probably aint the place and I am a new guy here, but I got an older friend who is about 70 having a few problems. They thought they were having a TIA or a small stroke each day, but we worked out it was always 1230pm to about 130pm they were acting a little out, a bit slurry and wobbly, then they wo...

thanks for that picture hawkcreek.

mickbr

I saw a few threads on these over the years and was thinking of trying some out. Are these a myth, bad idea, or easy enough to do? I was thinking 3x .360 000buck might work just from a diameter and payload perspective. This would just be for fooling about, not trying to invent the best small game lo...

everything I own, which is a 357 lever, a couple 22's and 410's.

Yes background checks is how it all starts. The sad thing as you said is when gunowners support gun checks but wouldn't expect them for buying knives, trucks, fast cars, liquor, boats or another 100 ways to cause deaths ...guns being more 'evil'..

I'm not sure what they were showing on that video. Google any cat vs snake video, every one has kitty batting snakes about the head, snake retaliating with strikes, cat bouncing back etc. No doubt a few cats get killed fooling about like this but the point is they can score easily on snakes and I do...

mickbr

I leave snakes be in the outdoors, around the house is different. They get whatever is handy, usually a shovel, sometimes a 410 with birdshot. No way snakes can intercept bullets, they aren't faster than mongooses, I don't think their even faster than cats, neither of them can bite incoming bullets....

I have one of the longer barrel versions with a lyman tang sight on it and think it is just great. They generally bring around four here. Parts gun? Interesting. You might end up with 2 if you can fix the other one. yes its got me thinking. I have only seen the carbine and it is pristine. The owner...

That's what he called it, but if its not to busted and there are parts still available for these I might see if I can get it running too.

Talk me in or out of it folks. Its good condition 22LR, the blued carbine version with 16.5" barrel. Not sure of the vintage but looks barely used, the fella will also throw in another broken one for use as parts. We haven't discussed price yet but I know he wants them both gone. I only keep a ...

Well hopefully I didn't come off too controlling, I was just clarifying my question. I appreciated the gun porn Pete44ru posted, thats good material for future searches on lever action shotguns.

mickbr

Thanks Bill that link is a amazing resource. I'm glad I asked here and found out about this calibre as it was not on my radar previously.

mickbr

id buy one but only as a truck gun.

I don't think folks read the OP these days, that's twice I said I wasn't after the gauge guns he he, but thanks.

Mick, don't overlook the Armi Sport Spencer replica in .56-50. I had one and it was a lot of fun to shoot. I used a modified Lee 515-450 mould to drop a bullet closer to 350 grains, and Starline makes excellent 56-50 brass. Use off-the-shelf .50-70 dies to load. A friend in Montana has taken a coup...

old savage thanks I had heard of the 56-56 rimfire before but didn't realise it was in a lever action. Pete44ru nice pics, I mentioned those in the OP.. I was more after dedicated rifle cartridges than the shotgun gauges. I shouldn't ask these sort of questions because now I got the hankering to get...

mickbr

I recall reading about the the 70-150 Winchester but it seems it may never have been made. Also there are the shotgun gauge levers. I wondered if there were any actual rifled calibres over 50cal made, including modern custom projects?

mickbr

I had a similar product in the early 90's, Daewoo USAS-12 with the 20 shot drum.Mine was S/A only but the automatic was slow rate of fire which you could almost match with a quick trigger finger. Extreme ammo wasters, once you start pulling the trigger its too much fun to stop. https://www.youtube.c...

mickbr

Mine feeds some factory 38sp okay, What I learned from other sources is it can be hit and miss , some 92's hang up depending on the loaded length of the 38sp. So you find what 38 ammo or length your gun likes and just use that. Also 38 special can ring the chamber as its a shorter case. I don't shoo...

When I was younger I thought I was lazy because I couldn't keep up with him. When I got out in the work world I found I could easily work circles around almost everyone. His example served me well.

whats the most power anyone has got out of their 357 with powder loads under 10 grains?

mickbr

Having said all that, I'm not a real 'pusher' of flu shots (the main motivation aside from any altruism on the part of the medical community is the fact that they are an easy money-maker). People should take more note of this. Like all these hyperactive kids on heavy drugs and adults all taking ant...

A lot of religions describe giant folk and the great flood too. I think Sumerians got it all down first, 1000 years before Hebrews developed writing. They get told to build an ark to survive by their gods too, and a later version even has the dove finding land. Has to be something in the stories.

I worked Africa/ME circuit when I got out over 10 years ago. To be honest not many of us really got the experience to compare a lot of guns. Smallarms are 5.56, contractors mostly get end user certificates for 7.62x39, some 7.62 x 51 amongst euro guys. By the late 2000's the game was more about shor...

I like it, zastavas are a bit of a rare bird. My brother has one, his stock looks like it was made from left over cold war barricades but its a good shooter.

22WMR is a pretty big jump in performance I found. The bullets are actually jacketed, not plated lead, you can actually kill smaller medium game with boiler room shots, though its not preferable, more of a survival tactic. We shot hogs over baits with them back in the day, only as it was mandated by...

I actually only have one centrefire rifle these days. I left the shooting sports, then decided to come back and work out what was going to be my 'last gun ever'. Eventually decided on A rossi 357 for compatibilty with pistols, under 3 grain loads get you 38sp power so a few lbs of powder is small ga...

She was a political idiot, she got photoed on the AA gun no doubt, the rest of the story apparently isn't true. The guys in the story who were real POW's, but not there at that time, even deny it.

She denied it on her website. So did the POW's the story names, Colonel Harrigan etc they said they never met her. In fact they were highly upset about their names being used for the story.

I forgot to mention yes its a 357, I got the 24" barrel as its the longest barrel to keep noise away from my ears. It is front heavy but it has grown on me, and as others point out is easy to stabilise.

I had a 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser once that had a goofy looking adapter on it(ever notice most model 96 Mauser are threaded) and it was an indoor practice round shredder. Indoor practice ammunition had wooden Bullets and this thing supposedly shredded those Bullets. I had quite a few of the wooden bull...

This is not an entirely serious post, I let a friend of mine handle my rossi 92 with 24" octagonal barrel. He remarked he thought lever actions were meant to be light, you could use this as a club. I said levers are sometimes light but this is copying an older barrel design. Then I thought he i...

mickbr

Not exactly what you call a traditional option, but I find I like them for practicality. Also I don't consider they look too bad either. For a regular modern model blued is still my preference but if a better deal comes along in stainless I am happy to buy it.

mickbr

Reminds me of the joke. You wake up in a strange hotel room with Saddam hussien, a king cobra and a lawyer next to your bed. You have a revolver with only two bullets, what do you do? Shoot the lawyer twice, some things you can't be too careful about!

mickbr

Just my 2c I personally like original calibres in guns worth that sort of money.

mickbr

rossi stainless 357, 24" octagonal barrel with red dot sight. I spent 20 years using centrefires up to and including 375H&H but sold them off years ago when I quit the shooting sports. Then after a few years I got the itch again and this little 357 covers everything I need.

Most my hunting is with a 357 rossi these days, mostly hogs.

btw no sign of bullseye as an option, too fast burning for this heavy bullet maybe? Oops -- my bad. I missed bullseye somehow on my QuickLoad query but it is a very viable alternative. With the same inputs as I used for all the others QL says 3.3 grains of bullseye would get the 1000 fps velocity a...

mickbr

Then why not continue to do so? :roll: Not sure what you are saying. I thought the OP wanted a minimal load of fast powder to achieve 1000fps in a .357 rifle. I gave him one that I have shot and chrono'd extensively that is very accurate and uniform. I do not understand the comment"Then why no...

great results ambracol, I don't think I will be putting my head up for no reason if 38 spl are coming down range.
