I was fishing around for non-lead 375 bullets for my 94BB and came across Cutting Edge's .375 200gr HP handgun bullet. https://cuttingedgebullets.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=HGHP_375_200. Bullet Diameter : .375" Bullet Weight : 200 grains Retained Weight : 150 grains Bullet L...

I never used to think so, wear a size large glove. I even shifted my grip so the trigger would rest in the crease of the 1st joint, but it didn't seem to make a difference. We never had much use for handguns growing up, so I'm relatively late in learning trigger control and how the grip can affect p...

Got my new progressive glasses and headed to the local indoor range with 44spl Black Hills 210gr and Winchester 246gr. This was just at 7 yards with a 6 o'clock hold, top of the front sight even with the top of the v-notch... 5 rounds of 210gr and 15 rounds of 246gr fired. ea4b6eca-9dd1-40be-9dd0-b9...

Well, I don't have a pistol cartridge 92 at the moment... might as well get something that will go with my old flattop 44 and maybe my 44 specials if it'll cycle them. I liked Docs night scout setups. Might do something similiar with a pearson no drill mount. Already have an unused fastfire II and l...

Walker

Well, the bluing is close to perfect, the bore looks like a mirror, and the stocks look like the kids played cowboys and indians all summer with it. They're holding it for a week since it can't be sold for 30 days anyway. Since I'm more left eye dominant these days, thinking about mounting a fastfir...

Walker

Thanks guys, I'm heading over to take a another look at it.

Walker

The local shop has one for 449. Outside has seen a lot of use but bore and action are still good.

Thanks guys,

Terry

Walker

Just amazing!

Walker

I am so sorry Jim.

Walker

Nice! I was shooting with my old readers on; my regular glasses are in the shop. With black hills ammo it's hitting about 4in high at 15ft. I'm rounding up dies and bullets before our Lt Gov. finds a way to register those.

Walker

...hard to get a good sight picture on them :lol: Finally got to the range with that 44 special colt. 20160315_162048.JPG Won't bore you with the lousy shooting, it just reminded me why you don't try to shoot a red target on a black background, even for fun. Finally turned the target over to the whi...

Walker

^exactly that, just didn't put it into the right words. For some reason, I'm very accurate with that grip without thought.

Walker

Did anyone see my Officer's Model Match? Yes Sir! I like that Officer Model. I never had one, but had a S&W pre-war Model 1905 4th change target. Let Dad take that one home. The side plate over the slide serations was for folks who used the thumbs up grip instead of thumbs forward. Kept their g...

Walker

Sorry Guys, it didn't even cross my mind about the first officers model. We don't see them that often here, but feel free to throw in some pics

Walker

I'm a 1911 guy. I've owned Sigs, high-powers, and a few other DA autos and keep coming back to the 1911 because it puts that first round where I need it right now. We recently moved and are getting used to the neighborhood sounds, so when my wife called me from the back of the house to check out a h...

Walker

Yes Sir, closed toe holster for certain. Leaning toward an El Paso crossdraw in a Slim Jim or Threepersons. Also like the Dan Mayer version of the Threepersons just because it can be worn crossdraw or strongside.

Thanks! I'll add you to the list.

Walker

Considering how scarce the 1st gens with these markings were I still wonder how someone found a takeoff barrel. The surprising thing is that rock island auctions showed another one like this that was a rebarrel. Makes me think the longer barrels weren't popular and we're pulled before they became va...

Walker

I've been using one of their cattleman holsters for my shorter colt. Not sure how the pancake would be with a 7.5 in barrel.

Walker

Thanks guys. My field holsters get pretty scratched up going cross country in the mojave. The El Paso slim jim might be the best for that kind of use but I was looking at the Longhorn Companion from Barranti too.

Walker

Mom's side is Irish and Dad's Scots Irish and I've never started a fight, unless you count marriage...

Walker

Hey Griff, is that holster at an angle where you can sit with the long barrels?

Walker

I'd say that you're more of a seasoned skeptic, and that's a good thing. Hopefully we'll have enough like you to keep Hillary out of the White House.

Walker

My local shop bought a colt this week and I happened to be there when the manager was showing it to someone. Thankfully that guy passed on it and it'll be coming home with me. Now I need to find a holster that will be comfortable walking and sitting; since I'll be slinging a rifle part time it also ...

Reading the hunting magazines at our smalltown barbershop led to the acquisition of an early LC Smith 12ga, a Fox Sterlingworth 16ga, a 257 roberts custom Winchester model 54, and a Winchester model 71 Short Rifle.

Walker

It must have been wonderful to have your father for so long. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. Thoughts are with you Chuck and your family.

Walker

That's the way to do it! Happy Birthday!

Walker

Didn't see Ride the High Country listed. An early Peckinpah film featuring Randolph Scott in his last movie and Joel McCrea.

Walker

Nicely done, and thanks Gunny for your dedication.

Walker

Hey Doc, looks like Denis might have asked for it to be closed.

Walker

Thanks! Got an early Para P14 that will have to do until we escape San Diego. Sure hate the 10rd mags.

Walker

Interesting Doc, what's that symbol on your slide?

Walker

Oh man, so sad to hear this.

Walker

Sorry Nath, that had to be hard even though you knew it was coming.

Walker

I hadn't considered the balance, thanks!

Walker

Guys,

I've been digging through my older articles on the 71 and I can't find any reason that the carbine didn't sell, other than it just wasn't popular. Does anyone have any period information on why the longer barrels were so popular?

Thanks,

Terry

Walker

I spoke with the seller and let him know that the mods were not factory, including the sling mounts. It belonged to his father, inherited 30 years ago. I would think a fair price should have been around 2800, but I've got a lot of poor farmer heritage backing that opinion. Also agree on the changes ...

Walker

Hope it's one to remember!

Walker

And peace to those close to him.

Walker

Guys, I've always heard that the winchester 71 carbine wasn't popular. That hasn't stopped an unreasonable itch for an original one though. All modifications considered, what is your opinion of this early std carbine and its asking price? http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/...

Walker

Has to be cut.

Walker

Well, now I've seen everything...

Winchester 94 in 30wcf like my Dad's. I've got it now, but I have to say though that my 94 src in 25-35 is more fun. Didn't get a rifle of my own until I was married and in my 30's. Figure the M-14 doesn't count.

Walker

That's a nice find! The side tapped could come in handy later down the road too.

Walker

This a fine group but I miss Mike too.

Walker

Boy that looks like a fun shooter, hope you get it!

Walker

Thanks, appreciate your observations guys,

Terry

Walker

Good to know. I don't know what our local shop is using as a reference to come up with theirs.

Walker

^Ha! Almost lost my cold beverage.

It IS pretty nice.

Walker

Local shop has used a example of each in pretty decent shape. However they're pricing the 95 src 30-06 @1700 and the 86 src @1650. What prices are you fellows seeing in your areas? Just seems high for browning/miroku.

Hope your day has gone well.
