Pete I think you nailed it.

Hawkeye2

All of them.

Seriously the one I really want back is the Model 75 Winchester target rifle with Redfield sights and sling that I got new for Christmas 1957 when I was in the 8th. grade. I sold it along with a few other guns to raise money to move to Virginia.

Shilo 1863 Sharps carbine, a gift from an old friend. You can believe I really appreciate it and am looking forward to shooting it next week. http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu119/hawkeyetoo/Shilo%20Sharps%20carbine%20013.jpg http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu119/hawkeyetoo/Shilo%20Sharps%20ca...

I expect it's a .32 rimfire of unknown origin and of little real value. Massive amounts of these were turned out from the 1880's on to sell cheap and they are often worn out or broken even if they didnt see much use.

Hawkeye2

Gee thanks Bill, all these years I had thought a homophone was a Civil War era band instrument.

Hawkeye2

It's all about the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

Hawkeye2

Are you trying to say the pistol is no good?

Actually I posted a piece of well you know but the forum changed the three letters to "no good"

Hawkeye2

Put the avatars back on the left and INCREASE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE TEXT AND THE BACKGROUND to make it easier to read. Doing away with the pink would be OK too. Other that that everything works well.

Hawkeye2

Thanks to all.

A true Rock N Roll pioneer. His influence on the music can't be overstated.

I had a smith take a dent out of the left barrel on my Parker 10 ga., so cheap I would not have even considered trying to make a dent remover and I'm not sure I would have driven very far to borrow one either. As far as Damascus barrels go I worked for a guy 36 years ago that had shot a Parker 12 wi...

Actually it's a 1911A1 and looks fine except for that ugly protrusion from the mag well. For the price I may have to take a second look. You did say they were reliable and shot GI spec ball fine?

Hawkeye2

"There's really no need for a 405 in Florida anyway."

Bet you could shoot the whole length of one of those pythons.

Hawkeye2

I had the chance to spend some time with a 95 in .405 a few years back. Hornady factory ammo, 3,330 ft-lbs, it would flatten the primer. It was New Years in Maine with a foot of snow on the range and I was wearing a goose down parka. I shot off the bench and didn't find the recoil uncomfortable but ...

I just got my LL Bean boots back today. Brand new bottoms and insoles for $41 + change delivered. I bought the boots back prior to 1985 and wore the tread off to the point they were dangerous on wet surfaces. The closest boot to the ones have are $179 today though they are lined (which I don't want)...

Hawkeye2

You might consider dovetailing a simple rear sight into the barrel just enough forward of the forcing cone so as to not get into trouble.

Hawkeye2

PB? Peanut Butter in a shotgun? :lol: From the 8th. grade on up my bedroom housed My 75 target rifle, an 86, a 94 and a Mossberg 12 ga. bolt. The room was permeated with the faint smell of Hoppes #9. I wish I had a bottle of the old formula to leave uncapped the room today and no I can't afford one ...

Blane, if you take the old battery in to Battery Mart they will rebuild it. They cut it open and replace the cells. Their rebuild has given better service than the original batteries in a couple of cases for me.

Hawkeye2

Well being in the title the link won't work for me and how about telling us what the link is about so we don't have to go there to find out it's something we really aren't even interested in.

Photobucket says it's a private album.

No mention of the vodka, pastries and hospitality? Are you sure you were in Poland?

Hawkeye2

A friend handed me one in .45 Colt a few years back and I believe he was hoping I would make an offer after I tried it. Fifty rounds of my cowboy loads later and I was not impressed by the accuracy. It was new and I had lots of jams, many stovepipe, and it didn't matter how fast or slow I worked th...

If a little Vaseline is good a lot is better right? I put some in a double boiler and filled it with balls when it all melted. I basically got a ball of Vaseline held together with cotton and it's almost easier to light a rock than it is to start one of these burning.

Disconnect the negative terminal and connect a test light (electric ice pick) between it and the cable. If the light glows at all you have a drain that could kill a battery in a few days. If your car has a factory burglar alarm it will kill the battery in a couple of weeks.

Sorry for the double post, my computer has been giving me fits lately.

I found the following: 'the words “Zhang-Zhou Machine Works China” are crudely stamped on the receiver' and Century International is an importer not a manufacturer. Based on what I have read online over the years and the experiences of 2 friends that have owned "Made in China" '87s I would...

Unfortunately brass starts at 12 and goes down from there. I would gladly pay twice the price of the smaller gauges for 10 ga.. Woah, just found 10 gauge brass starting at $10.26 per shell + shipping, I guess that's not going to happen. The last I remember the 12 ga. Parker headstamp brass was about...

Hawkeye2

I wish I could help but........ I have a full box of unfired Remington 10s that take a small primer that I don't know what to do with. I've had them for about 45 years now and my great uncle probably had them even longer than that. I have a 10 gauge Parker and a Winchester 1901 that I would like to ...

You certinally won't starve as that'l be the last thing to go off the shelves.

Send it to me and I'll store it for you. It'll get very good care and exercise once in a while but you shouldn't wait as I only have room for a few more and the space may get filled up quickly.

Riding home standing on the bed of a flatbed truck with no sideboards after picking cucumbers and squash for $.50/hr ($.75/hr. if we really humped).

Hoeing corn in the hot sun while the farmer ran his 2 cylinder JD with a cultivator and sang hymns at the top of his voice.

Riding home from high school in my buddy's '50 Merc with a hopped up flathead. Hanging out at the Gulf station across from the drive-in theater where I could get a Pepsi, a Drake's Devil Dog and a game on the pinball machine for a quarter and have 2 cents left over. Coke always tasted better in the ...

Hawkeye2

Johnny a good 'smith can fix that receiver. I believe the .32 receivers are different in the firing pin should be further from the centerline of the bore than a .22 to strike the .32 rim

Hawkeye2

Any real gunsmith (not a scope installer) can do the job for you, it isn't rocket science. You might consider having the barrel threaded for removable choke tubes. It probably wouldn't cost a lot more and would give you a more versatile gun.

Hawkeye2

I would like to think it's a positive response to the visual pollution and trash issues they cause but I doubt it. Liberals that can't tolerate outdoor advertising have no problems with it when it supports their choice. Pull them after the election and use them for target stands/backers.

Hawkeye2

Remington-Ryder D/A New Model Belt Revolver 1863-1873, .36 cal.. I've always wished someone would repop these. They would be a fun gun with a conversion cylinder.

Hawkeye2

Really great to see you back here again, hope you plan on hanging around for a while. I was going to suggest you tell us about your steam boats till I saw the board track racer. Without reading I would have thought it was a vintage machine. If you find the time I would love to hear all about it.

My first ride was a full house 56 Royal Enfield Indian. God that thing would run!

Royal Enfield, don't see many of them anymore.

[quote="Rusty"]I was having a campfire chat with an older friend years ago. He always wondered what a .25 ACP would be like in a handgun that was capable of better accuracy than all those little pocket autos. It might be interesting. I've wondered the same thing for 30 or more years. I wou...

They have a low percentage of negative feedback but the ones I read were scary. I guess it's buyer beware. $100 card for $82 + shipping which I couldn't get the listing to calculate but from the reviews it seems to run about $8 (less than $1 for them to send) so you save $10. The real downside is th...

I had discovered that site a couple of weeks back and found it very interesting. Thanks for the mention of "The Dakotas", never saw it and I'll be looking for episodes on utube now. Elam played some of the most despicable villans ever in the westerns.

Tom will be playing a destroyer captain in his next movie. I'm not sure about a remake of "The Cain Mutiny". I have always felt the cast was excellent in the original, a great movie and Queeg's breakdown on the stand was Bogart's greatest scene. While there have been some excellent remakes...

Nice, wish it were mine. While you are at it turn that front sight around too.

Not to hijack this thread but every man, woman and child in this country will be faced with the same or even worse issues once socialized medicine is firmly entrenched and it's highly unlikely there will be any organizations out there to help.
