Hope the day was good guys!

Walker

Thanks, taking the day off and heading to the range.

Walker

I'm in the same boat, distance is fine but the front sight is extremely blurred without my reading glasses. Just recently discovered that if I center the darkest part of the fuzzy front sight on the target I shoot almost as well as with reading glasses. Guess point shooting is next.

I don't want to think about what happened to the rifle these went with...

Walker

It's good to have friends... hope this doesn't zero out my karma balance

Walker

Posts like this are a good reason to stick around. Very nice.

Walked into my local gunshop and was handed 6 boxes of 375winchester, both 200gr and 250gr. They were turned in to be destroyed and I promised to see that they didn't fall into the wrong hands...

Believe the 94BB is going for a walk in a few weeks.

Lord help us.

One of my favorites and left me wanting an 86 src in 50-110 BADLY!

Walker

Nath, you should think about publishing your own calendar.

Walker

Thanks Doc, I'll remember that one.

Walker

Fine rifle! Wish I had 1 tenth your skills.

Walker

Happy trails Brother.

Walker

Congratulations, you stole that one. Yes, these were factory drilled and tapped for receiver sights.

Walker

Very sorry to hear of this. It sounds like he was a great man and father.

Walker

Happy Birthday Jim!

Walker

Wow, they went quick. I placed an order as soon as the notification went out. Guess quite a few had notices set.

Walker

Dang, my legs hurts just thinking about it. The first working horse I rode made straight for a low hanging branch that just cleared the saddle. I bounced better back then. Hope you feel better soon.

Walker

For you 375win shooters...

Walker

Nice find! I've only shot 45-90 and 33wcf, someone will come along with 40-65 experience.

Walker

This little carbine if FUN. Some of my coworkers wanted to have a 'focus meeting' at the local pistol range, so I haven't shot it at 50 or 100 yards yet, but with S&B ammo, it's very easy to hit with off hand. Once I got the merit aperture in the right spot on my shooting glasses, I was shooting...

Walker

Thanks fellas, right place right time for once. Taking her to the range Thursday and will let you know how it likes the S&B ammo I found at the show.

Walker

Thanks Gentlemen, I'll get it to the range and report back soon.

Walker

Del Mar fairgrounds in San Diego county. The gentleman was selling his brother's guns. He had an original Henry, an agentine mauser carbine and a trench shotgun. All looked nice.

Walker

Sorry for the lousy photos. Just ran to the gun show yesterday and on the way out saw this. Don't know how it got past me on the first run through, but grabbed it quick. Several guys were fondling it as the transaction was being completed. Winchester 94 src 25-35, manufactured 1910. Bore is a bit du...

Walker

Here's to our Fathers. Buried mine 5 years ago today. Wish I'd moved back home after the Navy and spent more time with him.

For you fellows with kids, job well done.

Walker

...and I enjoyed reading each one.

Walker

Thanks Guys. I'm not currently into long distance shooting but was curious. Interesting information especially on black powder in the longer barrels. Much appreciated,

Terry

Walker

Saw a couple of 32 inch barrels offered recently, in 45-70 and 45-90. Just wondering if anyone here shot the longer barrels and if the barrel length makes a real difference in long range shooting.

Was very fortunate to grow up in the shadow of several men who came back from WWII and Korea. Eternally grateful for their selflessness and their friendship.

Walker

Thank you Nath. Always good to see your part of the world.

Walker

Outstanding! Need to do the same myself; I'm at 200 and need to be around 180.

Walker

That's what I was told too. Don't eat'em without doing that.

Must be why I've always heard it pronounced Polk. Grandma's family left Lousiana after the civil war and traveled through Texas into Arkansas. Grandparents gave up farming and moved to Bixby in the 50's.

Walker

I never liked mustard or turnip greens because of the bitterness either. Grandma did something that took that out of polk greens, maybe it was boiling it then draining the water and boiling it again.

Walker

I grew up just south of Tulsa. Grandma was a farmer's wife, used to scramble eggs with it. Pretty good seasoned with bacon. She stopped fixing it late in life because she couldn't pick it without getting into some poison ivy.

Walker

Wonder how many new Texans (ex-Californians) are behind this...

Walker

Good luck! I might have borrow that target idea but upsize it to a paper plate just so I can see it at 100yds.

Walker

Came along too late for Davy Crockett, but didn't miss an episode of Dan'l Boone. Got to watch the Crockett movies with Mr. Parker on his winery's lawn though. Nice man, I miss him.

Walker

Feel your pain Doc. I've been on ubuntu for a long time but still have to troubleshoot my wife's laptop and school system. At work, we've got VMs set up and use clonezilla to dump images anytime a configuration changes. Anything goes south, we just restore the previous good image.

Walker

Carlsen, that rifle is drool worthy. My 257 is an old Winchester model 54 with a 20 inch medium-heavy barrel restocked by Pachmayr's old master smith Freddy Bruner. I got lucky as it loves hornady custom 117gr ammo.

Nice! Shrapnel, can you tell us about the 86 in the first pic?

Thanks,

Terry

Walker

Hope it's a good day.

Walker

Hadn't thought of the Skinner sight, thanks! Might take a look at the XO sight too.

Walker

Plan is to use citrustrip and wrap the stocks in aluminum foil and let sit, then wash with mineral spirits and repeat. I've got some of the old winchester stain/oil mix I was planning to use. If the wood is too mismatched, I can tint the mix a bit more. Used to do a lot of custom kitchen refinishing...

Browning 71 short rifle was traded in locally. Still waiting to pick it up, so no pics. Just curious if anyone has had their Browning bolt milled for the replica 98a peep that oldgunsights sells. My old Winchester had one and I really liked having the peep without it hanging off of the receiver. I k...

Maybe I should buy a label maker instead of scotch...

Even with getting soaked, looks like a fine way to spend the day Nath.
