I don't like BullPup designs.

It's gonna be December when I "get there", sooo....
My choice would be to gather up whatever I can SELL out of my collection and use the money to GET HOME to South Florida.

I don't live down here by accident Boys....

AWESOME....!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing.

guido4198

IMHO....(since you asked) The model 95 is just plain UGLY. My opinion has NOTHING to do with any of the practical points already mentioned such as handling, carrying,cartridge choice, etc. I have been blessed with the ability to own pretty much any rifle I like. With the world of choices available, ...

Prayers up Jay....
All the best in this ongoing battle you have.

That foaming cleaner sounds like a great product...!! Being more "old school" myself, I still haven't used up the bottle of Sweet's I have on the shelf. Sweet's and Patience has worked REAL WELL for me for a long time. One day, I'll give the newer products a try too. As an aside....I alway...

FABULOUS website. Thanks for sharing. One thing however....I scanned through quite a few of the pictures. I was extremely impressed with the quality. HOWEVER...these are obviously fakes. :twisted: Granted I didn't look at all of them, but of the many pics I looked at, NONE of those cowboys was sport...

BlaineG, How are you carrying those 2 extra mags..??? I'm also carrying an LCP MOST of the time. Over the years I've noticed that a reliable .380 in my pocket provides considerably more comfort than the hottest whiz-bang hi-cap big bore auto-loader on the planet IN MY DRAWER at HOME. Down here in La...

GREAT Post....
Thanks for taking the time to share a truly CLASSIC day in the Maine deer woods.

I shoot a cast bullet as well. IDEAL mold 350447 which I inherited from my Dad. Using 50/50 wheel weights/lead, they come in at 183 gns. It is a gas check design, with a DEEP hollow point. I've been pushing them to 1800 fps or so, and getting good results on targets. It's a loading I like to use in ...

I'm finally getting to the end of my bullet inventory for a couple of long-time favorites. I've been shooting Hornady's 30 cal 180 RN and .348 200 flat point since I was a kid helping Dad load them. Eisenhower was President. As a regular user, I kept a few boxes on the shelf all the time. Throughout...

I have an original Win 71. The trigger pull is well, less than ideal.
This rifle is a "shooter", NOT a safe queen, or collector's piece.
Has anyone successfully improved the trigger on one of these, or should I just learn to live with it ?
Thanks for your thoughts.

guido4198

sometimes I really hate to ruin a good deer hunt by shooting a deer... :) One of my most memorable hunts, and one which I enjoy relating to my buddies as much or more than any other is the time I let a perfectly legal Whitetail walk around me for 20 minutes. WELL within range...even put the scope o...

I'm hoping that in addition to the fines, I'm HOPING...they also had the various implements used CONFISCATED...including VEHICLES used in their intentional lawbreaking.

You don't have a 3-14x50 auto-ranging illuminated reticle TACTICAL scope...!!!!!
And STILL you bought her home...!!!
Congratulations. That's a heck of a way to start the season.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the memories....!!!! I went through College and Graduate school with a couple of slide rules. I'm sure I still have them around somewhere. It's a fact that in the days before common computer use....Slide Rules were how smart people figured things out. They were good enough to get us to t...

I load for my .380 'cause I want to be able to shoot a LOT out of my little Ruger, and sometimes my Colt Government model too, without breaking the bank. 2 loads that have worked for me in both guns are: 1. 125 gn cast RN over 2.7gn Unique. 2. 95gn RN cast over 3.0 gn WSL ( Winchester Superlite shot...

Y'all still happy with your LCPs? I'm still on the fence on LCP vs. LC9 for CCW. I have an XD-M in .45, but it is just too darned big. YUP... Another one who can honestly say that the LCP is the first CCW that I have owned which actually just stays on me more often than not. Over the years....depen...

If you get over this was Stefan, look me up.
I hunt Deer and Wild Hogs with those Flintlock and percussion rifles you mention, and I'm sure I can scare up an extra one for you.

My personal choice was the Randall #1. Still have it. It's not in "collectible condition"...but it's also Not for sale, so I don't mind. :D That knife and I have racked up a bunch of miles together. S.E. Asia, Rhodesia, a couple of spots in Central America and more than a few Biker gatheri...

I remember it well. In 1970 "Quick Kill" was part of my training. We were surprised how easy it was,( at least for those members of my unit who had previous firearms experience like myself) to hit dimes thrown into the air in front of a man armed with a Daisy..!!

guido4198

If you bought it to SHOOT...and it works everytime...keep it and ENJOY.

If you bought it to SELL...you failed to choose wisely grasshopper.

guido4198

I can only add to the gratitude...Thank you for taking the time to share those pics. Living down here in S.E. Florida...I spend as much time as possible with a rod in hand...Offshore. No interest in fishing Freshwater. Your beautiful photos have me wondering about reviving my Freshwater game and hea...

SAC museum...First time I ever got to see a B-58 "Hustler" up close...always my personal favorite.
Go to Joe Tess' place for lunch. They are famous for the fried Carp...but I like the whole fried Catfish better.

The cattlemen I know in Nebraska won't touch the stuff, and don't want to run their equipment on the medians and shoulders due to all the "junk" those areas hold.

Sorry to hear that. I've been using "Junior's Lube" for years. Always my pleasure to give him credit when asked what my lube choice is. He was one of those "find a way" kind of guys that solved problems and met needs without just throwing cash at it. He'll be missed in our shooti...

Sorry Jack,
Mine was done in 1979 or somewhere close if memory serves. I've no idea what current cost might be.

guido4198

I had my 9mm cylinder converted to 357/44 Bain & Davis. Quite a screamer from the 6 in. Bbl
Shot fine, probably do better in a 10 in(or more) Contender. I just had zero interest in the 9 mm option.

guido4198

Blessings to both of you. Your support and encouragement through this will make a huge difference for her.

At this point...it's an expensive toy for somebody who just can't find anything else to spend money on. It may remain just that, and become a "collectible" for people like Jay Leno to put in their garage. That said....it's a step towards a practical electric motorcycle that is interesting,...

Welcome to the LCP club. Like many others here...I have a variety of handguns to choose from for concealed carry. Here in Florida....I found MOST of them were spending waaayyyy too much time at home while I was out-and-about. I got an LCP, and not only LOVE the little thing for it's shoot-a-bility,(...

Mine was made in 1875. I get the best results using 500 gn. 30:1 bullets, shooting them "as-cast"...pan lubed over 67 gns. BP.

Happy Birthday..!!

guido4198

Alright..!!
Thanks for letting me know Byron.
I shipped a couple hundred 30 cal. bullets(just bullets) to a guy once, and all he received was a torn open empty box..!!
Always good to know the package was received.
ENJOY.

guido4198

Thanks for letting me know.
I never looked at the headstamps beyond caliber. Finding that I don't need them, I thought SOMEBODY might find them useful.

I knew I'd be sorry I opened this thread. Here I sit with NO Venison in my freezer. When I DO find myself so blessed to have a deer on the ground..I cut it in such a way as to retain as much whole muscle pieces as possible, Those are then "chunked" and cubed. Trimmings and pieces too small...

In the first year, 1775, Washington's Continental Army consisted of 28 regiments..approx. 20,000 men under arms. Colonial population at that time is estimated to have been 2.4 million. Therefore the original Army represented something like 0.83 percent of the population of the 13 colonies. By the wi...

guido4198

They say the majority didn't give a dam back then. That it was about 3% that did. My own research on the period indicates across the 13 colonies...(more or less depending upon where you looked)... something like a pretty even 3-way split. About a third wanted to be free of England. About a third di...

I picked up a new LCP yesterday. To be clear, I'm also not a huge fan of the 380 as a defensive cartridge. I have a BUNCH of better choices in the safe for those times when a gunfight is a distinct possibility. What I've noticed however, is that far too often, they are in the safe, not in my belt o...
