The Bonneville Salt Flats on a race morning.

Was the one about the blond pharmacy assistant posted here yet?

I've recently installed two Ramline stocks ... one on a Sears/Winchester and one on my Rossi .357. They are still hollow and need to be filled with some sort of insulation material. The one that went on the Sears/Winny 94 fit right on. The ones for the Marlin should fit with minimal or no work.

Just looks like some recyclable old metal junk ... go ahead and send it to me ... I know what to do with it ... I'm into recycling

oldgerboy

That happened to me about 20 years ago. The two guys had a 308 and a 30-06. I had my .45 flinter I shot competative with. Range was 100 yards. Results were same as yours.

oldgerboy

I have to use different length brass with different bullets depending on their cantelure. Some .38-55 bullets are really .375 Win bullets and are too long from the cantelure to the tip giving a too long overall length. My chamber will take the long brass with the "longer" bullets but, if I...

You could get a set of inside the neck brushes and use mica (?) instead of a lube.

Check in a catalog like Midway or whatever is available. The brushes and the tray they are mounted in are great to use and help sizing greatly.

oldgerboy

It was right where I thought it should be ... scary, huh? The article address was www.sixgunner.com/mcpherson/charterarms44.htm Unfortunately it doesn't work. He has detailed results on 13 different bullets giving velocities, penetration, and expantion results. I have referred to it lots of times fo...

A certain M.L. McPherson had/has an article on the .44 Spl in the Charter 44 on a forum that I printed off and have ... just gotta find it. I'm going to look.

He was the bonehead who managed to get rid of one of the most advanced autos of the 60's ... the Corvair.

He usually takes votes from the D's.

Here's my .284 rifle and the magazine release. Yes, I agree Ben ... I have walnut and the checkering on mine is cheesy but it was what all the companies were using then.

oldgerboy

I had an H&R a few years ago in Hornet and had it reamed out to K-Hornet. The accuracy inproved and it was a hoot to use. I also had a 223 model and it was also accurate.

I've had a 222 and a 222mag that were also very accurate.

oldgerboy

I went along with a buddy to a shop I had never visited and found an interesting .38-55. It is a conversion done on an older 336. The action is smooth and the barrel appears to be 26 inches with the contour similar to a featherweight Model 70 Winchester. It looks like it has been around for a while ...

oldgerboy

The guys at the importer said the wood varies quite a bit. In about three or four weeks I'll get to check them out.
That is not the fanciest wood I've ever seen but it beats the heck out of the wood on my Marlin and my Winchester.

oldgerboy

Congrats and hang on to your hat ... the picture requests will soon be here.

oldgerboy

Here's the rifle ... http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n239/oldgerboy/MVC-069S.jpg Here's the first target ... I tried three different loads with Lil Gun and 185 grain Beartooth WFNGC bullets. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n239/oldgerboy/GEDC0056.jpg Here's the second target with the same thre...

oldgerboy

At one time a conversion block was available that replaced the rf one and made the rifle a centerfire for the .32's. The last time I saw anything about one had to be 35 or so years ago.

oldgerboy

It's up to 74%

I also have to give a nod of the head to people who have convictions and stick to them. I also give a nod to them if they also respect another's right to disagree. Some of them have been a smudge on the toilet paper of history while some have been fine examples to live by. Some have been totally bli...

I've loaded 110 grain spitzers (not V-Max, obviously) for the past 35+ years. They've shot and worked great in any .30-30 I've used. That velocity figure quoted above is probably pretty close but I've never chronographed any loads. I load for maximum accuracy and usually end up in the top 1/4 of the...

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY

oldgerboy

I'll know tomorrow about the price. It wasn't tagged yet.

oldgerboy

I'm not really too interested in the Mossberg but am curious. I should have a pic of the Little Sharps for you in a couple of weeks Reb.

oldgerboy

It's not a lever gun but it does have a lever. It is a Savage 24 and it is chambered in 20 gauge and .30-30!!!!!!!
That is a combination that trips my trigger big time. I almost have the $$ for the Little Sharps and this appears ... it's not right. Why was I born good looking and not rich.

oldgerboy

In one year, six months, and 6 days (not that I'm counting) I will be retiring early. Why couldn't it be now?

oldgerboy

Funny thing is ... when I quit teaching in '01 the middle school kids, at a dance, absolutely loved "The Chicken Dance", "The Locomotion", and "The Hokey Pokey". They wanted to be so mature but would leave their "cool" persona behind and Hokey Pokey their butt...

oldgerboy

If I'm wrong please correct me ... Generally, loads using Lil Gun and 110/296 tend to be fairly top end ... that's where those powders really shine. Any loads that are at or near top end will cause heat. The amount can vary with the firing frequency. I've loaded some very vigorous top end loads with...

oldgerboy

Good to have you back. The crew from PA has grown some in the past few months.

oldgerboy

NKJ, have you heard if the base is available by itself? It would be easier than me having to make one.

Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising along a country road one evening when an ancient cow loomed in front of the car. The driver tried to avoid it but couldn't - the aged bovine was struck and killed. Hillary told her driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what had happen...

oldgerboy

I saw it on the Legacy web sight. It would be easier than making my own mount if the mount were available. Any word on just the mount?

oldgerboy

The little football-shaped split sinkers also work for slugging the bore.

oldgerboy

Chris8866, are you anywhere near Central Pennsylvania? If so, you can use my .30-30 or 32 Spl for the hunt.

oldgerboy

I've already saved it and printed it to go with my Jeff Cooper article on personal respect. They are getting framed and hung on my "cellar hideout" wall.

Thank you Joe. That puts my personal point of view forward better than I could hope to.

A pretty good friend has a PAIR of the $$$$$$$$ kind. He had the standard ones that are similar to the hunting type for years. The pricy ones are digital and are set to the specific pitch range the person needs. It doesn't just make all things louder. It still seems like they are too expensive though.

oldgerboy

The stock and forearm are

plastic

I shortened the forearm back to almost the band step and installed a Marlin tip. I feel the shorter length looks better with the short barrel since the bands are removed and the magazine is shortened.

oldgerboy

You could always have it glass bedded around the tang and possibly reinforced with the brass pins Brownells sells before shooting it a lot.

oldgerboy

I was given several hundred 9mm cast bullets a few years ago. I shot them out of my GP100 with fair accuracy. They shot minute-of-10w30 bottle at about 25 yards

oldgerboy

As much as I would dearly love to have (and will some day) a 92 like Joe pictured or the comparable Marlin ... picture ...

a 16 1/2 inch octagon barreled, .38-40 chambered, '73 !!!!!!!!!!!

oldgerboy

I just got off the phone and you beat me to it Reb. The more I thought about it the more wrong I knew my manufacturer was.

As of three weeks ago Harrisburg only had .45 Colt and .38-55's.

oldgerboy

I shortened mine to 16 1/4 inches and did a 3/4 magazine (I like them). I got rid of the bands and installed a fore end tipfrom a Marlin. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n239/oldgerboy/MVC-070S.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n239/oldgerboy/MVC-068S.jpg I'll get behind the couch 'cause I k...

Read it when I got home.

oldgerboy

Yep, it would. Thanks.

oldgerboy

Try lightly oiling it. Sometimes, for whatever reason, be it a speck of rust or no lubrication we have found this hapening. A light oiling and work it to get the oil inside.

It could be that they only sell to dealers with FFL since they send out a catalog to dealers only. They have a phone number to contact them with to register.

oldgerboy

You go to www.jerryssportcenter.com and check out the Bonitz (Harrisburg) branch. I couldn't get in with their registration set-up. I get in at the shop since they have an account. Sorry, about the "tone" the statement about picking out the stock might have created. The one shop owner wher...

KBI in Harrisburg, PA is the importer and has a bunch.

As soon as I get my Birdshead Vaquero sold I'm getting one. I've been invited there to pick out one with extra nice wood.
