Yes 5,000 rounds. I bought the same ammo the last time they offered it. It shoots great in my Henry, also functions well in both my Buckmark and my 22/45.

JNG

If you are a member of CMP, they have Remington surplus 22 at 125.00 plus 20 bucks shipping. I bought some last time and it in my autos and rifles. Great buy.

Just read this book, it's one of the better books I've read on life of Ohio Indians and Mr Smiths captivity. Well worth the time and money. I believe I got it fo r14 or 15 dollars plus shipping. While your at it, also get the movie Allegheny Uprising. Starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne. It is bas...

Well, I just saw a episode of (wagon train). I saw that the front wheels were smaller then the front. My neighbor was cutting his yard today and the mower had the back wheels large the the front. I know I'm not the brightest bulb in the lamp, but if it works on a wagon, why do not cars have smaller ...

Well, I'm playing with my Sharps 45-70 carbine. I'm using 5744 for my powder. Still looking for the right combo. I have a cheap right shoulder. I recoken that the 405 is going ~1300' ps. Queston? In the good old days, with this load can it get a man out of harm way is Mr. Grizz comes and says howday...

Went on a cruise last year, wife wanted it. I was in the US Navy, made two cruises one 9 months the other 7 months. Last thing I want to do was to sit in an iron tub visting two bit islands. The wife loved it. I would rather watch paint dry on the walls. By the by, I don't gamble, I stay out of wate...

JNG

First off off, thanks for all responses. Alnitak, I could have had a V-8. Great idea. Pitchy, the black basket weave with the thumb release is just what I am looking for. If you would, who makes it?

Thank you,

Joe

Well after Buds Guns made a error with my Spencer (I ain't got it) I healed my wounds with a Colt series 70. I'm taking a class in Oct with Larry Vickers. I plan to shoot ~2000-3000 rounds out of it before Oct. My problem is a side Holster. I would like leather with a thumb latch that goes under the...

JNG

Well, my kids call it Joe luck. I was real please that Buds gunshop called me on the last day of Feb. that the Spence that I had on my wish list was in. Tuesday my FFL called and told me my package from Buds arrived. Was shocked that when the order was opened a very nice CZ shotgun was in the box. J...

JNG

Price was just under $1200.00 at Buds with the CC fee. I sold one of my 94's to help with the cost. Just ran my DVD on the Civil War, where they were talking about the Spencer. Now my Sharps carbine has a buddy. Also thanks for load info. Do you'll think I'll have any problem running RCBS 270 bullet...

JNG

I put this rifle on my wish list with Buds gunshop in Aug. Got the e-mail yesterday, they had 2 in stock.
I put a deposit on it and am going down to Lexington Ky Friday with the little lady to pick it up and a over nighter.
Does anybody have good loads for this jewel?

Thank you,
Joe

JNG

This is about my .357 winny and a .223 bolt. I have a hog and yote problem at our land. I just bought a ANT 4 power Paladin nightscope. I am looking for a low flsh powder for both. Any thoughts on which to use?
Thank you,
Joe

JNG

When I bought my Sharps carbine I had them add a ring to it. Afew years back there was a post on this forum? maybe? about a fella that made a sling for the saddle ring. I bought one and still use it with my Winny 94. It keeps the rifle out of the way, but is quick to use.

JNG

I just got done reading The Memoirs of Luther s. Kelly, edited by M M Quaife with foreword by Lt-General Nelson A Miles, copyright 1926 by Yale University Press. Very good book about life in the west. Outstanding pictures. Kelly talks about hunting and firearms he used. I got this book from my local...

I use 44 grains of Varget with my Garand. Accurate and very light kick. Might be a bit higher the the 30-30, or what you are looking for.
By the way Mid-south is having a sale on 308 blems at this time.

Vancelw, Check out this site www.apextactical.com, on facebook Randy Lee shows how to install his hard sear. Also search on M&P forms. Kinda like this forms only on the M&P's. Took me less the 5 minutes to install the sear, and I have 2 left hands. Or just send it to S and W. If I get anothe...

JNG

A year or two ago I bought a S&W M&P .45 full size. Plastic, but felt great in my hand. Then I installed a Apex hard sear. Made a world of difference, so much so that my son and friend got rid of a Glock and Taraus in favor of the M&P's. I decided to get the .45 compact for CCW and have ...

I did not picked 231 for my 642, kind of like a dog picking you. I made up a few along with other powders and loads, but with the 231 I struck gold. I've used 231 in the 45acp and 44spl., had it on had so what the hay. The fact is that little gun loves and shoots them better then any factory or hand...

Thanks for the responses. The first answer to why 110 in a .357 rifle is simply, SHE LIKES IT! After giving everthing away that I owned 30 years ago, I learned to just say (great,OK I'll load them). If your married, you may know what I mean. As for shooting the J frame for years, I have had a seriou...

JNG

I have been using Barnes 110 bullets in my j frame for ccw. Since a box of those bullets cost more then the monthly payment on my first car, I buy bulk 110's to practice with. Long story short, my wife was with me and asked to shoot a few out of my Winny 94 in .357. Surprise, surprise, they shot gre...

My wife bought me the Guide gun when they first came out. Ported. A few years later, I had heard that Marlin would switch your ported to not ported for ~100.00 to 200.00, I don't quite remember the price. Long story short, I kept the ported for one reason only. The dang thing did and still shoots li...

I am in the market for a 22 pistol. I have an High Standard double nine and a Ruger single-six, but i will be putting my can on it, which means that I have to use a pistol. Which 22 pistol of those two would you guys choose. The Ruger or the Browning? Pro's and cons? By the way, Jeff from Gunblast a...

El Chivo's comment I'm sure was not anti-semitic. Have you not ever seen the movie AIRPLANE?
Just an observation.

My wife and I just bought some land next to our previous property. It has a half acre pond, also butts up to the land that I lease with a few other retired firefighters. Question, I am going to build a ~12x12 cabin until we decided what we are going to do after the folks pass. I was looking to make ...

In the part of Ohio that I hunt there seems to be a slew of deer. Three of us used trail cameras for the first time, we sure have some nice Bucks (-1) that I saw hanging around. The most interesting photos we saw were the vistors to my gut pile. Red and grey foxes, coons, yotes, many deer and of cou...

Thanks for the ideas. As of this time with Christmas coming, along with a recent land purchase money is tight. That said, next year I'll talk my wife to go to Indiana to visit that Belterra casino while I drive up to Friendship and buy a few pounds of BP. I have Mike V's book on loading with it. So ...

JNG

I was given a good idea for taming my Sharps recoil, a custom leather butt cuff with some sort of padding in it. Does anybody here produce or know of a good leather works? I will want something nice that will enhance the looks of my carbine.

Thanks

JNG

I received my Sharps in Sept. After reading over the responses on my post on which caliber, I chose the 45-70. After I received it, I tried it out with a few bullets that was loaded for my Guide rifle. Not good! As I have had 2 surgeries on my right shoulder, the steel butt plate is not my friend. I...

Thanks for all the responses. I have found 2 wc for my Bulldog. They are from Westernbullet.com. I have ordered 100 each for 180 gr and 200gr. I will let you know how they shoot.

Does anybody sell 44 spl wadcutter bullets? Love to try them in my Bulldog.

Thanks

Shiloh Sharps just called me and with in a few weeks I will have my very own 1874 Military Carbine it has been an 8 month wait. The wait will soon be over. Now, what is driving my wife nuts is I know in my heart that the little guy needs a playmate. A Trapdoor in 45-70. As I am now retired, it will ...

Thank you all for your replys. For a number of reasons I choose the Heritage safe. Though after reading your post I did get a larger safe. (plus more cash) The safe has a 90 minute @2400F fire protection rating. ~1,000 lbs in weight, with it bolted to the slab flooring of our house. Also it is MADE ...

Thank you for all the replys. You know, this is more nerver racking then picking a new lever. I'm reading all of you, again thanks.

I will come back and state why I choose that safe. (might help the next fella)

I am going to buy a new home for my leverguns and their friends. I know squat about safes. I have done some research on different brands and am leaning toward HERITAGE SAFES TX3060. Do you folks have pros or cons. I am looking at $1000.00 to $1500.00 including if I need to pay for delivery. By the w...

Three nights ago my wife let our dog out, to our dismay a skunk was on the pourch a few feet from the door. Well, he let go. Missed the dog by that much. Side shot the wife (who was throwing up when I smelled and heard the racked. But he did get quite a bit in the house. Our kitchen has carpet(ask w...

JNG

A bit ago, I read from Paco about heating up the tip of a lead bullet while in water to make the tip softer. Do I remember correctly? Have any of you tried it? Seems it would be great with a 357 158 grain semi-wadcutter against critters.

When my father passed away I received his copy of Up Front. Great book. Well today I went to the Post Office and they had a Bill Mauldin stamp. I bought a few and put them in my book. Just thought some folks would like to know.

My range is getting a pin shoot games up soon. Using my .45 M&P I load 230 LRN over 6 of unique powder. I saw on a web sight from a bullet caster that they have 250 gr for 45ACP. I am going to make a order for a sample of the 250's. Problem is that I can't find any load written down for the 250'...

24" carbine I can see where your at, but from 30' to 34", I guess you could call it a carbine. BTW every hear of the K98, 23". Put a smile face ,but I sure don't know how to do it. Have a good one.

God bless both of you.

Please keep us posted.

JNG: I 'dunno' about shooting smokeless powder in a .50-70. I maybe overly cautious, and I will not do it after I take possession of my .50-70. Wouldn't even want to do it in a bad dream. Seen too many reproduction black powder-era rifles (and a few originals) with ringed chambers as a result of sho...

Thanks a ton for all the responses. I plan to use the Sharps as a working rifle. I know that I could get others for this price..but.. I know the power of the 45-70. My 1895 guide is great and knocks deer flat in to China. If I had any sense I would go with the 45-70. but heck, I told you'all that I ...

Before the years end I will be retired. 34 years as a Police Officer and Firefighter is enough. Now I hope to get pro's and cons about a retirement gift to myself. I want a Sharps rifle. I know of two companies in Mont. that I am considering. At this time, I am leaning toward Shiloh Sharps and their...

I really lucked out and was able to get one of CMP's Services Specials. To say that the rifle looks great does not give it justice. The rifle cames with a CMP stock, I finished it with 10 coats of Formby's Tung Oil and OOOO steel wool. The rifle shoots like a house fire. I was using Greek ammo then....

Sorry for late post on this subject. I've gone through many,many handguns for CCW. I have stopped at the Bulldog. Light weight, powerful, cheap and easy to handload. With some work, hits where I want it to hit. (I am not the greatest handgun shooter, not the guns fault) Best trigger, No. Best finish...

Few years ago I never heard of forums,did you? I enjoy reading some post, ones I don't, I don't read. Seems to me that this is a classic "stick and stone's". If a forum does not like you...sooo.. 2 cents worth.
Any word on Paco's situation? Not thats is any of my business.
