Winchester parts? I believe the current Miroku 92 large loop carbines are also using the old style carbine ladders--or at least a facsimile of. I don't know the dovetail size but hopefully standard Win 3/8" (.375). On my list this spring is making.a clone of the rareist-of-the-rare "Pre Wa...

Keep in mind that link is to a Flattop which is the smaller midframe - if that is what you are (or are not) looking for. They're not rated for "Ruger Only" ammo like the large frame BH is, but fine for most anything else off the shelf, not just "cowboy" loads....and I believe all...

Tia reminds me a lot our first springer (in my memory) - a male also mostly white - ca 1953-61. He was shot by someone with a .22 at 2 yrs and shrugged it off...back tromping in the woods in a few weeks. Thanks, from Tia. Your dog hit with a 22!! How that happen? N. I was too young then to recall, ...

I don't necessarily disagree with most comments here on general principle, but just as an exercise, I have a question: How is it that different to "rectify" the mag tube and barrel with "original" old-but-good-and- correct-length parts now versus someone perhaps doing the same ye...

Hey, anything in 16ga is ok in my book. Only problem with the cat is it's not a springer spaniel

Good choice - always worked for me! (But I like the .45-70 too!)

Other than some of the more expensive specialty makers that are always there, it does seem to be slim picking out there. Some of the few highlights to me: I think the Ruger midframes are generally a fine lot - love my .357 Montado and .44 Sheriff twins especially and look forward to a flattop this (...

To the OP's thread title, sure been there and done that - two days nothing but cold one year I remember in particular. Back in 1971, my dad and I were taken by a neighbor-friend (150 miles in the back of an then -old Scout) to a spot in N. Arizona. Next morning at 4 o'clock and about 10 degrees, we ...

For those of us who've been wondering what the heck is going on at USFA...this would seem to shed some light. The website has changed - http://www.usfirearms.com now brings up a completely new (pending) website/company manufacturing vector/shift - to paraphrase "The best is yet to come. We have...

Another +1 for a great San Antonio visit. Part of my growing up was done there. If you get to missing your homeland, check out Enchanted Rock northwest of town. Not exactly the same as Ayers Rock, but maybe the closest thing we have to it and very special in its own right. A huge monolithic dome you...

Snack proof your pets! Realizing many folks may not have the luxury of this particular set up, there are parts that could be emulated. We solved the issue of pet protection with a covered yard area.

] Nice double-rifle though. I cringed when Bond threw it on the floor. :o I still cringe on the old TV westerns when they drag real--not just rubber dummy--92s (El Tigres and real Wins) over rocks, or when the bad guys give up their guns and toss their real Colts/Great Westerns in the dirt. To add ...

Good report - looking forward to seeing it! Major Bond fan. Like pizza, IMO never really been a "bad" Bond movie, just some much better than others! As Craig said in a recent interview, to paraphrase, "they leave it all (profit$) on the screen." All very entertaining. Wow, I didn...

AJMD429 - good points. I think mosty in "known" bear and mountain lion country there's comfort in having a larger (.357+) bore handgun on your person or handy close by even if there's a long gun present. Even javelina on your trail can be nasty and can give you a start rounding.a blind ben...

Having a hard time editing my post off the mobile. I meant my combo gun rifles are Rossi 92s not Win 92 (wishful thinking!)...in .357 or .44 paired with same cal handuns noted.

Montado .3557 or NV Sheriff .44 as camping/woodsing'/tromping "carry" gun-- paired with Win 92 of either cal. Otherwise, "bedside" and urban-carry/travel - S&W 65LS (Lady Smith). 3" K-frame. Doesn't get much better than one of these IMO. I have an older .40 auto and the ...

Ji, That would make Mauna Kea nd Mauna Loa two of the tallest mountains around - measured a relief from their land base (sea level)! Few others would even come close. As spectacular as they are, the "fourteeners" in Colorado for instance are actually "just" 5-8k or so in relief. ...

These come quickly to mind:

I've shot my marlin 30-30 back to back with a marlin 44mag, and I thougth that the .44 recoil was more unpleasant than the 30-30 It's good to see I'm not the only one who sees things that way. There's just something different about that .44 recoil that bothers me. Kind of like 9mm AR15s. It should ...

We've got coyotes taking over (and taking pets) in Paradise Valley (NE Phoenix) and I saw one trotting around a neighborhood in south-central Scottsdale the other morning, as if it was nothing. I'm thinking some of our eagles or hawks should swoop down and take care of some of the 'yote pups!

That's really interesting......I wonder if he got to use the same Colt in every episode? The one I want to see is The Duke's 1000 shot M-16 from Green Beret.

I'm not arguing with the chart as I have no experience with the .458 (.416 Rigby, etc, what have you) - types, but was surprised the 12 gauge topped those African big game thumpers. My 12, while a very "healthy" kick, doesn't seem so earthshaking. I've shot my friend's .375 H&H a fair ...

What the charts don't tell you is "felt" recoil. They've always put .44 Mag ahead of .30-30 by a pound or so, which I've found odd from my experience. The .30-30 is not bad at all to me (out of a typical 20"), but while the .44's is a "different" kind of recoil--sharper cycl...

Just beautiful! Contrary to popular belief and CofC ads, we get snow in Arizona, some years lots of it.
