Some of them you can't really answer (unless your some kind of Eastwood freak), they're there to get you to click "Hint" , which is there to get you to watch the commercial, which is the whole point of the quiz.

:D A few years back ( like 40 ) I remember seeing a movie titled "My Name Is Nobody" I really enjoyed that western, had a few levers. But so many have told me it didn't exist, said I must have dreamed it.... WELL it does exist.. Found it on YouTube last night. A good movie I thing Ya'll w...

After I opened the throats up, mine was a real shooter. I put 6 for 6 on a paper plate at 200 yards with it. But about that time I finally found a Single Six .32 H&R, so I felt I no longer needed the .30 Carbine. A friend warned me about getting rid of it, saying that paper plates would haunt me...

I was trying to get rid of rats at home and didn't have any luck with traps. Using "jaws" type traps, face in along the exterior wall, apparently they were too fast for them, occasionally I would get a tail and nothing more. It wasn't until I started setting three traps side by side that I...

Unfortunately you 870 guys are living in the past.
Sadly I would choose a 500 in a second over a new 870. What Remington has become is shameful.

I have a 24' Sea ray that I'm sawzall'n into little pieces and throwing away with the household trash.

cas

The "go with" line made me laugh as well.

I tried some 53gr Barnes X-bullets in my .22-250 last year and with their added length they wouldn't come close to grouping.

A truly excellent question and responses. A book about Harrison and his development of a practical marine chronometer is available. The author is Dava Sobel and the title of the book, "Longitude". Captain James Cook took one of Harrison's early chronometers on his circumnavigation of the ...

I'm struck by the $1500 taxes. I know people paying close to that every month. (for 3-4 bedroom houses on a 1/4 acre) This state sucks.

cas

I've lost count of how many I've done. Only ever had one problem once. A new extractor spring fixed that. I've never owned a store bought one.

cas

I've become an internet curmudgeon too. After about six questions I deemed it too stupid and gave up.

Come on... give us a hint.

I just sold my beloved M14 and spent the money on a bolt action.

If you're not a sniper, it's not a sniper rifle.

cas

Is the 92 and harder than the 94? I've only taken one of those apart and I did it while sitting on the toilet.

cas

The Savage 42 would be a great tool to have for around $150-$225. The problem is they're asking more than twice that over here. I handled one at the 2013 Shot Show and was so disappointed in how crappy it was (for what they're asking). I'm really surprised they haven't vanished yet.

At least one. A quick search shows a few year to year.

The worst part was picturing Sixgun standing there with his pants around his ankles while he took that picture.

I modified some 30's.... which turns them into 10's (or 11's?)

I don't even really remember how, I think it was just spreading the front of the feed lips to get the nose of the bullet up higher. And honestly I don't recall that I ever tried to see if they would work unmodified.

cas

I had a .50 for a time, set it up to hunt with but never did, too many other things I'd rather use. I sold it when I was raising money to pay for my Shiloh, I figured it was replaceable if I ever felt the need. I haven't to date. To me it felt like shooting a .20 ga semi auto shotgun, clearly more r...

I was going through Walmart belts about every year, so I bought one from Kirkpatrick Holsters, that was 13 or more years ago. It's just starting to have issues now where the stitching is worn out from the buckle. It could probably be fixed but it's not worth it. I've more than got my money's worth w...

They were probably too busy trying to post about it on Twitter and Facebook.

That.... is a pretty awful list, for many reasons. I don't think I even made it to the top 25.

Hmmm.... I'm not familiar with the latest Photos, but in all the older iPhotos the files are there to do what you please with.

iTunes is the same, the mp3's are all in a file.

Made on "lawn guy land".

I like the length, more user friendly.

There's what works and what doesn't. I don't know that there's any semi auto pistol that fits my hand better than the S&W M&P 9/40 sized frame. And you know what, I can't shoot it for beans. lol The large frame 45 doesn't feel anywhere near as right, but I shoot it 10x's better. Same with my...

The movie Four Feathers (Heath Ledger movie).... The 1939 version of "The Four Feathers" was pretty awesome, too. "FRONT RANK, KNEEL!" Finding all those Lee-Metfords must have been no small feat, even in 1939. IIRC there are at least SEVEN versions of that movie/story. I liked t...

The easiest and fastest way I found to switch from smokeless lube to SPG was to buy a second lube sizer.

cas

I did for a few years till I pretty much ran out of money.

Didn't really run out of it, I never had it, I just couldn't shoot on credit anymore. It gets spendy.

As for ideas, Youtube will be the way to go for sure.

cas

This makes me sad.

Because I'm finding myself in the same boat. Unless I can learn to shoot cross eye dominant.

cas

Since it's not illegal for them to ship it, and since they haven't implemented any way for anyone to do what the states wants in terms of compliance.... I believe there was at least one company who would still ship, but I'm no help on who that is. I'm registered as a reseller so it doesn't effect me...

You lost me at Boddington.

That rifle takes up much much MUCH less space than four mowers. You can buy several more and still be well ahead of the game! Good job. Long ago a friend took picture of a gun on top of his washing machine and we gave him grief over it, so that became his long running joke and signature move. For a ...

.52-70
.56-56

Smooth most of the way, with a tiny but of really slow twist (pert near straight) rifling at the muzzle would be legal. Where you get that done at a price worth doing I couldn't say. Maybe rebore a .17 barrel?

cas

What is the flat metal piece over the slide serrations just forward of the safety? Not being a Colt auto guy, I am guessing it protects the thumb (high) in your grip of the pistol? More of it keeping your thumb from slowing down the slide than protecting it, but yes. My thumb has polished a couple ...

If memory serves me, I think I tried them too. I remember slugging the barrel and fire lapping it too just because I figured I had nothing to lose.

The Colt Officers ACP. 8) 20+ years ago mine became my "What can I do to it now?" gun. :lol: It doesn't get much use now days. Occasionally I get to thinking I should sell it, then I take it out and handle it and go "oh nooo" and put it back in the safe. http://photos.imageevent....

I had an AE Trapper that the ONLY thing it would shoot worth a darn was 300's pushed with REALLY hot loads. That's why I sold it (with full disclosure and at about 1/3 what I paid) because it just wasn't enjoyable. Those loads in that little BB gun were punishing. Lighter loads, or lighter bullets, ...

NYPD Glocks would be 19's.

I owned two NYPD Glock 19's, not trade ins but retiree guns. Both with holster wear and not much else. (paid $225 and $250)

He's a fanny burp'n machine.

Buy high, sell low! That's my motto! I don't buy em, I just rent em for a while.

My biggest problem is I seem to be interested in things almost no one else is, and I like beat up guns more than nice ones.

"You can't pay too much, just too soon." :wink: About 15 years ago some guy named Jack told me "Guns will never be cheaper than they are right now." I try to share that "wisdom" with as many people as I can, because it has cost me many untold thousands of dollars, makes...

That rifle is beautiful, don't touch it. I have an 1892 from 1904 that is partially covered in... something. Paint? Tar? I don't know what it is, it reminds me of the black stuff they refinished Enfield's with. But it's been there a very very long time and as wrong as it is, it looks like it belongs...

Well there was the .224 Boz. i think they started testing with a 9mm case necked down to .22, then went 10mm for more velocity.

But they did just about everything possible to keep that from being a success. Kept a tight grip on it as a propriety round so no one would sell it or make guns for it...

One of the RIA 22TCM/9mm is on my "next" list. Of course there are about 4 other guns also in the next slot with no funds to make it happen. :lol: It's a lower priority next as I know it won't have staying power in terms of my interest. I think a 1911 22TCM could nicely fill the roll my Ru...

I had a Lindsey call as a kid! :D I found it buried in my back yard, not that that makes any sense looking back. You could have given me a million dollars to tell you the brand before reading this post and I wouldn't have been able to do it, (in truth I'd forgotten all about it decades ago), but see...
