From time to time I have mentioned that I have developed the perfect "Jeep" gun. For many years, a Charter Arms AR-7 was my jeep gun. But after a while, I figured out it was a bit "light" for some uses. I began my search anew. Turned out I had the makings of the perfect jeep gun ...

jeepnik

Pop, that's a darned sweet idea, using a 39 for a "survival" rifle. For years I carried an AR-7 in my jeep, it now rides in my wife's sedan trunk. But I found, and you might as well someday, that the .22 is a bit light for some jobs, and completely wrong for others. I converted my first sh...

Red River makes tang sights that are supposed to be useable by lefties.

I think you're getting a bit beyond the large caliber double here. I'm thinking maybe a LAW, or at least a 40mm gernade.

Looks remind me of the old Devel's. Had one and gave it to my nephew, my boys weren't too happy about that, but he was a rookie officer at the time and needed something small. But what the heck, he's a good kid, and talked my youngest into a law enforcement career. I had to do an internet search to...

Congratulations sir. Now the fun begins.

I've been using the CMore on my GS for several years, and the Ruger has a cheapy BSA mounted. Both work very well. Not sure how the BSA would hold up to serious recoil, hence the use on the Ruger. But the C More handles the stiffest stuff from Buffalo Bore without any shifting. They are both very, v...

OS, you might keep an eye out for a gem and mineral show locally. Those folks are usually pretty darned sharp. There's a big one in Tuscon every February. But this is mostly for professionals looking to buy stones. There's one in Pomona at the L.A. County Fair Grounds, in November. If you aren't in ...

My wife went to her birthday party last night with her sisters. one of them handed her a box and said here, I bought this for us but we didn't like it so we thought you might. It is the first year box set of "The Guns of Will Sonnett." I've looked for this off and on for a while and never...

You know, 35K sound high, but consider, you can pay that much for a car. In ten years, the car will be worth $300. In ten years, the rifle will still get you, at least 35K. Now, if I can just get my wife to buy that argument.

I've got a few pieces from him. And, I'm one of his biggest boosters. The only bad thing is that he is taking orders for November. Bad for those of us who are the want it now types, but good for him. Gotta say I'm happy he has such a long lead time. It means he'll be around for awhile, besides I may...

Sound like you have on heck of a kid there. Most of today's kids seem to want everything handed to them. Yep, you got a special one there. Oh, and on the subject of cleaning guns. The saddest day of my life was when my youngest went off to boot camp. I had to start cleaning my own guns again. Them b...

What, no pictures? I showed you mine, now show me your's.

Well Doc, that musta been a harrowing experience. Glad you didn't survive to tell us about it.

Well, it's a darned close second to two ply T P. You can use it to wrap up a cut just like you can T P, but I'd sure hate to try and wipe with it.

YK, you gotta get one of these for your snubbie. It's more fun than should be allowed.

Darned Dropbear sounds frightening. But I've heard tell these critters can skewer you in a heart beat.

Way off gents. It would have to be something we use daily and take for granted. I'll go with two ply toilet paper.

Oh this sort of thing happens from time to time. Forum mods on a few sites can sometimes get a "god" complex, and if they don't agree with you, they'll try to push you toward their way of thinking. There's another manufacturer specific levergun site that's sorta infamous for that. Quite a ...

I've got several. Say what you will about battery power and bulbs they go out at the worst of times. With th old Coleman, keep a few spare mantles and some white gas around, and you're good to go come what may. That and my old coleman stove would make any camping trip a breeze.

jeepnik

As were going pound for pound, I'll put up the sidewinder. Watched on repeatedly attack a truck tire. The darned thing wasn't going to give up. And onery, they are born with a bad temper.

Sometimes things just happen this way. I very sorry for you and your wife. But that little guy knew love while he was with you.

hope your top scout feels better soon.... and I hope your.....procedure turned out well too.. Did the same thing a few months back... That stuff they make you drink should be outlawed... or at least make it taste like beer! If they outlaw waterboarding, I know what we can use as a replacement! :win...

I wonder if they are going to stick one of those "Green Product" stickers on it next.

Like AJMD, I mounted a holo site in the scout position. As for the flashlight mount, though it's not shown here, I picked up one from Wild West Guns. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Jeepnik/M%20O%20Pictures/MarlinSlingButtCuff-1.jpg Truthfully, I haven't had any real utility out of the flashl...

You know, that gives me an idea. I've posted this photo under the title Real Homeland Security before. I should put it on a T shirt.

Pits are like any breed. They can be raised right or wrong. Yea, it's possible to get one that is mentally unstable. That can happen with any breed. But the only piet I've personally ever seen that went off turned out to have parvo. Otherwise, well raised and trained pits are good dogs. The best exa...

Here's one example of where a "scout" mounted optic really comes into it's own. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Jeepnik/M%20O%20Pictures/SSM1A1.jpg It's well balanced, shoots better than I ever could, and with a quick turn of the levers, the optic is off, and the excellent factory s...

Bit pricey, although good condition old Smiths are getting harder to find. Seems folks are holding on to them and passing them down. I've found a few really nice ones, at fairly reasonable prices at estate sales. This is a bargain right now. It will probably close at or above $2000. That's the prob...

One word for us at the southern end of the state. Arizona.

jeepnik

Do you have a .44 mag levergun? If so, go with the Contender. Heck go with the contender anyway, then you can buy different barrels. My eldest has an Encore and several barrels. I kinda like the switch barrel idea.

Well, Happy Birthday Canada. Or should that be Happy Undependence Day. You managed to keep a better relationship with Great Britain when you parted ways than we did.

35 Whelen just because it's fun to get a new rifle 8) I can't imagine your .308 with a premium bullet not being just fine. Many moons ago, a friend built a 35 Whelen on a Mauser action. Douglas barrel, stock from Fajen (sp). Did everything but the bluing himself. Beautiful rifle. Then he took it on...

Lever can make you a customized cartridge belt. http://levergunleather.com/index.htm Personally I prefer an ammo "wallet", as they protect the rounds better. But for as many as you want to carry, it would probably be impractical to wear that many. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Jee...

jeepnik

Well, I agree that the .308 is enough for those critters. But since you ask about getting something new (isn't gret to have a really good reason), I'd suggest 45-70. Since it has with the proper loading taken the largest animals that walk the planet, it's more than enough for elk & moose. With t...

I have a BSA on a Ruger Mark I Target. Works okay, but I'm not sure it will stand up to much recoil. Remeber, you get what you pay for. On the other hand, I have a C-More on my 1895 GS. So far, it's held up without any apparent excessive wear and tear, and it has held zero. http://i49.photobucket.co...

Oh heck, there's a whole bunch of people, commonly called vets, that could have told you the 5.56 was less than perfect more than 40 years ago. But, the same problem existed then as exists now.

Well now, dogs and cats do work. I have a friend with a unique solution. Whitey, an albino ball python. Can't really say the snake has done anything, as it has never been in his attic, but he has never had any mice or rats in his house. I wonder if rodents can smell snakes?
