With a change in springs more reliability can be had. If a stock gun, just run ammo that mimics factory loads. Usually need not be max.

Thanks all, I have tried this since I was a teenager will give it another go with the information you shared.

Paladin

Ever since a grizz encounter, I carry a 4" Mod 29 Stainless in a chest rig loaded with Buffalo Bore hardcasts when bow hunting or packing elk. A guy at our gun club brought his teenage son to practice with an Alaskan Backpacker using Buffalo Bore .44 ammo. I told him it was a bad idea and that...

Paladin

Yes, I was given one (by a lawyer who still owes me $75,000) and carry it often in the Southwest with snake shot up front and .44 Specials in it. I just changed the rear sight to something I like a lot more than the V that was on it.

Catalog 70401 UPC 736676704019 Are these guns drilled and tapped for: - a scope & - a receiver sight ???? Thanks They are to attach a rail or regular scope mount but I like a longer sight radius and went with this (please disregard the abuse I used it often ) and want to have the peep for back ...

Paladin

Here are some of my work combo's
.45 ACP and 9mm the longer ones were a great improvement over the handguns.

Paladin

WOW great display

I will never forget and would be more than willing to testify as an expert witness against the current gov for causing it to happen.

Heck, even if they worked them 12 hours without break (which was possible), that's a hundred an hour or more than 1 a minute. Must have done them in stages, using loading blocks, but still... that is very impressive!

Congratulations, I wore glasses from third grade until the GOV approved LASIC for PILOTS (and SOCOM) in 2002. I am now back into Bia-Focals but happy with that for the 20-15 vision I still have).

Paladin

I don't mind a .380 for carry and carried a Walther PPKS as a backup gun for about 15 years. A bit lighter with more ammo is a Bretta model 84 (this one an Indiana State Police turn-in)a bit larger and feels much better in the hand and you can shoot a clean target with one on a 25-yard course. (Thi...

Never crashed a real plane and started flying in 1972 (Officially) NEVER flew a drone or model airplane I didn't crash.

Paladin

One of the two Rossi's the .44 Mag or the .357 Mag gets carried the most when walking the dogs. With the cats around you don't know when they want to play and both are set up for night use.

If you haven’t bought Steve’s dvd you might want to consider it. Get the mag follower and ejector spring too. The machine can operate one finger butter smooth with a little bit of fitting. The dvd shows you how.

Thought I would share some photos of the local watering hole about 1/4 mile from the house where I run the dogs. There are three different lions just not all on the camera.

Paladin

Thanks, Great idea

I have started using Tennis racket bags for my take-down guns from AR-10 (in this photo) to the 1897 12 ga I carried in my motorcycle saddlebags. MY MP-5 and Co-Pilot fit in a single racket bag. They don't draw attention when taking them in and out of the truck or carrying them into hotels.

Paladin

Yesterday's visitors, they started into the gate to the garage before I stepped out on the back porch. (the photo through he fence was 25 yards and the longer one 80 yards

Paladin

Rob Leahy mentioned that earlier today, a sad day.

Paladin

WOW, some impressive firearms.
I will add my combos in shame.
The Revolvers and Rifles (sorry all my single actions are .45 LC)

Paladin

The last one I bought was Last December in Southern Ohio for $600.00 blue steel.

Paladin

Nope, I started proving early in life I could break almost anything.

Paladin

I could see where that would be handy

Paladin

YEP. had orders for Vietnam in 1974 they were canceled and was sent to Germany. I could go to the Rod and Gun Club, look shoot, but not buy anything. Ended up with a GREAT stereo and camera collection.

Paladin

I am still an AR fan but 5.56 is my least favorite cartridge (now that I don't people hunt) 6.5 Grendel, .458 Socom, 7.62x39, .350 Legend, 7.62x51 are more to my liking for the areas and targets I shoot at. I still carry and hunt with M1As, Steyer bolt guns, Remington pumps, Enfields, HKs, FNs, Mar...

Paladin

Interesting gun! Who did the sights and the interchangeable cylinder? I've been thinking of a birdshead grip; how do you like it? It was a package deal back in the 90s with both cylinders and a friend (who left Van Comp and lives a few miles from the winter house) worked on it for me. I had him put...

Paladin

Sad, an unbelievable craftsman.

Paladin

I may live forever

Well done, always have a .22 around to alleviate boredom. I got my first MK1 for $40 near Ravenna when I was a kid

Paladin

I bought a very light, liner-lock pocket knife at the outdoor market last summer. It looked to have decent steel and a very 'work friendly' checkered handle. It did have a little bend in the last 3/16" of the point but that's an easy fix. The blade was marked AUS8-II and 'Randall's Adventure T...

Paladin

Thanks for the info I haven't loaded BP and thought about it.

Paladin

Thanks has been a long time since I have forged a knife but I have replaced all the gear to start.

Paladin

Excellent, I am not one of the guys who leave brass.

Paladin

Very fond of my (slightly modified) Ruger New Vaquero.

Paladin

I like the lock blades or autos made out of the newer powdered steels for durability. They are very hard steel, hold an edge unbelievably well, and take great abuse. I would put them against any for reliability.

YEP, I grew up with a Case "Sod Buster JR" and later when I started working after school and had income switched to many different ones. While in the military and Law Enforcement branched out into many tactical issued ones and just ones I like for work. On a couple of OCONUS trips, I got ...

Sorry to hear you confirm what has been going on for years. I have been lucky on the Treatment side and I have three Docs.

Excellent story, I hope the feed was as good as Mom's Squirrel shepherd pies were.

Paladin

Well done, you have way too much practice.

Paladin

Last year I found a couple of hundred rounds of "Scorpion" bullets I reloaded in the late 70s in .38 SPL. They still fired and were just as accurate as when I first loaded them. Looks like a canidate for some massive expansion ! Thanks They were GREAT revolver loads for low to mid loads a...

Thanks for the discussion. Now I know my youth was spent correctly.

Happy Independence Day!

Now it’s buttery smooth and if I shot it better I would think it would make one ragged hole. Well done on the adjustments. I have a couple of SIngle sixs, and a recently purchased in-the-box Wrangler I got at an auction for $150. The Wrangler shoots pretty well out to 25 yards for rabbits and vermi...

I used some German 5.7s in Afghanistan and liked the cartridge for Personal Defense work. My wife wanted a truck gun so I built her an AR carbine that took 50 Rd FN Mags.
