fixed by a knowledgable wood worker he put the butt in a vice put a wedge in to spread the crack in the reciever area heated the wood, mixed epoxy, heated same poured it in the crack while forcing it in with his air compressor. sure beats $599 for a synthetic stock. it's hardly noticable. if you wan...

dave in maine

better than styrofoam, would be to ship the gun with the stock removed to be replaced when it arrives, i stoped at cabelas and picked up their alpha series 3 t0 12 scope for 74 bucks on sale from about 150 it's very clear for a cheap scope and has the bdc reticle, so i've got something to play with ...

dave in maine

osok your post is what made me look closer, what i first thought was a crease turned out to be a curse. the right side is also chipped off and was stuck in the action when i pried the stock off. as for the synthetic, i paid less for the rifle, talk about sticker shock, i almost wet my pants. thanks ...

dave in maine

well i just picked up a used 1895gs and lo and behold the stock is cracked severly at the tang. marlin isn't interested in my problem so i'm wondering does anybody make a synthetic stock for the guide guns? it seems the most practicle way to go.

something else to keep in mind is that pennies minted before 82 are worth more in copper value than face and nickles are worth more than face in bullion you might look up apmex for current coin values

iceman i've got one in 16 ga and i wouldn't sell it for 350 but then i'm a sentimental old coot.

dave in maine

being the frugal read that cheap skate that i am i found a great deal at wallys a colman led aluminum that takes two AA batteries has a button on off switch on the butt for around 29 dollars i like it so much i got three of them. give them a look.

dave in maine

sorry guys it's my ex wifes lawyer she gutted me with a pen and paper.

dave in maine

mine's set up for scheutzen and it's r handed and i'm not anybody know where i can get a pistol grip lever or if one from a modern hw will fit? i can get wood from treebone.

dave in maine

i'd think the waters and 30 30 would be better suited to a contender,as for the 375,one shot one deer. how about the 375 jdj?it's a cartridge that's supposed to outshine the win.

dave in maine

doesn't it seem as though a simple gun swap would cure both itches?

dave in maine

back in the early 50's my grandpa gave me a pair of ww1 flare pistols,and i discovered that the 12 ga.shotgun shells that dad had in the cellar fit,one shot and one sprained wrist later i put them up.no matter where i put that wrist the hurt didn't go away.if only i'd hammered some common sense into...

dave in maine

if i'm dressed it's a swiss army multi tool,small swiss army folder with scissors etc.and my favorite a gerber bolt action.ya just never know when you'll need one.

dave in maine

mine is 9.2 grains of blue dot with a 180 grain gas checked ww from a lee six hole mold that i got over at cast boolits,it tore the shoulder and lungs of a nice seven pointer.

dave in maine

lee 180 gr cast with gas check and 9.2 grains of blue dot avg.1430 fps and dropped a seven point buck. i got the mold in a cast boolits group buy.

dave in maine

sorry about the pics,it was a 25 yard shot more or less,the mold is a lee six cavity that i got over at cast boolits in a group buy last year.he was walking at me and offered me his right shoulder,it wasn't the shot i'd have prefered,but it was all i had.it looks like the boolit went through the lun...

dave in maine

this is the biggest deer i've ever taken,and doing it with boolits that i've cast and loaded is the icing on the cake.add to that it was taken from my tree stand in my back yard,the only downside was the drag back in the dark.perhaps it's time to get a four wheeler,i'm getting a little long in the t...

republic of so korea circa 1961 18 year old knuckle head chugaluged a bottle of cheap champagne on payday.result the first champagne fountain i ever saw,and one sick puppie.i'd have been better off with reycled mello yello.

dave in maine

i shot thirty rounds off this afternoon,and they chrono'd consistently around 1450 fps with no signs of excessive pressure.shooting offhand at fifty yards they were grouping well enough for me to want to use them for deer.

dave in maine

thanks for the post wind i've just finished loading 100 rounds with 9.2 grains of blue dot,behind the gas checked group buy of last year,i tried both blue dot and 2400 and found b d to be the most consistant.the boolits are ww and after finding two that i fired into a snowbank last winter they could...

dave in maine

try the marlin owners site i'm sure you'll find the answere to your problem.

dave in maine

i found a coleman that takes two AA bateries and has a very bright led at wallys it has exceeded my maglite in lumens.

dave in maine

it's been so long that i had to look at my dd 214 951.10 59-62

dave in maine

thanks griff and thanks for the site.

dave in maine

i can't believe that on the second day of the gun show i found a golden 39A that hadn't been scooped up.why you might ask? well i bought it for 230.00,and it is a beauty. it shoots everything i put in it right where it's aimed.i've been wanting one for a few years,and it was worth the wait. the seri...

dave in maine

i just checked my three screw 41 and it has play both with the hammer cocked and down,and i have no fear of shooting it with heavy loads;my predator also has some movement,and it has seen some heavy loads also. if you're concerned send it to me and i'll be glad to wring it out for you.

dave in maine

i bought into a six gang 180 gr lee mold that has to be loaded well into the 35 rem case,and the results were four holes in one inch at 50 yards,and if i might throw a little brag in here it was done off hand.well make that a lot of brag.the bullets are gas checked w/w air cooled and i fired some ou...

dave in maine

the main thing you must do is shut off the main power switch failure to do that may electrocute some poor soul working on the line.in my state it's against the law to run a gen.without a seperate switch punishable by a 10 k fine according to the electrician that removed over 500 from my savings acct.

dave in maine

i think you will end up rebreathing your old breath and could end up with drain bammage.i'd rethink this if i were you.

dave in maine

i'll be darned if i could adjust to the masks, i tried everything the va had and in the end i just gave up.it woke me up more than it helped me sleep. if you need any extras let me know and if i have it it's yours.

thanks to all who offered help in identifying the carbine it has the usual wear and tear including the cracks in the buttstock,with an old weaver k 2.5 scope.now for the sixty two dollar question any guesses as to the value? i'm off for a while enjoying the state before the leaf peepers get here so ...

dave in maine

any body got any info on a 99 with a barrel band the serial # is 373xxx i've never seen one like it and can't put a year on it.it seems to be calling me,i love oddball cartridges,and you can't have too many lever guns.is there a sight that deals with older savage 99s?
thanks in advance dave

dave in maine

both my goldwings were made in the us,an 83 1100,and an 87 1200,wish you lived closer,you could have the 83 for a song,it's been parked in the garage for over four years.of course part of the tune is bringing it back to running condition.

dave in maine

i don't know where i read it,but using the 125 gr bulet with a hot load may cause severe cutting in the chamber of your firearm it might be worth your time to look into it.

dave in maine

blue dot seems to give me slightly less velocity with decidedly less recoil in both marlin 1894 and gp 100

dave in maine

mine was made in the 80's and will shoot three shots into an inch at 100 yds from a cold bbl. from the box but most 06 s will do that imho it just takes tlime to find out what load that particular rifle likes.

dave in maine

you might try the castboolits forum,there are some hardcore casters there and lots of info. be careful,it's addictive.

dave in maine

would it work on a 32-40?
