Marlin 336 in either 30-30 or .35 Remington.

I've been carrying my New Vaquero but think that maybe the Montado would be THE ticket for a SA carry gun. http://www.galleryofguns.com/prod_images/5120.jpg That looks almost like the Gene Berry/Bat Masterson gun from the old television series. It might be the ticket if they would just chamber it f...

Dear "Capn All Caps". This post is honor of Junior! -Tutt Mister Murbach does not need me to defend him. He seems to be as tough as a masonry nail. To be given an capitalized, exclamated pointed tongue lashing by him is uncomfortable but should be considered an honor. Once upon a time I a...

In the spirit o the 2nd Amendment I believe that the presence or absence of a weapon should have no bearing on an encounter with a peace officer. But in the real world, at least in the mind of most police personel, any weapon must be immediately and completely "secured". The peace officer ...

I have read that article and most of Mister Seyfried other writing. I understand that he spent several of his summer vacations in the Keith home as an apprentice of sorts. He talks of Mister Keith testing handguns for accuracy at three hundred yards and beyond. These are guns that most of us shoot a...

There were die cast zinc component bullets back in the 60's and 70's according to Maj. Nontes' writings. One was an undersized .38 with grooves to hold rubber O-rings and meant to be thumb-pressed over a pinch of Bullseye. Veral Smith wrote about experimenting with cast zinc bullets. He learned that...

Try paper masking tape and/or medical fabric tape before you invest in the cost of a reem of fine rag content paper and the time and effort of cutting, dampening, wrapping, drying, and trimming the tail of traditional patches. Fatten with tape to groove diameter or slightly over as long as bullet se...

There is a mustard seed kernel of truth to the premis in that editorial. Some people cannot resist the temptation of a tame deer standing on the shoulder of a lonely road. Not long after T/C came out with the encore pistol I aquired one for $200. The previous owner couldn't help himself when a troph...

When I was a wee lad I was blessed to be able to participated in many a bunny drive. The huntmaster used a self-loading fowling piece that was equipped with a magazine disconnect. This feature allowed him to shuck fine shot out of the chamber and put buckshot or slug in its place if and when the bea...

I know nothing about the incedent in Missouri but I have had my share of persecution from local tyrants and despots. I have come too close to being "backed into a corner" in the context of this discussion for comfort. No, there is no excuse for violent behaviour but as the gentleman from T...

I used to be a wormy, slight built little fellow. But then I started working 12 hour night shifts and stopping by fast food joints. My weight fluctuates from between 80 and 100 lbs. too much for my height. My doctor put me on an extremely low carb diet due to my colesterol being extremely low and th...

Electrical tape for saw guide Hacksaw File Drill motor Countersink from cheap drill bit set for crowning Propane torch to blue cut. Nothing to it provided you don't need front sight. Gun parts corporation has an assortment of odd sights that even work well with a lot of imagination and a little epox...

Trimmed .38 S&W brass ain't AR brass. It headspaces on the mouth. If your ruger missfires with unclipped 9mm loads then it might not work with trimmed .38S&W. The .756" I mentioned worked in my gun but maybe too short in yours. This is going to require some trial and error. Keep in mind...

I have a 110 in .358. I use the 180 gr hornady ssp over a caseful of 4198. I bought 3 of these barrels when midway clearanced out the first run of them. I gave $69.99 each. The extra barrels were set aside for reaming to .35 whelen and .358 norma( i have a magnum bolt as well). A month or so after I...

.38 S&W brass trimmed to .756" works fine in mine. A 9mm Lee speed die is what I use. Too long and they drag on the recoil shield. Too short and they go snap. I use standrd 9mm luger load data. They also work in some of my .357's. Most of the time I use 9mm ammo without the clips and pick t...
