Thank you all. God bless.

Have a great B-day all! May you be blessed with many more.

Friday night, my daughter's boyfriend (not fiancee yet but were moving in that direction) was in a very serious car accident while driving down from VA to NC to meet my daughter. Severe head trauma; an induced coma did not alleviate the ICP. Last night a craniectomy was performed...a measure of last...

Thanks Victor for posting this. Mike came through neck surgery this morning with no complications. We will know more about prospects for recovery tomorrow and after speaking with the doctor.

Thanks all for your prayers.

I love the way the Kahr P380m shoots, and IMHO, it has better fit/function than the Kel-Tec, and less felt recoil than the Seecamp.32 and Kel-Tec .380. I believe they have a CM version out now as well for about $300.

I would be very interested in some of the green argalite and some agate. Please let me know where to send you money, in a pm. I will never get to Alaska and would really love to chance to get some nice pieces for my collection. Thanks, Steve Me too, 7.62. Please IM me with details for payment and s...

I grew up in Baltimore, but I am not inclined to go to that Communist state any more than I must, and certainly do not plan to be there in any connection with guns.

alnitak

Well, I finally made it to the range today to test out the puzzle gun I had built over the last five or so years. It's probably been done for almost a year, but am just now getting to the range. For those of you I've pestered with questions over the years...thank you! I was very pleased with how the...

Thanks. I repeated the test with another case that I made sure to FL resize...with same results. Primer seated fully. Think I'm good to go.

alnitak

I use it as a resource for information/research, and occasionally, a look at or buy from the classifieds. Knowledgeable people there...only thing I have to contribute is questions.

alnitak

Thanks all! I appreciate the advice and will provide an update when I get to the range.

alnitak

Thanks. But given this is the only time I'll need one, I'll either borrow one, get a factory fresh shell and use the above method, or get a long string.

alnitak

I would think $250 would be tops.

alnitak

Use BrentD's method and you can skip the string thing, alnitak. And I'm sure your know that Brent meant for you to use a factory-new case for the test. Both my 30/30's show some excess headspace and yet I've never lost a case to head separation: The old "thutty" must be pretty forgiving.....

LOL...believe me, I've considered this! If I had a shooting sled I could strap it into at the range, I'd do that very thing.

alnitak

1. Carefully, measure an empty case length wise across the center axis of the case. Be sure that you know the orientation of the case so you can repeat this measurement and get the same number several times in a row. 2. Take a SPENT primer and insert it 1/2 into the brass 3. Insert the brass into t...

A hobby you make money from is called a job, which can often transform into a soul-sucking experience. I try to maintain my hobbies as a soul-restoring experience. Hear, hear! I agree with this! My wife would say I have too many hobbies...and wish I would put that energy into other "priorities...

Last year I finished up a pre-64 1894 puzzle gun that I've acquired parts for on and off for years (BTW, big thanks to Griff, Joe and a number of others for their advice...and parts over that time). I have not shot it yet, but am planning to take it out soon. Everything seems to be in working order,...

Thanks for the pics, Mike. Looks great! Good luck with it.

So where are the pics?? No pics, it didn't happen...lol

I prefer the PM9 to the Shield. Mine has been flawless with near 2k rounds through it.

Thanks all!

alnitak

Go for it! Wonderful rifle...as accurate an any 10/22. Get the one pre-threaded and save $120 to send it off to be done.

I like the early to mid-80's (IIRC) Marlin 1894 with the gold trigger and 18.5" barrel (no safety). Sorry I sold mine some years ago. They are tough to find.

alnitak

Yeah, that's a great lens... but, as an amateur, maybe even a semi-serious one... $2+K? But, hey! I have a birthday comin' up! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: LOL...yeah. Good glass does sometimes cost a little bit. And I agree with you on the superzooms. Those around 5x or less can be good quality (like the N...

alnitak

Zooms are nice and convenient, but... in the main they mean less quality in the final image over the equivalent fixed lens. For consumer lenses, yes. But pro-quality zooms can deliver equivalent (or even better) IQ, especially when you consider that many primes are not their sharpest wide open. The...

I shoot Nikon as well, so don't hesitate to ask if you have questions about the camera. Some other tips: Generally, use the "A" mode (aperture) for best control of your shot (not program mode); it will automatically adjust the shutter speed for the aperture you select. This is best for mos...

I always eat venison (and other meats) rare, so don't buy the "cook all the way through" school. I will marinade in a combination of wine, Worchestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary (or sage) and thyme, and dijon mustard, then bake (often with the marinade) in a covered dish at...

You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home.

I love the Bisley grips. While I didn't have a .45, I had them in .44 mag/spl and .357/.38. They fit my hand perfectly and tame the recoil. I prefer having a grip I can get all my fingers on, rather than the pinkie under, though others prefer the plow-handle grip.

AJ, I've looked at the Choate stocks, and a number of people recommend them. They seem to be a full-featured stock for considerably less than their Manners, McMillan, AICS counterparts. However, I must say I am partial to the M40 style stock, which I see as serving both as a hunting and tactical sto...

So can you ballpark us a figure on what it has cost to get to this point? I spent some time looking, and think I got good deals on most of the components, some from classifieds like Snipers Hide and Long Range Hunting. Rifle was new in box, and included the 20 MoA rail and muzzle brake. Scope I got...

Great news! I congratulate you on your persistence and making a plan to effect a chosen outcome.

I could be wrong, but thought the rebounding hammer came in the early 90's, maybe '92? I know my 1994 had it.
