I discovered “police search” gloves made by a company called “Hatch”. These gloves are super thin and you could pick up a dime off a flat surface with them on. They are relatively inexpensive and I use them for summer time motorcycle gloves – but they would work perfect for your stated need. Give’m ...

Shucks fellas… I put down 6 moose one evening before the light had faded too much for one to still see good enough to get a shot off.

Yeah, those mooseheads were in fact Canadian beers, but hey – it makes for a great story.

Same here... I'd rather buy another .223 since the round travels faster and is just as accurate and about the same price per.

When the rifle is cocked and ready and something bizarre happens - like a client runs out in front of you - I can quickly flick the tang safety on while moving the muzzle in a safe direction. I could not lower the hammer that instantaneously nor could I even think of touching the hammer while the r...

I always wanted an 1886 takedown in .45-70 and found this rifle about 5-years ago for what I think was a good deal ($1100), it's pristine and shoots wonderfully -> http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk445/snot-rocket/1886.jpg I treated the rifle to a Kalispel "hard-case" and it will fit ei...

There are a lot of guns that I’d never have anticipated as liking or even wanting to own. Over time and as I acquired all of the guns I liked and wanted – I found myself only temporarily fulfilled and wound up “opening up” to some of the guns that I’d previously never had a taste for. I figure that ...

I’m glad that I saw this – as I was looking at a GSG 5 the other day and was kind of considering getting one. Now I won’t… While I think prices will increase on NIB un-fired GSG’s (for pure “collectors”), I wanted one for plinking and expect that prices will drop for ones that are used, not to menti...

While I can’t really say whether or not the rifle is worth $2000, I think assuming that if it is – it would hold it’s value better than $2000 would sitting in a bank… I just don’t see any way that this country is not going to suffer from ever greater levels of inflation due to our government’s out-o...

I have the Shop Vac 10-gallon with the 6.5 HP motor and it has been everything I've ever needed in an industrial strength vacuum. I usually use it with the smaller diameter hose kit and sometimes wish it had a "suction bleed-off" as sometimes I find it too powerful for certain tasks as the...

I just picked up a copy of Shooting Times and I saw an interesting article stating a levergun makes a good defensive weapon. what to you consider to be the ideal defensive levergun? I also take “Shooting Times” and saw the same article just days after starting my “defensive levergun project”. I wen...

Slick. That looks like one of the stamps I've seen but it had an upside down C inside it. It was the stamp of the Springfield Armory. I'm pretty sure I've seen one like that with an S inside. I was told that might indicate Savage manufacture. Then there is the bomb with 4 distinct flames as opposed...

Slick

As to real stamps vs. fakes, lots of luck, if the “fake” stamp is made correctly you won’t be able to tell. True... Here's my "flaming bomb" stamp I bought from Numrich Arms. I stamped my broken shell extractor for my 1919a4. http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk445/snot-rocket/flamingbom...

I'm quite fond of my modern-day Miroku 1886 take-down in .45-70 http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk445/snot-rocket/1886.jpg It handles anything a Marlin 1895 will take.

There are WAY too many “new cartridges” – and I absolutely REFUSE to “get on board” with any of them… Why – none of them do anything that firmly established cartridges already do.

Be sure you're sitting down when you see my photo... I was in Walmart looking for a flat "sandwich skillet" and found one that had a nice heavy bottom that looked like it would heat up nice and even. Imagine my surprise when I turned it over and saw this-> http://i311.photobucket.com/album...

I just picked up a Marlin 1895 SBL with the extended rail. Unfortunately, most of the “EER” (Extended-Eye-Relief) scopes don’t sit out far enough to work like they do on a handgun… It would seem that there is a new class of scopes called “IER” that is “Intermediate-Eye-Relief” to work better when mo...

First lever is a Winchester (Miroku) 1886 take-down in .45-70 and first single-action revolver (actually) is a NAA .22LR mini-derringer. But my first "real" single-action revolver is a Ruger Superblackhawk Bisley Hunter in .44mag. I still have all of them..

They said in an article that Marlin did not want the possibility of someone loading a .450 round in an old trap door and blowing their head off! :o The belt prevents that possibility. So, so true... But then how is it that folks with Marlin 1895's and Ruger #1's don't blow up all the Trapdoors out ...

I'm one of those guys that *has* to see and look over the gun in person... I'm not gonna buy otherwise - so who knows? Maybe it was a sweet deal. I miss plenty of deals - but I don't get burned either.

I’m a huge fan of Unique – but it took me a while to “get on board”.. I don’t know if the powder used to burn “dirtier” – or if I just learned how to better accommodate it using (ie: stout crimps) and better methods? Either way, I’ve come to love 2400 because it meters so much better and performs wi...

To be entirely honest, I don’t save a cent reloading… The fact is that I’m going to spend whatever I feel that I can to shoot, and reloading permits me to send more rounds downrange – simple as that. The HUGE “bonus” in reloading is that I get to experiment in finding the best, most accurate load fo...

That makes some sense. But, I don't use a pinch-and-pull to work the slide. I use an overhand grip/push-through technique. I actually rack the slide the same way you do, although it might not always be "convenient" to cycle in that metod. I figure that someone wanted to "jazz things ...

I’m sorry that I can’t offer you a “real” answer..
