Talking with John, once he is done writing it up I believe it just may end up with a 3" or 4" barrel.

Tell John that I think 3 1/2" would be perfect. We spoke briefly at Branson many years ago.

Good looking mod Nath, I like it!

Well fellers, if it's not bad enough breaking in this new knee at 80, I've got some dread illness that has me feeling really rotten. Dehydrated and with diarrhea and a fever and they don't know what is the matter. I feel some better after they put a liter of fluid in a vein. Insomnia too. I'm thinki...

M. M. Wright

Great one Bro. I think it needs a bit more sage.

M. M. Wright

I just got through watching that. Excellent!

M. M. Wright

Shrapnel, I stand and salute you sir.

M. M. Wright

M. M. Wright

Very nice sir! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

M. M. Wright

You might want to put a drip pan under it just in case it decides to mark it's spot. Especially after it's been sitting for so long. Be sure it's full of 50 wt. before you start it. Good luck.

I grew up with my Dad's 16 gauge model 12 and I still have it and love it. It is old enough that it had the short chamber but I had that reamed out and opened the ejection window a little. Runs like a champ! One of the nice things about the model 12 is the magazine will hold 6 rounds. I also have a ...

M. M. Wright

Nice job Hairtrigger. I've got a couple of lanterns with rust holes in their bottoms that could still be useful for something like this.

M. M. Wright

Now Lenn, I really enjoyed getting my head around how that engine works. I'm betting your rendition has better materials and greater precision than the originals. Really operates well.

M. M. Wright

Wow! That boy has some fists on him. Be proud Grandpa, I've got about 15 of them plus a few Greats.

M. M. Wright

I personally prefer these: https://shop.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_17440.jpg They don't just give me perfectly plumb, but also tell me how many degrees off I am. Good when you want to set angles beyond plumb. Of course not nearly...

M. M. Wright

The '95s have always been my favorite Winchesters. This is the first '95 and the first Winchester I ever bought. I shot my first deer with this '06 and a pile of other's. https://i.imgur.com/pv4VYb3.jpg?1 I've always wanted an unalter SRC but there's always something in the way. This one is suppose...

M. M. Wright

Excellent report Kirk. Good shootin'.

M. M. Wright

We have a great peach crop this year, (Bell O Georgia) and I ate a bowl of them mixed with blackberries for dessert after a plate of stroganoff over rice. Now I've got the "green apple quick steps". Left home early yesterday for an appointment at the VA and both our pear trees looked as if they were...

M. M. Wright

Wow! You really need a set of brass jaws to make it dang near perfect but I'll take it as is, if you want to give it to me.

M. M. Wright

Sounds like you're doing the right thing. I've not noticed the price of commemoratives soaring yet and doubt they ever will. Shoot that thing!

M. M. Wright

Serene! Looks like Norma's enjoying herself. Nothing quite like getting in the wind is there?

M. M. Wright

Very nice Kirk!

M. M. Wright

After looking at that I've gotta go clean myself up.

M. M. Wright

I load ffg Goex in my 45-90 loads. 300 grain bullet and enough powder to give about 1/8th inch compression. Now you've got me wondering so I'll have to set up the Chrono and just see what they are doing.

M. M. Wright

Me too Blaine. And Jim, I have a Colt 2nd gen 1862 Police that is still unfired which handles and points so well that I could imagine it converted to .380 and having it's barrel shortened. No, too many projects now.

M. M. Wright

Love that sidecar Pitchy. You know the early ones were wicker to save weight. Since I can't ride with this new knee I could put the car on my 66 and actually get some use out of it. I'm running an S&S Super E on mine and it's always been too rich but it starts so good and runs so smooth I hate to ch...

M. M. Wright

Thanks crs, that's interesting stuff especially to an avid '86 shooter. Besides my rifle in 45-90 I have a Browning SRC in 45-70 that is much handier.

M. M. Wright

Cool piece Pitchy. Now you can stick that bear in the butt.

M. M. Wright

I know next to nothing about Parkers but I do recognize the superior fit and finish they exhibit. This new one seems to be a very high grade from the quality of the wood to the coverage of the engraving. Condition of this piece is very high on whatever scale you choose to grade it on. I like it. I'v...

M. M. Wright

YES! I would use a few expletives but they'd just get left out. I've owned Blackhawks, 57s, 58s, Marlins and the 58s probably the best for a duty gun when loaded with 190 grain bullets at about 1000 fps. A Vacquero Bisley might be nice too. Or did Ruger ever make one? Maybe I've found another need.

M. M. Wright

I have several rifles that meet them specifies but I usually hunt with my 1886 Winchester in 45-90. It's an octagon barreled, full magazine rifle made in 1916. I put a Marbles tang sight on it and it shoots pretty good.

M. M. Wright

Sounds like you'll have to single point it. Is that close to anything metric when you convert it? Remember that metric threads are designated by the distance from one peak to the next so pitch is .66mm. Just trying to find a pitch that you can find a change gear for. Don't forget about Whitworth thr...

M. M. Wright

Didn't want to step on Jay's new grip post. Got a couple packages yesterday, one from VZ Grips and one from Midway. Been waiting for awhile for both of these. The moon clips were back ordered and the grips were special order. Really like the feel of the new grips on the 610. It came with a set of r...

I've been loading 180 Nosler partitions over 'er some H110 for eldest son to use in his Rossis. I think he'd tackle a rhino with 'em.

M. M. Wright

M. M. Wright

You probably don't want to hear this GK but here in middle US, (northeast Oklahoma) model 12s are plentiful and cheap. My eldest son went out at the last Wanamacher and bought a nice 12 guage for $325 so I taught him a lesson and in about 30 minutes came back with 2 which I had $425 in. $200 for one...

M. M. Wright

I cast lots of 44-40 and 45-90 bullets. I use 20:1 alloy for most everything but like 30:1 for hunting bullets especially in the 45-90. I keep a couple of 20 lb ingots of each that are alloyed up from pure lead and pure tin. I don't know what difference it makes since I've never recovered a bullet. ...

Was the middle of the night and i wasn`t going to get up and i can`t walk very good at the moment.

I can't jump up and see what's going bump in the night right now either. One week anniversary for the new knee. Gets better each day tho.

M. M. Wright

Ok I am late to the party again but have to ask, I see 3" # 4's loaded and wonder if they really are useful. All I can think of is maybe fox and raccoons in the hen's run for 20 yards max. Anyone use them ? When I was 12 my folks gave me a sweet little Ithica SxS 410 double. The first thing I kille...

M. M. Wright

Lovely 6pt, just simply lovely.

M. M. Wright

Yep, gooduns.

M. M. Wright

Nice grill Lenn. Too bad you don't have a piece of dead cow to go on it. It's almost 9:00 AM here and I'm heading out to get another new knee. I too remember the RR track fondly. That's a really nice 45 you posted. I just have one 1911 left. All others grew legs.

Pray for me fellers.

M. M. Wright

Here's my old 1917, 45ACP. I use Wilson full moons because they work and lots others don't. I put the grips and Tyler T on it. Load is 200 grain XTP.

M. M. Wright

Beautiful pics friend. I think I understand your "basic" loading set-up except for how do you get that beautiful roll crimp? Drill press? For years I loaded 10 ga. brass hulls with a stick and a de-primer/primer I made for the purpose. Held the over shot cards in with waterglass. (Just like the old ...

M. M. Wright

I really like those shrapnel!

M. M. Wright

Esperanza, my bride, really likes those cute little shells. She shoots them in SASS.

M. M. Wright

No, the leather won't hurt it. I have one on each of my 73 SRCs, old one and a Miroku. No problems, just keep an eye on it and some Ballistol.

Was at a gun show last week-end and saw an 86 that kept calling my name. Half magazine, shotgun butt, pistol grip in 33Win. It had some extra holes in the action and had been refinished but very nicely. Bright shiny bore and a Redfield receiver sight. Gorgeous wood too. $995 No I didn't buy it but ...
