Thanks guys! In reference to the gunsmith comment, I only know of 2 places to have a Colt worked on. One is Cylinder and Slide, which Colt will refer you too. They apparently do great work but the wait time is like 5-6 months. Frank Glenn is who I have used. He's out in Arizona and doesn't seem to b...

I've got a Lawman mkiii, but I've been wanting a real Trooper. How do you think I did? I hope to have it in hand by the end of the week.

Bridger

Since I realized a short while back Marlin had a custom shop, I've been wondering exactly what all they'll do. Anybody have any experience with them? Think they'd chamber an 1895 in 33 wcf or some other such cool, old school chambering? If so, I could see a Marlin getting added to my list of things ...

Bridger

Is $795.00 for a Marlin 1894cl in 85-90% (maybe better) condition an okay price, good price, or a steal? It's a Ducks Unlimited edition, but the only way you'd know that is because of a DU medallion about the size of a .50 cent piece embedded in the butt stock. Sweet little rifle it seems like. I mi...

Bridger

Well then...I was not aware of that lol

Think the powder from these kits, especially the one that doesn't require a mill or whatever that is, will make powder suitable for loading metallic cartridges? Might be fun to play with...

Bridger

I'm pretty sure this has come up on here before and the gist of it has something to do with the fact that there is no SAAMI spec for the 45-90 so that was put on the rifle as a CYA type thing. I can't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure it is really meaningless. I'm sure shortly somebody will be al...

Bridger

Thanks for the input guys. I'm still trying to decide what to do. The deal is, I just paid off my student loans and am completely debt free now. As a result I had decided to buy myself something special at the end of this month and I have always wanted a Colt something. I had made my mind up that I ...

Bridger

I've been wanting a Colt double action for a while, and went in the local gun store today and thought I had found the one. It was a Colt Lawman MK 3 in beautiful condition- looks like it had only been shot a few times and carried very little. Price was $895 and I was ready to pay up. BUT, I found th...

Bridger

Guys I hate to resurrect a very old thread, but I got to looking back at my old posts and reopened this one and saw the deal about bridger and bridger158. I guess I missed that way back when this thread was fresh. Anyway, they are the same person- me. No idea how the heck that happened and didn't kn...

Bridger

Ever time somebody mentions the 25-20 I think of the Jordan buck that was taken with a model 92 in 25-20 somewhere in Minnesota. What a monster of a deer. Though if I'm not mistaken it was shot more than once.

Bridger

Thanks a bunch for the replies you guys! Also for the terminology correction lol

Shame we don't have an archives to put this thread in.

Bridger

Even though I'm only 25, I struggle sometimes to see iron sights clear enough to use them as effectively as I feel like I should be able to. I do wear glasses, but I'm not sure how much of this problem is related to sight and how much of it is just that maybe the particular sights on my rifles don't...

After reading the Wyoming suggestion earlier I did some reading. Turns out though there aren't many there are few decent size sawmills in Wyoming, but they seem to be facing a wood shortage between beetle kills and the forest service not selling timber. Pretty interesting, learn something every day.

Bridger

I'm encouraged to see Colt back in the double action business again. Anybody held one of these? Thoughts?

Bridger

I'd have to see pictures to believe your dog got "messed up pretty bad". There almost has to be more to the story. I've done a fair amount of snaring and trapping, and you almost NEVER see damage on an animal from a snare. Even one setup to kill doesn't mutilate or anything. I never have u...

Bridger

Thanks for the input guys. And, I did in fact have a talk with myself and decided maybe I just want something with a prancing pony on the side, not necessarily to feel like a levergunner, but rather because I just wanted it lol.

Bridger

Part of me has been feeling like a need a Colt revolver of some variant to officially be a levergunner. I'm saving my pennies right now, but there a re couple I was looking at in a pawn shop I wanted to ask yalls opinion of. The first one is a Colt Army (Possibly New Army? Not sure.) in 38 special. ...

Bridger

Glad to hear I have yalls approval! (I knew I could count on yall to support a firearm purchase lol). Wecsoger, I plan to use it on my trapline, and just like you said, take plenty of time to recall old memories. I gotta say, I never envisioned myself being this excited about a .22

Bridger

Back in the 50's, my grandpa didn't have much money but scraped up enough to pay $12 for a brand new Remington 514 single shot .22. He used it quite a bit, and when my dad came along he taught him to shoot with it and my dad then proceeded to keep the local squirrel population in check with it. Fast...

Bridger

I'd love to have a few Colts....but I simply can't afford them. They aren't working man's guns anymore.

Bridger

There's a new 86 as well.

Bridger

I don't pay much attention to the TV coverage as I mostly read their website, but I actually think CNN does a pretty good job, but they seem to get an undeserved bad name....

Heck, I agreed with most of the post in question...

Could a fellow have his man card revoked for trading that for a Civic? What on Earth is he thinking?

Bridger

I carry a little RG .25 Usually for me it's either that or nothing, and I figure that it is better than nothing. Funny thing is, a lot of the people who make fun of it don't usually carry anything at all, so I'm not sure what their logic is?

Bridger

It comes with an extra mag, and half a box of ammo. I'm interested in hearing more about the ammo making difficulties.....sounds like it could be a pain.

Bridger

Anybody have one of these? I know where a .351 is that could be had for $600-$700 and for some reason.....I want lol. I'd prefer the .401, but I've never seen one of them. Any thoughts from you guys that have experience with them?

Bridger

I only wish I had one, but there's one thing those Japchester's will always have that those Uberti's won't - a REAL, genuine ROLL mark that says "WINCHESTER". That's worth a lot to me.

Bridger

Probably about like what is shown in the picture I attached. BTW, I have no idea who owns that pic, I just found it on google.

Bridger

I know where there is a Parker Trojan grade sxs 12 ga for $499. It has obviously been abused at some point in it's life, as there is pitting on many parts of the gun, especially the left barrel, and to attempt to give it a facelift it has been parkerized. It is a 12 gauge. Further, most of the screw...

Anybody else heard about it yet? We'll gladly take gun companies here, and have very few gun regs compared to other states. It's on yellow hammer news.

Bridger

On the subject of new levers, I'll go ahead and say that I've heard great things about Henry. But, until they can figure out how to put a loading gate on the side of the rifle I don't need one. I know some say it is really not necessary, but I just want it, and I think a lot of others feel the same ...

Nice work Lilkenny! Calling is an art form unto itself.

Lark, I'd left that joker until i could find a .22 lol

7.62, I think that nicely sums up my position.

I really wanna like Stihl......but compared to Husqvarna they've always let me down. Mighty clean though. Need to get out there and fix that lol.

Thanks for the replies...been an interesting conversation. For the gentleman inuring about the coon prices, I really can't give you any exact price. Quality varies greatly by region, and whether it is in the round, green, or finished. My furbuyer had quoted me $10 a piece in the round for a large (r...

Bridger

Being a trapper, (haven't been as active these last couple years as I was, but still...) I find it interesting to study the fur trade and see just where all the wild fur we trap in N.A. winds up. Most of it goes to Russia and China, but anyway, I periodically ask women what they think about wearing ...

Fire sprinklers don't use batteries unless you mean the alarm system. Those are usually 12v but vary in mAH. Doc, if you're using 6 C-cells in series that should be 9 volts. Check to make sure your camera can take 12v before hooking up to it without a step-down transformer (which will reduce effici...

Bridger

Random thought, but what about those batteries that are used with fire sprinkler systems. Nowhere near as big as a truck battery, but probably has more umph than regular batteries?

Bridger

That scope makes me cringe being mounted so far back. Reminds me of the first time I shot my '06 BLR and crawled up on the stock like I do my open sighted Winnie. Ouch!

Bridger

To your credit, some of those cases could be modern art masterpieces.....(just say they were on purpose....)

Bridger

I guess I can understand the safety thing...but I still think on private land it should be legal at least. What I have a hard time with is the "sporting" issue or whatever that another poster mentioned. I really don't like anybody telling me I have to do anything just because it's the spor...

I was reading about this topic on another thread, but rather than to hijack it I decided to start a new one.... Here in Alabama, you can only turkey hunt with a shotgun or centerfire pistol. No rifles allowed. And, evidently it is that way in quite a few other places. My question is, why the heck ca...

AJ, does an M1A really kick that bad? I've never shot one, but I've held a few and boy are they heavy. I'd have thought that it would soak up most of the recoil.

I know how to tell Pre-64 and Post 64 Model 94's apart by just looking at them, but is there a sure fire way with Model 70's to know by just seeing a picture of one? My broke college student self is in no position at the moment to buy another gun lol, but a Model 70 is definitely on my short list an...

Bridger

Dave, as a trapper let me confirm your suspicions and tell you from experience a .22cb is no good for dispatching anything bigger than a squirrel. I have tried them more than once on accident on beaver dispatches and I honestly don't believe they know they have even been hit when shot at with a cb. ...
