Looks like that buck damaged his pedicle.

I shot one years ago that must have had a botfly in his rack as the antler grew with a hole and a deformed its growth.

Just one more reason why Ruger needs to know about this. Is it just this batch or every one since?

GunnyMack

Well I'm very glad to see you have it figured out Scott! Jim, did you chase the throat on yours as well? Has any of the people that have done the throat contacted Ruger and explained what was going on and what the fix is? I sure as heck would. Are these barrels hammer forged or are they drilled and ...

GunnyMack

Awesome- congratulations young MAN !

My old shooting coach was a 'bad' influence :lol: He told me when I turned of age to buy by caliber. Get a 22 then get a 243, then a 257 etc. I have done that over the past 40 odd years. Now I cover 17,22,257,7mm,30s,338s,375,450 - what I wanted none are the same makes or models. Buy what YOU want, ...

GunnyMack

Yup, I remember seeing those, I was working in a sportshop as a teenager. There were boxes of them on the shelf but I dont remember ever selling any. It's a matter of barrel twist. You would have to get a barrel made for 30 cal with the proper twist for 55s. Sabot tech has come along, think about mu...

I get a kick out of all these people saying they can't use pennies because they are no longer being minted - they are still legal tender. Until the very last penny is remelted they are currency.

GunnyMack

That'll work fine Jim!

Uh Paul, I'm no math wiz but I think you forgot to carry the 1 or sumthin...

Man it's so nice to be back here! Thanks again for getting us up and running again!

GunnyMack

Again, many thanks to Andy and Paul! About the same as others have written. It been bow season here and I've been trying my best to get one of the many bucks on the farm. Since I haven't posted any pictures it's obvious I have yet to unleash a bolt. Tons of does but no bone. Our bird season opened s...

GunnyMack

Look at CutCo, they made their "DOUBLLE D" edged knives and were very long lasting cutting edge as the actual cutting edge is recessed. They are great for cutting on plates. American made and they used to sharpen for the lifetime. One thing that really irritates me is seeing someone just s...

GunnyMack

By all means tighten the screws before they start falling out!
Very nice group Jim.

GunnyMack

I've seen a few black tailed whitetail. Years ago we had some deer that had a white stripe on the backs of their ears. We never saw them on my buddy's farm until after dark along the roads. The farm im hunting now I've noticed a couple does that have very distinct eyebrows, the coloration is much li...

GunnyMack

It's funny how they KNOW, Saturday morning I did everything I could to sneak into bird season. I put my thumb inside the bell on her collar while the dogs were outside, got the water bottles filled, loaded my vest,ammo,gun and all three knew exactly what was going on. Of course Claro is in full reti...

I gotta admit at first she was acting like a little puppy, no focus -just running around but then she smelled that certain aroma and then it was all business.

GunnyMack

Bill , I've done gouda a couple times but didn't age it. I'll have to try that next time. Now what you need to try is CREAM CHEESE! Use your favorite rub on all sides then freeze it . Smoke it per usual methods. While it's still warm stir it into a spread. Even use a mixer to get some air in it so i...

GunnyMack

Sage's second bird season that is! Yesterday was the opener, we hunted but I neglected to take any pictures! This morning my trusty 'ol reliable ' 20ga Parker, Sage and I took to the fields in less than ideal conditions, damp from fog and squirrly wind and mid 50s. Warmer than i like as the dogs hea...

I knew half of my grandfathers, Dad's side. My Mother's Father was an Englishman that immigrated through Canada. He took my grandmother off the reservation. He had a general store, was a justice of the peace. When my mother was born he was 82, and she has a baby brother!! A village is named after hi...

Chasing the throat will probably cure what ails you Scott.
I look forward to your results!

GunnyMack

Nice to see you are righting the wrongs of these grand ol guns!

GunnyMack

I load 17 Remington, hornet, bee, 223,22-250,25-20, 257AI, 7Mauser, 308,338 federal and Win Mag, 375 H&H,38/357, 40 s&w, 41mag, 44 special and magnum and 450 bushmaster. Then of course 410, 28,20 and 12 ga. Do I have a favorite? Like you Jim, the small cases are a real pain to load, especial...

GunnyMack

That John is a great analogy!!!

GunnyMack

Jim this thread reminds me that I need to track down some large pistol primers and get my lead pot fired up and pour some 41s!

GunnyMack

The big question is
What /why the forum has become such a herky-jerky site after so many years of smooth sailing. Are they trying to figure it out?

GunnyMack

Might be worth doing a chamber cast if you have Cerrosafe on hand. Should give you a better idea of what is going on in the throat.
I would also look at the crown and then relieve the forend cap so it does not touch the barrel.

GunnyMack

Knock wood i only have to sign in about every 3 times I open the forum.
However, painfully slow to open topics if at all. Sometimes I just close the forum and give up.
There is still a gremlin in here somewhere.

GunnyMack

So from last Thursday I have been to the farm everyday but one. I hunted Saturday and Sunday, very little activity. Yesterday I went to do a little housekeeping in the cabin, set up a feeder. In the 4 days I saw exactly 1 buzzard. Im thinking that my bolt with 3 blade mechanical hit in the right spo...

GunnyMack

Thank you Andy and AmBraCol for getting things back to normal!

Though it is still glitchy here...

GunnyMack

Enjoy it guys!

GunnyMack

You rust blued the lever ?
The butt looks great!

GunnyMack

Well I spent 4 hours looking this morning. Probably walked as many miles. I looked high and low, followed the stream up and down stream. Not a buzzard nor crow hanging around. After spending that much time I think my hurried shot just skimmed along the ribs never getting inside, leaving a flesh woun...

GunnyMack

We were getting rain all day. Big front here in the NE but it let up around 3pm. I decided to get in my blind for a few hours. I hardly got in the blind zippered closed before a doe was at 10 yards! A second doe then a little 3 point( barely forked on one side) an he started pestering a doe and they...

GunnyMack

2400 I have, I'll give the data a peek. I've tried 800x, CFEPISTOL, 4227, Lilgun. The Lilgun produced 1800+fps from my Henry with very good accuracy at 50. Of course that's with jacketed bullets.
Thanks Jim.

GunnyMack

Enjoy it!

GunnyMack

I have a very similar if not the same 41 mould, I really need to work up a load with in for my Henry.

Jim, if I might ask - what is your powder of choice?

GunnyMack

Back in the mid 90s a couple buddies and I went to shoot some pigs on one of those high fence places. I took my Ruger Carbine. I was running 300 XTPs. I shot the smallest pig of the day, a cut boar that yeilded 222lbs of meat! I took about a 20 yd shot, through both lungs the bullet went in one side...

GunnyMack

I knew you knew better

GunnyMack

Val, I'm surprised you don't have safe jaws for your vise! 1" copper pipe the length of the jaws, hacksaw that length, bring to red hot and quench in water. You can then peel it at the slice , hold in your vise and fold to shape. They hold parts and no damage. Easy to take off when you need to ...

Our old mailman hit a deer on his Harley, beat him up pretty badly. Couple years ago a guy hit a bear on his Harley, put him in the hospital, killed the bear but his buddies were able to ride the bike back to his house. Honest truth, a buddy of mine, going into the Army decided he was going to kill ...

The very first thing we made in gunsmith school was a polishing rod. 1/4" rod , 6" long +/- .050 filed flat and square on both ends. Then a blob of braze on one end. Then hacksaw a slot . Chuck it in a drill, wrap emery cloth on and polish the chamber. Then we made a T handle version, for ...

Not just us , the Parker Gun Collector forum is also having some issues, specifically membership links

GunnyMack

Today was the first I could get on in a couple days.

GunnyMack

Exactly the responses I was expecting. I have noticed 'neighborhood' deer could care less about scent, sight. One property we used to hunt , 96 acres was surrounded on 3 sides by developments, cars, mowers, doing laundry smells, you name it the deer were used to it. Over the five or six years we hun...

A buddy of mine sent this to me, thought I would share it with you all.

The battery cars are outlawed to use parking garages in Europe due to the fact you cant put the fire out. Around here the volunteer fire departments had to get special training, they put a perimeter around the vehicle and let it burn for the most part. The biggest thing is extreme heat or cold and a...

My G23 1st gen is bone stock other than a 3# connector and it's staying that way. Im with you Doc, I'd never put a switch on mine as it's just silly to full auto something with such minimal capacity. It's still against the law ( unless you are a class III) to produce full auto so instead of terminat...

GunnyMack

Very nice!
I like that take down, bet that would be neat to take out for antelope or deer.

GunnyMack

As much as I hate to say this, it's time someone puts a few of these ' people ' in the ground. They need to learn consequences result from their actions. You want to protest in a peaceful manner, by all means but when you threaten force then the gloves come off! No jail, no courts slapping your wris...

Paul gave me this site last time, www.isitdownrightnow.com The past few mornings, 0600 eastern I try the normal opening of our beloved LEVERGUNS, if it doesn't work I try the above site and it shows the site as DOWN. I just jump to the next puter thing I do daily. I'm hope it's been routine maintena...
