Aloha Joe, I too suffered similar symptoms to your's, and about 9 months ago had a overnight sleep study performed at a local medical center sleep lab. Sleep apnea was verified, and I have been on a CPAP machine ever since. I also have my chronic bum back, and GERD so I sleep very comfortably on a h...

I'd LOVE a 44 mag Deerfield Carbine. What's not to like about a Garand chambered in 44 magnum? The 4 round rotary box magazine a big improvement over the tube magazine of the original 44 mag carbine. Original 44 mag Carbine on top, newer design Deerfield on bottom http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7m2Kh2rzf...

At least original Kono was a REAL native Hawaiian not a phony Canadian Korean spray-tanned brown and called a Hawaiian. Not a real Hawaiian or Hawai'i kama'aina (local) in the cast.
They only let Hawaiians play not too bright thugs. Sad.

Aloha Gentlemen, Sorry I have not posted in a while. Been busy trying to get my old homestead ready to put up on the market very shortly. I first moved into this house when I was 6 years old. That was over 51 years ago. I own 13.5% of this property split between 4 other siblings. The time has come t...

Bond just came out with their 6" barreled "Texan". I kind of like it. Though I'd have little use for it here in Hawai'i I think I'd make a dandy snake charmer or a canoe gun loaded with bird shot. A couple rounds of 45 Colt in the chamber and you're loaded for boar. I don't think I'd ...

Aloha Gentlemen, Mahalo nui for the replies and well-wishes. This Daisy 10 project was mainly a time-killer between PT sessions so I wouldn't go stir-crazy. My neighbors freak out when they see me in my own backyard plinking at cans with a safe backstop. Times have changed here. My hometown used to ...

Aloha Gentlemen. Haven't been around much because haven't had much to say especially in relation to leverguns. Still going to PT 4 days a week for my chronic back issues, and going to way to many funerals, friends and family dropping left and right, not funny at all. Anyways... I finally have someth...

I don't mind aluminum in a firearm if it's done right. My 1976 vintage Ruger 10/22 still shoots like a charm, absolutely no problems from the aluminum receiver and trigger group. I'd love a current BLR or Henry Long-Ranger rifle if I could afford it. :mrgreen: I do love the CZ bolt action 22 though,...

Hawai'i uses petroleum based fuels to generate electricity, and has the most expensive electric costs in the country. My regular no AC, no heating normal electric bill is around $230.00 a month. When I lived in Idaho (35 years ago, not adjusted to inflation) I paid $5.00 a month in the summer, and a...

It was always my understanding that the Big Horn Armory model 1889 was called the 1889 because it's action size was proportionately right in between the Browning designed model 1886 and model 1892 Winchesters so a happy medium between the two. I really like the 1889 action itself but prefer a straig...

My "brush gun" for the past 41 years has been my Marlin model 1894 in 44 magnum, but NOT for shooting through the brush but a handy package for crawling through the brush to get to my target. On one of my wild pig hunts my buddy who's land I was hunting on was going nuts whispering to me r...

Ji in Hawaii

What if the brush that's attacking you is named Groot?

Ji in Hawaii

Great shootin' Nate. Wish they'd let us hunt birds here with a rimfire (legally) allot less meat damage than a scatter-gun, and in my opinion just as challenging. If I can ever afford another gun, and it be a 22 WMR I think I'd settle with a Henry Goldenboy. http://www.justgunsstore.com/images/libra...

Too bad it is on the crappy BigBoy chassis and not on the 22RF chassis. The Big Boy is a very clunky design and no where near as smooth as the RF rifles. I agree that the brass frame Big Boy is too heavy, and an eyesore worthy of boat anchor duty but personally I find the steel frame (and lighter w...

I use my shotgun defensively against wild pigs and pheasants. I've owned a Remington 870, a Mossberg 500, and a Winchester 1300 even a Browning BPS. I kept the 1300.

I'd LOVE a BLR or a new Henry "Long Ranger" in 338 Federal or even 358 Remington. I have a ton of 308 brass so reloading not an issue through affording a new BLR or Long Ranger and then rebarreling to 338 or 358 certainly is with my fixed income and extreme cost of living here in "par...

The rimfire Golden Boy rifle receivers are brass plated Zamac (Zinc alloy) but I believe the centerfire Big Boy rifle receivers are made from solid brass alloy so no plating to wear through. You could engrave it with no fear. From Google Fu-ing: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/08/chris-dumm/gu...

I'd stay in a tree for 30 hours with a monster like that lurking below even WITH 4 rounds in him. Sometimes 4 rounds just pisses off the bear, even more if shot placement not right.

That is a big bear. I don't know how it compares in size to the typical Grizzly, but we don't have bears around the Dallas area . To me, that is a real trophy. It took 4 shots from a .45-70 and still moved away, that is some amazing toughness. Check out the Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleaders..... :lol: T...

On my 2004 vintage tang safety trapper I replaced the lower tang with rebounding hammer with a leaf spring hammer lower tang from a early 70s vintage gun, and filled the upper tang safety whole with a chunk of antler. The trigger pull is now smooth as silk at about 3 lbs. I'm happy.

Aloha Gentlemen, Recently I was so graciously gifted a Williams FP sight for my Marlin model 36.
