I can say this Doc, the human animal is not what we once were, case in point my mother's father was 82 in 1941 when mom was born and she has a little brother! He married my grandmother when she was 19ish( not really good records on the reservation). All the junk food we eat probably doesn't help wit...

Looking much better groups now.
Those rubber are pachmeyers? Got a set of those on my 629.
Strange how you shoot the wood stocks better, probably fill your hand more.

GunnyMack

Kinda the same in the canine world, used to be you spayed/neutered at 6-10mo of age. Science has found that altered dogs have higher cancer rates, more prone to ACL tears, etc. More recently brought to my attention that even removing dew claws on new born pups can be detrimental in later life. Howev...

Barrel cylinder gap tight? Timing is good? Re cut the crown?
I know stainless steel barrels can be accurate but sometimes I think stainless barrels just don't have 'it'
How many rounds through it? Maybe just needs to be broken in?
Just spitballing here Scott.

GunnyMack

No , sorry Bill I didn't win a lottery. I was giving my neighbor a hand this morning, he has these hanging on the wall in his kitchen! The 25-20 is singing a siren song to me... 1910 manufacture. I had to put a tape measure on the barrel as it appears SHORTER than 16". This guy is an old west c...

A 92 in 25-20, take down, factory checkered, 16.5" , shotgun butt WITH a darn good looking bore! A 73 44-40, sewer pipe with dust cover A 73 32-20 octagon with good looking bore A 92 octagon in I believe 38-40, no caliber marking( gun is rough!) A 94 30WCF , good bore but no finish on metal, wo...

It's working on this side Bill !

Thanks Bill!

Just got my first smoker, was brand new to a friend and he took it out of the box and assembled it then decided he lost all interest in smoking food... offered it to me for half of what he gave for it. So last weekend I did a pork butt 20240525_191851.jpg After 12.5 hours I pulled it apart for pulle...

GunnyMack

Ah ok, you are going to shorten. Then it makes sense to cut the mag tube.
Guess you won't know what the capacity will be until you have the work done.
It could be that the spring Henry uses is thicker dia wire taking up the space in the tube.

GunnyMack

Yes I understand you are talking about the tubular magazine that hangs under the barrel.
Again the question is why do you want to reduce the length? Cosmetic to your eye?
And again, why bother?

GunnyMack

Yup you need a faster twist, I've shot them in multiple rifles and less than stellar accuracy.
Someone was making a fast twist barrels for 10/22s.
They are quiet though.

GunnyMack

I hear you, I've got 4 different bullets to test in the 92/65 218bee, new powder to test in my 338wm, still need to find a load for my 7 Mauser...

I wonder if I could persuade my Benelli to function with the short shells, with the extension mag tube I might get a dozen in it!

GunnyMack

That will do just fine! Still waiting for a range report

GunnyMack

I remember our Mariner mission but not the russkies I'm sure we're tight lipped about it!

GunnyMack

That is great news ! Fingers crossed he makes a full recovery.

GunnyMack

Best bet is to call Henry and ask them. Heck they might even do it for you or supply a tube for you to cut yourself.
Is it just the appearance of the mag tube you don't like? Personally I'd leave it alone, no unforseen problems in machining that could screw up the functionality of the mag tube.

GunnyMack

That sucks, I really enjoy his work. Get well soon!

GunnyMack

My 77/22 by far is my favorite. I originally bought it for .22 silhouette ( which never happened) it still wears the factory profile barrel but is a match grade Shilen. It also wears this gorgeous Claro Walnut stock I made for it.

That's a good solution Doc!
There are fluorescent replacement LED tubes that can just go into the fixture. I put one in the bathroom, very happy with it.

GunnyMack

That is a truly awesome 52!!

GunnyMack

I have an MX8, an Ithaca import MX8 and a Comp 1, I'd like to sell the Ithaca gun and the Comp 1 as I don't NEED them. The Comp 1 I got for a song as the guy that had it blew up the bottom barrel. I found a set of barrels and sent them to Giacomo for fitting. Best part of Perazzi is they are infinit...

GunnyMack

Thanks guys !

GunnyMack

I had found a set of MX barrels in 28ga, they were for a 12ga frame. I was ready to buy them until I saw the price tag!!!! $5000.00 was way too rich for my blood. So I bought a set of Briley sub gauge tubes.

GunnyMack

Was in Phoenix once. I was 8 or 10 , being a desert rat at heart I loved it! Had some thunderstorms come through that caused flash floods, amazed by how fast that could happen!
Hiway 50- spent some gas on that too!
Boy I miss the west...

Yep Bill another year has flown by!

I keep coming back to this, certainly gets the grey matter going. One thing keeps coming up in my head, 357 Maximum. I'm not overly familiar with it, certainly guns chambered for it are scarce but it scratches an itch for the 35 guys. I suppose a 180 or 200 gr 358 rifle bullet loaded in it would get...

Hard to believe that Sage was born 1 year ago this morning at 0403!

I had that thought as well...
I have seen 2-8x LER scopes. Not easy to shoot at high magnification.

It's called ignorance Bill.
Dad would always pick apart aviation themed shows & movies, being as he had 38,000 odd hours with some sort of aircraft strapped to his back he forgot more than ' experts ' thought they knew!

GunnyMack

2x to 8x is indeed a lot of magnification for a long eye relief scope. You'll have to play with it to find a sweet spot.
Only scoped short gun I have is a Mk2 with a 10" bbl, only a 2x though.

GunnyMack

To Hell and Back - another great movie.
Just found Merrills Marauders- never saw it so while the pork butt is in the smoker I'll watch it! ( and a few more other movies while it smokes today)

GunnyMack

Just started In Harms Way.
What's your favorite war movie?

GunnyMack

I forgot all about the Lyman Tmag press.
Tell me what makes you want to give it away? Likes, dislikes?

GunnyMack

Dunno about the tacos but I've cleaned a few fish and butchered many deer type critters!

GunnyMack

That's impressive!

Can I bring my fishing rod?

GunnyMack

What brand is that Scott?

GunnyMack

No matter what these will fail over time. Solvents/oils and most of all ozone with rubberized products will deteriorate them. With 22s I only clean when the gun stops functioning, then completely scatter the gun for a deep clean. That way you can inspect buffers( if they have one) replace if necessa...

Not just movies- Last night I was watching a show on The Outdoor Channel, commercial for Weibe Knives shows a guy with an obvious air rifle, his chin on the stock,kind of silhouetted but it was completely obvious that whomever taped the segment was not a shooter, nor was the editing staff and no one...

THAT would get your attention!

GunnyMack

Nope, no big deal Bill. It won't zoom for me...
Of course on my phone the screen isn't so big and it's a little better on the tablet but without cheaters( in my fishing vest in the truck) it's just fuzzy print.
Like I said I'm VERY careful with bullseye!

Don't worry Doc, Mother Nature will settle our hash- give her time and all will be right again.

A buddy of mines father bought a model RC jet engine, it was a bigger model for a B52 /747 type model. He cobbled it together on a bicycle frame. They rode it once! At about half throttle you were doing at least 45mph! Thankfully he didn't rig a very large fuel tank! :lol: Your feet are the best thi...

Bill, I saw this post of yours, tried to look at the picture, unable to zoom in so I can't read the info... No big deal as I'm well aware of double charging and if I'm using Bullseye I'm doubly if not triply aware! It is very good info for people to remember that Bullseye can cause problems - good o...

A 30 something certainly checks the majority of the boxes. I'd rather shoot my 338WM from a bench than a Remington 700 in '06, every one in factory stock kicked me to no end! When I 'built' my 338 I made it with no drop so it recoils straight back. I digress, I'd take a 308 , either my Model 70 or u...
