Surefire products are expensive but they are well warrantied and built pretty strong. They got behind the technology curve with LED's for a while but they are now catching up.

Museum of Natural history is fun once every 10 years or so. Co state museum used to be good, but haven't been there in years. Not sure if you can get tours of the Coors or Bud plants on Sunday or not. :mrgreen: Little extra truck money might be fun at Blackhawk/Central City. :mrgreen: I agree with ...

We saw a lot of tire kickers and less buyers. The only table set up close to us that was selling much was L&L Machine Guns that had the "Tactical Girls" selling their calendars at their set of tables. I guess the couple selling Jerky at the end of our (read that, Lonnie of Run-N-Iron's...

Hello,

I have seen this in two fliers now from RSR Group but they indicate it is "coming soon". I am very curious about the quality and reliability of this gun. Has anyone tested/shot/handled this model and have any input to offer?

Thanks!!!

This is probably off topic, but I have seen this movie several times and have finally read the book. Wonderfull! If there are any of you out there that has seen the movie but not read the book, I would highly suggest you do so. Very close to the movie but includes a lot more and ties some things to...

I sure do, a Win model 67 22 single shot my Dad gave me. I also have my Dad's rem model 870 wingmaster in 20 ga. I used it more than him when I was a kid shot alot of partridge with it. Wow iceman, mine is almost identical. I have my first 3 guns. Mom and Dad gave me my Dad's old Winchester 67 .22 ...

The deer I shot with my old 16" youth model Marlin 30-30 didn't know the difference. Sorry, I don't have any ballistic data but it worked fine at relatively close range.

The short tube is what I have on my D-Max. Kimwcook is quite correct, full power loads are pretty brutal. I don't shoot it much with them. They are a bit rough in my trapper too. I love the shorter barrel, so much handier and packable. If I had the beans for a SA, I would have it just like you are ...

I love shooting both. I prefer to shoot the 10/22 suppressed with a scope and the 9422 with irons. VERY different guns. I love shooting both. Just depends what you are looking for.

Done!

Everyone, Thanks for the information! Would you follow the same procedure for the Freedom Arms guns as the old model unaltered Ruger's? Thanks, Darin Darin, I honestly can't answer your question.

Ouch. Glad to see it wasn't worse and no one got hurt. I was called to help with a chemical explosion a few years ago in a little town north of Wichita. I assisted as a reserve police officer and watched a nice secondary explosion. The point is the company that owned the plant that had the explosion...

I stopped in a pawn shop this morning to see what old guns the might have. Nothing old but a Remington Model 12 .22 and a Winnie Model 67A. I got to talking to the owner about old guns and history and he brought out a book on Law Enforcement Officers of Wichita, KS. I asked how he got the book and h...

Check your state laws. Part of the KS concealed carry law states that it is flat out against the law for a company to ban CCH holders from keeping a gun in their cars on ANY company or public access property. One of the local aircraft companies still keeps their no firearms signs up, but security a...

In the course of going through all 440 some pages of posts on this forum over the last couple of months or so I found a posting where a forum member had recommended reading this book by Osborne Russell. I do not remember who recommended it but I am sure enjoying reading it. I am about 2/3 through it...

Here are a couple of pics. I wish the legs extended out with a little more angle. You have to position the gun one on each side and add one to each side as you go to keep the weight on each side roughly equal.

I bought a small fold up steel saw horse from Lowe's or Home Depot several years ago and bolted a 1x6 to the top. Before bolting the 1x4, I outlined and jig saw cut notches for barrels. It have served quite nicely at several shoots. I will try to take a pic of it when I get home tonight to show you....

I think you will probably run out of enjoyment (cease to be enjoyable to shoot) before you run out of strength. http://photos.imageevent.com/cas6969/guns/ROOOGA.jpg I took a year or two to make up my mind what I wanted, a .41 or a .45 I finally went with .45 Colt. I sold two valued Rugers to help g...

Hello, I am considering a Freedom Arms Model 97 in 45 Colt and I am curious how strong the gun is. I have NO desire to shoot max loads through it but I wonder if it is considered to be a strong as a Ruger Blackhawk as far as what loads it can safely handle. . . . I own 97 45 Colts with 4.25- and 5....

KSFlatheadhunter

Yes, your right about the price point. I think they are the Lamborghini of revolvers and if they go used the price falls precipitously. I waited until I had money and a used revolver at the same time. Cyrus listed his here and elsewhere for over 4 months without a sale. I now have it. Nothing wrong...

I think you have the answer for the strength. I LOVE Mine - Its a 45Colt/45 ACP convertable, Octagon barrel. Adjustable sights. If you are interested, I have a very custom .45colt Ruger three screw (not modified, for sale if you want a bit more beef and excellent triger,timing, forcing cone work as...

I think the factory suggested retail is reasonable for the quality you get. Any discount is just icing on the cake. :wink: Hobie, Yes, I strongly agree that they are worth the money. The problem I ran into many years ago is that I couldn't find anyone else in my area that agreed. I planned on being...

Well, after doing a smart search on Gun Broker for completed auctions on these guns, I believe I am much better off ordering one from Freedom Arms. I am stuck between the 4.25 and 5.5" barrels. Any thoughts between the two barrel lengths. Gun would be packed while hunting deer and hogs and poss...

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the great info! Lot's of good info to consider in those posts.

Now the long wait of finding a good used one on GB for a reasonable price.

Your 4 1/4" unit looks very nice!

Thanks for taking the time to look up those postings, I really appreciate it.

Welcome to the forum! You'll love that gun. We have a real genuine 92 guru here that goes by Nate Kiowa Jones http://www.stevesgunz.com that will prolly tell me I'm wrong, but here goes: The rear sight is in a dovetail groove and can be moved for windage. If the front sight is of the dovetail sort ...

My daughter and I have shot 3 or 4 deer in the last couple of years with the .243 shooting a Barnes Triple Shock 85 grain bullet. We have not recovered a single bullet. We are pleased with the .243's performance, given we are using a good bullet that will stay together. Darin http://i35.tinypic.com/...

Regarding the saddle ring, I've added a threaded single hole Win 94 (late type) to a Rossi, and it turned out great. Then again it was "just" an LSI-sourced model that was already messed up with the *!#?! safety, so I didn't care. On yours, I'd stay with a proper 92 staple type, and see t...
