Agreed! Spinal or head shot. It definitely shut things down instantly.

I'm a fan of almost any old gun, but my favorites are old single shot rifles, especially Marlin Ballards, and late 1800's schuetzen rifles. I collect old ammo, and also old shooting accessories and tools too. Do some gun restoration and repairs, as my skills and tools allow also. I also have owned a...

I watched the video on slo-mo and missed the reload ... I'm getting blind. I also found the video on You-tube. I feel sorry for the store owner. One dead and one maybe injured. The second dirt bag stumbled under the fusillade of bullets on the way out of the store. I'll bet he caught one too. Joe N...

Yes, the point of the video - getting all people to pay attention to its salient points to save lives - has been promoted. I think us Levergunners, being mainly a Conservative bunch, are killing the messenger and getting unnecessarily caught up with demographics. As much as I hate what Liberals hav...

I suppose a montage type video where the shooter was shown in a variety of garbs and so on each time the video kicked back to the shooter could have made the point better: that the bad-guy may look Muslim, redneck, Nazi, psychotic, agitated, calm, and be old, young, black, white, male, female or ev...

Was told it happened in a shop in Atlanta, Georgia called "Dixie Gun Shop". I've watched it over and over, and besides being well trained, the owner took advantage of the thug going for the belly gun to react with his own gun. Not only did he react accurately, but he did a reload in the mi...

Comparing Tel Aviv airports to anything in the USA is ridiculous. Of course an airport in Tel Aviv has a totally different set of circumstances than the average business in the US has, and thus is looking for very specific types, which profiling provides for them. But to say that recent mass shootin...

And as long as we're on the subject of what a mass shooter looks like. Might as well list the many shooters who were the source of the term "Going postal"! None of these people looked a certain way, and they ranged in age and gender across the board. Edmond, Oklahoma, in 1986[edit] On Augu...

I'm not sure what your point is anymore other than you seem to take issue with me identifying muslim jihadists as a bigger threat than a white male with military bearing. . Please show me where I ever mentioned or referred to muslims, or taking issue with you pointing out anything? Never took issue...

marlinman93

A major function of being prepared is always being aware of your surroundings. Don't ever let yourself feel safe because of where you are. You can't always identify the threat before it's too late, and you can rarely react quick enough if you let your guard down. The threat wont always look like a t...

If the girl had worn a Hillary sweatshirt to school she'd be idolized by the same teacher! I doubt kids in the classroom were as upset about the shirt as the teacher likely was! She likely used that story after she knew she was in trouble for belittling and shaming the young girl.

Dropping the Ranger pickup was one of Ford's biggest mistakes. One of the best selling trucks Ford ever offered, and the 4 cylinder version was one of the finest little pickups ever made. I've never been a Ford guy, but always admired how good the Ranger was, and how many were still on the road with...

We can argue all day long about what a shooter may look like. It has little to do with the real issue of being prepared, and knowing how to respond when it happens. I doubt when shots are fired that anyone cares how the shooter is dressed, or what color he or she is.

BTW, I don't intentionally put out bad stuff....Anybody that was around back in those days could not have missed this. You had to ASK, and you got a Member number. http://www.marlinowners.com/forum/444-marlin/33133-team-444-membership.html I had no trouble "missing it" as I rarely looked ...

"Over There" the poison started when some egomaniac started a private 444 club, members only, that you had to ask permission to join, and they had 444 raffles, all the while Plank Owners at Larry's site, who chipped in funds to keep it going, were trying to protest that BS. And, at that t...

If you're talking Marlinowners, it's still there. They had a big shake up 2-3 years ago and a lot of great people left. Another lever gun site sprang up from those who left, and it's got good folks, and great info.

I've never asked if anyone carries in our church. I figured nobody asks me, so why would I ask. But I know we don't have metal detectors, and glad we don't!

Not sure how this could be construed as antigun video? Seems like a great video, and considering how many buildings and work scenarios wont allow concealed carry guns, it's imperative that people know their best options when stuck in a situation that doesn't allow them a good defense. I liked the vi...

Went through the same thing once. If you change the email first, it's pretty tough to let someone know afterwards! Since you're locked out, you need to contact someone and no access to the forum to tell anyone!

Who needs a remote control? People who want to change channels or volume without taking their eyes off the road, or reaching for the dash. I have remote control radios in both of my hotrods, as the radios are concealed to avoid having a modern radio in an old dashboard. For my use it's a wonderful a...

C Sharps is a top quality rifle, and I doubt you'll ever regret buying one. Surprised that Ohio wont consider the .40-65 legal. It's pretty hard to even see a "bottleneck" on a .40-65 case!

It appears the improvement may be the longer handles, and CNC machined aluminum vs. cast aluminum. If it's less than a used Huntington, then its a better choice just for that reason. I really like mine, and this prototype is all steel, except for the anodized aluminum handle spacers. It full length ...

marlinman93

I have one of the first runs of these Buchanan presses and they are very well made. He designed it around the Huntington but with improvements. What "improvements" over the Huntington? I don't see anything that's really different? Especially when compared to the pre mass production Huntin...

marlinman93

I like that design! But it sparked a thought (dangerous!) in my mind. If that center leg/upright was able to slip in and be secured with a thumb screw or bolt, they could become portable, and easy to transport anywhere you might want to use them!

marlinman93

I own one of the prototypes that Fred Huntington made before they became mass produced. It's what the press in this topic copies, as have some others also. The original Huntington is a very nicely built hand press, and I use mine often at the range for load workup. It and my Harrell's powder measure...

Good makeshift way to hold those headless or short screws while trimming them. Went through this years ago also, and I decided to make a "jig" to trim screws. Got a short piece of 1/8" thick flat bar and drilled and tapped holes in it for every screw size I might encounter on my guns....

I realize there's a huge following for both Elmer Keith, and PO Ackley, and their attempts to wring every foot of velocity out of whatever they were shooting. Keith was wonderful to read, and I think I've got most of what he wrote! Without being sacrilegious, and getting flamed by every starry eyed ...

I don't believe the Phoenix had any Burgess patents used? I think (not sure) that Whitney totally designed the Phoenix on their own. It was a pretty simple design, and a low cost gun to buy. They were made at the same time Whitney built Rolling Block style singles, but I see far more Phoenix than Wh...

If you like big guns that fly, it's hard to beat an A10 Warthog.

What always puzzles me is why people continue to want to push guns up to and past their normal levels? All three of the guns mentioned will handle the major factory ammunition made, and kill anything in North America with ease. So why do people want to see how far they can push them, and attempt to ...

marlinman93

Yeah, for that price I'd expect they would be rough! Hopefully they function.

It would seem to me that the state of Kansas should be the one fighting this battle in court, not the seller or buyer. Since the state introduced legislation that counters or overrides federal law, it is up to them to fight the feds for the citizens of their state. If that means a long and expensive...

I looked at both Colt and USFA SAA pistols once, and just couldn't make up my mind. The Colt I figured would hold it's value better, but the USFA was as nice looking as the Colt, for a little less money. In the meantime I stumbled across an AWA (American Western Arms) SAA in the same .45 Colt calibe...

I carry a pistol along whenever I'm out hunting or fishing in Oregon. Regardless of what I'm doing, I wont carry a heavy pistol, as it quickly becomes a burden after a few hours of walking or hiking. I usually carry my S&W model 60 stainless 5 shot .38 Spl. as a backup. But if I'm fishing I some...

I've only owned two Whitney Kennedys. One in .44-40 and another in .40-60. I didn't have ay issues with cycling in either gun. I was collecting pre WWI Marlin rifles at the time, and stumbled across the two Whitneys at different times. I always thought they were a really nice gun, and very significa...

A real work of art, but surely not something designed to be used. That chain grip sure wouldn't be comfortable, even though it looks pretty cool!

Not real happy, since Christmas is usually when we do some family shootin' ( ...I laugh when I think how strange that must sound to city-folk ... :o ). I get ticked enough at some family members the rest of the year, so can't wait until Christmas to do some "family shootin" Some of them n...

The Whitney Kennedy shares a lot of design similarities with the 1881 Marlin, and Colt Burgess. A lot of Burgess patent influences in all three gun models. All are top eject.

Very nicely done, regardless of maker!

Sounds like you've got a great recycle program going Sixgun! And ensuring it doesn't bring the wrong type of critters up to your house either.

:idea: Talk to owners of bars, taprooms, wine servers, restaurants with booze, bars with food etc and see how uncomplicated they think it is to conform to weird WA laws. Washington and Oregon have different laws which is why we cannot have reciprocity in concealed carry. Which is why people get int...

That's a gorgeous WK, and beyond it's superb condition, it's a rare variation too! Great find!!!

Doubt a fox that calmly observes you at the door, or simply waits outside for a treat, has rabies. More likely he is tame (as others mentioned) and is waiting for a hand out. Not that a fox wouldn't take a cat or small dog, so I'd keep them inside, but not worry about rabies in that one.

marlinman93

Evidently, it's ok to consume adult drinks while carrying in WA....There's a complicated formula to determine what part of a bar/restaurant can be carried in, or not. Has to do with a % of food v. booze sales, and whether or not kids are allowed, etc. Washington seems to be an exception, though, ma...

Do you have the old broken pin? If so, any good gunsmith can drill it and replace the tip to make it like new again.

marlinman93

I already have more than enough stuff to carry when I head out coyote hunting. My backup is on my hip, as it keeps me hands free, and doesn't add to the load I already carry.

marlinman93

It's illegal in every state I know to carry concealed if you plan to drink alcohol. I don't see this as an issue, as anyone planning on drinking at a sporting event needs to obey the law and leave their carry gun home. Carry responsibly, or lose your right to carry.
