Lookin pretty good now, put one coat of Casey tru oil on it. https://i.imgur.com/QDl0oVGh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wn8LDYNh.jpg Dang Lenn, if you get that new stock lookin' any better you'll have to quit shootin' it. I had two really great new stock sets recently but sold them at the last show I wen...

Nice pics Steve and lovely rifles but I'm especially partial to your 6 shooter and it's leather. Who is the maker?

M. M. Wright

I've been using the "Extreme Terminal Performance" bullets 20 or more years Doc. Started using them when I got my Green Mountain bullet barrel. I have used the 45 200, 250 and the 44 200 and 240. I load them in a sabot over 90 grains of Goex ffg. I like the lighter bullets for the flatter trajectory...

I`m pretty impressed with myself seeing the front sight blurs bad, nice group for 100 yards for me anyway.

Awesome rifle and that is some good shootin'.

M. M. Wright

That's a really pretty one Lenn and it shoots good too. I like to set the windage adjustment to 0 and then loosen the allen head screw and move the front sight so it hits point of aim. I can usually remember the number of clicks for elevation but write it down anyway. Little piece of paper rolled up...

Man olschool, that's a fine picture. Thanks for posting and nice buck and good shootin'. I just love it when an old campaigner makes meat. Did you see my buck and '73 SRC?

M. M. Wright

Sounds like a plan. Excited for you.

M. M. Wright

Awesome Pitchy. Can't wait to see the new Garand. .308 huh? Mine is a Coast Guard etched receiver so I think it was supposed to be a .308 but I found an 06 barrel for cheap. If you really like yours maybe I'll change mine.

Sorry to hear about the fall. Hope nothings broken. I took a bad one Wednesday with a load of packages and my old 73 in my arms. Nothing broken but lots of sore places and scabs over the scrapes. The replaced knee took the worst of it. Glad to see you and Jess out doing what you obviously love.

M. M. Wright

I didn't mention this in my previous reply but are you aware of the slow twist in your old 45-90? It is probably 1:32 which is intended for 300 to 350 grain bullets and may not adequately stabilize the 400 to 500 grain bullets of the 45-70 that has a twist rate of 1:18 or 1:20. This was Winchester's...

M. M. Wright

My jig pulls on the point on the barrel where you want the bend instead of pushing as yours does. Gets the job done though. Ran over an 1100 on a pheasant hunt once and bounced my weight on it while it was bridged on a wooden pallet. Straightened right out. I find crooked or bent barrels less of a c...

M. M. Wright

I am down to only one 92 and it's a 32-20. I use a Marbles tang sight on it and recommend it to other old geezers like me. I started using the tang sights while shooting SASS matches where I don't use an aperture, just look through the threads. They come with 3 discs and the big one with the little ...

$1.98 at WalMart this morning here in Indian Territory.

M. M. Wright

I'm a '39 model, almost 80. I remember in '57 riding my '47 knuckle to the Indian dealer's to buy a new tire. The dealer tried to get me to buy a new Vincent Black Shadow he had left on the show room floor. About $950 and I had the money in the bib of my overalls. Just lacked the foresight. He told ...

M. M. Wright

I too have an original '86 in 45-90 circa 1916. The bore is a little dark so it likes gas checks and jacketed bullets. I feed it mostly Goex ffg or Swiss 1 1/2 but the smokeless it likes, like 6's, is AA5744. This is the powder for old large capacity cases. Mine has the slow twist so I feed it 300 g...

M. M. Wright

Elegant 6pt, simply elegant.

M. M. Wright

1Lux, Many CAS shooters simply remove that safety from their 73s and 92s. I'm a bit more cautious and only thin the spring 'til I can't feel any resistance from it. You need to read Nath's thread on clearing the lever from strain against the bolt. There shouldn't be any resistance to the lever comin...

M. M. Wright

Wow Blaine it's just beautiful! I haven't had a tuba in years. Biggest brass I have is a Baritone, a 'bone, a couple of trumpets and our old family cornet. The cornet is a Conn big bore made in 1911 and rebuilt about 20 years ago. Has all the slides to tune it in C or Bb.

M. M. Wright

Very nice buck & 73! Curious if the bullet passed through or what it looked like if recovered Brad Clean pass thru Brad. Hit him way to far back but must have clipped the big artery just under the back bone. Maybe hit a kidney. Anyway, every time I went to shoot again he'd wobble, change directions...

M. M. Wright

No Earl, I meant .308 Win. This is a commemorative celebrating 75 years of Savage. I just couldn't resist that tapered octagon, crescent butt and straight grip. Wish it were a 250/3000.

M. M. Wright

Shot this one late yesterday. Only had an hour or so 'til dark so just grabbed my truck gun and went to my blind. Hadn't been there 20 minutes when this guy came along. I thought; yeah, he's good enough, let's take him. Shot him at about 80 yards with the open sights that I can barely see. 200 grain...

M. M. Wright

Here's my 99. Except it's a 1895 in .308. The only rifle I've taken to the blind with me this year.

M. M. Wright

Come on in, the water's fine.

M. M. Wright

Ob Bill, that is gorgeous. That big ball should flatten a pig.

M. M. Wright

Thanks wm. I really enjoyed that one. He even played his own piano.
Cool.

M. M. Wright

Yeah, that's funny.

M. M. Wright

Just got back from BIL's and his smoked turkey and ham with all the trimmings. Great visit with a lot of the family. Lenn; you and Norma have a great day. Hope you have lots of turkey. Oh yeah, I watched 5 Toms parade across one of my fields last evening, 2 young fork horns the evening before. God b...

Nicely done. I admire the deer and the rifle. 30-30?

M. M. Wright

I think I need a camp out worse than the kids.

M. M. Wright

I had one for several months and it worked very well. Digested almost everything I fed it. I also have two of the original 51s which are .380 and really fit your hand. Why oh why didn't they just chamber it in 9mm and let it go at that? I know they felt what they did was OK but it's just too big, to...

M. M. Wright

Grandkids are great, even when they're Greats. I've got a couple of those too. They all add up to about 15. I'm never sure which ones I need to claim so just love 'em all. We've adopted 3 of our Grandchildren but they still call us Grandpa and Grandma except the 9 year old calls me Gdad. I love it.

M. M. Wright

I've often thought about a scope mount for my Lyman round all gun, it's accurate enough with the irons but just to see how accurate it really is. Then maybe a red dot...? I'm guessing your GM has a 1:28 twist? You know, I honestly don't remember the twist and it's not marked but I would assume you ...

1907 ? ?

Has that SAA been converted to .357 ?

.

Yes, it's a Christy conversion with Micro sights on it. Colt replacement barrel with address on the side. No shake at all when locked up. The springs are a little much for my taste but I can fix that. Yeah, it's a keeper so NO 6.

M. M. Wright

Prayers up friend.

https://i.imgur.com/ZBL0vbO.jpg If I had to to, I could get by with this as my only rifle. I loaded this shot two weeks ago and left it in the rack behind my truck seat until this evening. 100 yards, rested on my truck mirror. Load is 90 grains ffg under a .451 200 grain XTP in a sabot. (It's a 50 ...

Well, here is my range report on the new to me 1907 Colt. I just fired a couple of cylinders at 25 yards or so.

M. M. Wright

Oh Blaine, now I've gotta go clean myself up.

M. M. Wright

I've never had a problem with the BLR mags except for coming up with the money to buy them. Suckers are expensive. Nearly all of the BLRs here are short action, 15 or so of them and we've never had the problem you describe. Maybe someone else will be able to add some intelligence to this. Welcome to...

I still have that show on my bucket list! Whether I come home with guns or not, I just want to attend and see what 4,000 table show looks like! And since my brother lives near Noble, Ok. I can visit him and we could do the show together! Heck yeah, come on down. There's another coming up the spring...

Had a great time at the Tulsa show and obtained a few new toys. First up is a lever gun (naturally). A Savage 99 in .308. Tapered octagon bbl. and straight grip.

Can I sneak one in here? Snowing here in what used to be Indian Territory after being 14 Saturday morning while I was heading to Tulsa for the big gun show. I'll try to take a few pics and post a report later. I've been adopted by a Blood Hound. Stray just showed up last week sometime and he's just ...

M. M. Wright

Thanks so much for the pics Nath. Always enjoy seeing you and Jess out hunting. Snowing here this morning, our dogs peeking out of their igloos. Plastic ones of course.
