I don't mind on waiting a few months on ordering but not responding to emails and their voice mail box is full bothers me! I'll try calling again this week and see what happens.

Is this company still around? I've been trying to get a hold of someone for a couple of weeks now but no answer. Their website is up and running. Tried to leave a message, but their answering machine is full.

I would go with my Savage 99F in 308 Win since I can load it with match bullets and has mounts for scope. My newly acquired Winchester 94 in 307 would fit the bill also but is limited with bullet selection and no scope mount.

Thanks for the feedback gentleman! I got till tomorrow to make a decision.

Someone that I know is clearing some of his firearms is selling a 94AE 307 Win. Has the Monte Carlo stock, non-checkered so I'm thinking the year is 83 ish? Really good shape, no box or papers. He wants $950. What you think?

Thanks!

Thanks!

In this day and age, the first question that needs to be answered what is really considered to be "Normal Person"??? After that, then it can be broken down further. Maybe this question gets too deep?

Had a couple, all Chevy's. This is my baby! 68 Chevy K20, 4 speed, 400 SBC but planning on putting back the 307 SBC when the time comes. Mainehunter Super nice guy!

No problem! I prefer factory when I find one. The funny thing is I found a aftermarket clip on GB going for $80!

It was 13 years ago today, March 30, 2007, that this forum was set up as a permanent replacement for the old sixgunner.com based leverguns forum . Hard to believe it's been almost a decade and a half. WOW!!! I remember them days!!! :D Can't believe it's been that long! Thanks for keeping this going...

WHAT ABOUT UV LIGHT? I haven't heard anything about it being used against the china-war-virus, but I thought I maybe remembered that UV is used in treating some food stuffs, and I think I thought that it is also used in sterilizing water, or maybe not. Anyone know anything about this? There are thr...

I think 250° is as low as mine will go.

My oven goes down to 170 but I would try a dryer first at the lowest setting which is around 135 degrees. If it's heat sensitive, keep an eye on it during the cycle.

I'm sure that'll work but depends on what material their PPE is. Since I'm a sub-contractor to work on the decontamination washers and steam sterilizers, my PPE is blue scrubs and maybe the white cloth bunny suites if I'm on the dirty side of the department where the instruments comes down from surg...

You guys aren't making this any easier on the cartridge choice but all of them that been mentioned here is worth looking into! :D One thing to keep in consideration, I think is the Ruger No. 1's or 3's aren't known for their accuracy as target rifles BUT I've seen they can be if you fine tune the fo...

From what I've read and told, there were a 100 of these receivers built by Ruger for the original members of the Single Shot Rifle Association. The original members had first dibs and supposedly the corresponding lot number represented their membership number. After that if there were any leftovers ...

It's going to be awhile till I get it sent out but at the moment I love to do it in a 35 caliber, maybe 35 WCF. If varmints is on the agenda mostly, I'm thinking 257 Roberts or 6.5x55. If woods loafing or stalking rifle I'm leaning towards 25-35 AI. Other ideas that pop up are 30-40 Krag, 33 WCF and...

Just took delivery on this jem! It's in the white and never been barreled or chambered. Now the hard part is to figure out what caliber I want it in?

I’ve yet to take a walk on the “Blue Side” but I may one day ! I was looking at the new Dillon catalog at the shop the other day when it arrived and noticed they’d changed to 750 also the 1050 is called 1100 now of memory serves . What features does the 750 have that couldn’t be had on the 650 ? Th...

Simple Green is very useful! Use it mostly for cleaning up carburetor's in sonics. Quite effective!

My Remington 700 gets a lot of copper fouling in the bore. I wonder if fire lapping may help. I have hesitated because the accuracy is right at 1 inch at 100 yards with almost any bullet and powder I use for up to 20 rounds. After that it is time to use a copper fouling remover again. I never shoot...

I've done it with a few rifles in the past. Pretty simple and quite effective! I bought the lamping components from Beartooth Bullets.

Got a call around lunch time from someone at a fund raiser and said my name got picked! Never won anything so I'm pretty excited. The bow is a Bowtech Revolt series and I can pick what model I want and color so that's pretty cool. I haven't shot bows in like 30 years and it was just for recreation b...

Received a voicemail from my gunsmith today he's pulling the plug on my Mini 14, 350 Legend project!

He's running into several issues primarily dealing with head space issues. Not happy at the moment! Had my heart set on the 350L in the Mini platform.

Thanks for the info 6pt-sika! The gun shop said the previous own had the rifle checked out by a gunsmith in the area and did say the barrel is done so don't know if he used a bore scope.

I was mildly interested when the .350 Legend was announced.....that faded quickly when I found out about the .355 diameter. I've a good bit of experience with a .357 Maximum single shot rifle and it is very effective on whitetails out to about 150 yards. Devastating closer in at 30 to 75 yards. Why...

Now her talking- in a mini that is going to be a handy rig! Have you figured out the magazine yet ? The gunsmith has been using 6.8 SPC mags but with a modified follower and spring.

Like others here though, I have no real need for one.... Me either, however, I think it would make a great pig gun as well as a great alternative to the 30-30 as a deer hunting rifle. I'd like to see Ruger do a Mini 350 just so they'd have a .35 caliber offering in an American caliber. Nothing wron...

She looks good to me! I would make up some loads or run a box or two of ammo and see how she shoots!
