Re: Prepared to Shelter In Place.

So the hospitals are worried about being overrun by Covid sufferers. Well, with all the shelter in place orders they better prepare to see the delivery rooms overrun in about nine months. Look what a couple of days without power did to NYC. No kidding. Good thing we’re past child bearing years at o...

Re: Waxahachie declares state of emergency.

The sooner they declare the sooner they get more money from Feds.

Re: Rossi levergun

Also a fan. They do need Stevesgunz treatment. He seems like a real gentleman on the DVD. Replace the plastic follower and follow his directions. You’ll have a fine shooter. Mine have the mystery wood. I chemically stripped the .357 then oiled with Watco dark walnut. It looks nice. I left the .45 Co...

Re: Henry Golden Boy vs Winchester 9422

I like the Golden Boy but it never fit me. I have the lever action frontier octagon Henry. It is cheaply built reminds me of a Daisy air rifle. It shoots and functions fine. It is not even in the same zip code as the 9422 in terms of heirloom quality. My Dad had one when I was a kid. No checkering a...

Doug and his son in law stayed overnight with me a few years ago as they were weathered in on a small plane (2seater) trip. He’s a decent fellow and they sent my wife some nice stuff as a thank you. I know he does high end heirloom work but man is it nice!

Re: Is this the last of Scouting in America?

When the LDS church pulled their support that was the end of it.

Put your boys (and girls) in a wrestling program. Best character building platform there is.

Re: .357 cast bullets

I would think that filling the case to the bottom of the seated bullet with Trailboss would work. Don’t compress it though.

Re: The Sig Got Out Of Jail A Few Days Early

Probably some of you guys are LE. My uncle was a state guy. He told me one time that in his training he’d learned that the instinctive shooter, maybe even one that had never even fired a handgun before, was the most likely to make a lethal shot. Makes sense that you guys practice instinctive. If I l...

Nice job on the sight. Looks great. I love projects like that. My Rossi is old so no bolt safety. Mine has an old 66 Lyman on it. That's a sweet looking carbine....

Re: Been having some great luck with Rugers lately.

That’s good shooting. I’ve got a Blackhawk Bisley in .45 Colt to go with my lever gun. I love it. I reamed the cylinder and throat to accommodate cast bullets. Made a huge difference in accuracy. I load 335gr WFNGC from Cast Performance in both rifle and revolver. I also have a .45ACP cylinder for it.
