When I was a kid , we learned: George Washington 'gave' us a Republic, not a Democracy. He was a brilliant leader among a goup of uncommonly insightful political founders of our nation, who were admittedly a 'spirited' bunch. Hiroshima was a devastating but strategic military action which cost thou...

I'd not want to go spend $4,000 for an 'approved' hearing aid without first trying a $100 'shooting aid.' As a physician, my opinion is that once something is covered by INSURANCE, the quality deteriorates, and the cost escalates needlessly (look at health care overall!). I am fully aware that to an...

Yaz must be a lost twin of mine (sorry for him for the news); last year my son's PWD car was made to look like it had twin 'rocket' engines in the rear - made with two 45-70 jacketed hollow points glued onto the 'trunk' area. Mostly we were just experimenting by the reloading scale to see how much t...

I think you have to 'sign up' to get the load data, but I've found http://www.ammoguide.com to be helpful on that sort of thing. My printed out list is downstairs, and my connection too slow to just log on and answer you off their site, but I'll check my list and try to remember to post if I see any...

AJMD429, I will definitely have to look at this. You are right. I AM INTIMIDATED by the mere thought of reloading. You make it sound â€¦wellâ€¦at least manageableâ€¦LOL This sounds like a decent way for me to dip a toe into the deep waters of reloading. There is a guy here at the department that re...

Ron Paul is not a conservative, by the way, he's a Libertarian. I like a lot of that and hate some. The people who would consider the Libertarian party 'except for their position on ____' (usually the relegalization of drugs) are funny, because they'll turn around and vote Republican despite despit...

I'm not a historian but I think a photo of the right side of the action, and if possible top and bottom of receiver might help more - to show screw positions and so on. Somebody here will probably know exactly what it is.

Marlin 1889 - firing pin broke but hand-made a two-part one. Need to shoot it some and see if worth fixing up with better pin. Will post pic later.

I mounted my little Williams (I think it is the FP - long time since I bought it) on the FRONT scope holes, because I didn't want it back over the hammer area. Works fine for gongs. Going to find out if Bambi is similarly vulnerable next year... :twisted: The other gun in photo is Marlin's Puma 'twi...

Dr. Edgar Suter did a good article titled "Assault Weapons" Revisited -- An Analysis of the AMA Report. refuting some of the "assault weapon" nonsense http://www.dsgl.org/Articles/aw.htm . I think it was published in one of the state journals, but regardless, it is thorough. It d...

You'd think Marlin would have gone gangbusters since their other US rival in the levergun business is out of commission, but I'm sure the Puma's are giving them a run for their money. Additionally, there is the fact that guns generally last a LONG time - how many of us are shooting guns made over 10...

If I ever learn to reload I could then make this a moot point by increasing the load for the rifle...Correct? Don't be hesitant to reload! The first gun I ever reloaded for was a Super Blackhawk, and all you need to make your first batch is a mallet (I just used a broken hatchet handle) and this to...

At any rate, it looks like I put way too much stock in the freemasonrywatch website, and let my misinformation get the better of me. Sadly, I went so far as to come here and rant in a pretty irate fashion and I'm sorry. I'm pretty embarrased, but can't think of anything to say but I'm sorry. I'm wr...

Criminals ... Illegal aliens ... Liberals Now I was going to post an answer like that, but I didn't want you all to think I was that kind of feller... I can see how the third one would be viewed as politically incorrect, even though it is in jest. (Liberals usually just need hugs and a blankie, not...

You go, DavidF!! Ron Paul is the first guy running for president in years who's not gonna whore himself to the major media and rich corporations, and has the record in Congress to prove it. He's a breath of fresh air. That's why the major media is alternately making fun of and then ignoring him. -S...

AJMD429

Do you think that's because the pointy tip just still can't make that big fat bullet 'streamlined' enough to retain velocity well? (I don't know the ballistic coefficients involved.) I always figured with a large diameter bullet, unless you care to make it v-e-r-y long (way beyond the 'Hornady' prof...

1. What's the RMEF?

2. To me, the 450 seems like a good way to get what a .45-70 does without having a .45-70; I'm not exactly sure if there is a good reason to do that, other than a new toy

Howard Leight Impactâ„¢ Sport Earmuff - $59 Cabela's - best so far, in that they are a bit quieter as far as electronic hiss than the Peltor's I have - but my Peltor's are 10-15 years old, and very well made also. I think the Peltor 's use N and the Leight's use AA, but you literally will replace t...

If I had a daughter and some dude was abusive to her in any way. I'd probably be hauled away in handcuffs in no time flat. Men who beat women are half a notch above child molesters on the totem pole of scumbaggery. Not casting stones, and my comment is intended to be contemplated outside the realm ...

For sport.... :twisted: ...don't forget mice, rats, and BUGS! I used to blast rats at an open trash dump as a kid - LOVED it when they'd scurry behind an old ceramic toilet or sink. The 10/22 seemed like a Ma Deuce shattering an enemy bunker to me as a 12 year old kid. No more dumps like that around...

The "10-2=0" I like - it reminds me of the Christian 'fish' symbol - something not too flashy, but to those in the know it would mean 'fellow pro-gunner' and to those not in the know, maybe they'd ask and we could educate them. Might be a tad less intimidating to the non-gun crowd than wea...

Not to worry - all the LEO's were 'just doing their job' - they'd never go door to door confiscating people's guns - they'd quit first.

Yeah, right...

Kicking in the door of Joe deer hunter at 3 am doesn't look good. Yes, but when the news media reports it, 'Joe Deer Hunter' is simply renamed 'a suspected terrorist/arms dealer/drug dealer/baby killer/wife beater/spotted owl killer' and nobody outside the guy's circle of friends thinks much about ...

My breakopen one was a disappointment in that the 45 LC rounds have so much 'jump' to get to the rifling that I get 8" 5-shot groups at 25 yards OFF THE BENCH! I think I can throw rocks about that well. I've thought about reloading metal .410 shells or even just trying .454 Casull rounds in it,...

While others may disagree with me, I don't think the armed citizen poses much of a military threat to the governemnt. We have rifles, they have cluster bombs and Apache Helicopters. Keep in mind that tyranny and oppression do NOT usually involve the military type weapons, because unlike wars betwee...

Very old bullets I see now and then will have a white powdery coating which I can only assume is lead oxide of some sort, and thus would be rather toxic (unlike metallic lead, which despite media hype, is NOT a problem). I passed on a chance to buy really cheap 1,500 otherwise fine cast bullets due ...

If you can't account for a firearm that they have a record of you purchasing, the confiscating agency will MAKE you accountable. They will arrest, imprison, and interrogate you if you do not produce every article that they have paper or electronic records on. They may arrest, imprison and interroga...

NRA won the injunction, but the City's mayor and Board of Supervisors ignored the court order and approved a set of penalties

Too bad THEY won't get fined and prosecuted, the same way they wanted to do others.

AJMD429

They probably aren't going to just politely knock on doors and ask for firearms. Generally, they first register them on some lame pretext ('fighting crime' is hard to argue with, or 'protecting children' or whatever). Next, they license certain ones, again for some seemingly noble reason. Like the p...

I always thought the best "warranty" service for most guys would be a toll-free number where when you dial in, instead of asking a bunch of questions and you having to return the product and wait, they just asked you what kind of ammunition you needed, and sent you a box so you could take ...

Evidently not the LAST Republican we elected as the 'lesser of two evils' - sure, he didn't enact the worst bill possible, but like usual, a 'moderate' Republican allows the camel's nose under the tent. It's not always the 'intent' or the way a law will be enforced by honest government, that you sho...

"I'd say buy whichever stainless Marlin you want, have it beadblasted, put a Williams receiver sight on it, and enjoy it. Sooner or later, get a tuned M92. " If you like the .357 Marlin, and want stainless, consider Ro-bar or some sort of similar finishing. .357 vs. .44 is also a little l...

Sounds like a 32-20 to me also. I remember when I was in 9th or 10th grade walking into my principal's office with my .32-20 "high capacity" lever action rifle, and asking if he would keep it in the office safe for me during afternoon classes. (I'd picked it up from the gun shop over lunch...

I'm on my way out the door to instruct a womens self defense course to nurses that treat homebound patients. Most of them have been groped by some elderly, but still frisky, males. The danger is that predators learn to pattern the nurses visits and then they have them already trapped in a house. Po...

Right now, my Stainless 20" Marlin 44 Magnum with Williams Peep mounted in the forward scope mount holes, and a nylon quick-adjust sling, and Winchester 240 SP factory loads. I'd like to try the .357 with stiff loads though, or one of the 357 Special Magnum conversions (http://ammoguide.com/?ca...

We occasionally have them around in groups, and one time I went back to the place they were hanging out and just lay down. After maybe 30 minutes, they started soaring (they had been mostly sitting in a dead tree with one sometimes fluttering around some). Two or three came my way, and I was just cu...

We finally got to the point where we have the KIDS do the decorating - starting when the oldest was about 12, they knew how to do all the basics; our only 'lights' are on the tree and around the livingroom on nails already there, so no 'electric' stuff a kid couldn't handle. They LOVE doing it. We j...

I remember in that same time frame the old pull-tabs people would join into 'chains' and it was a tacky dorm-room thing for those of us who consumed lots of beer.

I know...there's a million (or more :D ) Marlins out there that have never had an ejector failure. But...mine failed and locked the rifle's action up when it did. It wasn't in a hunting situation, but it ruined an afternoon of shooting just the same. It failed like I imagine most of them fail...whi...

Ethical Defense (self or national) is derived from a moral imperative: "No human being has the right, under ANY circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, nor to advocate or delegate its initiation." I agree. People made fun of Reagan's "star wars" defense con...

Got my first .22 around age five (single shot), and my first "semiautomatic assault weapon" (Ruger 10/22) around age 12. Next gun was a Mark I, then Super-Blackhawk, then M-77 bolt gun in 6mm. Then off to college. Got my first BB gun at age 32, to shoot (seriously!) walnuts off the tree we...

You can lead horses to water, but it hard as heck to drown them... Perhaps you could get more people to at least NOTICE the stickies if you made the "titles" in either a huge font , or bright red letters , or something? Just trying to think of things you could maybe do without too much tro...

A pistol made on a 10/22 receiver. They want the police market. Shoulda' figured that out when they supported the ten round mag law.

So far, my Taurus tang sights on my Rossi's have all (4) worked well enough to keep me in 4" at 100 yards. Maybe 50 .454 Casull rounds and 200 .44 Mag & .357 rounds per the various guns. They are all relatively new, purchased from Cheaper Than Dirt website if I recall. Seem tight and reason...
