I must have missed your post about shingles.
I not heard of chlorine dioxide as a treatment. What exactly does the C.D. do?
It certainly doesn't seem all that palatable!

GunnyMack

Welcome!
We'll have you buying all kinds of fun stuff!

I could see violently shaking a coffee can full of pins and brass might dent or ding a few cases but in the rotary I can't imaging it happening. Any that might just gets another trip through the size die.

Jim , your XTP on the cow elk answers any and all doubts about how well it will work. When I first got my Henry 41 mag and testing loads I was getting 1800+ fps. I gave thought about the velocity range the pistol bullets were designed for. I called Hornady, Speer and Nosler. Both Hornady and Speer s...

Blue dot too has come and gone in different cartridges too.

I meant Shriners hospital, they seem to have a lot more specialty docs.

GunnyMack

Have mom &dad checked into Childrens Hospital?

For stall mats try a jigsaw, we did a bunch last year for the barn we built and a jigsaw was the best for the mats.

For mice I found cashew butter is great in the bait cup of the new plastic traps. It's so sticky they really can't steal the bait without setting off the trap.

Bill the old time painters usually got cancer of one form or another from all the solvents used with oil paints. I knew one crew of painters that ate pepperoni pizza every day, the pepperoni oil took paint off like thinner with little scrubbing. There used to be a product called Invisible Glove, you...

Yes Bill and it only took me 40 years to think of it!

GunnyMack

That will work perfectly Bill! I had a hand me down bench, it was a 1³/⁴" solid core door top , 4x4 legs and lower shelf. It was ridiculously heavy and I gave it away when I did my loading setup with kitchen cabinets. I've since added pieces of plate steel that is bolted fast and drilled and ta...

I know that my Henry 41 does darn near exactly the same velocities with Lilgun and a 210 jacketed so I feel good about that data anyhow.

I really don't think editors proof read for content, just push it through the spell check and send it to print.

GunnyMack

Nice! In the past I have shot video for other hunters, never tried to self film.

GunnyMack

Ah, didn't realize it had factory swivels, cant see them in your pictures.
Dunno, maybe uberti has something on their site?

GunnyMack

Yes it appears to be true.
My concern is what is China and Russia going to do...

GunnyMack

I saw that too, obviously some 'editor' doesn't have a clue.
However, it's good data!

GunnyMack

I gotcha, just a thought.
Horn is really tough stuff to work, after all it's a buffalos weapons and gotta be durable!

GunnyMack

Malamute you just rattled my memory! While in gunsmith school in Colorado a bunch of us were at the range one night shooting trap. Walking off the line at the end of a round I stopped at the 27 yard line, my shotgun over my left shoulder I drew my K22 and told the trapper to throw me a target. PULL ...

I forgot I made a sling swivel base and silver soldered it to one of the ram rod pipes.
See if this might be to your liking Tom

Kind of more peroid correct I think?

GunnyMack

I dont remember where I got it but I have an all leather sling for my Lyman Great Plains , it has a butt cuff that tightens with laces and the muzzle end just chinches up.

GunnyMack

My first thought is a tubing cutter. Get one of the small ones, some folks refer to them as an IMP. I ran into a bunch of long 7.62x51 brass and even with my powered Hornady prep center/ trimmer took forever to trim .030. Then I found the Little Crow trimmer. Works like a charm but I doubt they make...

Squeaking and squealing, move the part you are filing closer to the vise and or lower.

Is that real buffalo horn?

Mine is a 1953 model, it's older than I am!

GunnyMack

Keep us posted on how it shoots, pictures too!

GunnyMack

You are right Scott! I love mine, I traded for it and won't think of letting it get away!
I did a whole bunch of trigger work to get it smooooooth.

GunnyMack

Who are you trying to kid Tom, you haven't grown up yet!
It's a beautiful rifle, you deserve it!
I'm sure ol JT is happy it went to someone who really appreciates it.

Here they are out of wilderness, too many condos and developments. Not only are we over populated but a new pending record bear was shot this past fall, over 700lbs! Our season is 2 weeks in October, a week for bow only and bow/muzzleloader the other week. Then a week in December, not the ideal time...

GunnyMack

Start by scrubbing the bore, lots of elbow grease. If still dark try JB BORE paste.
Of course shoot it for accuracy, might be surprised it shoots fine even with a dark bore.

If the gun is tight I'd be surprised if the head space is off.

GunnyMack

Time for a full magazine accidental discharge or two. We have lots of bears here, for years the F&G have been trapping and relocating the bears . That just moves to problems to a different town. The townsfolk cant walk their dogs, let kids play outside, garbage cans tossed. They have taken to gu...

GunnyMack

Oh boy I can see it now, Jim and Scott are cahootinizing!

Glad you guys got to spend some time together!

GunnyMack

When checking/setting head space you would strip the bolt, no extractor, no firing pin. Both can give a false head space.
Insert the GO or NO GO or FIELD gauge and close the bolt( lever in the 99). If it closes on the NO GO or FIELD you have excessive head space. Its quite simple to check.

GunnyMack

A couple weeks ago I had an argument with a step ladder, amazing how hard you hit tge ground one step up! It won and I landed on my right side except my tape measure and hammer cushioned that fall! It would have been embarrassing, thankfully it's was pitch black and blowing snow so nobody saw it! Be...

Today is a real nice pot roast Bill. Couple weeks ago a guy in the club disappointed his dog by missing 5 pheasants. He was dejected to say the least. I asked him what was wrong and he said my son is going to be upset with me as he was looking forward to making pheasant noodle soup from todays hunt ...

GunnyMack

Im thinking seriously about SELLING stuff i haven't shot in years. I know I can use the space in my safe... a 24 gun with close to 40 stuffed into it. Yeah, yeah I can hear it now- you need a bigger safe !
Seriously though I cant remember when I last shot my 629 or 44 Carbine and a few others.

GunnyMack

Mine started with a bang, got up this morning, threw on some clothes and out the door to walk the girls. Right into a snow squall. Squinting to see with the wind blowing and I found an icy spot in the yard and BANG down I go! Right hip and elbow are complaining but I'm ok. Of course a blue streak of...

GunnyMack

Have you ever tried a spokeshave?
I just recently purchased one and tinkered with it, my first thought was this would be great for forearms!

GunnyMack

Latest HANDLOADER just showed up, wouldn't you know it- 41 mag data tested in both pistol and carbine!

GunnyMack

Somewhere around here I have the book, Black Elk Speaks. It was given to me and I never got to it. Gotta look for it .

GunnyMack

I looked at mine, yup still a mess!

GunnyMack

I had a feeling someone was going to drop the ball !

GunnyMack

There is a guy by Harrisburg PA that does up to muzzle loader lining jobs. I cant remember his name.
Our Fordwannabe has had a few done. Whenever I can get the time I'm going to take my 92 25-20 to him for a liner.
He cuts his liners in steps so there are shoulders to seat against.

Firewood warms you many times before it ever catches fire! Warms you when you cut it, split it,when you stack it, carry it to the house . We used to keep the Buck Stove going 24/7 in the basement from early November till spring. The really cold spells the Fueago, then a Regency stove on the main flo...

I have used hot melt glue, but a softer material like you used is better for dry fire practice.

GunnyMack

Crown is one thing. 2 piece stocked guns are finicky as to how they shoot from a rest. That being said, hold it on the rest exactly as your would shoot it off hand. Look at the forend cap, is it slammed tight to the barrel? A few file strokes to relieve it can't hurt. As Scott mentioned add some spe...

With 3 Labradors on the bed I wouldn't know if I could get into bed with a holster!

GunnyMack

Just a tad over gunned for pasture poodles but I used a jhp, 110gr from my last '06 before I sold it on the dog towns- no doubt you hit one!

GunnyMack

Nice! Nothing to complain about there.

GunnyMack

That's some really neat family history!
We work on a house that was one of George's secret hiding places. The house/grounds are on the National Historic Registry, not open to the public as it is a private residence.

GunnyMack

Enjoy !
