+1. Easy to find (Walmart sewing section), inexpensive, works as well as any of the "wonder lubes" on the market.

Paying up for top quality is something you'll rarely regret. Beautiful guns!

I don't know what these things are, but it always strikes me as humorous when someone says, "This thing defied the laws of physics" -- as if we really KNEW the laws of physics...

Pisgah

Sure, they'll work. Since bullets meant for the .30-30 are generally constructed to expand at slower speeds than the .308 or .30-06 you may find that they tend to come apart on large game.

I wish I had an answer for you, but this country has neither the legal ways nor the medical means to adequately address the mental health needs of its citizens, veteran or no. I have a cousin who has suffered from extreme mental illness for decades, beginning with his Navy service in Vietnam, and al...

Not only have I eaten every item on the list, but I have ingredients on hand to make 90% of them.

My best friend and 40+ year hunting buddy and I have often lamented our mutual lifelong lack of financial success. Not that either of us is poor, but while we chugged along others we knew rocketed to comparative great wealth. Why them and not us?, we wonder. And generally we reach the conclusion tha...

Here I've just signed the sweetest hunting lease of my lifetime, with a season of expense and work ahead to get it ready for opening day -- and you go and post a siren-like distraction like the Achilles. Dang it, Jim! Shooting that has to be one powerfully satisfying thing...

My .44 Spec and .45 LC lead bullet plinking loads all gain right around 200 fps when shot from a 20" barrel vs. 6" to 7.5" revolvers.

I can relate! I opened up our family's cabin in the mountains of western NC this week. Neatened up the yard, made a couple of minor repairs , gave the place a good cleaning, and made a to-do list for this year's projects. Enough work in a day to guarantee a good night's sleep, relaxing in a most sat...

>My unprofessional guess is that Ruger did them in like Ruger did with the Great Western single actions.

They were made by JP Sauer & Sohn in West Germany.

It’s illegal to hunt from a moving watercraft here. Here, it's illegal to SHOOT from a water conveyance, but not to use a canoe to transport yourself to the hunting ground. A friend and I have often canoed the nearby Tyger River to National Forest lands where we find lots of deer -- and never anoth...

I am seeing some interesting material on Federal's Punch .22lr load. Designed for personal defense, 29 gr. lead flat point, 1070 FPS -- out of a 2" barrel! A couple of gel test videos I have seen show penetration of 10 to 16" or so depending on barrel length, with good temporary and perman...

Once upon a time I had a Marlin 336 collection that at its peak numbered somewhere in the 30s. All were shot, and any one of them could pretty much deliver a 2 moa group with no bother. Some loads shot better than others in some guns, but most anything did at least okay in all of those guns. The bes...

I ain't much for all this newfangled stuff, but this here .357 has got me curious...

Pisgah

Ever since the .44 Magnum came to be people have clamored for lever action carbines -- so much so that early on conversion of Winchester 1892s to the new magnum were popular. So it's nothing new.

Pisgah

Lookin' good! A round-butt K-frame with a T-grip -- the absolutely perfect combo for my hand.

Pisgah

The reason you'll not find any really low-velocity loads with jacketed bullets has nothing to do with expansion but rather the fact that they have a higher coefficient of friction than cast bullets. Go too slow, even just a few FPS, and you risk a bullet sticking in the bore. Don't ever go lower tha...

I could swear that was my work...

Through 54 years of hunting them I have seen several white but non-albino deer, and many, many piebalds. One corner of our county is noted for a high proportion of piebald. deer. Exactly once I have seen a true albino, killed by a friend's son.

I've cut a couple of big rubber bands from an old bicycle inner tube to do the job. These work well, are easy to remove when you don't need the ight, nothing scratched and no adhesive residue to clean off.

Pisgah

Yes, you can probably shim it enough to make it work. But the real solution is to get rid of the see-thru mount. They don't really allow you to use the scope or the sights very effectively.

My mother, 89, has had both shoulders replaced within the past 14 months. She did fine.

I am not complying with any government mandates. What I am doing is following the sensible precautions that physicians I know and trust have given me. Those precautions just happen to be pretty much the same as the government's strictest guidelines. No one has to order me in from the rain.

Two observations: 1.Everything you see in the media is broadcast for the purpose not of informing you, but of selling you something. It may be toothpaste or a car; it may be some political idea. Whatever. 2. Unfortunately, these days most people don't want both sides of the story, so the more one-si...

No surprise here. Fine gun, fine cartridge. Congratulations!

For me, it's a Kel-Tec KS7 12 ga., with light and Sig Romeo red dot sight. As short as the Mossberg and Remington shorties but with an 18" barrel and a shoulder stock.

Pisgah

Since my opinion of all so-called social media is that they are all completely anti-social it's no surprise to me they're considered anti-anything-else. Like the common addiction to network TV news, Facebook et al are at best a colossal waste of anyone's time and energy, and utterly destructive of c...

I've always thought it ironic that reality has always been the opposite of what the song implies -- ready to roll over and accommodate any invader, but as aggressive as Nazi Germany towards other nations. Yeah, the French backing was a big factor in our winning independence, but on the other hand Fr...

I bought a Chinese cheapo version of the Janus bikes back in March, a Dongfang DF250 RTG. Powered by a Chinese copy of the Honda CB125 engine, bored out to 229 cc, it makes 16 hp and will do 70 -- briefly, under ideal conditions. But around town or country cruising at 45-55 mph, it's the bee's knees...

I just treated myself to a very similar rifle, CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62x39. Over the weekend I put on Millet rings and a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24 scope. Sunday PM a measly shipment of Tulammo and Wolf softpoint ammo showed up via Fedex, and yesterday early I went out to the range to sight her in. I ...

Leave the hood or remove it -- personal choice. Some folks like to leave it in place when they go to a peep sight. Me, I take 'em off even with the issue sights. Most folks find that when they put on a receiver sight they need a higher front sight because the receiver sight is higher than the standa...

You have to track them to their lair by reading the sign -- "HOT NOW!"

I've owned two 94's of 1980's vintage and both required the lever be firmly squeezed to activate the trigger. I eventually got used to it, but it took a while, and neither rifle became a favorite of mine because of this "feature".

You know what's really intolerable to me? Whenever an American's right to protest against whatever they wish is denied, so long as they are doing no violence to anyone. I don't have to agree with them or even listen to them -- or watch a stupid football game.

Imagine that! A black Democrat who is also an honorable, sensible, right-thinking human being! Who'd'a thunk it???

Believe as you wish, my friend. As of today, I have had 6 friends ranging in age from 45 to 81 die with the virus. One, 55 years old, had been diagnosed with colon cancer and had just finished his final treatment a month before he came down with it and had been celebrating his last report of "n...

What vintage is your 336? I can't recall what date the change occurred, but they used to be made with two positions, or slots, that the hammer spring retainer (actually called the "hammer spring adjustment plate" in some schematics) could be put in to. Sometimes, folks would move the retai...

Not saying that's not a heckuva load, but you need to know that TKO is a virtually meaningless number for most hunting loads except in specific circumstances. Specifically, TKO was intended to compare the stunning effect of a head shot on REALLY big game like rhino and elephant. In other words, how ...

You can get all the same benefits without joining an anti-2A organization. That alone is a deal breaker Truth.

I've only seen one situation of guns that rusted that badly and that quickly. A friend kept all his guns and reloading equipment in a small heated shed attached to his house. All went well for several years, until he got a swimming pool. Suddenly, all his guns and reloading stuff started rusting lik...

btw the covid19 stuff is total BS.... Wish that were true. Around here, the number of new cases has exploded since Memorial Day and the opening of beaches and restaurants, with multiple deaths reported each day of people of all ages from toddler to 90-year-old instead of one old-timer a week or so....
