Marlinman is that something the factory sells? I just read on another forum that Marlin will do the conversion for $300.

That pic brought me back to when I was a kid walking fence rows and stubble fields in Indiana hunting quail and pheasent with my brothers. Hope you go get some good memories with it.

mescalero1 - I haven't found the link yet, will let you know.

OSOK - PM sent. Wow. Thank you again much appreciated.

Chuck 100 yard - I am good to go, but you had me worried from the couch to the gun rack. Glad you said that, better to know now.

reo

Thank you I will try to find it on their site. If anyone else has something to add I would be glad to hear it.

Anyone here converted a pistol grip 336 to straight stock without purchasing anything new,i.e. heating and bending the lever, cutting the stock down and filing the frame? Any pointers or links to someone doing this allready on the web? I picked up a beater today and need something to do after huntin...

Iffel was a great moderator, Palin reestablished herself and McCain, and Biden got Barrack and his views out very well. They both won in their respective ways. I still disagree with most of both of their financial, domestic and foreign policies and I'll still be voting 3rd party. As a former 18 year...

Thanks Kirk, Midway has some h335 on the way to me. I was wondering if you have worked with it at all with the Speer or your cast bullet. Also, any experience with 2400 using either bullet?

reo

Nice shooting. Would you give the details on your cast bullet load and the 150 grain Speer load please.

reo

Fantastic.

reo

Appreciate the straight talk. I read Paco's articles and want to walk the line of getting all I can from my rifles. Although, I am very aware of the vast experience gap between him and I. In the past I have always stayed in the book on all of my loads until I started reading his stuff. I never would...

reo

If anyone can help I am looking for a load that will give 2500+ fps out of a 20" barrel 30-30 using Speer 150 gr flat points. Can it be done staying around 40,000 cup. My newest reloading manual is 12 years old. Have their been any new powders come out to up the velocity?

reo

I hope her first two big media disasters (IMO) were tactical moves to make Biden think she will be a push over and she comes out strong.

reo

Now that's funny.

reo

I think I need to be sneaking back down to the valley tomorrow.

Thank you all.

reo

I just found Hobie's article on the 336 straight grip. In it he says it is referred to as the Texan. I am wondering if it would be worth it to get that other one and restock. Any suggestions?

reo

I went to the valley today to pick up some reloading supplies and another 336. I went through town and then up to an area known as the orchards when I thought to myself, 'What in the world am I doing up here? Your turning in to Mr. Magoo.' The place I was intending to go was down on the river. Anywa...

reo

Reo, That is ecourgeing, I feel like I need to simpliy things. Perhaps these loads will lead to more commonality. It has always been fun to get a new gun/caliber go through the process of getting it to do what you want but at the end, "the perfect rifle/pistol" always faded away in to som...

I have read the posts on one rifle, pistol, powder, bullet, mould, etc and several months ago after two decades of considering it, I came up with mine, and have been putting theory into practice. I have sold off the collection except the 22's (LR's and WMR's), a Blackhawk in 45 colt, and a Marlin 33...

reo

Thank you all, my first thought was movers, then the cheap side of me relentlessly attacked until I was powerless. After all of your wise words it has been put back in check.

I bought the set that came with the taller front sight and it is installed, it's still not working.

reo

I have a 540 pound safe I want to put in the basement. One flight of stairs, inside, standard wood construction. Anyone have any suggestions besides several buddies? Will the regular appliance dolly work or is their something better?

reo

I put on a set of AO Ghost Ring sights on an older Marlin 336 and with the rear sight adjusted all the way down, it still shoots 7-9 inches high at 100 yards. E-mailed AO today, won't get a response till Monday, most likely. Anyone run in to this, it is new to me. I fired factory 150 and 170 grain j...

I only saw the last 45 minutes live and from that I would say McCain's debating skills were a hair better during that time. He obviously got under Obama's skin at one point. I went back and watched the first half in parts and really couldn't get a good impression of who did what better. The whole ti...

I used to switch back and forth between Hunter and Rifleman half and half around hunting season. Now just the Hunter. The Rifleman seemed liked it was the WWI and WWII Rifle Diaries for a while. I had enough of the military rifles in the military.

reo

I did 12 years ago and got a few books, I enjoy them, they are well done. The problem was with the ones you didn't want. Pain in the butt with returns. A year was enough for me.

reo

I came away with a similiar impression that you have with my 45C BB. Thanks for the review.

reo

Correct me if I am wrong, but the 22 Rem. Jet was a necked down 357 that was supposed to give around 2400 fps and ended up only giving about 2000 fps out of an 8+ inch barrel. If a sabot was employed it would seem you would have a little more case/powder capacity and not have the problem of the case...

Sorry to leave the topic a bit, but their is a woman in town who grew up in Salmon around Elmer Keith. She referred to him as the little guy with the big hat and gun. She tells a story of the local barber always wanting to trim EK's eyebrows but he always refused. One day he came in and passed out i...

Nice work, kinda makes me want to go out and get a project gun.

gamekeeper,

reminds me of that t-shirt. My parents went to (blank) and all I got was this dumb t-shirt.

Thought some of you might be interested in this pic of the entrance to Winchester, Idaho. A little town on the prairie, thirty minutes from Lewiston.

reo

That's tough, good luck on converting your collection to cash. I'm through with eBay too.

reo

Good to see these stories coming out. Thanks for posting.

It shouldn't be, but it is going to be hard to do the right thing in the voting booth this year. While saying, it is hard to do the right thing admits a character flaw, it is the only way to say it. Chuck Baldwin '08.

Haven't seen it yet, but thanks for the update.

I don't know if they are made any more but I have bought two pair of Dan Post elk skin boots. Excellent cowboy boot.

If I was looking for one I think I would go for it. That's what they were new before they stopped making them.

reo

USFA is supposed to put out an excellent revolver and I would think this would be no exception.

reo

What do you guys think? I like it, wouldn't give up my Bearcat or Single Six, but I could see owning one. The link to USFA gives a lot more information on the gun.

Nice work. I have always found the personal touches I have put in my rifle has given me a familiarity that extends to the shooting bench and hunting fields.

reo

Congratulations. A little shakings why I still go out.

reo

I have no experience with these bullets but it seems like you would get about the same penetration. I'd probably shoot the one that shot most accurately in my gun.

reo

As I recall the whole office/living room display is done as close to his home, with the allowable space. That is an entertaining script the EK manequin delivers. (It is also animated.) I had forgotten the story about him having that single action in his belt when searched by the Mounties. As I recal...

J Miller,

You got that right. The loading tube does detract from function and one more thing to get around to get to the rifles finer points.

reo

Definatley do, if it's important to you, might give a call ahead and see when the best chance that 270 will be around. I still want to. It's nice to have that little conncection with the things you have read about and are symbols of the two main schools of thought in hunting, IMO.

Where is the Jack O'Connor museum? I lived in Lewiston for several years and never heard anything about it. Or is it something just recently done in the last couple years? My memory isn't the greatest but I would say it has been their for 3 years. It as at the end of Hells Canyon Park up the hill o...

Combat Diver,

Great pic, are you in a MRAP? Never saw one in person. Came after I was there. Interesting chair your in. By the way, forum rules dictate not to go in to much detail, which is appropriate. Just in case you didn't know.

And welcome to the forum.

reo

When I look at the pictures I see what you mean. When I hold it and shoot it, it is a different story. I felt the same about the Blackhawk when I first saw them until I got one and shot it. Now life doesn't seem right without one. The Henry is starting to grow on me the same way.
