Nath, what kind of gun is that on the fourth picture down with the rabbit? It looks to have a really long barrel. As for the woodcock, they're speedy little buggers, aren't they. Kinda' like a hummingbird on steroids!! Good shootin".

It doesn't look like that one will get broken any time soon. STURDY.! Very nice.

I bought this first model Hamilton #7 from a guy that said he found it setting in or by a tree while he was hunting in Illinois. He thought it might be his uncles or great uncles. I wrote down the history, but I can't find it in my book right at the moment. The second gun is a Hamilton #15 The botto...

Good on you and the missus. Never owned one myself, but a friend of mine had one and I loved it. It shot where you aimed it. I had a stainless Taurus 92 and the same time and it shot where it where it wanted to. No comparison. I like the old ones, but they are hard to find and spendy when you do. Gr...

Daisyman

Thanks to all of you for the valuable information and compliments. Malamute, I understand exactly what you're saying now. I think the movement I saw in the center might be the threaded part of the firing pin extension moving ever so slightly in the bolt face, and it is just a rim fire type. I had al...

Daisyman

You know, I'd have to agree with you. I can't tell if the center is moving or not, and you're right, it really looks too flat to be a firing pin. I can't see good enough to tell. :roll: If you try Googling " Winchester 1866 parts schematic" all the ones that come up shows a single firing p...

Daisyman

The parts appear to be all there. It's hard to tell and I haven't exactly figured out how it works but it appears both of the firing pins move when I operate the lever slightly with it all the way open. I've looked at all the schematics I can find, but they're of the earlier guns and they have the f...

Thank you all for the nice comments and the good advice. I'll take a look at Buffalo Arms after Christmas.

Daisyman

I can't get the pictures to post from Photobucket without linking to the whole album(s). There's a whole bunch of unrelated pictures on there I don't reckon everybody is interested in. I'll try again tomorrow or the next day. Anyone know how to post just the ones you want?

Thanks.

Daisyman

I'm really sorry to hear that! But it could be worse.......you COULD live here in IOWA where we are inundated with political candidates for months.

How close is the 44 Colt cartridge in rim, base and neck? My 1st thought also. But it uses a heeled .451 bullet. Body is too fat, rim too small. The 44 Colt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.44_Colt Base diameter: .456 in (11.6 mm) Rim diameter: .483 in (12.3 mm) Case length: 1.10 in (28 mm) Overall ...

Daisyman

According to page 563 of the Handloader's Manual of Cartridge Conversions, the .44Sp/Russian case is too large in diameter at the head and therefore recommends that the .220 Swift case be cut and trimmed to length (.88"), and inside reamed. It is listed with a bullet diameter of .423". Ah...

I have an original 1866 Winchester carbine made in 1877. A few of the late ones like mine had a dual firing pin for use with the .44 Henry flat and the .44 Henry center fire. At one time I had a .44 Henry flat and I put it up so as not to lose it and haven't seen it since!! :oops: I wanted to measu...

Congratulations! Now you have an excuse to start shopping for his lever guns. Well I dunno ! I was thinking more of a nice little 243 or 260 bolt action . But I need to build a left handed Remington 700 in 260 for the little mans grandma before I get one for him . Now if the little one turns out to...

No, but as soon as the swelling goes down you'll be able to see the calendar!

This is my first time for this story. Kinda puts things in perspective, doesn't it? We think we got it bad till we see someone else with much greater problems than ours.
Thanks, Irv

Nice song Rusty, my good friend's cousin was a soldier in WW2 Henry Schauer awarded the MOH, wounded more than once, for saving his company by taking out several german snipers with a BAR. His parents moved out west from germany prior to WW1. Henry was a crack shot. RIP Henry. danny http://www.home...

It's just a little splinter.....Yikes! Anyone that has been horned by a catfish can vouch for how much that hurts. A friend of mine caught a flathead and was wrestling with him and got spurred in the calf about 2" deep!! Took a long time to heal>

I've been giggling through this whole thread. Like you said, you just can't make this stuff up!! I used to shoot grasshoppers off the fence with my Daisy 107. It was always a bonus to get a pair mating! Feel kind of guilty about it now.

Daisyman

A really great story!! I'm glad you got it back under extraordinary circumstances. I have my grandfathers 67 that my dad bought on his dad's farm sale. I got a lot of grinnies with it on the farm as a youngster. Pop got in trouble with it many years after he moved to town by shooting a rabbit out of...

Good shooting. It looks like those barrels would have been halfway there for the shot.

Are those 32" ers?

Definitely a Hori Hori knife used by Japanese gardeners as well as for foraging wild vegetables in the mountains. I usually carry mine when in the forest usually to dig up wild bamboo shoots. I french-whipped the handle using tarred marline twine for better grip in wet conditions. http://img.photob...

. That's sure a LOT of Hasenpfeffer in the makin', there ! Most rabbits hereabouts are living in close proximity to houses/etc - too dangerous, and illegal (here), to shoot.

Good shootin!! :mrgreen: That's a lot of bunnies!! We have a lot of cottontails here in southern Iowa for a change. All of our game is starting to increase some.

My FIL was in Pearl Harbor, I'm thinking on the Arizona, but not sure anymore. Made it through the war, got home and raised a family, but brought home something with him that got him at 63......forty years of Camel straights started during the war. Lung cancer.....a really nice guy, too. So sad.

Daisyman

That front sight is pretty close, but does it look just a little bit longer? I don't know how to put a picture of the one for sale on here for a comparison. Here's mine. That is a pretty nice rifle. It's about got to be cut, but they did a good job of it from what I can see here. http://i376.photobu...

My wife and I were on a sightseeing ride last week and we went past this house out in the country and take a look at what was setting on the porch! A pair of wild turkeys. We stopped and sat there for a bit and they walked back and forth and looked in the windows. They must have raised them but it w...

Ain't that the truth!!

Would Hori Hori be Japanese or something Asian? Update;; I looked up Hori Hori on Google and sure enough there it was, a Japanese gardening tool. I've had this thing for years and was told that it was a tool for putting in land mines or digging them up, (yikes) (I guess it could have been) but no on...

Great photo and rifle. Of all the deer I took with my 71 Win, I never took a photo of any of them or myself with the rifle. Kinda regret that now. It would have been nice to see how I would have looked back them to show the grandkids.

I've got a knife? that I would like to identify. I've been told a few things they THOUGHT it might be, but I wanted you fellers opinion about it. What say you? The OAL is 11.375", blade is 6.375", width of blade is 1.75", and about .125" thick. No numbers or name. Irv http://i376...
