Good sambar is dead sexy and I'll take it anytime I can with the exception of the hand cannons, they get bearpaw wood grips. For me nothing comes close to the feel of good quality sambar. Not so big on elk or newer sambar, it needs to have some popcorn. I like the op's grips. These two are a modifie...

Not surprising. My little brother never fired a live round in navy boot, all weapons training was laser simulators. This was at Great Lakes in 2000 iirc.

Would a browning 71 hammer work if an 86 wasn't availible?

medicdave

They're looking for a bigger one in the same area now thats been eating people and farmers water buffalo. Typhoons, earthquakes, and now monstor crocs.....It stays interesting over here.

Quick question. Will a Browning 71 fit the Miroku Browning and Winchester 1886's?

medicdave

Enjoy the trip I've been moved over full time on olongapo for a few months. The people and weather are great once you get away from Manila.

medicdave

What a guy, please put my name in the hat. Dave

medicdave

Don't feel bad guys since I moved over to the Philippines, its a $1500 plane ticket and 27hrs each way to come back to the states to shoot my guns. $20 in gas and range fees sounds like a deal. Just remember its all relative. I'm going to a rental range in the PI this time home and I'll fill you in ...

medicdave

Correct me if I'm wrong isn't there a warning from CCI about shooting aluminum pistol caliber (40/45)rounds in revolvers? Maybe I'm thinking of the shot loads, but I remember something about aluminum cased 40's in my 646. Its a pain getting old LOL.

medicdave

Keep an eye out in the classifieds, my brother just got a guide gun with all the xs and wildwest parts he would of added out of the classifieds here much less than new. I was on the hunt for an 1886el for over a year when I found a shop closing it out for $650 otd because "That old stuff don't ...

medicdave

Good deal, the hunts on then.

medicdave

Do the Miroku's have the rebounding hammer or a safety?

medicdave

I know its a litle off topic but it still has a lever right? I'm looking at one of these to replace a A-Bolt hornet I sent down the road. Just curious what lawyer BS they added into the 1885 models. The Hornets are low walls if I'm not mistaken. Any differences between the Brownings and Winchesters?...

medicdave

I'm interested. Have to watch the schedule I'm out of the country half the time.

medicdave

On the L frame it was the 646 in 40s&w. Some have been converted to 10mm but not so wise imho. 610's are N frames.

medicdave

Using the LNL AP press, the added height of the bushings doesn't let some dies (Lee in some calibers 45 colt included) screw in far enough to be usefull. I just replaced my pisol dies with Hornady's. Love the press by the way, enough I have two, one for small primers and one for large. RCBS rifle di...

medicdave

I would prefer a steel Lyman they just look right, the Williams look wrong on a classic gun like that.

medicdave

The ar/m16 shouldn't be dry fired with out the upper on as the hammer smacks the mag well. Otherwise its good to go dropping the hammer on an empty chamber.

medicdave

Our bighorns do the same these were taken at the Buffalo Bill dam in Cody, WY. Got them in an email today.

I rigged my 870 police with trijicon ghost ring and front night sight, 2 round extension and a Knoxx Specops stock. It absorbs a ton of recoil and is collapsible like an M4 stock. Takes the recoil way way down. http://www.blackhawk.com/product/SpecOps-Adjustable-Shotgun-Stock,1158,1447.htm You can a...

I had a Kimber montana in 308 that was a dream. I fitted it with Talley lightweight rings, and a Leupold ultralight 2-7x33mm scope, and the whole shebang was just under 6 pounds. Would keep the first 3 shots in an inch at 100yds. Opened up slightly with sustained fire, but how many times do you need...

medicdave

Knoxx comp-stocks, I believe now owned by Blackhawk! has recoil reducing stocks. The SpecOps on my 870p reduces recoil down to around a 28g auto. Used to have one with their wire folding stocks and even my little bitty girlfriend could shoot slugs one handed with it. VERY effective, but also ugly as...

medicdave

Can't remember where or when, but it was recent that they had a controlled round vs push feed comparison for cycling at 90, 180, 270, and 360 degrees orientation. The push feed failed to cycle correctly a couple of times I believe upside down, and straight up. Not a lot, but on a dangerous game rifl...

medicdave

I have a Varmint Stalker in .223 and a Hunter in .22 Hornet, and both are shoot the lights out one ragged hole grouping guns. Had a couple in hunting calibers that were all MOA or less rifles. Excellent rifles.

medicdave

"The infamous tang safety? Well it now locks the hammer on safe in either the down or half cock position. But remember that you also have the added safety of a spring loaded and shorter than the bolt firing pin which betters the original '86 design. (think a tried and true 1911 firing pin desig...

I like MedicDave's $26/500 better. Might have to find my own mold! :wink: Those were jacketed round nose softs. They were a really neat bullet as they were "bonded" by having the jacket pierced into the core much like a can opener would a juice can. Never shed a jacket past the piercings ...

medicdave

The best 30/30 loads I ever came up with were some 180gr RN bullets out of canada I got for $26/500. The load was 30gr of R15 with the crimp over the bullets ogive to maintain OAL. I never chronoed it, but it knocked the living daylights out of hogs. Bang flop deals. I like the heavy bullets in the ...

medicdave

I ussually seat mine a few thousands off of the lands if the magazine box is long enough to match the throat. Most of my rounds are seated out pretty far. The easiest way I've figured my length is to put a piece of fired brass in the sizer die, and size just enough when you seat a bullet long it wil...

medicdave

My 32/20 order just got charged, if your looking for some guys. Right on time as was the 45/70's that came 2 months ago. Great brass and company.

medicdave

Its the rifle in 35rem. 22" barrel, walnut furniture, later sight (not the little wheel deal), SN 915xx. Found the secret to getting the forend, magazine and carrier off. This poor rifle was absolutely filthy and didn't look like much, but now that it is stripped and clean, it's not half bad. S...

medicdave

Thanks Danny, already found that one, just wanted to see if some one had instructions listed. By the way the .pdf doesn't work that great, replace it with .html and it will pop up for anyone else that needs it. Now anyone have listed instructions since I can't find that on google? Thanks Dave

medicdave

Hey there all, bought a Remington 14 in 35 Rem. today when I went to look at a presafety Rossi 92. Does any one have disassembley instructions, as this thing is filthy! I know better than to try taking the bolt apart, but I need to get the slide away from the frame and get the forearm off in particu...

medicdave

I'm looking at a 5.5-22x56mm Nightforce for mine. Has the largest elevation adjustment for the big boys. Should be able to do 1000yds w/o angled bases. Look at badgers max 50 rings while your at it.....Dave

medicdave

I got a great deal on a few thousand 180gr rn bullets a few years ago and combined with 30gr of R15, you couldn't ask for more out of any of the 30/30's I've tried them in. Sounds like your loads alittle light...Dave

medicdave

Undersize is an understatement. I just did three of my rugers throats, two I had to use the .4480 pilot, and the third used a .4495. All much better now at .4525. Not hard at all to do yourself. Takes about 10 minutes per cylinder. You'll spend more time cleaning the reamer betweek cylinders than ac...

medicdave

Thanks Hobie, what I needed to hear...Dave

medicdave

Hey all, just wondering what kind of stregth the USFA lightnings have. I'm not familiar with the locking mechanism on the Colt pumps. I'm looking for a companion to my Ruger 45's and would like to be able to feed it the same loads. (Not crazy heavy, but stout. 325's around 1000 to 1100 fps.) Just wa...

medicdave

Saw a butchered 95 online go for around 500, lot worse than that one. Don't know about switching it over.

medicdave

Congrats, hope some of your luck rubs off, I'm waiting to hear if I get a Maine moose permit on June 1st.

medicdave

Another option is one of the Smith 21's that came out a few years ago if you don't mine the fixed sights. Real world prices are $600 and under if you look around. Have to deal with the lawyer lock though....

medicdave

That does sound very much like Bells Palsy in humans, except its the Facial nerve (cranial nerve 7) that causes Bells Palsy instead of the Trigeminal (cranial nerve 5). Good luck with your pooch, I like my two more than most people.

medicdave

It's all in what exactly your looking for. I have a 39A Golden Mountie that I love to death. It's definantly a traditional levergun, which is what appeals to me. On the other hand I got my Dad a Browning BL22 Grade II for his birthday this year, and with the fancy wood and engraving its a Caddilac o...

medicdave

Excuse me Medicdave, but Chuck, is your '53 a Winchester or Browning. I tried some Remington factory cast loads and wasn't satisfied with the results at all. I haven't slugged the barrel and I'm working on components. It's amazing how individual guns are even in small lots like these Browning 53's....

medicdave

Hey all, last time home I picked up a purty little Browning 53 in 32wcf. I found a box of remington 100gr lfn at one of the local shops to try it out while I was waiting for brass, dies, and a mould to come in because I can't have a new toy and not shoot it lol. So now we've lead up to the issue. Wh...

medicdave

Thats a very good price, from what I've seen. If you don't want it, let me know and I'll get it...Dave
