Why is everyone always picking on Blaine?

With all my Irish and German ancestry, you would think I should like beer. I hate the taste. We all have our likes and dislikes.

A small amount of alcoholic beverages can be healthy for most if consumed in moderation. Most foods and beverages are best when in moderation.

The one about the moonshine, two Ford F150 or 3 Chevy 1500 pickup, or 2 Dodge 1500 pickup radiators. Can't use Porsche radiators at all. Wrong material. Can't use VW beetle radiators.

Good idea.

Blaine, you might think about moving to Texas.

It sure is interesting to see the development of some of the mechanical marvels of the past.

That was sure a neighborly thing to do. We do have a bunch of good people on here.

While I doubt that Bill Ruger expected such a plethora of aftermarket parts for the 10/22, it is sure nice that they are out there. With a minimal knowledge of tools and a budget which isn't anything to brag about, most folks can add to and accurize the 10/22 to where it will be a target rifle secon...

Just a simple question, or it seems to be one to me. Would you consider a caplock with a side hammer to be primitive enough for primitive firearm season, or would it need to be a flintlock? I am not trying to start a fight. I just would like to hear from the members on here about this issue because ...

Sighthunter has just left to go eat with friends at a Japanese restaurant. It is the kind where you sit around the large griddle and the food is cooked in front of you.

Happy Birthday to all 3 of you. Hope each one of you has a fun day.

Last time I looked, there were still some States which prohibited inline muzzleloaders during the muzzleloader/primitive firearms season. If that is still the case, it would seem that the choices are becoming fewer for new hunters.

piller

Given the choice between steel and aluminum scope rings, it would be steel every time for me. Aluminum are a stopgap measure only to be used in an emergency until you can get the steel ones, at least in my opinion.

Nice looking handguns.

Don't know about in the 444, but the LeverEvolution ammo never worked well in my .30-30 when used on anything other than targets. It didn't hold together well enough in my experience. Should that be true in the 444, then it might disappoint you too.

piller

Sorry, no help here. Those were an interesting gun. When I was a kid, an Uncle still had one which he had used a lot. After he died, one of the family inherited it and I have no idea where it is. It was the first pump action shotgun I ever saw.

piller

The steel Weaver rings are as good as you can get for any price in my opinion. I bought Leupold bases and rings once. The scope had to be zeroed each time the gun was used with them. They let the zero wander more than Jack Reacher or Casca. Any rings which are Weaver style and made in the U.S. will ...

Good for Weatherby. Money lost is one of the few things to which Governments, State or Federal, pay attention.

Nath, this should help.

That looks nice. Hope it shoots as good as it looks.

Those are some good looking ringnecks. We used to hunt them all the time back in Kansas when I was a kid. We cut them up and baked them in Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup. Best wild game I have ever eaten. Could be due to their eating so much Milo around that time.

Does anyone remember the Medusa revolver? It was made on a Smith & Wesson frame with a cylinder drilled so that the spring star shaped ejector in the center could hold .357, 9x19, 9x23, .380, 38 special, 38 colt (if you could find it), and a couple other less common cartridges. My oldest brother...

I have most of his books, and my parents have all of them which we know that he wrote. His style is an older more romance style, but he was a good writer. Elmer Keith guided him at least once on a journey, and I have heard that Zane Grey was impressed with Elmer Keith's abilities. I also like Louis ...

Good thing that you know how to suture like that. Coyotes have not been eradicated, and it isn't for lack of trying. I have no qualms about killing them whenever possible. Years ago, an Uncle had a small herd of cattle which were in the South pasture behind the house. A pack of dogs started attackin...

I am not trying to say that it osn't a good idea to be accurate, or to have an accurate rifle. I sanded out the barrel channel on my .270 caliber Remington 700 and fiberglass bedded it using Bondo because it was shooting 6 inch groups after hunting when I was caught in an unpredicted rainstorm. The ...

I'm guessing the "what's better, or best" debate will go on forever, as it sells gun magazines and guns. But in reality most centerfire handgun cartridges from the 9mm on up will do just fine for anybody needing to defend themselves. Sure their are situations where you're in deadly game h...

Most of the hunting I have done has been at 100 yards or less. My longest shot was around 200 yards. A 2 inch group at 100 yards would still be in the kill zone at 200 yards on elk size animals. I haven't seen many people who can shoot better than what their rifle is capable of doing. There is no re...

Here is a video of someone shooting ballistic gelatin with a .357 magnum and a 10mm with almost equal bullet weights in factory ammo where both are the same brand and bullet type. Not totally scientific, but it gives some information that could be useful.

Howdy from the Dallas area.

It looks nice. Used, but not abused is a great way for a firearm to go through life.

I think I will look for it and take PillHer with me to see it. She would like it, too.

Mine is an Android, and it just did not learn. I shut the autoincorrect off.

The Guide Gun in .45-70 does well on anything you might want to hunt. Just as with any other gun, the person doing the shooting has to do their part. I have never had a single time when mine failed. I have caused it to miss, but it was for certain my fault. Every time when I did my part, it performe...

Wednesday it got down to around 10 degrees in Dallas. That was colder than in Fairbanks, AK. In the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex, we call this "Stock Show" weather since it coincides with the Ft. Worth Stock Show. This cold or bad weather usually lasts until about the Super Bowl. After that,...

Why use the darn thing then, just take the time to spell correctly in the first place and you have no worries. I had turned it off so that I could just spell things correctly by myself. Auto incorrect is a pre-installed program on "smart :roll: " phones, and it is automatically updated. I...

It sure seems as if the majority of programmers are anti American. CRS is a welcome relief from the sheep herd.

piller

I had turned the auto incorrect off for my phone. It was somehow turned on again after an update. I had to go turn it off again. I absolutely hate the way auto incorrect changes two out of every three words I type from what I want to something which is meaningless within the context of my sentence. ...

In Kansas, it can be used for Pheasant, quail, and rabbit without being plugged. Dove and duck require a plug. Squirrels require that your state have those tall shrubs that are called "trees".

What are those chunks of red stuff floating around in your stew? Now, that is a true Texan's question. Here in Texas, I have learned what chili really was really meant to be. My Mother used to use beans and tomatoes in her chili. She grew up in SouthWestern Kansas and the Western slope in Colorado....

That is a good use for the PETA crowd.

Cool.

If the cartridges were loaded properly, I would go for the levergun in .44-40 over a handgun in 10mm also. Just for the simple reason that I am better with a long fun than a pistol when under stress. Having a Grizzly charging with the intent of causing grievous bodily harm would put me under stress....

The energy put into the system is directly responsible for the movement of electrons in an endothermic system. The Earth does not produce sufficient heat to prevent the slowing of electrons to cause water to change state to a solid. That great big exothermic reaction at the center of our local syste...

It takes a lot of brass to post this, but at least there is no need to mute it. Blaine is often the mouthpiece for humor around here.

I don't have a Kindle, but it is slowly becoming an idea which may become a want. Maybe. I still like books.

It does take a light touch to shave with a straight edge. I tried it once a long time ago. I think I was holding the blade at the wrong angle and I cut myself a few times.

You can tell when someone was raised right. Even those who try to turn away from it can never totally avoid showing it. The ones who turn away always regret it, and have to show the world that they are rebelling against a good upbringing. The ones who accept a good upbringing for what it is will be ...

I remember picking up the paper hill 12 gauge empties just after Dad or Uncle Homer had fired them when I was a little kid. The scent from a just fired paper hill shotgun shell was something that meant snow and pheasant season was just around the corner. Those new fangled plastic shells just don't s...
