About half my reason was because yall are always posting cool sounding loads and I think to my self "I wish I had some of those to shoot, sounds powerful yet they say the pressure is safe and its accurate!". Then I hunt around for some similar performance to buy and its usually around $1 p...

I agree Charles, a lot of people don't understand Buddhism. Its not a religion. If you ask someone their religion and they say Buddhist they probably mean atheist without saying it upfront or are trying to sound sophisticated. If they are Christian and study Buddhism they would probably just reply t...

Starting cheap though I bought some accessories that would be usable if or when I decide to get a good press and die set.

Supposed to get so cold here they have asked us to stock enough food for 3 days in case we cant get out. Water mains busting all over the place. It rarely gets super cold here but its supposed to rain like heck then drop down in to the single digits and hard freeze. People here do NOT know how to dr...

The paranoia about gun thieves is alien to me here in Louisiana. Every one of my family members has guns. All of my friends have guns. The only people I know who don't have guns are single females, have too many DUIs, and one ultra lib guy that lived in Houston hanging out with the emo crowd for the...

Higher energy rounds have a higher chance of shock waves creating remote organ damage and the quick blood pressure spike causing blood vessels in the brain to explode right? I would be much more confident that if I shot a perp with the hot 125g JHP double tap loads that they would fall down and neve...

Man way ahead of his time I guess lol
And here I thought the buffalo bore 158g at 2153 was an example of new age experimentation and ballistics... meanwhile he had 160g at 2135 before I was born.

Ok now one of you guys go load this up and see if your gun holds together

oic0

As to sonic waves killing something if it were possible it would happen all the time shoting praire dogs, but all they do is duck and run. That is a very good point. I have shot at an insane number of turtles in my time. Nothing other than a direct hit kills them. I'm sure I have poisoned the pond ...

Looking at the wood fitting on something they gave away for free compared to my brand new gun is depressing lol.

Download the program called Unetbootin on to another computer and pop a flash drive in (empty one or one with stuff you don't care about on it) http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ Then from the distribution list, I think NTpasswd is the one you need? never fiddled with it before. Pretty sure that is ...

Shock waves can kill pretty well. There are even a few species of shrimp in the ocean who's method of hunting involves a really powerful claw that does nothing but snap and make a shock wave to kill fish. Then of course as you guys know a good impact causes brain damage from the sudden spike in bloo...

My wife is actually the doomer of the household. I like it though. "lets get supplies just in case, what do you want to add to the list?" ... "guns and ammo "

oic0

Um, no I haven't. Not aware of any that require registration to invoke the warranty. Not certain that I care. The 1894 I just bought had a slip in it that said I had 5 days to mail it in if I want to have a warranty. Wanted the SN etc... I didn't do it. I know some other manufacturers will honor wa...

If you're that worried about marring it up, get rid of it. It's a tool, not a historic antique that belonged to Kit Carson. The second you took possession of you it devalued. When you worked the action it devalued again. It's not a collectible, it's a tool, a hunting gun, a shooting gun. I've mount...

oic0

Not really comparable but I put some 125g double taps through mine. Supposed to be a bit hotter than buffalobores 125gs. No stickiness. Fed well, and shot off the paper at ~35 yards (well, empty bulk detergent bucket) when sighted for .38s. The very next thing I was going to order was some 158g buff...

oic0

I'm either going to let it hang off the back or scoot it forward. No drilling and tapping. Will probably put something between it and the receiver too. shim made of plastic ziplock or trash bag maybe? The price tag still looms heavily in my mind. The thought that if worst came to worst, it is still ...

oic0

I stated it elsewhere but thought some of you might like one of these. Its the FP + firesight model for pretty much the 5D price. Yes it is out of stock and at first I thought they were doing the really lame bait and switch where they post a really good price on out of stock items just to get you in...

Ever had a hunters safety course? "Guns should be kept under lock and key. Never loaded. Ammunition should be kept elsewhere also under lock and key" Personally though, I keep a loaded .357 mag in the top of my closet. Maybe I should keep some in the rifle too, stinking loading spring is a...

oic0

Who are you hiding it from and would you need quick access to it? You get a DUI or something? Anywho, I would go with under the insulation in the attic. Who wants to get all itchy searching there? Maybe buy a large bag of silica gel in a cloth bag. Cut a seam, dump a lil bit out. Stash a couple hand...

oic0

Just to add to what the others keep saying, have him get that 30-06 everyone knows he should get... but have him buy a cheap one and spend the leftover cash on a bolt action .22 so he can learn to shoot. It would be worth it since he could get a .22 and a brick for less than it would cost to buy eno...

oic0

It seems the dealers big issue is to him your retailer is one of his wholesalers. He needs to realize that they have a retail operation too! Maybe he needs to stop considering them a wholesaler if they have an online storefront and deal directly with customers. Anyhow, its not your job to question h...

oic0

Yep you got screwed. When they were contacted for the FFL info and given information on the order they shouldn't have accepted if they don't do new guns. Plain and simple. To accept it and then extort money out of you while holding on to it is WRONG. I recently bought a gun the same way. The local o...

oic0

stuff, I hate you midway. FP-336 reciever sight with front firesight for 55 + 3 shipping. Looking soooo tempting. When you knock of the 19 for the firesight I want anyway the rear peep sight is only $37... already calibrated, much more adjustable, and ready to rock :oops: I had to bite. A little bit...

oic0

Okay - you all convinced me. I love sci-fi, but had heard this movie was heavy on the enviromental message - to the point of being overbearing. Sounds like it's not so bad - and the special effects are worth it! :D Watch it in 3d. This movie seemed like it was made from the bottom up for 3d. None o...

Probably be safe with a .375 right?

oic0

It was clear that the writers had an agenda with their message of imperialism, capitalistic exploitation and greed. Our Army invaded a peaceful people to try to enforce our way of life while exploiting their forests and resources. But the story was still a good one, and it resolved itself well. Tha...

oic0

Does anyone know the typical front sight height people go with on the 1894C rifles when they change to an aperture? I've heard some people say stick with the stock, I've heard others say the stock will shoot way high, heard others says a .375, and others say a .400. Google is offering me no love on ...

64*F with 94% humidity here.
NW Louisiana.

So they probably just copy and pasted the ballistic coefficient from the hollow point of the same weight? well that is no fun. How are we supposed to theorize

oic0

Ok so I was researching this new hyped ammo. Supposed to stretch the range of lever guns and make them shoot flatter blah blah blah. I was having grand dreams of what they could do if loaded like buffalobore or you guys would load them (~2200fps). Possibly a 200+ yard pistol round carbine?!?! Then t...

M6 metric nut? Lookin at em online, thumb nuts are expensive! starting to think it might be cheaper to take a 6-32 thumb screw from a computer case and drill straight through it with a press then make it in to a thumb nut. *edit* ok I have a bit better understanding of nuts and bolts now and I get w...

oic0

They are hard to get now, so are .38s. It isn't because they are going anywhere though, its because they are so popular and everyone has one. Now they've all at once decided to horde ammo since Obama got into office and the economy went in the crapper (hording survival supplies + scared some new amm...

I see how many lever guns are in his collection. It must be one of you

House, car, or boat here in Louisiana. If you feel threatened, you can shoot em. They don't even have to be in your house or car, they can just be trying to get in. In my criminal justice class in college, taught by a local officer who had the requisite degree, we were told about a guy who slept thr...

J Miller wrote: Nostalgia? Really? To some maybe, but they are just as effective today in the hands of a rifleman as they were in 1890s to early 1900s.

That just added to the nostalgia for me

oic0

Don't forget these are nostalgic weapons that sell at least partly on image. Also, having more distance between the front and rear sight increases accuracy.

oic0

Ran in to a slight issue. I would "like" a knurled thumb nut with a tall shoulder. Of course there are no nuts in this entire world made with 8-40 thread pattern apparently. That only leaves me with the option of buying for a smaller hole, drilling it out, and rethreading it (tap only cost...

oic0

The idea is that a blank won't penetrate and you can't see what is behind or around the person right? What about a commercially available shot shell or a home shot load? Then if a circumstance did arise where you had a little distance on the person but somehow knew nothing was around them or within ...

Got the bolt in and updated with pics. Still needs some more work.

Lewis and Clarke took small and medium game with air guns.... And the Austrians used them as repeating sniper rifles against Napolean's army. He feared them so much he ordered any enemies caught with them to be executed since they were unfair. All this fun stuff never made it in to the history book...

oic0

As you can tell by my other post I have been digging a bit in to gun history and the odd balls ;). I did a bit of research and learned more about air rifles. I learned the ones we used today are pretty much toys but there have been, and still are, ones that are actual hunting rifles. First I found a...

I thought they cost more than that!
The regular stainless .357s run in the 600s.

Hi oic0, I used to work for the company back in the late 60's. The Gyrojet was a novelty. That is the best you could say about it. The 13mm version ran afoul of the BATF rules and had to be re-designed as a 12mm. The BATF still wasn't satisfied because the bore was smooth so they considered a sawed...

Maybe build a parabolic reflector for your wireless antenna? Then you just need to figure out where the tower is and point it towards it (or rotate the reflector until your signal suddenly becomes awesome). for a perfectionist type one http://www.binarywolf.com/249/pub/wifi_booster.pdf You wold prob...

oic0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoffTmg9bxU I find these gyrojets very cool. At 20 yards they reach their peak velocity and break the speed of sound. Had you guys ever seen these before. The accuracy was pretty terrible at long ranges though and at short ranges it hadn't built up enough speed to be d...

Bit OT here have you guys tried chrome? its similar to opera and firefox but opens up more screen real estate. I browse on a 42 at home but here at work I am on a 17" and it literary gives over an inch of extra space.

oic0

I'm retired so I spend a lot of time on forums, not just gun forums, but all kinds of forums. And invariably whenever anyone has a computer problem, the non-computer types pipe-up with "dump IE and load Foxfire". Fact is, I have run IE since it has been inception, now on IE 8.0.6001 and I...

Here is what I have found sofar, what do you guys think? I learned from skinners page that it is 8-40 threads. No eye bolts offered in that. Just knurled thrumb screws and these spring anchors. I am thinking a spring anchor could be perfect though! and if it is too small I can epoxy a washer on to i...
