Prays up as always for you Doc. My dad was a GP in the old days, passed away in 1973. He could have never lived thru this foolishness.

Rusty

My GP100 measures 1.608”, while my RBH measures 1.640”. Both are 357 Mag. Incidentally, my Old Model Vaquero in 45 Colt measures 1.700”. Thanks, so I guess that means my N frame would be longer than the GP 100. Generally a thought if you're going to be pushing heavier bullets that are stepping righ...

Rusty

Paco used to make a 28 and a .410 reloader, have you checked that?

Rusty

I was paging thru my copy of Paco's book that he printed a few nights ago reading up on some .357 Magnum information. In the book Paco says that Ruger Blackhawk has a longer cylinder than the S&W N frames do. I was wondering if anyone might know how the GP 100 rates in this? Is the GP 100 as lon...

Years ago the magazine MOTHER EARTH NEWS printed a few articles about how to build a water wheel for a low output hydroelectric setups. I always thought I'd like to have one of those if only I had a stream.

Rusty

I've been using that for some time. Amazon makes the donation and it doesn't cost me anything.

Rusty

I love that guy. He is the sheriff in the county just east of us. If there were more sheriffs like him this country wouldn't be in the shape it's in.

Rusty

I tried Midway a while back and they were about out of stock. That was 6 months ago. I think it's about time to call the company and see who they're shipping to.

Rusty

That was one of the reasons I didn't go with the Henry when I was looking for a pistol caliber carbine. I ended up going with a Ruger 77/357 instead. I just need to shoot it more.

Rusty

My wife just left the house to go have a heart cath. Thank you.

Rusty

Very nice, looks like a Jaeger style.

Rusty

Jr is going to end up with it however it comes out, but wouldn't you know it he came over today and II handed him the pistol and before I could explain anything to him he was standing there with it torn down down in three pieces. I guess I need that carpel tunnel surgery more than I thought.

Rusty

I looked at the tank models but we don't do enough printing to make it worthwhile so I got the same version that uses the cartridges. I haven't had any problems but haven't used it much either.

I was wondering about that too.

Rusty

Thanks GK,
This one isn't the topbreak. It just has a pin that holds the cylinder in the frame. These were made from the late 20s till 1952. The trouble is getting the pin out, it is tough.

Rusty

I was given one of these today by a family member only to learn it has been in the family for quite some time. According to the serial number it was made around 1937-38. It looks like new and I kind of wonder if it's even been shot. The latch that holds the cylinder pin in is really tight. I was won...

In our town no work boots were looted.

Rusty

I was all :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: until read that "solid rear axle"... then my butt started to hurt! Heck Griff you could get it fixed with a Bostrom seat. When I was a kid we used to go to the city in downtown Baltimore. I'd see traffic cops ridding Harley trike...

My sweet little Methodist grandmother from West Virginia was a life long Democrat. She never knew why except that her father had always been a Democrat. Some of you might remember Junior that was a member here some years ago. I believe he was in the same situation, it was a family tradition and he d...

Rusty

I bought a 500 for my son's past wife when they were married about a year ago now. While it wasn't the same feel of the 500 I got for my 10th birthday back in 1966 it was a nice feeling gun. I've even thought of buying one for for my self or should I say for my wife. The one I bought for my past dau...

I saw that on another website. Hard to believe we've been around that long. It seems like just yesterday I was watching those programs with my fanner fifty by my side.

Rusty

In many cases it's not an issue of shopping around till you find something made in America. There is nothing made in America to replace it with. I read several years ago that the liquid crystal display for either a Bradley or some other piece of American armor was being made overseas. In the event o...

Scouring over the net for things to make me smarter I came across this. A WORD ON WESTERNS is a Youtube channel hosted by Bob Word He has been doing interviews once a week for the last seven years with people that have played parts in all kinds of western movies. If you browse the videos on the chan...

Rusty

If you get a copy of one of the Foxfire books, Foxfire # 5 has a chapter in it where that talk about Flintlock rifle making. They talk about aquafortis on a maple stock.

Rusty

Nice job Jay. I'd have known those slippers anywhere.

Rusty

Way to go gramps!

Rusty

I was living happily ever after with Windoz 7 Home Edition until they started all the bait and switch games. One thing I did know was that I didn't want Windoz 10. I kept putting it off until finally MS pushed the program on me unwanted. I woke up one morning and there it was. I looked around online...

I never heard Dirty Harry ever carried anything but a .44 mag, never heard the stuff about the other calibers. I did hear though that in a few scenes he carried an 8 3/8th version instead of the 6.5 for the added screen effect.

Rusty

I own and shoot M19 in 6 inch and 4 inch configurations. Many thousands of rounds of Super Vel 110 and 125 and my own 125 hand loads have gone through the 6 incher and it still hits where I point it. It has shot its share of heavier bullets on up to and including BB 180 grain. It is my handgun vers...

Rusty

Hey guys, my old laptop died and I knew there was going to be some changes made here on the board so I didn't try to jump right back in with everything else going on. I could watch but not respond to anything. Is the board as it is now pretty much what it will be from now on?
Just wondering? Thanks.

I heard it was closed about the same day the NRA Annual show was going to be closed in Nashville.

One of my wife's co-workers is having her mother home school the kids while they are off. She starts off every day with the pledge of allegiance and the Star Bangled Banner.

Just heard on the AM news from Tampa The Buccaneers have made it official. There are also free agents all over the league that are having their agents reaching out to the Bucs saying they would like to be considered.

Rusty

Maybe that Lyman would do better in a warmer climate. Send it on down here to Florida and I'll take care of it for you.

Rusty

My best friend in high school's dad had a 99 that was his pride and joy. It was in .308 with the spool type magazine. I think that rifle had the best feel of any rifle I've ever seen If you looked at something and put the rifle up to your shoulder the cross hairs were on it. It was a beautiful thing...

Rusty

Thanks guys, I knew there were several people here that had them but I don't remember anyone saying anything about the problems he seemed to be having. I do remember someone that was reloading for a BAR and it required small base dies, but that's another mater.

Rusty

I have a friend that is a big beer drinker. Last year he went to Ireland because his wife had always wanted to go. While he was there he tried his first ever Guinness.He said it was the worst stuff he'd ever put in his mouth. He said thank God you could find Coors Light everywhere of he'd have died ...

11:00 news here in Tampa on the Fox station showed a computer generated picture of Brady they say was released by the NFL. Think of it moving to a state with no state income tax, that's a raise right there.

Rusty

The 4 PM news on TV says he's coming to Tampa. If he does something with this team he'll be making chicken salad out of chicken poop.

Rusty

I know some guys here have them and I just saw someone shoot one for the first time. I don't know anything about them so I wanted to ask those that have them. Hickok 45 just did a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRGaWMg7_IM&feature=em-uploademail where he tested one out. The one thing I no...

I am so, so sorry to hear that you won't be able to go. The new Parker seems like at least some consolation.

Rusty

It's my bed time so I couldn't listen to much of that but I have been reading about operation paper clip for over 40 years. I have no reason to doubt the fact that it happened. I know some sources also claim that after WWII we were on a somewhat friendly basis with Russia. We actually split up resou...

Here in central Florida Jr. went to Wal mart Sat evening for a regular grocery run. He said the shelves were empty on toilet paper. If you wanted any you had to que up at the lay away counter and you could buy 1 package. He said every thing else seemed to pretty much on the shelves as normal. Anybod...

Is that story where your wife backed you up with the shotgun in there?

Rusty

Has to be 30-40 Krag, THE American single shot cartridge. Can be loaded for soft shooting 200 yard targets with 4227 and the Lyman 311284 and, in the Ruger action, to match 308 Win target loads with H4350 and a Berger 175 grs VLD. That's the one that actually comes to mind for me too but I wouldn't...

I went to the movie house in town about 1972 I think to see a movie called ALASKAN SAFARI. It's hard to even find any reference to it now. The one movie I saw by that name says it was about a beat hunt but I seem to remember them shooting other game me as well. In one scene some guy assumed a sittin...

I have one just like it I put a carry handle on mine because the thing is just so accurate. I have a Skinner sight for it too, thinking of changing it out and putting the Skinner on it just because it would look better.

I had never heard of them before but they had a bunch of strange looking rifles with a ...

We have a friend that is over there right now in Manila as part of his construction job.
