I have a dear friend that is retired from the GM Moraine plant near Dayton, Ohio, which is closed down now BTW, who told me about a female employee that worked near him. This gal worked in a tool crib. The only thing she did was hand out air tools to the workers. She actually worked about 1-3 hours ...

Wow guys, I am staring to see where "used " might be something to look at. But, I drove a used F 150 the other day, an '06 model. It had an unusual odor inside and the GF found that the owners manual was moldy and wrinkled like it had been soaking wet at one time. I found some mud inside t...

Thunder 50, it is very hard to compare diesel trucks with gas trucks, sorta different animals. The Cummins diesel in the Dodge seems great, but the rest of the truck falls apart around it. I do not know why you had to replace the tires so early. My Tacoma got 65k on the original Firestones and I now...

dennie

Wow, what a variety of answers! Seems like Ford is getting more pluses than the others. The main drawback on the Ford is the gas mileage. The 5.4 is only rated 14/19, but I am hearing from local owners that they get 9-12 mpg around town. Ouch! My son bought a new Dodge "Hemi" in '04. Nice ...

Anyone here besides me thinking of buying a new pick-em-up? I have been driving a '99 Tacoma for nearly 10 years and want to get a new truck, something that at least sounds more American. The Tacoma has been nearly trouble free in 137k miles but I am wanting a full size with more comfort and more to...

dennie

Streetstar, The only experience I have had with the Gaucho was not good. I bought a stainless one, used, from a friend of a friend. I could not pass up the great look and feel of the gun and it's slick action. Soon after buying it I was noticing that something was wrong when I loaded rounds into it....

dennie

Thanx hammerman, if I find one under 7 bills it will prolly come home to my place!

dennie

I bought it for the good review in Guns Of The Old West magazine. Now I remember why I quit buying magazines! Griff, not to worry, the sleeping part had to be better than the watching part! I blew 20 bucks on this one. Ed Harris and Renee Zellwigger, sooooooo bad! OOPs, can't find the little "u...

dennie

Cool stuff seeing how others got started! I admit that very limited hunting was done in my family. Grandpa would shoot a rabbit once in a while to eat. Several times he would have me hold a burlap sack over the end of a pipe that he put in a ditch so he could drive over it behind the barn. He would ...

dennie

I remember well my Grandpa showing me an old Winchester M1890 that he had used for years and years. He was born in 1896 so it was a pretty new piece when he bought it used. It was chambered for .22Shorts only if I recall. What a sweet old rifle to handle! It was a takedown and i remember the bullets...

Rusty
I went back to the USFA site and the price I quoted was from a Sept./08 news release.
The current price is as you stated. Bummer.

dennie

Rusty, It did say special price when I was there. That didn't last long,huh? :roll: I have a stainless Super Single Six .22LR/.22mag, and it is nice, but it is not a SAA size. It does feel a whole lot better tho since I put the fake ivory grips from my original Vaquero on it! I was shocked to find t...

dennie

Thanx for the pics of the 649. My CRS says I have not seen one of these! How does the .22mag shoot in it?

dennie

Bear 45/70, I hear what you are saying about the cost, they are pricey. My Colt SAA 3rd gen is the only gun I have that I gave more than this for, but I just had to have it, and have no regrets. What is the H&R 649? I don't think I ever saw one. I love cheap .22s that work also. I have a Remingt...

dennie

Bear 45/70, You are probably correct on getting 8 of the H&Rs for the same money. Problem is, i have no way to carry 8 revolvers comfortably! :lol: I have only shot 2 H&R revolvers in my time, and they seemed OK, just never did much for me. I believe they sold them at Sears when I was a pup....

dennie

Have any of you seen/handled/shot the new USFA 12/22 revolver? I was checking it out a little bit ago and it sure looks neat! 8) I know it is pretty expensive for a .22 pistol, but the cool factor is very high! :D Seems I may be shooting a lot more .22s now that components for the bigger calibers ke...

dennie

I have found that most Winchester ammo works pretty well in my guns, the Remingtons are kinda iffy. I recently bought a brick of Peter's 40gr solids. They were about $9.00 for the brick. I had not seen any Peter's ammo in many years. Now I know why, they are just flat lousy! There are many rounds th...

dennie

I was in the local Wal-Mart about an hour ago in Hamilton, Ohio. They bad plenty of Fed and Rem bulk packs, and a good supply of CCI .22s. I did not see any Winchester on the shelf. They are very thin on 9mm and .45ACP, and .30-30 is gone. This is not a hot bed for hunting but I have not seen any .3...

dennie

66GTO, I will look for Livin' On The Other Side, nobody does BG gospel any better! Something I always seemed to like about bluegrass folks is that most are just common people. They will actually thank you for compliments, talk to you like they appreciate you coming to see them, and sometimes show yo...

dennie

I've been a bluegrass fan for over 50 years myself, and like all the folks that have been mentioned. When you get the chance also check out the Country Gentlemen from back around 1959-60, back when John Duffy, Eddy Adcock, and Charlie Waller first started. Someone already mentioned Doyle Lawson &...

dennie

I bought one new a few years ago at a place called Afield. It is the Packer model with 20" bbl, dayglo front sight, and about a 3/4 length magazine. You being from Cincy you may know where it is, near Cleves. I gave a little over $500 for it at the time. I have only shot about 100 rounds thru i...

dennie

I have a M-N 44 and am wondering how you get the safety off for a quick shot, when needed. I am not a small or weak fella, but jeez, that safety must be the worst on just about any rifle. Could carry with an empty chamber, I guess, and just crank in a round when needed. That would seem faster to me ...

dennie

Years ago my Sis lived on a farm. There was a creek bed that ran thru the back field. The creek must have been close to one hundred feet below the top of the hill above it. In the winter time water would ooze out of the sides of this ravine and make the longest, prettiest, and temptingous, ice cycle...

Happy Birthday Paco! May our good Lord bless you and yours!

PS, thanx for this great forum!

I have never used a leather cuff, butt :P , my experiences with the nylon ones are not good. Unless you nail, staple, glue, tape, etc., them to the stock, which I cannot bring myself to do, they will not be there when you need them. Also, the ones I have never fit the gunstock and are just plain &qu...

dennie

Thanx all . Think I will be talking to Brownells soon.

Be nice to know what I have loaded is actually doing!

dennie

I just looked at the Brownell's catalog again and find that none of the chronos they offer have a remote listed. It sounds like a great idea to have this feature.
Thanx for the replys. Think I will check out Midway USA and see what they have.

dennie

I have been thinking it is about time to get a chrono. I do not reload a lot of ammo, but it would be nice to know what I am getting when I do. Last week I sent an order to Brownells and while looking thru their catalog I saw a couple of chronos that they offer. They have the Competition Electronics...

I am no expert on anything.
I am not PC.
I have little to say that others want to hear.
I am really not sure where, or what, Illinois is.

But I am stayin' whithya!

dennie

Hobie, you are right, they have gotten a lot from me over the years. I still kick in a little now and then, so they keep sendin'.
Thank you for becoming a life member!

dennie

Bought a Chinese copy of the Win. M97 recently. I bought it from Aim Surplus. (aimsurplus.com) I have done business with Aim for a few years and recommend them. Anyhoo, I am still thinking of getting into CAS and needed a shotgun. These seem to be a good gun for the money. Aim was selling what they ...

dennie

I do understand that it takes money , and lots of it, to do most anything. I just cannot figure out sometimes if I am just supporting the USPS.
Thanx for the replies.

dennie

Just received my Benefactor credentials from the NRA. In the same pile of mail was another envelope from the NRA requesting more money for something else. :( I know the NRA is our best ally, but jeez. A few years ago I sent the minimum then of $15 to support the USA Shooting Team. I received a patch...

dennie

Many many years ago I accidentally saw my mother-in-law naked. Kinda the same thought here.

Don't think I would want to see one every day.

dennie

Very good article Jeff. And since then we had the Katrina fiasco where even our own government turned out to be the enemy for a lotta good folks! Trust no one. I have yet to get an EBR, but the time seems to be nearing. Just hoping I do not commit the greatest sin of all and sell a lever gun to pay ...

dennie

Hamil-tucky to us natives, Hamilton, Ohio to those less fortunate.

dennie

I remember several years ago when they sold long guns. They would also put out a neat little magazine on hunting and fishing sometime in the fall. Sorry to say, but all that is gone now. I stopped today on the way home from work to see if I could find more bargains. Other than several boxes of deer ...

dennie

GF asked if I wanted to go grocery shopping today. Uh well, well maybe, we'll see, the usual answer she gets. I love to grocery shop don't ya know. :wink: Well, we went to the local Meijer's store here in town. While she shopped for grub I went another direction. I looked for sales in the sporting g...

Hey Shooter, what other interesting things have you people from Roswell,NM seen, or think you've seen, or talked to people that think they might have seen? :lol: :lol: And BTW, what a great true story by u.e! :wink: Oops, gotta go now, something huge going thru the front yard heading in the directio...

Yesterday I bought 500 of the 230 gr.LRN bullets from a store in Cincinnati to use in my bottom feeders. When I started reloading 2 years ago these bullets cost $18, yesterday they were $32! This store has a reputation for gouging their customers, but I needed them. Keep saying to myself that I will...

dennie

Boge, yep, played for several years in a local band in SW Ohio. We were very fortunate to get to open shows for Doc and Merle Watson, J.D. Crow & The New South, Ralph Stanley, and Mike Reed, the former Bengals player who wrote hits for Ronnie Milsap. This was when Keith Whitley sang lead for J.D...

dennie

Boge, great looking geetar ya got there. Hope she sounds as good as she looks. Do you play in a group/solo? Hope you enjoy it greatly! :D :D All I have at the moment is an old 1977 D28, a 1976 Gibson F-5 mandolin, and a recent Ovation electric/acoustic mandolin, all bought new. Kinda makin' we want ...

dennie

bigpappa, welcome aboard! I have a NA '92 short rifle with 20" octagon barrel in .45colt. I love it! Cannot help you with the .44-40 part, but TERRY PRETTY MUCH COVERED IT!

Hope all have a great, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

dennie

There is a Meijer's store near me that has 3 boxes on the shelf. They have been in the "mark down" bin for prolly over 2 years. They are Remingtons, but that is all I know about them. This store is in Hamilton, Ohio if you get this way.

dennie

I know it is a little early, but I want to wish Paco and all the members here a Merry Christmas! I am so glad to have a place like this to visit every day, even tho I lurk most of the time. I am kinda wishing for a Marlin 1894C, a pair of Remington 1890s, or maybe a Ruger SP 101 in .357 under the tr...
