Sweet! Love it!

Very nice! What caliber....45-70?

Personally, I believe that we tend to label things such as groups rather haphazardly. I tend to consider myself a liberal. I desire a liberal interpretation of my rights; a liberal aplication of available punishment for those who violate my rights; a liberal education, as in more is better than les...

Victor, I so sorry to hear of Daily's condition. My prayers go up for you and her. A good dog is a blessing from God...may you be blessed for many years.

What powder and how many grains do I use with this?? LOL

The smaller projectile is a .50BMG 690 Grain bullet. Big silver is 30MM and 9660 grains.

alnitak

Joe, prayers continue to go up for you and your family...hang in there and don't lose hope!

alnitak

I like it, especially the NtLt version!

alnitak

Good thought, Doc. Thanks.

alnitak

Thanks all for the good suggestions. I will probably do some combination of the fishing line, JB Weld and/or the spring coil for a lock washer. Sounds like they will do the trick without significant effort. Now I have to go find a hammer replacement. Found out last night (after installing the mainsp...

alnitak

If it does stick through inside, just open the lever/bolt and trim it off flush with the inner wall. Possibly a very thin washer under the screw head would do the trick also. At the hardware store,look at drywall mollies. They have a hardened paper thin washer under the screw head that may be just ...

How are the threads and the head of the screw? The head and threads should stop it from going too deep. If it goes deeper than it should, and has threads that it can engage, you may want to just screw it in deeper and cut it flush inside the receiver. If the screw is at all beat up though, replacin...

alnitak

What I would do is buy a new screw if the one you have has any damage at all and a trick lots of gunsmiths do is..... Place a piece of (about 6lb.) monofilament fishing line in the hole with the end hanging out and screw the screw right in along side the fish line. The fish line will make the screw...

Well, per my earlier thread, I'm building a pre-64 puzzle gun, Just about have all of the parts, including matching lever, link, locking bolt and breech bolt (thanks for the recommendation!). Here's my problem. I'm starting to assemble the parts and realize that the Finger Lever Pin Stop Screw hole ...

Here's some interesting reading on the subject. The answers may not be exactly to what question you are asking, but the more info to base decisions on the better I believe. He does touch on basic entry level guns though. I enjoyed the entire series of articles and re-read it now and then. http://de...

OK...what say the collective wisdom of the group here... If you had $700 (or so) to spend on a starter LR bolt rifle in .308, would you go with some variation of the Remington 700, Savage 10, Tikka (T3 may be a little more) or Howa (maybe 1500)? Opinions and justification are welcome. BTW, notice I ...

My heartfelt condolences and prayers offered for all the family. What a tragic situation, though handled with dignity and love by all. May God take Jessica to His Heavenly Kingdom and grant the family peace.

alnitak

Yeah, I should have specified a Win 94 in my original post...no BP. Sometimes I can't help but "tinker", but more often that not seems better to leave well enough alone, spray the outside, bush and wipe down and be done with it.

alnitak

Just wondering what you guys do here. For example, how often do you take the breech bolt completely apart? Or, remove the cartridge guide, carrier spring, etc? Any need to do those things at all under normal conditions?

alnitak

Prayers up. Hang in there...it may take years, but there is always hope.

alnitak

Prices vary depending upon location and caliber (e.g., .45's are more than 9mm), but $40-$50 per 1000 cases is a good estimate...sometimes more.

alnitak

I heard this show is on the cancel list...too bad.

(Nice leather BTW).

alnitak

Thanks Griff. Both guides are already installed. I appreciate the offer of the mainspring...it's one of the items left. If I can't get a line on one, I'll reach out to you. There's one on ebay now, but it's from an 1873...hence the earlier question.

I am going to finish a project gun with a 1955 1/2 receiver in .30-30, carbine length What's a "1/2 receiver" ? While all M94 Carbine's (model) use the same diameter/length of magazine tube & spring, there are some pre-64 magazine tubes & springs available for different lengths of...

Finally, after a couple of years of delay, I am going to finish a project gun with a 1955 1/2 receiver in .30-30, carbine length. I have most of the pre-64 parts I need, but still looking for a few items. My questions are about interchangeability among 1894 calibers and other models. For example, th...

Joe, hang in there. Even when things seem darkest, there is hope and time can heal. Prayers up for you my friend.

I actually really disliked the movie...Tom Cruise is no Jack Reacher! However I love the books and have read them all multiple times, including the newest, "Never Go Back."

I also have them in epub form if anyone is interested.

alnitak

Excellent post, Jim. Thank you.

Personally, after I see my dogs lick their butts, they need time to get their mouths flushed out, so I like to give them 15 minutes before I'll let them lick our plates. since dogs are copraphagic [sic], I'd give it 30 minutes. I've been told by kennel folk that feeding a dog pineapple will break t...

I have also been looking at the classifieds seems most folks dont want to ship (dont blame them). Keep looking, you'll eventually find one within a couple of hours drive. I drove from VA to NJ to pick up mine. Also, look for a set of used Plossels to get you started. They offer 90% of the view at 2...

alnitak

Well one question I have is what would you recommend as a starter build? It would be a project for my teenage boys and I. Saw a good price for a 114mm coulter mirror set that would keep the wife happy but don't want to have something that would be out grown to soon. I will have a look at cloudy sky...

You have my deepest sympathy on your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Blaine, I think you are overreacting and shooting the messenger. Mike has a thankless job as a Moderator. He has to respond to complaints by other members. He is not imposing his own personal standards in his role as moderator, but those established by the owners and founders of this site. In no way...

alnitak

Wow...I am duly impressed! What a great conversion!

I love the Tok round...it would be the cat's meow to have a levergun in 7.62x25!

alnitak

Treeman, you can always convert one of your existing Mossberg for a lot less than a new gun:

For HD/SD, go with the Mossberg 590 pump. If you were running 3-gun, then the 930.

Also found this in WikiAnswers: "The notion of silver harming vampires comes from Marvel Comics. From there, it made it's way into popular culture in movies and television. Silver does not affect vampires in the folklore. It doesn't even harm werewolves either for that matter. The use of silver...

Dude, seriously? That's for werewolves. :wink: You are correct...traditionally, it is werewolves that silver was associated with. However... "While it is true silver was not used in older vampire movies, it was used successfully as a vampire repellant in: Dracula (1979), From Dusk to Dawn (199...

Article in this morning's paper about how it is bombing at the box office. It costs $225M to make and has only brought in something like $49M world-wide...it was beat out by Despicable Me by almost 2:1.

Unforgiven 1992?

Django won two, didn't it?

However, Unforgiven was the last one to win it for best picture (along with Dances with Wolves in 1990 and Cimarron in 1930).

Another reason it may be slow is overhead from a bunch of processes running at start-up. Check your "msconfig" to see what programs are automatically started, e.g., like iTunes Updater, HP printer, Quicktime, etc. I periodically go through and uncheck those things that seem to get activate...
