2011 I am mainly looking to finish my race/serious street car, but for firearms, I would like to pick up a Marlin 1893 in some oddball caliber that I haven't played with yet. I am also looking to get a S&W mountain gun (or 4 inch 29) in 44 mag. Thats about it, finishing current projects is highe...

Hello fellow levergunners, I am thinking of getting a gun safe finally. I have several gun cabinets and I lock them in a spare bedroom BUT I think I am ready to spend some of my future tax return on a gun safe. First question how many guns can you typically get into a 30 gun safe? I know the simple ...

Yeah! I'm not figuring you won't figure out something to do with it, either. Nice flattop! You know in the 70's and eighties I would have betbig money, I never would have said something like that, but I din't know about old rugers then, He he. Tom

One of my all time favorites!, as a kid I was the biggest in my class always and have a true love of animals as well as a cowboy fan(sometimes not too bright and a little guilable also) and for a little kid with those attributes it was a no brainer that Hoss was the man. I remember when I learned Da...

Favorite is such a broad term..I have the shotgun thing nailed hands down it is my Montgmery Wards double, yeah I know it's a cheap gun but it was originally owned by my Great grandfather. He was from Asheville NC and was named Thomas Grover Embler, so my Dad was named for him and I am a Jr so event...

Great news. Thanks for sharing it with us. Tom

Hi guys I got a post 64 winny 94 last night with a 26 inch octagon numrich barrel and a tang sight on it. I also have a marlin 1889 with a silver blade front sight that I can really see well. I was hoping one of you fine gentlemen would know where I could buy a front sight like on my marlin for my w...

Good luck to all in this endevour. Just remember once you clear local law enforcement then you get to send all that lovely paperwork(which you will have made several copies of, and keep a record of the MO or check number) off to the ATF which are in absolutely no hurry to get it back to you. I was l...

We have one gas station in our area that sells ethanol free gasoline and I fill up there every chance I get , not only do I get 2-2.5 better MPG but the mechanics in our area tell me they are replacing fuel pumps at an alarming rate due to the ethanol breaking down the gaskets and plastic parts of t...

Rube I have met him before and had an enjoyable time, I just wasn't expecting to see him yesterday. Tom

I went to a gunshow in Leesport Pa this morning and as I was walking in standing at the money booth was our own SIXGUN. We had a chance to talk and enjoy watching the "goodies" walk by. Very knowledgable and good guy to spend some time with. Didn't buy anything but it was a sucessful morni...

Hey Rube, the stock maker and I have been playing phone tag for 2 days but I just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten you. Bye the way I just bought a post 94 with the long barrel in 30-30 from a guy on Marlinowners all the parts are already on it except it has a regular stock. I will prolly stil...

fordwannabe

God Bless, to them all the others in the same boat, of which there are many. Tom

fordwannabe

The guy i asked uses a stock duplicator and if we can find one to use as a template(or if he has one) he won't be that expensive, but he hasn't called me back yet. I will let you know when I find out. Tom

fordwannabe

Hey Rube, I am watching this post intently as I am doing the same build at the same time. Please let me know of any sources you come up with. I also have an idea, I just have to get the guy to call me back. I'll let you know what I find. Tom

fordwannabe

How's your 38-55 conversion going. I now have a donor rifle for the action and buttstock, so I am at least moving in the right direction. Did you order any of the parts yet? Tom

fordwannabe

Done!

When I was driving truck in Maine in 1999 and 2000, we would go over to canada and pick up sardines by the truckload and bring them into Maine, to be distributed. We did however suppl;y lots of BLUEBERRIES. Tom

NO TUMORS!!! The down side is there is 1 area that looks a little hinky but I had one of those removed before and it was benign, so I am not worried about it. He would not give me the "once a year" but I don't have to go back until MAY. The urine is sent off to be examined for cancer cells...

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! In less than three hours, 16 of you responded to a request for prayer from somebody you don't even know(well, we know each other sorta). I appreciate the prayers, because I will always believe they are the best medicine. I'm off to see the wizard and will report the good news w...

Help, I know I saw a post or two on this subject but truly don't remember where or if it was even on this site. My NIB 1871 breaks open when you shoot it sometimes, not all the time but enough that it is a little disconcerning to the shooter. Does anybody know of the fix or cause's of this. Thanks. ...

I am thinking about doing this exact conversion. I would like to change the barrel because I want the octagon barrel, though reboring would be cheaper I am sure.

On the property we hunt most of the deer have been taken between 10 am and 1300, but we still go out early and stay late otherwise it wouldn't be hunting! Tom

Federal gold Medal match is in my OPINION the most accurate factory stuff out there, but it is target only as far as I am concerned. Tom

But Hobie..in the late 70's and early 80's in my neck of Va the debate was still going on whether it was STANTON or STAUNTON ,so maybe not being able to pronounce the name of your town isn't a good test.

You betcha! I go through stages with guns about 15(20?) years ago I ws all hot and bothered by the milsurp stuff, and I think it was mainly because I could get the guns cheap and then cruise the gunshows looking for the right bayonet, and scabbard, and oiler and sling ect ect. Then I wasn't as into ...

I'm gonna vote for the lee turret even though I don't have one right now. I have used one for many thousand s of rounds and it worked great.
