While I lived in SE Colorado attending gumsmiff skool whenever I saw a rattler on the road I'd pull over, walk up to it and whack it right where the head body intersect with a breaker bar. If it was a nasty snake and gave chase before I could hit it then I would give it a shot load from my blackhawk...

The dog is still SMARTER then a HRC supporter!

GunnyMack

Hey! I just remembered a model 70 (post64) 308 collecting dust... Maybe time for a rebarrel, new stock and glass instead of buying new!

GunnyMack

Well, I'm closer to 50 then 40, so I still an not sure what I am... I think like a kid but feel like I'm old( some days) I really like the Ruger, but do I NEED it? Not really. I do like the 6.5 Creedmore though. Not a big fan of 9mm, but an AR carbine could be a bunch of fun. Another Henry could be ...

GunnyMack

RIP Mike.

GunnyMack

So I'm on the fence as to how to celebrate our WIN.
Of course this means I have to buy a gun, but what...
Was thinking about another Henry. Maybe a 357.
Or a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmore
Or a 9mm AR carbine from PSA...
I just can't decide so let's have another vote!

GunnyMack

Aren't we all family now? I'm sure we could divvy it and all be happy?
I've been loading 308, cfe223 goes fast with 50 gr in each case!
LilGun I use in my Hornet,Bee, 41 mag, 450 Bushmaster and want to try in my 28 gauge.

GunnyMack

Last week I ordered 8# of cfe223 and 8# of Lilgun in prep for the rush of buyers due to the election going the WRONG way!
Well we know now how the election has gone the RIGHT WAY, boy I'm thankful!!!

GunnyMack

Now that the Witch is NOT going to the WHITEHOUSE, the log in problems are from wiki leaks and or the Russians hacking Leverguns! Hahahaha.

GunnyMack

Got this text message today that was the word TRUMP spelled out in American Flags!!
Just watched HER speak on FOX NEWS, lies lies lies.
I sure hope Justice Ginsberg has her plane ticket to New Zealand!!
All the other Hollywood morons need to throw themselves into the sea like the lemmings they are!!

GunnyMack

A line from The Wizard of Oz keeps going through my head-
Ding dong the witch is dead, the wicked witch...

GunnyMack

I could not bring myself to watch any news yesterday. I am just dumbfounded and so relieved this morning!
I am going to celebrate OUR VICTORY for sure- but what to buy?
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!
God bless!

GunnyMack

I'm with you 1894!!!

GunnyMack

I'm not too much with plastic stocks, look at the laminates. They are stable, better weather resistant and some cool factor to them. '06 is a great round, every rifle I have had or tried in '06 beats the snot out of me. I can shoot my .338 Win Mag from the bench all day and not feel like I would wit...

GunnyMack

I hit my polling place at 0645 this morning. The parking lot was jammed, the lines were weaving around the building. Seemed like everyone was in a good mood.
Then one of the ballot machines stopped working! Few minutes and back in business!
I was #38 in my district.

GunnyMack

Ok, I'm not quite as experienced as you fella's, but I can remember everyone learning to drive a car with a clutch! I won't own a car with an auto trans! I remember if you ( I) lost self control, acted up, didn't pay attention, showed elders respect, etc there was H€!! to pay from your folks. I'm si...

Around the time of the last election I picked up a bunch of 7.62x51 brass. Thought I would have learned from the many 5.56 brass I got prior! Come to find out that military 7.62 chambers are rather long, each case long by .020-.040". Talk about labor! Took forever to trim all of these! I starte...

GunnyMack

Well Joe my thoughts aren't much help then. I tried... Hope you get it figured out!

GunnyMack

Right church wrong pew!

Actually this is my home made .17 case trimmer.

The threaded rod is drill rod, broken de capping pin centers the hand cut cutter head. This could work on any case, just need a pilot of correct dia.
Thankfully the 17 rem doesn't stretch much!

GunnyMack

Can anyone identify this tool?

GunnyMack

I'm thinking, which sometimes works, is yes your pen is plated AND has a lacquer finish. The lacquer is failing causing the discoloration.
Can you feel where the 2 colors meet?

GunnyMack

How is that 17 Hornet for fouling? I have a 700 in 17 Remington & I can tell when it's getting fouled, bug hole groups get bigger.

GunnyMack

Gold does not tarnish- EVER! Me thinks it might be brass or the gold plating has worn off. Greatest thing for polishing is FLITZ. works fast, very safe, even for food grade cutlery. It's available in squeeze tubes to quarts. FLITZ leaves no residue and helps fend off oxidation. After you get it poli...

GunnyMack

Ah-ha! Great leg work JohnDe! I hope they bring you great accuracy & lots of meat( outside the condor zone ) !

I can remember seeing this style box years ago. Where, I couldn't tell you. Never knew the history on them. Since I don't have a 270 I didn't bother doing any research.

GunnyMack

Don't know if Howa makes one in wood stock but Boyd's might have a laminate for it.

GunnyMack

I too have been watching the reports on the WSM, I hadn't considered buying one just because the accuracy results aren't what I think they should be. But it's encouraging to hear that yours is getting better!

Shoot more groups & keep us posted!

GunnyMack

Thanks Blaine!
I'm happy with my 41, but figure if I have my 44 wheel gun/ ruger carbine, my 41 blackhawk/Henry or my 357 & a Henry I have enough combos to cover just about anything!

GunnyMack

So I'm thinking about another Henry.
I have a Steel Big Boy in 41. A Ruger Carbine in 44 mag.
I need another 22(lr or mag) like a hole in the head.
Does anyone have a 357 ? How do you like it?

GunnyMack

Haven't shot one but since I like the little cartridges( Bee is my favorite) I always read the articles on the TCM. I can say that from the rifle it's not terribly accurate. What I mean is I'm sure there is room for improvement by working on the gun but I'm not that impressed by it. My Bee will do t...

GunnyMack

All good points gents, one thing I could add is with the big set from Brownells if an odd screw is encountered you have a selection to choose from and fit a tip. I have reshaped many of my tips so they work better. But on the same token I have made many of my own turnscrews( the English way). Quite ...

GunnyMack

When they show up during daylight I sneak the upstairs window open and toss a pack of fire crackers, only problem is I don't get to the bears reaction since the roof is in the way. Then once they run off I go out and shoot bottle rockets towards them.

GunnyMack

One of my best buddies while in smith school had a vhs copy of Jerimiah Johnson. The whole dorm would pile into a 12x15 room and watch it almost every night. My buddy knew it line by line and will still recite the dialogue today on cue. If you haven't seen it all the way through you NEED to. Elk don...

GunnyMack

Now that the sun is up, only 1 feeder is wrecked. Just have to rehang the others.

GunnyMack

Ah Saturday morning, 5:30 am and out the door to walk 'the girls'. I walk into the 3/16 coated cable that carries my bird feeders. Turn of my flashlight to find a mess! I knew we had a big bear in the area but I didn't think it was big enough to get my feeders this time! It destroyed one of the feed...

GunnyMack

Email from Henry today, listing the original Henry style, long barrel and carbine models. Also had the 24" .22 with octagon barrels- READY FOR SHIPPING.

GunnyMack

I should had clarified the ' not shoot hollow points UNDERWATER! Sorry about that, my mind got ahead of my fingers while typing...

GunnyMack

One guy I was at Gunsmith school with had a '92 in 38/40. He claimed his grandfather found it somewhere in northern Colorado. The gun was in decent shape. He decided to refinish it!! All of us just shook our heads in disbelief!

GunnyMack

I saw that Remington has announced a new 10mm long slide in their RP 1911.

GunnyMack

NICE BUCK! Congrats on your first lever gun 'harvest'( have never liked that term). People are too magnum crazy- velocity crazy, what have you. Buddy of mine years ago shot a cow elk at about 175-200 with cast 40-65 hand load, went clean through and she dropped in less then 50 yards. Slow but deadly...

GunnyMack

I too emailed Henry, asked about a 25-29/ 32-20 model. Mr Imperato did reply but not a yes or no answer... Maybe that will get him thinking.

GunnyMack

I would buy a Kimber, then either a Springfield or Ruger.

But I would suggest( as I do whenever someone asks me what to buy) have this fine young man go to an indoor range that rents guns, have him try as many 1911's as possible, then he can form his own opinion.

GunnyMack

You made a good choice. Many people hate Glocks, but many more love them. I bought my G23 back in '91. The finish has worn off, but still works flawlessly. I have shot mine underwater, no need for the striker spring cups to be changed. Feeds and cycles no problem. JUST DONT USE CAST OR HOLLOW POINTS...

GunnyMack

Spider killing mice- time to load up some 44 shot shells!

GunnyMack

There was an old timer round these parts that was half 'smith, half retailer, half gun dealer, he worked out of his house. His Desk was covered in gun parts, walls were covered in guns for sale/ repair and supplies, his kitchen was set up for reloading. He had a couple of shotgun presses bolted to t...

GunnyMack

Order a new one, then take both to a local machine shop that has a hardness tester, compare both. Chances are the pawl is/was case hardened or surface hardened. You could hardest the new one by yourself. Brownells has a product called casenite. Only problem is how to hold it to bring it to red heat,...

GunnyMack

I hope they weren't honey bees!?
Wasps,hornets, yellow jackets - blast em to kingdom come!

GunnyMack

I once heard Glock had a Mod 19 that was test fired A LOT! Something like a 1000 a day, day in & day out for a long time, think the only thing they really had trouble with was extractors breaking.

I know my G23 has been through the wringer!

GunnyMack

24 hours later and Claro is doing fine! I wonder how well the BugSalt will work on stink bugs ? My black lab ( Winnie, Claro's mom) like to eat the stink bug then she has to share by panting in your face! I don't mind dog breath but when ode de stink bug is mixed in YUCK! While I was living in CO, o...

GunnyMack

Could be just a simple matter of wrong/ odd angles on lifter. Could replace the fussy lifter and have your smith shape and polish it the same as your cowboy gun. My Henry isn't fond of slow in vertical but works fine slow at horizontal. Don't have a lot of ammo thru it yet so still feeling it out th...

With 3 labradors I really don't want skunks hanging around. I had a Jack Russell years ago that would kill skunks, 3 confirmed and he never got sprayed. He would hunt anything on 4 legs! Cats were not safe, ground hogs, squirrels, chipmunks opossum... You get the idea. One day this little 15 lbs ter...
