3leggedturtle, I have been in a Walmart in Mobile, and it must have been the same one as you because I have to agree......it was scary lol

Bridger

I love my regular BPS in 20 gauge.

Bridger

I don't have a peep sight on anything yet, but I have a couple of rifles that eventually are going to be wearing a Foolproof. My question is: I once read (in an older book) that for a hunting rifle, the best thing you could do was unscrew the little eyepiece, and throw it away. Is that true? It seem...

Bridger

I've got a '79 vintage 94 that is a non AE and I don't believe it has a scintered receiver. I could be wrong though as I have only handled a few that I knew for sure were. So take that for what it's worth. I can post pictures if anybody would like.

You mean after the six years of shortages that we're still not done bleeding from you walked past something you needed, had the dough, the price wasn't rape with assault and you kept right on walking? Mmm. Actually several answers to you question leap to mind here but I think I'll refrain. :) If I ...

Dang near any variety of 220 grain '06 ammo...a few months back, Gander mountain had some Core-Lokts for $20 or so a box, and I passed on them figuring I'd pick some up later. Not only do they not have any, neither does anybody else. Then, I says to myself, I'll buy a lee loader for an '06 and load ...

Bridger

Actually, I don't think that it says "Bieber". I think it says "Beefer" or something, and if you look close at the picture it kinda confirms it is something else.

Bridger

That has "truck gun" written all over it.

Bridger

I do own one....and I will store this post away for future reference. Thanks!

Bridger

PC 7 or PC 11 is some darn good stuff.....a local Ace should have it.

Bridger

When nuisance beaver trapping made up a major part of my income....I can guarantee yall I wasn't worried about fair chase lol. I followed the laws.....but I was focused on killing.

Bridger

The heck with the hazards of it all, I nearly cried watching all that ammo destroyed...

Bridger

The first thing I noticed was the stock on your rifle. Surely that isn't factory, or is it?

Bridger

Not all lawyers are bad, heck, as soon as I get out of forestry school I'm headed to law school myself....and I'm even a levergunner. But, the previous poster said prosecutors are the good guys...that's not always true either. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one local prosecutor who i...

Bridger

I think things are starting to get better around here. Most stores now seem to regularly have all the major centerfire calibers on hand, and I was walking through Walmart tonight and they actually had some 1000 rd .22lr bulk packs on hand for $50. Which actually wouldn't have been a bad price pre-Ne...

Bridger

Just realized this thread was brought back up....I have enjoyed reading all the replies for sure.

Bridger

The most I've ever wasted was about $10 lol. One year at the local festival when my little brother was younger he was on the way to losing $20 until I realized what was going on and stepped in.

No idea why he wants to publicize to the world how dumb he is. and the bad thing is that he has already reproduced.

Bridger

Thanks guys, yall seem to confirm what I am thinking. No I haven't done any vacuum tests, and my truck has 195,000 on it now. And goes up every day lol

Bridger

My truck has been running erratically and underpowered since I bought it back in August (when I was test driving I didn't have this problem)anytime I try to really get on it, such as holding it to the floor from a dead stop, trying to spin the tires over on dirt, accelerating to pass, etc. It's just...

Bridger

I'm not disparaging stand hunting in any way. I called it ambushing because it fits the definition. The hunter waits for and attacks the prey from concealment. It is a legimate hunting method that I use. Most modern doghunters are not concealed on stand and their prey is very aware that they are be...

Bridger

Bridger----The man up comment I made in a prior post(reflecting on it today)I might have been a little less(blunt/or I could have surely used better phrasing) You and you alone only know what you feel capable of handling-------and honestly it's not my place to say what another man can handle or can...

Bridger

I always hear guys talking about their 30-06, 7 mags, etc. and I can't help but wonder if they can really shoot it? I have a 30-06, but if you were gonna put me in front of a charging grizzly bear, I'll take my Winchester 30-30 any day of the week. The recoil from it doesn't bother me at all, but I ...

Bridger

My bare minimum would be

Winchester 94 in 30-30 mfg 1979
Browning BPS 20ga
Daisy Single shot bolt action .22lr

With those three guns I would feel quite confident doing almost anything. And, if I could throw in my Dan Wesson 15 I know I'd be in good shape.

Bridger

There was a pic posted here awhile back that had a pic of a Revolutionary War soldier and under it was a short caption about the type of guys who won the war- gun smugglers, bootleggers, etc? I wanted to hang on to that pic for future use but I can't find it anymore.

Bridger

Putting a scope on a lever action is heresy I tell you.

Bridger

I was in a toy store today and found a nice little Stoeger Uplander in 28 gauge. Used, for $359. It looked like it was only shot a few times. Unfortunately, the funds aren't there now for me to bring it home, but still wanted yalls opinion on these Stoeger doubles. They seem cheap and well made to m...

Bridger

No side loading gate would be enough to turn me off of a rifle. It works fine on my BL-22, but I think it would be a pain on most any centerfire lever.

Bridger

I had one heck of a reply worked up in my head.....thankfully this is a joke lol

Bridger

Maybe I am crazy, but I have a 30-30 Winny and a good Dan Wesson Model 15, among some other guns of course, and feel very well prepared for anything. I don't even worry about trying to get an AR, not that I have anything against them, but if the stuff were to hit the fan, I feel the most comfortable...

Bridger

I know one toy store around here that has plenty of ammo yall would be interested in, you know, things that don't appeal to most people stocking up.....348, 38-55, 44-40, 25-20, etc. But I ain't tellin where lol

Bridger

As a side note, the magnum primers I bought were Winchester.

Bridger

Okay, thanks guys. I'll wait and use them when I have my scale and can work up a load with them as was suggested. And, as a matter of fact Federal 210's are the primers I use. I may just have to order some more before they dry up now that I know where they are at.

Bridger

My experience proves that snares are eexxxxtremely deadly if you take the time to learn to use them.......

--------------------
Nice pile of fur by the way

Bridger

The 30-30 loads I roll use a 2.2cc scoop of Reloader 15 (which is in the neighborhood of 31 grains) and a 170 grain bullet with a large rifle primer. Right now I have plenty of regular large rifle primers, but as you know primers are getting tough to find and so when I found a couple hundred large r...

Bridger

Yall can debate over tang safety vs. crossbolt if you want, but I prefer mine with neither.

Bridger

And as far as the guns value, it wouldn't get sold anyway so that's wouldn't be a biggie to me.

Bridger

I am just not as interested in those other calibers as the 25-35. The only other one I might even think about would be going the other direction, the 32-40.

Bridger

I have been wondering how hard it would be to take a cheap 94 in 30-30 and rechamber it to 25-35? For some reason I eventually want to get my hands on a 25-35 and this seems like a fairly economical way to get one. Not a project for the immediate future, but certainly for the "one day" lis...

Bridger

Thanks for the answers guys....I won't try to force them if they wont chamber. And the thing is I have access to a press and everything else I could possibly need back home except the dies. Just don't have a good place to put a press up in my trailer here at school yet. Looks like I may just have to...

Bridger

Dang, that's not what I wanted to hear.....but thanks for telling me. Just gonna have to find some time to shoot I guess....or get a set of dies for my press.

Bridger

I have successfully loaded quite a few rounds now with my lee loader. The problem I now have is no time to shoot the ammo I have made up....and I only have about 40 pieces fired from my gun that of course work with no problem. However, I have a few more pieces that I have picked up at the local rang...

Bridger

I was looking around in Gander Mountain today and found a Winchester '73 ser. no. 610315B. It is a 32-20 with I believe either a 20 or a 24 inch barrel. Blued Finish. The rifle at first glance was in fair shape, but it was missing the dust cover and had obviously been taken apart, just from looking ...

Bridger

Thanks guys....I'm always learning.

Bridger

I saw another post just down from this one about a '50s Model 94 and the sights don't look quite like mine (roughly a 79 or 80 vintage I believe) which appear to be slightly more rounded on the top of the back sight. This got me wondering if the sights on a Winne 94 are any indication of manufacture...

Bridger

Yup, I am certain I am using the right end to crimp. But since all my loading experience has been with a press and straight wall handgun cartridges, I got a much more experienced loader (who has used the lee loader quite a bit) to help me trouble shoot it. He never could make it crimp either. It jus...

Bridger

I attempted to load some ammo up for my 30-30 with a lee loader I just got. However, it seems to be impossible to put any kind of a crimp on the bullet. The bullets are 170 grain Sierra flat points. This is the first time I have ever used a lee loader so to start with I thought it was just me, but I...

Bridger

The sights are fixed. I am gonna mull things over a little while and if it is still there when I get ready I'll get it. In the rack just across from it is a Universal M1 Carbine for roughly the same price.

Bridger

A local toy store has a 4" nickel Colt Lawman .357. I think MK3 but not sure. Anyway, it has definitely been carried but not in bad shape and it locks up tight. Asking $519. I don't know whether or not I want it, but it has three things going for it. First, it is a Colt - I don't have anything ...
