I just found this one for sale on a local board. He's even in my town, but do you think he's going to be getting a call from me, inquiring about the sale of his rifle? Not a chance. On a nicer note, a friend of mine found a 9422M on a bulletin board in a grocery store earlier this fall for $150.00. ...

There's a store here in town that specializes in the EBRs, and according to a guy I talked to who went in to buy some ammo, the line at the counter went all the way to the front door, and every semi auto in the place had been sold except for two. He'd never seen it that busy before.

The band that broke is the one at the muzzle. It's still on the gun, it just doesn't hold the mag tube and barrel together properly anymore. The rifle has the saddle ring on the receiver too, and that is a factory bit. Mr. Brophy's son lives here in Fairbanks and he had extra gold plated saddle ring...

AkRay

Stories like Bill's make me think $600.00 or so in the form of a second safe from Sams Club is cheap insurance against such a smash and grab loss. I'm not criticizing anyone, just reflecting that maybe it's time for me to gather up some of the guns from closets and other hiding places and secure the...

The barrel band on my Marlin MOD. 1894 in .44 magnum broke when I was shooting the rifle. The band looked a little boogered up when I bought the gun, but I didn't think it would break. Do any of you guys have a spare barrel band for sale that would fit an older (1971 manufacture) gun? It has a 16&qu...

I think it would make a very handy hiking, hunting, plinking and self defense gun. You'd have an 8 or 9 shot capacity. With a sling it would be much handier than a 20" 1894, and should be easier to shoot accurately than any revolver. If you have a chance to buy one, I'd say do it.

Sixgun, the driver probably suffered a momentary apoplectic seizure when he drove by and saw the signs in your yard. You rocked a fantasy world with your real one.

AkRay

I'm mad just reading about your rifle and looking at the pictures, Joe. It's a shame that someone could mess up your rifle the way these ham handed buffoons did. On a lighter note, if I were you, I wouldn't let them handload any ammo for you to shoot in your rifle.

AkRay

Thanks Hobie. I'll see what happens with this one.

AkRay

I'm assuming these are fairly hard to find, and I don't own the rifle. Condition is supposed to be excellent. Does $700.00 sound like too much money to pay for one?

AkRay

The guy I bought it from was under the impression that these rifles were fairly easy to get, and that I might even be able to find a new one over at Sportsman's Warehouse. I asked him how long they'd had it and he thought it had been about 5 years since they bought it new. I didn't think he was righ...

AkRay

I went to look for reloading components yesterday, and found bullets but no brass. 100 bullets make a small package when you compare them to others. I did find one box of factory ammo on the shelf at Sportsman's Warehouse for $73.99, and that box of ammo is still sitting there. I'll try a couple oth...

AkRay

I saw it on a table at the show and let it sit for a day. I thought there would be other things I could buy. It was wearing a scope and was priced at $475.00. The next day, I had just sold a gun and the money was burning a hole in my pocket. I went back to look at a different gun, and saw that this ...

According to knowledgeable sources, there is no way to render an unpopped primer inert. That is, there isn't a solvent or oil that you can treat them with that will ruin them. When whatever is is dries off the primer, the primer will be ready to go again. I finally used some old primers my bro in la...

AkRay

I think the gun I saw was a semi automatic, so it's not quite the same as this one.

AkRay

I passed on one of these older guns new in box, or at least excellent condition in box for $175.00. I was buying a NM Blackhawk in 45 Colt from the guy and didn't think I should buy a shotgun too. The guy who offered it to me had just found it at a garage sale and was feeling guilty about buying it,...

AkRay

I know this isn't a lever action, but there is a wide range of knowledge here. This would be a Grade 1 BAR in .338 Win Mag. Condition is 97% or so, with nice wood, and the rifle has iron sights and 2 magazines. What is a good real world price for this rifle? I'm a potential buyer, not a seller. Than...

AkRay

I once went to buy a Colt Python that a local store had in their display case. The price was reduced as they were selling out their old stock, and the price wasn't bad. When I examined the gun in the store though, it had so much finish wear that I couldn't bring myself to buy it. The bluing was worn...

I've been trying for grouse for the last week or so. I saw 3 or 4 ruffed grouse this weekend, but they'd all been educated by other hunters that men with guns are bad, and they flushed before I knew they were there. I did get one shot, but the grouse was in thick brush and I missed a head shot with ...

AkRay

I know a guy who knew Elmer. That's almost close enough. My friend told me that Keith worked with him one day and got him to the point where he could shoot aerial targets with his single action revolver. He said he hasn't been able to shoot aerial targets since that time though. I guess the coach ma...

AkRay

Looks like an up to the 70s update of the Lemat. I wouldn't mind one of these. Bet it cost a ton to convert a Smith & Wesson though.

AkRay

I realized my error as soon as I hit the "submit" button. Popular? That's a very poor word choice.

AkRay

Do the Legacy 9422Ms have the crossbolt safety, or were they made before these became popular?

AkRay

What is the ballpark price on a Winchester Legacy in .22 magnum? These are the rifles with the pistol grip stock, aren't they? I have a chance at one ANIB for $500.00. If I were to get it, it would be headed for the woods with a box or two of ammo in pursuit of hares and grouse or other suitable tar...

AkRay

It's time for a red dot sight or a low magnification scope. I will probably be there myself before too long.

AkRay

I've been thinking about using an aperture sight too. That would preserve the handling qualities of this rifle. I do want a scope for the low light conditions that I will encounter, but an aperture sight might fill the bill too. My father in law used a peep on his A3-03 for years, and shot several m...

AkRay

I have some factory ammo coming, and I think it's all the 200 gr ammo. I'm going to scope it eventually too, but will probably have to wait until next hunting season to do that. I want to set this rifle up to be my moose hunting rifle.

AkRay

I don't see a photo either. This sounds like a neat idea and would work great for snowshoe hares, grouse and ptarmigan.

AkRay

My Rossi pump .22 is the first rifle I ever bought for myself. My parents used to take us to Ambler, AK every summer and the local lodge that had a gunstore was going out of business. My friend George rode by on his 3 wheeler with one in his hand, and he told me about the sale. They were selling out...

AkRay

I backed the seating die off several turns to make sure the case isn't being crimped too soon, and I took the seating stem from my .348 dies to seat these bullets with. So far it's working great. I took the rifle out and shot it last night, and so far I like it. The recoil is there but is not too ba...

AkRay

Thanks for the tip about chamfering the case mouth, Hobie. I haven't tried that. I might also go and see if I can get another seating stem in a different shape, or if the same shape, to epoxy. The next loads I do will be done without worrying about crimping the bullets. I might even try some of the ...

AkRay

The bullets I'm loading are a flat base design and wouldn't enter the case mouths easily so I expanded the brass with the expander plug from my .357 magnum dies. I expanded them just enough so the bullets would go without catching the case and crushing it. I'll shoot these loads and the next ones I ...

AkRay

I've been working on some .358 Winchester reloads and I have some questions. I bought a '79 BLR which is my first Browning and a well made rifle. I brought it to show a gunsmith here in town. While I was in his shop, I also bought 4 boxes of Winchester factory .358 brass and a set of RCBS reloading ...

AkRay

None of the Belgian BLRs are chambered for the .358 Winchester cartridge, so I'll have to go with the Japanese manufacture if I'm going to have one of those. I'll put up with some other shortcomings for that.

AkRay

I have a Benjamin 342 that I used to hunt snowshoe hares and spruce and ruffed grouse and willow ptarmigan 30 years ago. I started with a Crosman 760, but my friend Stan's Benjamin air rifle was much more powerful than my 177. He and I learned to aim very carefully, because a miss meant loading a pe...

AkRay

I think I've seen one Timberwolf before, but I didn't buy it. I remember reading about them in the gun magazines back in the 80s, I think. I was interested, but never enough to look hard for one. As an aside, my father in law said good things about chelation therapy, and how it helps to improve circ...

AkRay

The Smith & Wesson .44 magnum was all the gun EMK ever needed to carry. I started with one in 8 3/8", but went to a 4 5/8" Bisley in .500 Linebaugh which had a LOT of recoil. I wanted pure penetrating power. My gun was converted by Phillips and Rodgers, and I don't think everything was...

AkRay

From the description of the recoil, I would have guessed it was a .358 Winchester. I'm interested in seeing pictures too, especially with the scope mounted. I'll be getting a BLR in 358 myself within the next couple of weeks.

AkRay

I hate to change my rifles. If they came from the factory without sling swivels, I usually don't add them. It about killed me to add a set to my Winchester 670, but they don't take any of the value away, and the swivels turned the rifle into a true hunting tool. I also added a set to an old beaten u...

AkRay

Thanks for all the information about BLRs in .358 Winchester. I'm really looking forward to getting mine now. One more question though. Do they come with sling swivels, or will I have to add those on my own?

AkRay

I should have one within the next couple of weeks. It's a '79 manufacture steel frame gun. Condition isn't perfect, but was rated at 85% or so for the blue, and about the same for the wood. Bore is in excellent condition, at about 95%. I still haven't seen the gun, but the fella I'm buying it from t...

AkRay

Looks like at least one of those calves has a spot for antlers to grow some day.

AkRay

I've never heard of the Pam idea before. I'll have to try it. My Dan Wesson .22 revolver seems to be a particularly bad offender when it comes to this kind of build up on the cylinder. Maybe this tip will cure it.

AkRay

I must be old and experienced now because I've seen that exact thing on some of my guns' cylinders. I even recognized it for what it is. I've felt stupid before about other gun related, shooting questions, but I don't think I ever have about this particular one. We probably only get to stop feeling ...

Isn't cable a doctor?

We had a silver salmon fillet that we caught in Valdez, along with some noodles. I made a campfire and grilled it over the coals to add a slightly smoky flavor. I kind of like it that way. I had the leftovers the next day when I got home from work. Grilled salmon is something that's even good cold.

AkRay

I'd be careful about shooting someone else's reloads from a gunshow. If you mean you bought some old factory ammo that's a different matter, but unless you know the person who reloaded the ammo, or they're a commercial reloader, I wouldn't shoot them in my gun. Too much room for trouble.

AkRay

Don't forget "Hannie Caulder." That's my favorite Raquel Welch western.

AkRay

The dies are threaded and adjustable, so all you do is unscrew them to take them apart. My sizing die was expensive and hard to replace, so I got a dowel of approximately the same diameter as the sizing die, along with various fine grades of sandpaper and carefully polished the inside of the die out...

developers and realtors? They're a profession like anyone else and they're not all without ethics, but these problems wouldn't be happening without their involvement.
