Angels in fur....

I still say that most dogs are better than a lot of people... We're enjoying our dogs, including the Senior Doggie of the house, who is 13 this year and still gets around pretty well.

Poohgyrr

I need more Levers.

I bet that was a mite exciting...

Trappers are sweet, and I haven't ever seen one in 32. The price I'll pay depends on how badly I want it.. That would be a fun Trapper though.

Poohgyrr

Whatever I'm wearing that day, like say a 1911/45 or 4" M21, which is out of sight and nearby when in bed. Wife has her 1911/45 on her side. And yes, she's had 40+ hours of training at a local school. A .30 carbine and 870 are out of sight and nearby as well. The dogs get treats for alarming us...

Poohgyrr

Looks good, congrats. I don't get on here as much as I used to, which front sight do you have?

Poohgyrr

Add another WOW!! to the others. And Congrats!!

Poohgyrr

Dbl Tap seems to sell a lot of 10MM ammo, and I use their 44 Special.

Poohgyrr

Congrats. Steve sure does nice work. Enjoy it , and let us know how it does. Also, very appropriate for election day!

Poohgyrr

That probably makes too much sense for here..... But it sure would be a nice way to take the wife to visit her Mother in Houston, drive over to Port Arthur to pickup a tuned M92, and register it here when we get back.....

Poohgyrr

That's the way to do it. Thanks for the great pics. Those look great and you must have a good time. Great looking rifle too.

Poohgyrr

Ahem....

If I wanted a bolt rifle, the big W 88 is what I would want; I read a lot of good things about them. Otherwise, Real Levers have exposed hammers and are tube fed.

See how open minded I am?

Poohgyrr

I'm sure the "anti civil rights" (ie anti gun) Chief and Mayor stored all those guns very carefully during the hurricane...

Poohgyrr

Both pistols have their fans. Around here, the BHP is easier to get parts & holsters for, if that matters. Holster wear has my parkerized .40 BHP in need of refinishing. The finish on the blued 9mm BHP I bought used is holding up better. Both Hi Powers are great pistols and favorites. :mrgreen: ...

Poohgyrr

MMmmm. Hope it goes to a deserving home. Mine is blued and has the wart, but it is mine...

I can almost smell those trees in that crisp air. Much better than being here in town.

Appreciate the pics. Thanks for the pick me up.

Poohgyrr

I'm definitely in Reagan Country............

The only problem with inviting nice folk from out of state to move to TX is that even though they say that they hate where they left, they still want to bring some of those dumb-butt ideas with them and then try to turn TX into the crap-hole they just left. HEY!!! That is what happened to us here! ...

Exactly. My only complaints are that I can't afford a few more, and that I didn't buy one twenty years ago when a friend first said to.

Poohgyrr

Thanks for the info.....

I still need a 26" 30WCF................

Poohgyrr

Meds and related supplies are an important part of this as well. Staying home has some advantages; driving out brings more fuel and spare parts into the picture. I still think pack animals begin to look better than vehicles for travel. For extended timelines, what is likely to be available through t...

Poohgyrr

Absolutely. My first rifle was a lever .22 and I was hooked.

Non toxic ammo, hmmm.... Never thought I'd see the day I'd have to buy broken boolits.

Yup, a big thank you to him, and his folks.

+1 to all the above posts.

For home defense, IDPA, plinking, and hunting: All revolvers are S&W; all Levers are Winchester M94s, or NKJ tuned EMF M92s. Two each: good M92s (16" or 20") in .357, tuned J frames (.38/ .357), and blued eight shot 3 1/2" M27-8s with a hundred or two moonclips. A blued 4" M2...

As much as it angers me that I can't buy an UZI anymore, I lke to poke fun at the liberals by looking at this a slightly different way..... The Libs really aren't liberals at all. They are Conservative spies in deep cover. How else can we explain laws that force us to shoot burglars with 30-06's an...

Beretta makes a tipup barrel .380 she might look at. The physical & medical capabilities have a part in this. FWIW, we've trained one woman who had polio as a kid and no stength in one arm & hand. She eventually picked a 9mm Browning Hi Power. Another elderly woman had bad arthritis in her h...

These threads always get my attention. I have a '60s top eject that would be fun to convert.

Poohgyrr

Giving up any pistols or rifles would be really tough; every single one is paid for and special. But any one of them could "get the job done." I'll keep the blued 3 1/2"' eight shot S&W .357 because this old guy has wanted it for a long time, S&W finally made it, and I finally...

Poohgyrr

Griff said it............

Poohgyrr

16" is handy enough, and some only come in 20" - so they will do. Most of my shots are within 125 to 150 yards max.

Poohgyrr

One day I figured out how much I was paying for ammo every month for 100 to 200 rounds a week. Even the cheap surplus .45 cost too much. At the most, hardcast commercial 158 gr swc's were $15/500; 240 LSWC's and 230 gr LRN's were $20/500. Primers & powder were often on sale. Bought a LEE Pro 100...

Poohgyrr

Best wishes. I'd guess there might be some things here that you won't miss.

And more guns sounds good.

Poohgyrr

Thanks guys. I dunno about anyone else, but it's a good thing that M92 looks good, 'cause it has to make up for my ugly old face.

And it is real nice to see eveyones' pictures too.

Poohgyrr

Yup, that does look good, well done.

Poohgyrr

First centerfire Lever was a 20" Winchester 30-30 bought on sale for $140 OTD aound 1980. Still have it, with a Williams FP. This carbine helped fuel the need for more Levers. First .22 Lever, and the only.22 rifle I've ever owned, is a '67 Western Field (Mossy) gifted from my Parents and Great...

There is a certain short octagon Winchester 30-30 pictured in this thread.

That made me get this sweet 16" EMF octagon .44 Special from Nate:

I'm not Griff, but that looks like a Marlin that should be in my safe.

Poohgyrr

Good! And best.

Poohgyrr

Sounds pretty good. Years ago, my .22 Benjamin bothered local ground squirrels, and put jack rabbits on the kitchen table. It took four pumps for the bushy tailed rats, and I think six for the rabbits.

Poohgyrr

"I will have to add Malamute's 9410 (and bird dogs ) to my list." My 94 is a 30-30. :D Ahh!! I reread that post, and see how I misread the 9410 part. Wondered a bit on that size cast ball in the .41 bore. Still adding your birdgun to my list though. Good shooting, and the dog(s) look good...

Poohgyrr

I have always thought that bagging plains antelope with a M94/3030 said something good that I simply could not ignore. Guess those ballistic tips (bigger diameter & heavier bullet than the .243) hold their velocity and trajectory pretty darn well, even out of a handloaded rimmed 30 WCF round. Ju...

Poohgyrr

Hmmmm........... I kinda think Fadala in his Winchester 94 book, and all the hunters (guys and gals) over the years, have shown a properly loaded, and shot, M94 can do about anything. Not to say the others can't do it as well or even easier. Load 165gr ballistic tips into the 30-30 AI over a stout c...

Poohgyrr

Joe,

Your original post says it all and is right on the mark. Hard part for me would be deciding which three to keep, but whichever three they were - I would do fine.

Poohgyrr

And maybe shortening & fitting the forearm.

And rechambering if you shorten it from the chamber end.

Poohgyrr

Ahhh heck.

If you can't sneak up on your game, just load 165 gr spitzers into your 30-30 AI '94 and go shoot some antelope. It's been done. (Not by me..

)

I would need to keep a tuned M92 though. I am spoiled.

Poohgyrr

Yup, definitely looks good. And that is a Lever friendly piece; not OT IMO.
