I won't do it this year.
Which is very unfortunate because weather forcast for that Week end sounds good. Lucky you!

I will do my best to come next year!...

Bulldozer

It apears to be in good shape.
Congratulations.

Bulldozer

Good news indeed.
Stay well John!

Thank you lord.

Very nice.

So the software's predictions can give us some clue on the pressure curve ib regard to a specific load.
Of course better to check with an official reloading data book, prior to any live test.

For the rest, nothing but to try it at the shooting club.

Thanks.

Bulldozer

Quickload: interesting software.
I had one 12 years ago but lost the floppy disk,120$...

To check the software predictions I see only wo ways:
-to measure the bullet speed
-to measure pressure in the barel.

I always wondered how precise are Quickload's prediction?....

Bulldozer

Very interesting.
Thank you all for your answers.

If one day I see one at my shooting club I will no doubt ask for a try!

Bulldozer

I like it!

The browning BLR lever is an obscure rifle (I am trying to say: only few people seems to own/buy/know it). Nevertheless, it seems to cumulate many advantages: • Fast and smooth lever • Strong breach bolt • Magazine • Possibility to fire any type of bullets (FSP, FMJ,...) • Firepower up to 300 winch ...

That is very true in his car !

So sad...

In France, most of my fellow citizen would be feared of living in a state like Texas (I won't!). Forgive them for their ignorance, but they truly believe – and I do not agree with them for many reasons - that a society in which every responsible citizen is armed is a dangerous society. So, regardin...

In America the places you might get shot are the big cities. This is exactly why I carry everyday. France has had recent mass shootings. Imagine if a couple of trained citizens had been on scene with their legally owned, concealed firearms? Sure. According to some specialists involved in French nat...

I don't know about everyone but in the part of Texas where I live it is quite common. I walked into a restaurant/country store the other day and there was a guy eating his meal, and he had a Colt 1911 semi-auto on his hip .. open carry. No one paid any attention to him. Back in 1988 or 89 we had Th...

Bulldozer, As you may recall, there was an incident where the British attempted to take some cannons from some colonists. That incident sparked a revolt that eventually led to the formation of the United States, with the assistance of our French brethren. Owning firearms and using them in self defe...

Thank you Joe.

According to wiki it seems there are 10 towns/ cities named Paris in the USA!
I am living near Paris, France.
And even here, a nurse cannot reproach me for owning legally my beloved Firearms!

That video is an extract from « Comancheria ». I saw that movie 2 weeks ago. I was positively surprised that almost everyone in Texas do carry a gun, and that they are ready to use it if necessary. Is that true? In France, most of my fellow citizen would be feared of living in a state like Texas (I ...

Do I proudly own firearms? That is a right I have! Are they locked? Only for their own security! Fixed that for ya. :) Thank you claybob! In USA, it is a right, but here in France, I think it is only a priviledge. Because, the law here is - roughly - as follow: No one can own a firearm in France wi...

Bulldozer

The tricky part is getting the nose of the bullet UP - not only it has to go from being perpendicular to the magazine body, then (depending on the grip angle) tipping up enough to be parallel to the bolt/slide, but most guns seem to require a bit more tip-up than that, so the nose ramps more easily...

Bulldozer

The lock on a Mini-14 consists of an 'ear' on either side of the rotating bolt just behind the bolt face, and a matching stop machined into either side of the receiver. The left side lock-up is directly behind this gentleman's lovely weld. The .223 is a high-pressure cartridge. If the left side of ...

Very interesting pictures ! For my part I see four parts in that magazine: - A compressed spring which gives the energy needed - An organized stockpile of cartridges - A transition part (the most unbelievable, but if it works…) - A cartridge to be feed (right position, right angle) Come on Julien.....

It looks bad, but I am sure a skilled gunsmith could save the gun...

You asked for opinions, here is mine: It is butt-ugly and I wouldn't own one on a bet. It appears to be an answer for a question not asked. Sometimes it is better to leave well enough alone. The lever action rifle rose to height of beauty, fit and function over 100 years ago. Modifications such as ...

(A) of course is the historical favorite. Looking at the rest, (D) is the least ... problematic... in terms of ergonomics and most flexibility. I think it's an interesting idea.

Naturally A as that's all I have ever used but D looks a little more usable in applications for the modern man. Most younger people are familiar with the AR and want to add accessories which D provides. It's a must for the collapsible buttstock and front rail.-------6 Hi Sixgun! With (d) you may ev...

I chose (A) and (B). (A) is a twin to my very first lever gun and so I have a soft spot for that version. (B) was chosen because because it is about as different as you can get. The others are functionally the same as (B) so I didn't vote for them. I just realized after looking at the pics again th...

Hi folks, Thank you to those who participated to the first part. There are many interesting viewpoints! As I promised you, there would be a second part.

Bulldozer

Make the grip and lever pivot together so hand position remains constant. I have seen something like that on the web (see attached picture). But I fear: - During a walk, aiming from one target to another... The lever is likely to open prematurately, and you won't be able to fire - When you fire, th...

For my part, it will be the kind of day you remember all your life. The shooting range is quite unique, and shooting silhouette is really fun. Just as Sixgun was telling, the climax of that day was to discuss and meet people who shares your value and your passion for guns, even if they are from a co...
