I went to the Yuma gunshow this morning. Not as good a gunshow as last time 2 months ago. Not as many guns or gunstuff. Many tables not filled, or filled with ladies' bric-a-brac, baked goods, also lots of military junk, chinese ninja swords, etc etc. Did have things of interest, couple of very nice...

I have a .257, 24" barrel, I have used it forPistol Caliber Lever Action silhouette for years, has never stuttered. Tuned up the trigger and smoothed out the action soon after I got it. 8 grains of Lil Gun, 125 grain Berry's Plated Bullets, very little if any recoil, like shooting a .22, knocks...

As for home health/assistance they can do your shopping, drive you to the dr,hospital, barber, whatever. Most will use your vehicle or you'll get charged mileage for their vehicle. DONT use a fly by night home care company, use a nationally known ( franchise) group that is insured, bonded or whatev...

Ok, so my google-fu is failing me today. As a serious lover of the 357 magnum I am curious to know. What animals have been successfully taken with 357 magnum. I know that I have used it for turkey, deer, coyote, feral dogs and black bear but what else? Chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams. Works great!...

No way to pin down a Stevens rifle beyond the time frame they were built as you already have. Stevens records were destroyed back in the 1920's when a government oversight committee was looking into war profiteering at Stevens, and other companies, and Stevens happened to have a fire in their recor...

What's the trigger like ? Light and crisp?

Yeah, very nice and crisp, no more that 2 pounds.

jnyork

What a great old relic, those are WWI soldiers so mold is likely about 100 years old.

Bought this old jewel a couple of weeks ago from a friend at the range. Have been wanting one for about 20 years or so but the opportunity did not arise until now. This is a Stevens Model 417 Walnut Hill .22 target rifle. Heavy barrel 28" , weighs about 10 1/2 pounds. All original, Lyman 48L re...

No, I dont want to take it out to dinner and drinks. :D I recently acquired a Stevens Walnut Hill model 417 target rifle. I know it was made between 1932 and 1940 or 1946 or 1947 depending on what book you use to look it up. It is serial numbered in only two places, those being the bottom of the rec...

Stumbled upon my copy of the 1939 edition of Stoeger's Gun Catalog and Handbook a few nights ago so have been thumbing through it. Stoegers' was the Midway type store of the day, 500 pages of guns, ammo, reloading, accessories, gunsmith tools, etc. Cameras too, along with real suits of medieval armo...

A couple of months ago, I read a really good 3-4 page article about the history of the Stevens 44 and 44 1/2 rifles, very detailed and informative article. I put it aside to save and, of course, cant find it now. Sure would like to be able to find it somewhere. If anyone remembers this and knows whe...

Great shot, sure would be nice to be able to trace those guys. Did you ever notice, looking at photos from the earliest days of photograph until about the end of WW1, the subjects are almost never smiling. In those days, having your portrait (photo) taken was serious business indeed, smiling would h...

A few months ago I read a lengthy article concerning the Stevens 44 and 44 1/2 rifle models. Now when I want it I cant find it. It was either in the Rifleman or in a Gun Digest book.

If anyone remembers this article and knows where to find it I would appreciate the info.

Thanks, everyone, for all your info. Ordered from Midway.

While in gunsmith school I picked up an RWS air rifle- cheap! Reason was the guys young son wasn't strong enough to get it all the way back, the spring had enough power to slam the barrel back and bend the barrel. The bend was very obvious looking down the bore. I mentioned it in class one day and ...

In the classifieds, how do I delete all my old ads that have sold and clear them out? Have searched diligently and cant find a "delete post" button.

jeepnik, it seems that happens with every game ever invented. IHMSA, for instance. Started off , all you needed was a revolver and maybe a Contender, iron sights of course. Only three classifications : revolver, production, offhand. Soon, there were people complaining because there was no classifica...

Regarding the gain of weight after quitting, my doctor told me long ago that I could gain a hundred pounds before I would damage my body as much as smoking a pack a day.

Been quit for 34 years now, dont miss it a bit, cant stand being downwind of a smoker.

This. Takes about 45 seconds to change out. Common occurance with these rifles.
