Looks good bookmarked link. Thanks

Marvin S

I have a 241 speedmaster in excellent shape, that's about all I can tell you about it for now as I've never shot it.

Marvin S

I have had good luck with the pistol and rifle scopes

Marvin S

So when you clean the barrel real good and run a snug patch on a jag what does it it feel like, buldge or corrosion?

Marvin S

I always grow some vittles. Tomatoes this year are Hybrid Beef master and Jet Stars, heirlooms are Mortgage lifters, Black Krim and Green Zebra. There is squash, cucumbers, okra, cantaloupes, peppers, garlic, asparagus. Fall will bring more turnips, radish, and beets. Also have several fruit trees a...

Marvin S

Should have hung it and then burned it after a good shooting.

Marvin S

The old NRA firearms assembly book will do the trick. Plus has lots of others in it.

Marvin S

It is only foot traffic allowed as I hunt on mostly public land. Some times I use a canoe to get to remote areas but you can't shoot from them unless anchored.

Marvin S

Looks good so far I'll keep watching.

Must be something with them Mod 92 1926 MFG 38WCF's mine is a real sweetheart also.

Marvin S

Thanks Mike,, I don't see anything on the BP box that would indicate a date. The smokeless box has an 8 11 on top so is that a date or just something else?

Marvin S

I bought these two boxes at auction today. The full patch smokeless is still factory sealed the black powder box has been opened but is all there. Can anyone date these and give a value?

Marvin S

They where used to train sky cops on a simulated flightline.

Marvin S

I am not. It was 90 in NE Kansas today.

Marvin S

For some reason the utube link wont open. But it did come from Lackland AFB and at one time was flown by the 184th ANG unit at McConnell AFB.

Marvin S

Several months ago I posted some pictures of this aircraft when I went to Texas to start taking it apart. Finally got back down there and got it apart. It is now sitting in Kansas and waiting to get put back together.

Marvin S

Avoid ethanol in the fuel, it draws moisture and creates acid. Most all manufactures recommend fuel stabilizer. Watch for water in the lower unit as it can freeze and crack the housing.

Marvin S

I use stabill for off seasons and run the float bowl/bowls dry choking it when it starts to run dry.

Marvin S

I can't really say what the future will bring but I do believe Merle Haggard had it right with (Are the good times really over). Years ago I took all my retirement savings out of the joke market and have not regretted it ever since. I do all of my own repair work on everything I own. I don't carry a...

For those that are worried about wearing their bore with a copper scrub pad I assume you are using some sort of guide with the methods that require so many passes with a cleaning rod. The scrub pad wont wear the bore anymore than the Lewis lead remover.

Marvin S

Impressive

Marvin S

Nice. Those look like what we call a white bass.

Marvin S

Get a copper chore boy pot scrubber the chore boy brand it should be copper you can check with a magnet. Wrap a few strands around a bore brush. It will scrub it out.

Marvin S

That is a beauty. Let us know how it shoots.

Marvin S

Thanks Marv. :D Its is a real stinker. I followed some of Marlin forum's "35 Remington" advice by leaving off the lube in the RCBS (low velocity--1050 fps) this morning and got 3/4" inch group at 50, but...........4" at 100 with slight yawing. I need to up the velocity to my fav...

Marvin S

The 25wcf has been the most challenging cartridge to get to shoot for me with cast. I have the same RCBS mold you speak of along with the Lyman 65 GC and the RD 85 GC mold. I'm finally getting it to shoot well but don't really go for groups per say but point of aim with a cold dirty barrel. My metho...

Marvin S

Every few years I have to redo a secret one for the military. Hopefully I have done my last.

Marvin S

Ought to be a requirement that we have our DD-214s tattood somewhere inconspicuous just to keep everybody honest; what, don't know what a DD-214 is? OK Rambo... I tried that in the bar talk venue, where everyone is swilling beer and was a war hero in one way or another. So I tell em next week is br...

Marvin S

Tightgroup is pretty clean.

Marvin S

That's a good one, looks looks like you got your moneys worth.

Marvin S

Good Video! Thanks

Marvin S

Some have ammo some don't. Nice to look at compared to today's bland looking stuff.

Marvin S

You can just go ahead and shoot the jacket bullets after the lead assuming your bore is not terribly leaded. Most folks recommend cleaning the copper fouling out before switching back to lead. I don't shoot many jacket bullets anymore unless its something like a 22-250. A good fitted cast gas check ...

Lever Guns Magazine Vol 2 has an article called, Loads for lever gun cartridges. It does list a Speer 100gr JHP 13.5gr H-110 Rem 7 1/2 primer for a MV of 2100FPS and 30,000 CUP. The author says it is his regular hunting load in STRONG firearms. The article is by Brian Pearce so not a dummy. I'm prob...

Marvin S

If you ruled out the common things take one of the tight fitting ones and black it up with a magic marker and then try to chamber a few times to transfer the marks to the case.

Marvin S

Brass trimmed to correct length? Lead bullet with fat/long nose engraving the rifling? Over crimping making a buldge in the neck area? Not full length sizing? Need more info.

Marvin S

You better beware of the 32WCF it will start to breed on ya. Before you know it five will appear in the safe. Mine started with a 92 also.

Marvin S

That is plain funny somehow

Marvin S

Don't think it is lined but if it is it can be done again. Stevens A&T for arms and tool. Clean and oil will probalby make it cock better. I have one in 32cal

Marvin S

On the Accurate molds you specify what dia you want instead of just getting what someone thinks you need. I have no experience with full patch bullets in the old original calibers as I've found no reason to use them.

Marvin S

I have two 1923 mfg 94,s. I had a mold cut to my specs it is listed on Accurate molds web site as 32170B IIRC and listed for 32-40 Win. I shoot them about 1800 to 1850 fps. It is a great cartridge for me YMMV.

Marvin S

Think you on the right track. Get a copper chore boy pot scrubbing pad and cut about a 3/8 wide ribbon about three inches long and wrap that around a bronze bore brush. Run it through the bore to remove the lead.

Marvin S

I gonna go with what the others said. The bullets you used in the past where probably softer, do you happen to have one around to check? Also most of that commercial lube is way to hard and is nothing more than a plastic ring in the bullet. Can you take a hair dryer and melt it out of some then pan ...

Marvin S

This is straight out of a Lyman 3rd edition cast bullet manual. test gun was a Stevens 44 1/2 with 29" bbl. 249gr plain base Start load 7.0gr = 975 FPS 9.5gr = 1170 FPS 269gr GC start load 7.0gr = 935 FPS 9.0gr = 1080 FPS This is for Unique Powder. Other powders listed in this manual are Red do...

Marvin S

I would size it, at least the neck it it fits. You may have problems with the expanded internal dia and bullets at .380 may be a tight fit. There is an excellent article on loading the 38-55 just google it. It is called the 38-55 is back by John Taffin. Do check length, I get a lot of new brass that...

Marvin S

I shoot 10gr unique in my antique 1894 with a 260gr cast sized to .383.it has plenty of power for me.

Marvin S

Have traded and sold a bunch, but two cross my mind. First was a Sako 22 hornet think it was a mod 78 and next was a Remington 788 in 223. I bought both new.

Marvin S

Thanks guys. The fish are from Perry resiviour, just some light ice in protected coves. It busts right through that.

Marvin S

Nice. I used to have that same rifle in 30 Rem but I let it go

Eh just re read mine was a Mod 14.

Marvin S

I have seen some pics of fish on here so I thought I would show some I caught today. That is a limit of 20 @10 plus inches.
Thought I would give the Squirrels a break today. I have been on leave this week and been blessed with great weather.
