Men shell out fortunes to get to be the predator and in turn fund keeping those very animals alive. Never seen a lion pay 13k for the habitat upkeep of its prey. Regardless of how it is taken, this money is what allows them to keep those animals around. I fail to see the ethical issue some are runni...

My state has pretty reasonable laws. *shrug*

Crossbows during archery season for disabled or over 60
Pistols and rifles must be larger than .22 rimfire.

Only one that bothers me is the lame hunter safety course I had to take. Why couldnt I skip straight to a test?

http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/zoomed_model.pl?model_id=197 This thing looks so sexy I want it for myself! I wonder if I can convince my wife a $375 pellet gun is a good investment. :twisted: I didn't know anyone made anything like these. I bet you lever nuts knew about them though. They've got t...

I kinds did the same thing with my .357 Marlin... I have a TruGlo sight that looks like the one you're using, but it doesn't go "dim" enough to use at night, and around here there are so many goat-eating coyotes and chicken-eating raccoons that it requires a very dim dot so you can use it...

I took it out and sighted it in today (somewhat, didn't have a rest so its not perfect). I like it a lot, its fun to use. My friend who is a horrible shot was able to hit cow pies at 50 yards with it. He wants one for his pistol now so he can actually hit stuff with it. Now we shall see if it holds ...

> I thought that if the projectile were designed to properly expend all of its energy inside the target then it didn't matter I have not yet figured out what difference it makes whether all of a bullet's energy is expended within the target or on the far side of the moon, as long as it gets the job...

oic0

I've also always wondered why the army uses .223... Is it because its low recoil and cheap? and because it tumbles to cause larger wound channels as a loophole around the ban on expanding projectiles?

*derailing my own thread lol*

oic0

What about equal kinetic energy? What if that 310 grainer were going 1530fps instead ;) That's where I am lost. Some claim higher speed, even with equal overall energy, causes much greater damage. That left me a bit puzzled. Energy is energy right? does a faster bullet impart that energy in a more d...

A discussion on another forum about .223 vs .357 (From carbine) got me to thinking about this. A full house .357 load from a carbine has more energy out to a certain range than a .223. The main controversy was whether or not a slow fat heavy round would do less damage than a small fast round. I thou...

I like the reloading method. I don't like thinking about how much ammo I have in the gun or worrying about running out. No reloading a clip etc... I just stuff more rounds in to the side of the gun. A pump gun could work too but style pushes it in favor of the lever ;) I also just like the style and...

I couldn't help it. I'm still waiting on my backordered williams FP and this seemed tempting. Now that I've got it on there it just seems so darned easy, adding to the ease and fun of the gun. Just wish I had the money for a good one like an eotech. This one should survive well on this gun though si...

Semi auto and multiple shots DOES help a lot in a combat situation. As does massive clips. Even in a bad times scenario though I don't foresee many firefights taking place. Try to think of situations where a real firefight would take place, real situations. Even criminals follow the path of least re...

Supersonic crack :D Is that with the super lightweight ammo? you might try some heavier pellets to get it subsonic, quiet it down, and get better accuracy. IF you decide you want more power, get one of these bad boys ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-hJYrR_-gw&feature=related There are also cu...

Like the other guy said, take a TON of ammo. Go somewhere where you can see the impacts of even the wild misses. Setup a few targets, then just have at it. I used to have a ton of fun with a brick of cheap .22 ammo and trying to guesstimate to hit stuff so far away you could count the seconds before...

Definitely looks the most like a Rast Gasser, but not exactly, which leads me to believe it is a home made attempt. I know it's missing a few parts, but even the Rast Gassers that came out of the factory weren't that asymmetrical and crooked I don't think. This may just be from years of pitting or ...

oic0

Rast Gasser From google image search I think you're right. A factory actually made something this crude? It looks more abused and neglected than crude. But even new it was uglier than anything has a right to be. I agree, it is very abused and neglected. It doesn't have a straight line on it though....

My granpa got it from a storage building someone fail...

One thing I wonder about, even if you seated the primer high, wouldn't the impact from the recoil just fully seat the primer? I have the cheap little lee loader kit. Know how it loads primers? the primer sits on a little pedestal, the cartridge centers above it, then you beat the bejeezus out of it ...

Rossi was crazy enough to make .454 casull. Maybe if this catches on they will design something for the .500 too? 3,500 ft lbs of energy in a big fat chunk of lead coming from a lil ol lever gun seems like it would be a good ol time. Then again I guess you can do that with a hot 45-70, but it would ...

I wonder what kind of velocities it gets out of a rifle. I would LOVE to have one. Alas, thats just too much $$$ for me. I will have to stick with a cheaper production .454 casull lever gun.

I didn't know anything about the 38-55 so I googled it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.38-55_Winchester Looks like the anemic factory ammo for it is about as powerful as .357 magnum out of a carbine so if you aren't reloading at all wouldn't the .357 be a better than the 38-55 for ammo price and avai...

Skip the salesman and order one online

the things are so cheap there is no reason for a salesman to be involved. They range from 20 for barebones stuff to 90 or so for a cool touch screen one.

Down here it always meant any rifle thats not a .22 rimfire. We call a .22 rimfire rifle a "22". Everything else is a rifle. Adding "high power" on to the name is optional and can be applied to any if the mood strikes or for emphasis. Which I find funny because when I looked up t...

A tough old badlanders rancher once told his grandson that the secret to long life was to sprinkle a little gunpowder on his oatmeal every morning. The grandson did religiously, and he lived to be 93. When he died, he left 14 children, 28 grandchildren, and 35 great-grandchildren...and a 15 foot ho...

I just bought some two weeks ago for 34 per 1k. Powder was 19 and they had every kind under the sun stocked (Bass Pro, I've never heard of Bi-mart).
I think they are just taking advantage of the demand to make an extra $6 on you guys.

I'm new to it also., but like Hobie, mine sits on a book shelf. If falling over were a huge danger, it wouldn't be haphazardly scattered all over the shelves at the store, or even out where you can touch it without supervision. The only thing I wonder about is the threads on the lid. I know I always...

I've got an 09 1894C SS. Metal finish is nice. Inside had some crustiness and hints of rust. Insides sharp and serrated. Lever to carrier lobe still sharp and going to cause the "marlin jam" eventually. Also some slight flaws in the metal the loop was machined from. Requires close inspecti...

oic0

The marlins have the double feed issue after you cycle them a bazillion times. You can replace or modify a single piece to fix it. I'm not sure why any of them would be bothered by could though, unless the lubricant didn't get along with low temperatures.

One shot of .22LR is not a killer, but it's so easy to shoot, I believe I could get off at least 3 or 4 shots in under a second at close range into center of mass, or even the head. This is all theory, of course, never having done that. I would think that the .32 would be similar in a double action...

Devils advocate here, someone had to do it :evil: I've never been in a shootout before but I have played a LOT of paintball. I may fire 50-200+ rounds per match and only hit 1 maybe 2 people.

Went in thinking I would see what they had and pick from that. I think bass pro had ever kind of powder under the sun. I picked up Unique since I remember hearing so many loads described with it in them. Was $19.99. Also splurged and got 100 new brass, also 19.99. Lastly, 1000 small pistol primers. ...

You guys all buy once fired brass? Looking at new brass, .357 brass alone costs almost as much as loaded .38 specials.

I have a short python but all of this is going in to my 1894. My friend with a taurus may bum some but so long as it goes bang and misses the same barn door he's been missing all day, he will be happy. Loading .38 special power levels in .357 is fine too. I won't be trying to take a deer with this. ...

I love my states gun laws. No hokey stuff about "must hunt deer with grenade launcher to be humane" It just says any centerfire .22 caliber or above, any pistol (same rule), or any shotgun with slugs or buckshot. Also has separate provisions for primitive and antique design guns. I'm glad ...
