Thanks Doc for the tip on Fiocchi. Picked it up from Big 5; too busy to load any since starting the new job.

Walker

Keep the commander as a backup

but at least I finally got to the range. Fiocci 45colt cowboy ammo at 7yds, double action.

Walker

Good to hear from you Nath, and sorry about the troubles. Went through a 30 day 'vacation' myself last year, no fun at all.

Walker

1911 Commercial Colt Super 38 (manufactured 1951) that someone accurized and added target sights to. That gun could shoot the heck out of Walmart Winchester white box ammo with the original barrel. Got in a tight spot and it went to pay bills.

Walker

I just can't profit from a friend but it's fun to see what my hunting buddies will come up with to trade; just because I show up in camp with something different most years they think I trade a lot. My 2 closest friends can have anything I've got just by asking, but I agree with Terry. There'd be bo...

Walker

Almost 20 years ago I bought a steel receiver 358 with red dot, stocks stripped and hand rubbed with a pad added that shot boringly small groups off hand. Convinced myself that something else would be better. Oh the money that would have been saved if I'd just kept it.

Walker

You'd need one with small words and pictures for some of my cousins...

Walker

Yeah, it was hard to go back to work today. On another note, I'm 6ft 200lbs, I'd hate to run into the guy that could pocket carry these. Fitzgerald must have been a monster.

Walker

Keeping those folks in my thoughts.

Walker

Got you on my list.

Package arrived from Andy Horvath this morning. 20170314_104216.JPG 20170316_194930(1).JPG These were abused and/or modified when I picked them up. Andy did a brushed blue finish due to the pitting and thinned the trigger guard in the trigger finger side right/left. Ivory micarta grips. 45colt.

Walker

...it ain't hard...

Walker

Very sorry to hear this. I still think of things I wanted to ask my Dad. It's a hard thing to go adjust to, not being able to drop in or pick up the phone and hear his voice. Your family is in my thoughts.

Terry

Walker

Answered better than I would have; always like him.

Walker

You sir have good taste! Hope to hear lots more about those marlins and that 71.

Walker

Had one that lasted though my childhood. It was in the attic when I went away to school and Dad said he gave it to a kid that didn't have much. Hope it's still being enjoyed.

Walker

Dang Nath, I know 'Chicks dig scars' but that appears to be overkill. Glad you're back in the field and thanks for the excellent report.

Walker

My carbine hasn't been shot much and is accurate enough that I'm comfortable with it out to 200 yards if the deer isn't moving.

Walker

Double Trouble! That's awesome, congratulations!

Walker

I remember Grandma's was in the back yard, not the best for her in the winter, and I got in trouble once for shooting her clothes pins off of the line with my BB gun. Should add that it wasn't serious trouble, she was the hunter in her family growing up and could out shoot the rest of us.

Walker

THANKS TO YOU ALL, GENTS !! BEEN OFF THE 'NET SINCE 10/4/16. All is well here on the high plains, been a cold snowy winter but remember: WINTER IS GOOD, it keeps the riff-raff out. And so it goes... With your permission, I'll file that one for later use... and Happy Birthday, not belated as I figur...

Walker

Enjoyed those, thank you!

Walker

Just happened to be sitting with his Shooting Lever Guns of the Old West in front of me while dinner is cooking. My best thoughts for a quick recovery.

Walker

Thanks Guys, it's Winchester from the 1940's, been reblued and needs locking lugs, loading gate, and few more things. I probably should just sell the barrel and get Mike Hunter to make a new barrel set for my old takedown 86. That would get me the configuration I want and top quality work too. Terry

Walker

Guys, looking at that 71 receiver on the gun auction site to hang a new 50-110 barrel from. Is $450 too much considering I'd still have to round up some parts?

Terry

Walker

That's Hornady's abbreviation for Flex Tip bullets. Soft rubber pointed tips allow you to load them in mag tubes and get better ballistics... in theory anyway.

Walker

Hey fellas, Hornady has 25-35 110gr ftx loaded ammo now. Anyone tried it yet?

Walker

Thanks Guys!

Gary, give Cutting Edge a call. They've got a 348 bullet that they can make in copper and they're on the CA Fish & Game list. Https://cuttingedgebullets.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&category=9348. They might have a suggestion on load data for their bullet too. Didn't know about Nor...

Have a good one Jim

Thanks Guys

Follow up on Doc AJ's advice! My wife had a mild case and had long term nerve damage. Keeping you in my thoughts,

Terry

Walker

I lost friends in military service and good friends since then. Dealt with that. My nephew decided one day short of turning 29 that no one could help him. Smart kid, wicked sense of humor, probably the one member of his generation that I really liked being with. I know better than to try to guess wh...

Walker

If you went fishing with my cousin and you forgot lunch, he'd stop on the way and pick up a huge can of vy-enee sausages, sardines packed in mustard and a box of saltines... oh and Mickey's big mouth beer. Always rode home with the windows down.

Walker

yup, particularly with ComicCon this week...

Walker

Keeping you both in my thoughts.

Walker

I've been thinking about you and I wish it was possible to lend you the strength to help get through this. I ask the good Lord to walk wih you in the coming months, to ease your pain and the worries of your family and friends.

Walker

Very glad you had the time with him. I grew up with men like your FIL and miss being around them dearly. Keeping your family in my thoughts.

Terry

Walker

Did the words "Watch this" precede the fireworks

Walker

Thanks Rusty for the tip. Also for the reminder, I need to get a set of those grips for my old model 49. Wonder if crimson trace makes a grip for the old colt agent?

Terry

Walker

It shoulders and points pretty well. The action is a bit dry. It isn't available to run DROS yet, but I'll post range results as soon as I get it. Have to lay in a supply of whatever it will shoot well before the idiot laws take effect Jan 1st. I should have gone back home after getting out of the N...

Walker

Thanks Pete. Looks like they used to do nice work. If Chuck Yeager like his, might have to check this one out.

Walker

Pete, do you know anyone who had one that Rogue River worked on? Just wondering because it only looks like this one was restocked. Trigger's a bit mushy but not awful.

Thanks,

Terry

Walker

Guys, does anyone recognize the stockwork on this Model 88? It's local, .308, with an old Redfield wideview 3x9.

375 winchester... Paco's influence:)

Walker

Yeah, this is in case I'm still here in 2019 when all of California has to go non lead, even on your own private land! I've got a couple of boxes of Barnes X for my model 71, have something that should work from cutting edge for my 33wcf, and have my old commercial mauser covered. If these idiots pa...

Walker

Looks like the OAL would be 2.5" instead of the 2.560" specified on loaddata. How else would it be undersized? Does being non-lead make the difference between it and jacketed bullets that were available for hand loading? Also, does anyone have a reference on how much of the bullet is seate...
