Good afternoon
John wrote me this am and stated he was feeling somewhat better and energetic. He did ask anyone who is willing to keep praying for him.

Greetings Growing up in SW Michigan there were hundreds of ground hogs about. Several fellers used 25-20's and lost lots of them getting back into their holes. There just is very little "thwap" in tough big ground hogs. Hogs ? Maybe if they weigh under 25 pounds I would consider it. We hav...

Greetings
The statistics relate that about 80% of crime is accomplished by repeat offenders. So simple math tells me eliminate the repeat offenders. The streets just became very safe. The other vile persons just may wake up... at least until they are eliminated .

Good morning
That is a good idea. Save a lot of pocket wear and would tend to stay in one place fine. Should also help the ladies with the extra mag in a purse.

missionary5155

That is a fine handsome rifle ! That scope looks like it was made to sit there.
If that chamber had any issue I think a 22 Hornet would be my choice. You did very well !

missionary5155

Good morning It was disheartening to read the further corruption going on with the Scouts. Did near two years as an Assistant Scout Master with Troop 2 in Germany years back when it was still a good unashamed God /Country centered organization. From what I read today it is a whole "new order&qu...

Greetings
I would buy it for $600.
If you want to go to a 50-100 be prepared to have to modify every aspect of the feed / loading system. We turned a 45-70 into a 50 Alaskan and it does require a lot of work. Not impossible but just be prepared to discover all sorts of minor issues to work through.

missionary5155

Good morning Been using receiver "peep" sights since the Army turned me loose in 74. Fast to sight, as accurate in all hunting conditions I have used them. Off cross sticks or complete hand / body held rifles with a peep sight has won all the long range matches since the 1880's. The longer...

GREETINGS Used to get them in our house down here in Arequipa. Put rubber "sweeps" made from firm truck inner tubes on the outside of our exterior doors. No more scorpions in the house. The villages I go to weekly the boys eat the little grey buggers that are up there. Pin then down with a...

missionary5155

Greetings That looks fine from down here in LLama Land ! A bit of tweeking and it should cut right along. Home built is an adventure. Grew up in SW Michigan and that looks similar to a saw rig a neighbor had out at his place. But he had some kind of "motor" on it that burned a fuel. There ...

missionary5155

Greetings First Caliber... Have shot all sorts of critters with 30-30 and 32 Win Special. Same weight / type bullet hit in the same spot, direction and range you cannot tell any difference. I just like the caliber 32 as it was my first center fire caliber. The post 64's receivers were made of that &...

missionary5155

Greetings Before you dump anything in the "bin" try calling a nearby "military type Museum". They may be looking for some items for a display. When we are up north there in the U.S. of A. I volunteer at our Vermilion County War Museum. All sorts of items families were going to tr...

missionary5155

Greetings
If your going to jump back in then why hold back. Go for a CCL 41 mag ! That will cure you real fast.

missionary5155

Again... If you want an instant solution... Shorten some split neck brass so you can get shooting. You will have to do the trial and error route. You may have to go .010 = - some. Start with just one and get your length. When the bullet is just bumping the rifling shorten another .005. You want just...

missionary5155

Good morning Another vote for throating that barrel. I would put together a dummy round using a 400 grainer and use that as the guide. Then you are set to hunt really big critters. If you throat for a 350 you will be doing it again in the future if you want a heavy thumper. Remember the 45-70 was or...

missionary5155

Thank you for posting this Pitchy !!! Model trains are a great hobby ! Nice back yard layout ! My dad would have drove up to see it all.

missionary5155

Good morning
That is a good one ! Looks like several owners over the years took care of that 44 WCF. It is a blessing to see that fine old rifle out in the air again.
Mike in Peru

missionary5155

Greetings
Will also be praying for God to intervene and eliminate that growth.

missionary5155

Good morning If the 375 Payne is just the 348 opened up in diameter I would think there would be little issue doing the transformation. Last time up north we sent our Winchester 86 (jap) 26" octagon to JES REBORING to get rifled to .512 and chambered to 50 Alaskan. That conversion requires all ...

missionary5155

That is a good pan to find. When we first were married in 75 we went yard sailing hunting Griswold Iron. Still using them here in Peru and when up in ILLinois.

missionary5155

Will be praying for your surgery and recovery. God has a purpose in all things.

missionary5155

I thought you got this so you could find all those long forgotten shooters.

missionary5155

Good morning
This is the Secretary who already announced that changes in Federal "Controlled" land is going Pro-Hunting. Also Concelled Carry is going to be allowed.
Yea.. I like this hunter / shooter also.

missionary5155

Thanks to God that was not far worse.

missionary5155

Interesting all the different "points" individuals have as their personal lock points. Mine is my right thumb 2nd knuckle on the right cheek bone. Puts the string and arrow directly in front of my right eye.

missionary5155

Greetings When we return north up there I start with a 45 # Bear for about a week. Then move to the 50# for a week. Then into a 52# short bow I use in tree stands. I hunt river bottoms and that 52# generally punches the carbon arrows I use clean through the chests. But most my shots are under 12 yar...

missionary5155

I am so blessed our up north there home is in a "Lead OK" part of our country...

missionary5155

Nice old Browning ! Hard to think of one of his designs that was not robust and reliable. Much copied but seldom surpassed.

missionary5155

Greetings
Cannot imagine the PSI it would take to "remodel" a ROA. That had to be one ball of fire and up close !
I figure if a chamber full of 3f cannot get the job done it is time for the 50 Alaskan.
Mike in Peru

missionary5155

Greetings Been popping corn crunchers with muzzle loaders since for many years. Started with a caliber .58 Zuoave , then moved to flint smoothbores in .58 up to .69. More recently have been hauling 1819 (1826 vintage) Hall breech loader about. But only have had two 3 hour opportunities. If I could e...

missionary5155

Greetings Have had to deal with this issue on an original 1892. First.. does the sight have downward pressure on the elevator ? You may need to increase that pressure. Second.. Carefully view the steps on the elevator. Are they parallel to the barrel or slanted so as to cause the elevator to slip of...

missionary5155

That looks like a whole herd of fun.
Good way to put to use some of the odds and ends sitting in the scrap pile.

missionary5155

Good morning
Hard to beat a good circular rotating magazine fed exposed hammer self cocker bored in something that starts with a 4 !

Good morning
A snowy day is great for tracking pheasants ! Some of the best pheasant hunting I was involved in was with a snowy covering fresh from early morning. Wabbits if there are no pheasant tracts.
Mike in Peru

missionary5155

Greetings Removing the "rebound" garbage is easy. Remove the rear stock. You will notice a extra lever leg that runs under the hammer. Think of it as the left leg. That is the one you want to remove. The right leg directly acts on the hammer as should be. With the hammer at rest pull the t...

missionary5155

Good morning
Thank you for that fine hunting report from good ol Poland ! That had to be a good time there. Those European bores get huge ! It is amazing how the 06 will still wack-em down.

missionary5155

Good morning
The 10mm is a fine powerful thumper to tote around the bushes. Not to many "critters" will take more than one good solid "thwap" to be properly convinced they should have considered walking the other way.

missionary5155

Good morning
Well I guess I better be looking for a staff to lean on...
Oldest has finished his years in the National Guard.... Youngest is 14...
And everyone of them is a shooter ! Happy to have been a "good grandpa" !

missionary5155

Howdy 6
That is one fine S&W ! Does the heart good to see these still floating about and in the hands of a shooter.
Mike in Peru

missionary5155

Have a 41 mag and a suppressor would be fun. But the sad state of ILLinois is getting beyond hope.

missionary5155

And popping crows is a great public service ! You are a fine example for the younger generation to follow.
That also is a good multiple selection of critters.

missionary5155

Good morning
Go to Buds Gun shop and do a search at the web site. I think he must list neat 100% of the common manufacturers production list.

missionary5155

It is interesting how often this question does pop up. Reloading manuals have been around for all my reloading life and my dad's. If a 95% 45-70 load of one listed in a manual is not enough "power" to do the needed job get closer. Or as the wise have often done .. get a bigger bore gun. I ...

missionary5155

Well that wrench is unique ! I would sit it out and let all the visitors get a good eye full. Should start some interesting conversations.

missionary5155

Take a look at a revolver in 44 mag that has fired countless full power loads. How come there is a mark on the rear receiver where the case head gets pushed into the frame ? How come Contenders lock up with high pressure rounds if there is no bolt thrust ? How come Ken Waters in his excellent loadin...

missionary5155

It is the same story with the 73. Receivers did not "fail". But they do stretch. Pins bend and toggles crack. Then the action gets "crunchy" or stiff as you try to work it. Most people figure out something is very wrong.

missionary5155

I understand the principle involved with the case gripping the chamber walls. But there still is thrust on the bolt. Depending on the cartridge more than others. But there still is thrust. If not why do all rifles have heavy locking lugs of some type ? Ever hear about a bolt that lifted hard after f...

missionary5155

Greetings
Very nice photos as always !
Now if you could get close to a wolf !

missionary5155

...And today's generation has all sorts of medical issues ! Eating dirt is the best way to be exposed to all the nasty little bugs that surround us. Ingest then through the digestion while well and the body builds immunities. Ingest them at the doctors office while ill and now you have a double wamm...

Maybe if you give it a dose of cooked cabbage it would git straightened out.
