On the farm we have natural gas as I got lucky enough to buy a place with free gas so heat, water heater and barn is heated with gas. House in Charleston has natural gas with heat pump put in last year while I was in the sand box, ovens are electric, water, and stove is gas.

Paladin

Sounds like an almost perfect day, (No Shooting) I am sort of jealous.
Good luck on the winter.

Paladin

I have owls come into the call a few times while hunting at night in the hills of WV had one perch 10 feet above me in a tree that got my attention as I saw it come in through the starlight goggles. Never had one closer than that.

Paladin

OK, Ted, now did you check your case lengths last time you loaded? If you have some but not all cases that are too long, it can cause some pretty drastic pressure differences, thus poor accuracy. I know the CR-10 is supposed to be good stuff. However, if it were me, I would get some Sweets 7.62 and...

Paladin

I agree with Hobie. With the older all-leather combat boots, BDUs tucked into them and double-knotted, I've waded streams up to waist deep and no water got in, many times. I've been out in pouring (monsoon level) rainstorms with nothing but a Goretex jacket on, and if there was time, the pants. Fee...

Paladin

Welcome, from the far end of the lower continent. Your family seems pretty good so far, sorry about the 20th century it does seem to have gotten more violent.

Paladin

WOW!!!!!

That is some kind of eloquent!!!

Welcome

Paladin

I agree with you and started my daughter with a Bearcat with a custom holster (she is a lefty) with her favorite animal embossed on it.
She now has an S&W Model 10 four inch .38 Spl.

Paladin

I've been thinking of having my 94P redone. It had some wear and some small rust spots when I bought it for $250.00. It's become my favorite trail, camp, travel gun but I've been thinking I want to send it off to Wild West Guns for a take down conversion and re-finish. I keep going back and forth b...

Paladin

Used it the first time on an 870 Rem I bought from an estate that was neglected to the point only about 60 % of the finish was left. Bead blasted the 870 and refinished and it has held up well for the last 5 years. When I scratch it in use you just spray a slightly different color of the 5 I bought...

Paladin

Great Collection, now I see why you didn’t have time to post the photo, too busy shooting.

Paladin

The refinish job is done and putting the 1894P back together was as much fun and getting it apart (thanks for the help from this forum). The reason to finish the rifle in the first place is my touch is as corrosive as my attitude and when I sweat and touch a blued firearm it rusts. The finish is “A...

May you retirement last longer than my last two. Good Luck.

Paladin

I left it over night in KROIL and with the assistance of a bigger hammer and plastic drift punch it succumbed to the force applied.

THANK-YOU for the assistance.

Paladin

I have the screw out and all else loose. The plug will not come out when tapped with a plastic mallet and would not pull away from the barrel (with light force).

Paladin

Spray some kroil into the chamber and leave it set over night. Then try the bore brush. If that does not work a broke case extractor would be best. There are a few other ways but PM me for some that I have used while away from my tools.

Paladin

I am having a hard time getting the mag tube off my 1894P (refinish job in progress). I haven’t use much force and have it all disassembled except the mag tube and mag tube plug. Any ideas before I do damage?

Paladin

"In the home, in the city, either a 44 Mag as you already have, or a .45 Colt. In both I'd load Winchester SilverTip HP or some of the other similar personal defense loads. In my experience the 30-30 is going to be problematic with excess penetration." The first shooting I ever investigat...

Paladin

Great gun, wouldn’t give mine up with out a fight.
Working on a new finish for mine will let you know when I am done.

Paladin

Got this at the P.X. at Ft Bragg a few months ago. Holds 2 lithium 123s and is brighter than my surefire 6P (15 years old) and has a LED for the main bulb and two other color led’s around the main for low light.

Paladin

the .457 magnum is to the 45-70 what the .44 mag is to the .44 special. In the Wild West Gun, a takedown Marlin with an elongated chamber, it can do exactly what the 45-70 can do with just a bit more energy. It anchored my nilgai in hondo like lights out. In the Co-pilot package, its a perfect anyw...

Paladin

Good deal, been looking after I got back to US sand and that is about 200 less than what I have found.

Paladin

The Cimarron 45LC I have shoots great with no problems in over 1000 rds.

Paladin

Started as a 12B, to 11A gave up after 30 years Active and Guard.

Paladin

Impressive

Paladin

Great look firearms, 22mag is great.

I have carried Colt Troopers and S&W 19s, 66s, 686s, 629s, 329 in 3in, 4 in, and 5.5 in. All issue except the 44s. I shot on the department pistol team for a few years and nothing shot as well as the 686 that we carried. With the right ammo our guys did well with them in gunfights. So I will ha...

Paladin

As long as it took me to get my co-pilot I don’t think I could live long enough to afford a $6000 double. Even if I did I would be afraid to use it for fear of scratching it.

Paladin

I was at Bass Pro today for the last time. Not that happy about the prices to start with and tired of the question about a having a card and getting charged more. Thank-you for the Rant as it made the decision easy.

Paladin

Thanks for the info. I have the advantage of being a LEO but to hear the rules for CCW where I am currently working makes it easier to not have problems. And I thought there was no place they could send me that was worse than Kabul.

Paladin

After shooting an 1897 Winchester that was still in the arms room at Ft Hood TX in the 70s and now using one for Cowboy action shooting (without the heat shield) I could see a bayonet on a shotgun as a psyops weapon.

I'd use a sporterized M94 Swede :D jk You need to bring the 86 and shoot it with your buddy AFTER you go hunting the bolt gun. He just needs to understand that the hunting will most likely not allow you a closer shot and that you've waited for a LONG LONG time (be really pathetica at this poin ;) )...

Paladin

What!!! You don’t have memories of deer hunting in at least 6 inches of snow when you can see them coming for at least 200 yards in the woods and even a city boy could track one.

Paladin

And look what it did to me.

Paladin

I have killed 3 deer with a Marlin trapper in .44 with the Blazer Gold Dot .44 SPL most accurate of all loads tested. My normal carry load in a 44 revolver as we are not authorized to use reloads when it might be used for work.

My 1st flight ever was a 195 dad and my uncles had rebuilt. Dad and I flew to the Oshkosh Air Show in 73 in a just rebuilt Stinson Voyager D. I love the old aircraft.

Paladin

My guess, Griff, we get some guesses right? :D First, I don't think it was black powder. Not the way it's burning off as the second hull is ejected. BP is highly explosive. It looked like whitepowder burning. My guess it's a BP substitute and it somehow was exposed to moisture and didn't properly b...

Paladin

Great looking grips. Where did they come from?

Paladin

Great deal, I got one last September and set it up for the youth hunt here in WV. When I get a chance I will post photos of both the marlin and the 14 year old I took hunting using it. I try to take a different kid every year to my farm where I know it is safe and full of deer.

This is a book for someone who has not had any training on M-16s or for someone who has very little and needs to carry a refresher. Erik the owner keeps them in stock and just got a fresh batch in. We have issued then in the sandbox to some.

Paladin

That s what it is all about, Thanks for sharing.

Paladin

Very impressive, both the rifle and the Dog.

Paladin

Great gun, the marlin I have at 100 yards shot the CCI Blazer in 44SPL (200 gr Gold Dot) the best. My daughter thought it was too heavy but my nephew loved it.

Paladin

Merry Christmas to ALL. May your ammo never run out and you bullets never miss.

With the same problem everywhere, I now have farm bordered on two sides buy public property, I let them run them to me on opening day.

Congratulations, for the lost of a great rifle for the best reason ever…
