Thank you gentlemen

I believe I'll get better as I aquaint myself with it. I was simply amazed that the first shot was alongside a 2" bullseye, and amazed again when they all fell right in there. The Kel Tek cant do that in my hands and for whatever reason isnt fun to shoot, this one is.

Bought a cute little Ruger LC9 last week. I'v been carrying a Kel Tek P11 for a couple years and while its not a superb specimin of firearms craftsmanship its served me well. Last Friday I was cleaning it & the ejector broke in half. :evil: So I finished cleaning it & put it away and got out...

Well OS, a mans gotta do what he's gotta do, those old Fords can be cantankerous & I'm sure you were justified.... But my wall was just setting there minding its own business.

Did a very similar thing a few years back. Bought my first DAO semi auto and was spending alot of time dry fire practicing. I carry with a loaded chamber and when I put the gun away I drop the mag & then clear the chamber. Well I either neglected to clear it or the extractor didnt grab the case,...

Just to add, nobody seems to mind a thin skinned person when they`er getting prayer from them. That`s not directed at anyone, just saying there is nothing wrong with being sensitive either. I know a lot of tough son -of-a -guns that are like teddy bears until pushed to far. The golden rule boys the...

If you arent pushing them fast soft bullets are fine. Thats what they used back in the day & thats why they got acceptable acuracy from varying bore sizes. Leading can be caused by pushing too hard, but its also common with an undersized HARD cast bullet because they dont obturate & fill the...

Leverdude

I like their 22s & while the rest dont appeal to me they seem a good company to deal with. My only real issue with them is marketing ethics.

Leverdude

The strangest things can turn political. The bottom line is you simply cant build a 94, or any of Brownings lever action designs here for $400+- & you cant make really nice ones anyplace for that price. So we can choose from 4 or 5 hundred dollar Rossi's or 12 to 14 hundred dollar Jap guns. I wo...

I think he talked way too much.

I could live with a tang safety if the hammer had half cock. I'm not sure I buy the idea that liability is worse if you change back. It would be easy to argue that Henry, Cimmeron, Uberti etc were negligent since most other lever gun makers use an extra safety. I think its an answer to a non existen...

Leverdude

I kinda like that case colored 92 they catalog. Not sure but it looks to have a barrel band up front with an oct barrel, other than that its a rifle config. A carbifle?

Leverdude

Those Federal AE's get 1780 +- from my 20" Rossi & kill deer too!

Leverdude

$470 is over $400 anyway aint it?

A link would be great, I dont look much but last I did 12 to 14 hundred was what I recall.

Leverdude

I guess JB would work, but I'd only use it if there was no chance of it being seen. I'd buy acra glass gel. It comes with brown & black dies, the brown seems easy to mix so you cant see it unless your looking for it. If you havent finished the wood yet its much easier. Coat all the metal with a ...

Expect they didn't pay the bill. And it seems we have some sensitive souls here... Clueless too, its been under new ownership for a couple months now. Some folks just have trouble moving on.

Thats what mine said. I just got back into town & havent a clue.

Leverdude

For about $100 you can get a Lee starter kit with about everything but dies and components. That leaves you about $400 for things you decide you need after that. I bought a Lee classic cast press pretty soon after I started and another scale to weigh bullets with. Last year I bought an RCBS charge m...

Leverdude

Thanks Steve. I imagine you see alot of guns come thru, is this a common thing? I believe all mine save my 308MX are metal now, but I swap them just because I like metal better than plastic.

Leverdude

Only thing you get with a new one you dont with a used one is a warranty. Its going to be voided when you cut the chamber anyway so I'd just ho buy a nice used one. Or buy a 308MX & get a 30/30 on steroids with a factory warranty. I got one & its everything I needed it to be, but mines a rea...

Leverdude

If the manufacturers think you need to have high visibility on the followers, they could just anodize some color to a metal follower and fix the problem, but that is probably too expensive and would make some million dollar a year executive miss out on a couple of hundred dollars on his million dol...

Leverdude

Hey everyone, I emailed Steve just to be sure prior to ordering for my Rio Grande, and he said the 44/45 was the correct one. Since this thread is #2 on google when searcing for rossi rio grande + steve gunz I thought it'd be best to clear that up for future reference. Thanks again to Steve for res...

I'm not sure if they really have coffee flavored coffee there but I'll probably swing by.

If it works it works right? Kinda hard to argue with that.

Leverdude

Seems a simple thing to me. If you can own it you can carry it, end of story. Dang, I thought in Texas you could pretty much do anything with a gun and you were golden. I wholly agree and it should be nation wide. People don't just stay in their home states, they travel. They should be able to defe...

Dang, I thought in Texas you could pretty much do anything with a gun and you were golden. Nope. They only got concealed carry fairly recently. If I recall right theres a female representative in Texas who was in & lost family members in a mass shooting in a resturant. She had a gun but it was ...

Anyone know anything about them.

A handgun is my constant companion, and a great comfort wherever I go..

Real important, probably more important from a well being standpoint. I doubt I'll ever use a rifle for self defense, but while I hope it never happens I always have a hangun either on me or close by. Almost always anyway, unfortunately theres places virtually nobody except LE can carry and with NYS...

I see that as a corruption of the genre. If some body wants a tacktical rifle let them buy an M$ er I mean M4 Well, when I go out to see what went "bump" in the night, which living on a small farm happens a couple times a week, I most certainly do NOT want an M4, AR-15, Garand, or M1A, wi...

I see guys most every weekend at the local public range I help out at shooting barret 50 cals at 60 yards. True that theres not many decent public ranges around, but I cant see buying one of those unless I had a place to shoot it. Most of the private clubs dont allow them either. I also belong to th...

For those of us out here in the wide open spaces and the rugged, tall-uncut, it makes perfect sense.. If you don't already 'get' it, no amount of explanation will get the point across.. Oh, i understand the attraction to combo ensembles --- but really, Buck -- are the conditions in the "rugged...

Funny how he says its not a reworked Marlin but a original custom design. I guess its custom but it sure aint original. Looks like he beefed up the locking area but the rest is 100% Marlin. But I'm sure happy people can get what they want now, sure wouldnt be worth $2500 to me but it might to somebo...

Are those YOUR specs or is someone acyually doing this? Whats the pressure on a .480? You can put as fat a barrel as you want on a 94, BUT, youll need to cut away the bottom of it for the mag tube & the barrel will be fatter than the reciever and the threaded shank, which houses most of the cham...

Leverdude

The cartridge produces too much pressure for any of The Marlin actions. Only the 92 and 92/86 Winchester hybrids can handle the battering. Well they shouldn't be stop ,by a little thing like pressure. Just copy the 92 design, Duh. :o Note: If you wonder why this is my second post on this subject ,i...

I'v found barrels on the online auctions & once upon a time e-bay. You should be aware though that they dont necessarily headspace right. They set headspace at the factory with the locking lug, its ground to achieve headspace so its a toss up if a barrel swap will need a fatter or thinner lockin...

Gamekeeper Yes, this is the Winchester Centenial 66. I guess I wasn't aware that is was a 94 action. Will have to look closer. It was inherited, and it is a 30-30. I have kept it for years as a safe queen, but while in my dads keeping, it arrogantly got some rust under the plating, in little spots....
