If you aren't blind or optically challenged aperture sights are best.
Scopes are a crutch.

I have one rifle with a scope on it, no iron sights. As soon as I get the irons on it the scope may go bye bye permanently.

cas,

Glad I could give you a hearty laugh. We all need to laugh more.

However, I didn't say I believed him ...... did I?

Scott64A, Sixgunner.com is doing the same thing we are. They've got a back up forum running. http://single-actions.phpbb3now.com/index.php I agree with Salvo, the only thing I'll add is to watch your trigger finger. When I get careless I tend to use my trigger finger to help hold up the pistol. Then...

Every body has the right to change their views on any given subject.
If his change of heart is genuine, then good on him.

Only time and his actions will tell.

Stopper,

I mean all Class 3 weapons are illegal for us subjects to own in IL.

Only LEOs, military, and manufacturers may have them.

1932 Chrysler Armored Scout car. THAT is what I need to drive in traffic.

Of course the Tommy gun is illegal in the Peoples Socialist Republic of IL.

MacEntyre, YES, you need a new gunsmith. Go and get your rifle, tell him he's had all the time he's gonna get. ALL you need is for a gunsmith to weld up, or peen the cartridge stop on the top front of the link then reshape it. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o121/RellimJ/win94action2.jpg Look at ...

Randy,

Shooting a gun that hurts like hell every time you pull the trigger is no fun.
I can shoot most any rifle with a shotgun type but plate, but the crescent but stocks do smart some.

What is that vine with the blue flower on it?

Joe

I was sitting here mulling over the fact I think I have too many guns :roll: . Then I tried to remember the last time I had only one center fire rifle. It's been so long I'd have to check my records to find out. So just for fun, does anybody here have only one........... I've got several times more ...

J Miller

Jason,

What's "need" got to do with guns and shooting?

I want it, I got the money, I bought it. That's it, that's all.

AARP, can KMA Now to the regular thread, already in progress. After posting what I did on page one a friend of mine in Arizona sent me a link to one of his forums. It's a ham radio forum. http://www.eham.net/articles/17472?ehamsid=18530a86cb39633343be5aaf149762cd They were discussing PayPal. After r...

Jason, The old feedthroat / ejector was a two piece affair rivited together. It was soft and prone to wear on the inside where the cartridges fed from the magazine to the chamber. It also had the bad habit of pounding the ejector stub into pulp. Marlin came up with a replacement part that consisted ...

J Miller

jason, If this is a older Model 60 or one of the variants it can be returned to functioning condition for a bit of work and funds. Marlin has improved the feed and ejection system on those and they work very well now. This model was and probably is prone to problems when the actions get really dirty...

J Miller

C.Cash,

You are right. I've never shot at one of these diagnostic targets. I printed one and carry it with me to the range.
But if I get one in the bullseye, it sure is an accident.

I just wish my 25-5 was still under warranty. They want as much to overhaul it as I paid for it new.
I don't think it's worth it.

Joe

J Miller

Scott, Back in the Black powder days there was cartridges such as the 38 Short Colt, 38 Long Colt. If I remember correctly, the 38 Short Colt actually used a 38 caliber heal based bullet, (think .22RF style). Then with the 38 Long Colt it became an inside lubed bullet, like the current 38 Special. B...

J Miller

Scott, I use Pachmayrs on my two S&W double actions. Specifically the Gripper type with the finger groves. I've shot other peoples DA's with Hogues and the finger grove spacing isn't right for my hands. They always seem to me to be designed for guys like Bill Jordan with huge hands. I would love...

Doesn,t that there ruling refere to the caliber of the firearm and not the ammo!!!! Good question. Likely up for debate in court. Not by me, that's for sure. I'd bet Nath is absolutely right. Not gonna even consider taking a chance on that one. Joe ... who really prefers to stay out of trouble (esp...

I've taken gun safety courses ... when I was young and really smart. But I've never taken a hunter safety course. My feelings are why do I need to? Now wait a minute before you pounce on me. There is no difference between gun safety and hunter safety. Both require you to make sure of the target and ...

J Miller

Nope.

There are things to buy and things to sell that have nothing to do with guns.
Things that are difficult or impossible to find else where.

I'll keep my accounts for now.

For cleaning .22 Lever actions here is what I recently did. My wife bought me one of them universal cleaning kits. Has rods for 17 cal, .22 and up cal, and shot guns. I took the 17 cal rod, drilled the head out of a fired 17HMR case, and used that for a muzzle guide/protector. Works great. Now I don...

J Miller

Harry,

I can't answer your questions. In all the shooting I've done with the 30-30 I've stuck with the 150 and 170gr bullets.

My question to add to yours, is if you can safely push a 180gr or heavier bullet fast enough from the 30-30 to get it to expand properly?

Joe

J Miller

cubrock, Perhaps I should keep my mouth shut, but these guns intrigue me. I'm not trying to, nor intending to demean them or the seller so don't assume that. What intrigues me is all three of these guns has matching numbers except the cylinders. The nickeled and engraved 7.5" gun had the cylind...

Kooz,

I also upgraded to a Williams FP 94/36 sight. "IF" I remember correctly the front sight I ended up with was around .400" tall. I don't have the rifle any more, and I didn't write that info down.

Joe

J Miller

Thanks Vall.

Make a note to self: All original #3 Ballards are either .22Short, or .22 LR.

There that should do it.

Like Griff said, I'm waiting for a range report.

Joe

I went downstairs and finished priming some '06 cases and while I was there I played with the MR-7 and it's winged safety. 86er is right. When pushed so it snaps forward to fire that safety makes quite a snap. And when shouldered as to shoot I couldn't snap it off without moving my hand from the sto...

Andrew,

I thought the Power Wagon was a pick up. Your probably right. I'm just not up on Dodges.

Joe

J Miller

kooz,

A shallow dovetail can be cut in the barrel. That's what I had done with my Rossi.

It worked great. The barrel band on mine kept twisting and so did the front sight. So I got rid it and went to a solid mounted sight.

Joe

J Miller

Vall,

If you keep posting pics of those Ballards you're gonna made me want one.

Nice, nice, nice is all I can say.
But what caliber is this one, you didn't say.

You know, things happen. It just like you say, people are funny about that.

Once we got that done, I simply took it out of the wet ...

Cimarron Red,

Thanks for the info. I learned something today. And your method of manipulating the safety is how I've found myself working it. So I'll just keep on keepin on.

1886, With a bit of refinement that should do nicely. I used to use axle shafts for targets. Set them on the ground, flange down with the lug nut studs stuck in the ground and then try to knock them over. Anything short of a direct hit would just glance off. And anything under a 38 Special wouldn't ...

Paul, I'm a Ruger fan too, but no matter if it's an Old Model or a New Model, the Ruger is not a Colt. Neither is a an Uberti, or a USFA or any of the other copies. If you want a Colt, no other will do. Even if the prices are high. If you just want a good single action to shoot, then most of them wi...

Junior, I do envy you. There is no place in IL that I know of that I could go for a walk in the woods out of hunting season and carry a gun. Think deep woods on a full moon night.

I'm not familiar with the Pre-64 Winchester safeties.
