Not to hijack this thread but every man, woman and child in this country will be faced with the same or even worse issues once socialized medicine is firmly entrenched and it's highly unlikely there will be any organizations out there to help.

"My Name Is Nobody"

One of a trilogy of films featuring Terence Hill. Spaghetti Westerns with an Italian sense of humor, they were fun but don't seem to be remembered today. They were:

"They Call Me Trinity"
"Trinity Is Still My Name"
"My Name Is Nobody"

Two months? I would have to be on a heavy dosage of Valium to hold out for two months.

I can't think of a better rifle for whitetail here in VA than that one and that's not even factoring in the classic style.

Hawkeye2

I didn't comment on the quality only that it is the only thing recent that isn't a remake.[/quote] Jeepnik I hope you didn't take my rant as directed toward you as it wasn't though I now can see how it might have been taken that way. I used your quote to reference the movie and that probably was a m...

Looks like Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World) is playing the role played by Steve McQueen. He's a good actor. So is Denzel. Hopefully it isn't messed up. The more good westerns that are made, even remakes, the more likely we are to see good new original ones. I'm with you all ...

Hawkeye2

About the only recent non remake western was Hateful Eight. And that was such a disgusting filthy tasteless piece of trash I shut it down about a third of the way through. In my 71 years I have never seen such a worthless disgusting tasteless offensive piece of trash as that movie and I have watche...

Saw the trailer, I'm not impressed!

The original had a great cast, great music and no computer generated effects.

Hawkeye2

There are 3 makers out there, Kirst, R&D (Howell Old West Conversions) and Taylors & Co. The Kirst is more expensive but offers options the others don't such as a loading gate if you wish to modify your revolver (which transforms it into a regular cartridge gun and therefore subject to all a...

At one time years ago Numrich had a very large assortment of Winchester Commerative parts ( medallions, stocks, bands, barrels, etc.) and they may still have some left.

I'm 100% in agreement with Sore Shoulder regarding force and brutality to train a dog. Would a person use the same methods to train his/her spouse, children and friends? (Unfortunately there are people who do and I work in a place where we have to deal with the results.) A dog responds to love and t...

Hawkeye2

As most everyone has said you have a young strong energetic dog and to top everything off he is extremely intelligent. Attempting to dominate a dog by physical means isn't the best method though it works for some. One thing you never want to try is to force the dog on his back and then hold him down...

Hawkeye2

I hope that you are only curious as to what the factory charge weighs and what the powder looks like. Attempting to duplicate a factory load by weighting the charge and guessing as to what the powder is based on appearance or what someone tells you is a recipe for disaster. There are plenty of manua...

Go for it! Offend people? Anyone offended by the flag of their native country or the country they choose to live in has no right to complain or to even live here.

The two standing characters at the bottom left and right of the poster were lifted directly from the cover of a DVD of a 2009 Western called " The Showdown" they at least pictured the rifle carrying man correctly, not reversed. "The Showdown" was just recommended by Netflix when ...

Hawkeye2

Stand straight, feet slightly apart. Mount the gun firmly against your shoulder, right elbow high to hold it there. Don't force it against your shoulder but do not allow any slack or hold it limply. Those things will allow the gun to accelerate and pound you harder. The idea is to transfer the recoi...

It's smoking cause Mild Bill hid his stogie in the gun barrel when he saw his Ma coming down the street. The lawman on the right has a right hand rig and is holding his rifle left handed. The man on the ground seems to be grinning about his situation. I don't see anything in that poster that would i...

I have a Navy Arms Rossi 92 in .45 Colt, probably late 1990's vintage. SRC with a casehardened receiver and buttplate, real American walnut wood. A good friend offered it to me at a price I couldn't refuse so that I could get started in CAS. He had had it slicked up and it is as smooth and reliable ...

Hawkeye2

The Lee 6 cavity mold handles are about as versatile as I have ever seen and they might well work. I bought a pair on Amazon for about $12 with free shipping as part of a larger order.

I'm eagerly anticipating buying some Ruger 10/22 BX 25 mags while I'm up there (illegal to buy in MD, but completely legal for me to buy in another state and bring them home to MD and use them in MD...don't get me started). Thanks in Advance, Mike Mike, There is absolutely no way for you to le...

Hawkeye2

I don't know where you are in MD but I go north to Maine often and I recommend I81 to I84, 495 around Boston and then I95. That is a scenic drive which will take you around a lot of places with more traffic and congestion and avoids a lot of geographical areas that harbor people whose views are oppo...

Disassemble as much of the lubrisizer as you can and then place all the parts in an aluminum turkey roasting pan. put it on the stove or in the oven and bring the temperature up to just under a boil. Leave it there a half hour or more and most of the lube will float to the top. let it cool, take out...

I have a younger brother (borne 1947) who is left handed.

On eBay you can close an auction anytime up till the item receives a bid. After a bid has been placed you must complete the auction and you cannot stop the auction early and sell to the then highest bidder. Conversely the bidder has entered into a legal contract to buy when he/she places a bid. If t...

I believe that the '85 Hi Wall was made in every cartridge that was available till after the turn of the century.

Add this to your list: '85 in 40-70 Ballard. I have one with a #4 barrel and a single set trigger.

"The ATF, like the IRS, does not have any sense of humor."

The IRS is Comedy Central compared to the BATF.

Hawkeye2

Pre '68 all guns except .22s and shotguns had serial numbers and it was illegal to remove or deface them even then. The better .22s and shotguns did have serial numbers though not required. I think I would steer clear of that one.

"Radioactive Hogs are out of control" If I remember that was a Roger Corman movie I saw as part of the Saturday afternoon double feature.

From the mid '50s. There were 3 kits; the 99, a Winchester 94 and a Mannlicher-Schoenauer. Aurora got the molds and reran them circa '59. They aren't too difficult to find on eBay or some of the old kit sellers. I never had one but a friend built one and my memory was that the parts didn't fit toget...

A very interesting read: "Why Gavin Newsom's gun law won't help"

Sounds like a $300 gun to me. I can remember when you could buy a new one for south of $100.

Is it possible he was overcompensating for something else that should have been hard and dense?

Thanks to all.

Two things about the news video that I originally saw that really impressed me were the following: The news commentator had her facts right, did not try to stir an emotional pot and did not try to start a crusade to ban Tannerite or guns. A big plus to her, it's so unusual to see/hear news reported ...

My email said order cancelled, discontinued. Denis Understood that. :) What I tried to say in the first sentence of my post was that Winchester discontinues .32 Special production frequently. I probably should have waited till after my second cup of coffee before posting. :D They run a batch, wait ...

Hawkeye2

Are you sure discontinued doesn't just mean that production run is over and production won't be resumed till all inventory at the plant and on down the chain is sold off and then there is a sufficient demand to run another batch. I have been given to believe that .32 Special and other low demand bra...

Hawkeye2

Is this a pre smokeless powder gun? The firing pins in smokeless guns (as well as the hole) was of a smaller diameter than blackpowder guns. If this is an older gun that has been fired a lot with black powder and corrosive primers the nose of the firing pin may be eroded and they sometimes form a sh...

There has been a major redesign of the interior parts since then and if anything breaks or wears out you are (S#*%) out of luck. There aren't any parts available.

Hawkeye2

I expect I could find out what'll happen by maxing out a couple with 3f under a wadcutter. Put on safety equipment, a welding glove and bust a couple of caps in my old FIE derringer.

Even if they really are copper I wouldn't be concerned about the need to fire them is a strong gun. The case would expand and seal as well as brass and the case itself has little to to with the ultimate strength of the firearm unless it fails and allows gas back into the action.

Hawkeye2

Since the .32-40 and the .32 Special share the same bore diameter and twist I have always wondered if using the lighter .32-40 bullet and corresponding load data wouldn't produce an accurate and gentle load for my vintage Model 94. Anyone tried it? I would like to shoot the gun for fun and not batte...

Griff, would a blank need a larger flash hole? I always thought they used the standard size.

Please disregard this thread. I had started to resurect it and then changed my mind. I thought it had disappeared when I deleted my post but I see it came back. Here is the new discussion: Post subject: Copper .38 Special cases
