I killed an engine block in a 1976 Chevy with one, once upon a time.

[Well, I'll find out in a few hours just how well it shoots & functions]

Are you back yet ? How did the folks, down at the Seven-Eleven, like it?

Pete44ru

Welcome to the fire, Pardner !

[Where should I start ?]

By getting your "significant other"something really nice - 'cause you're about to get in seriously deep.

R U Done Yet

$570 is awfully high, IMHO, for a Puma - I don't care if the company prexy hand delivered the thing to my door.

The post-64 pricing for the M-94's seem decent, though - unless they've been stored under someone's porch since new.

Pete44ru

UNFAIR ! ! It won't let me pick more than one !

Pete44ru

If you progress to the point where you're considering it as a carry piece, you might want to pop off the slide and remove the magazine safety plunger - so it can be fired while you're in the middle of changing magazines. I liked the one I had. The late Theodore Paris based his ASP conversions on the...

CNN "investigated", and found/showed video of him doing the exact same thing at some rally, before this time. What a rat.

After you center the front sight, but B 4 U start adjusting the rear - try & see if highlighting the rear sight notch helps your sight alignment - then adjust the rear for windage. The rear sighting notch can be "highlighted" in a couple of different (cheap) ways. Both require an extre...

Not bad - It looks like all it needs is a forend hanger & the mag tube plug & screw - and a little love !

It figures - A quality guy does quality work !

{click on the links, below} Williams makes fiber-optic front beads in various heights, and also a long-leaf type fiber-optic rear sight that is a direct swap for whatever's in the rear dovetail of your barrel now. http://www.williamsgunsight.com/gunsights/rifle.htm They also make them in sets, to fi...

#1 - Welcome to the fire, tkcomer! #2 - Take off the sight hood and toss it ! :) #3 - What rear sight adjustments have you made, if any ? :?: I use fiber-optic iron sights on most of my rifles - since back when they were "cutting edge" - and never had a problem with sighting-in. They don't...

Pete44ru

Yeah. And, the check is in the mail & my wife doesn't understand me - B.S. !

He has so much respect for the NRA, that he showed it by taking a cell phone call from his wife in the middle of his "speech" ?

GIVE ME A BREAK !

An XS peep can also be mounted on the M1895 bolt.

Pete44ru

A "luxury camp", fer sure ! And a pretty good sized gold pan, to boot.

I wonder if they took that 'bou with the shotgun, or somethin' else.

Pete44ru

Pshaw, Randy - Now you kaint use it fer a stream-crossin' staff !

[Why would anyone pay that kind of money for such a rump-ugly gun?!? ] The number of new or used, genuine .358 Winchester M-88's, I have personally seen F/S since 1970 = zero - and this despite attending about 10 different gun shows per year, including all 6 New England states, New York, and Florida.

Pete44ru

[I would love to have either.]

There's your answer.

Pete44ru

JMO - but, unless it's the pic/my eyes, the top rear contours look different between to two, and also the upper crosspin holes look to be differently placed.

Pete44ru

I have had only one wife, all these years - does that count ?

Pete44ru

Kewel, Ji ! Today, I saw a poltial cartoon of her riding Bill, horsey-style, with saddle/reins, etc & Bill saying something to the effect of 'Hi, we're the Clintons and we're coming back' :cry: [this ain't funny anymore] No, it really isn't. If you didn't know just how much deep water we're in, ...

Pete44ru

Try to stay away from any with a crack in the buttstock (a common occurance), since the M99 butt is very expensive to replace, due to the inletting - as compared to most other lever guns w/two-piece stocks. Also, don't buy a "gray rat" (self-explainitory, once you see one), no matter how c...

Pete44ru

Not since 1967.

Pete44ru

[how do you get rid of an unsellable gun?]

Exchange it for a gift certificate or cash, whatever, at the next anti-gun, do-gooder's gun buyback.

One of my closest friends makes furniture and jewelry boxes as a hobby, and some of his nicest-looking pieces have been of Cherrywood.

[Who is Pope?] Harry M. Pope was one of the most famous, and acknowledged best barrelmaker of the early cartridge rifle era (although he also was involved in a lot of BP too) in & around the turn of the 20th Century (1900). He had a proprietary-type rifling that he developed, as noted above, tha...

I guess I'm going back to two tin cans on a string.

I gave my cell phone to a local women's shelter when I retired - I don't want anyone to get ahold of me !

A American A Association[/b] of R Retired P Persons

They decided, some years back, to start messing in politics outside their purview - taking an anti-gun position on multiple pieces of legislation that had zilch todo with retiring.

Pete44ru

Yep.

Pete44ru

Well, I am - and I vote that way too !

My E-Bay & Paypal accounts are now closed, with my complaint/explaination.

I also refuse to join AARP - no matter how many discounts they can get me.

Pete44ru

A "no contest" plea is not the same as "not guilty".

IIRC, anyone pleading thusly is then subject to the "mercy of the court", beit harsh or lenient.

I have a friend that's a prison guard, and I couldn't do his job if my life depended on it. I'd probably be in there permanently, right quick, if any of the things happened to me, that happened to my friend. It takes a special kind of person, to be able to do that kind of work - and my hat's off to ...

Rechambering a .35 Rem rifle to .358 Win is the cheapest, provided the action can take .358 Win pressure - I wouldn't do a .35R Marlin 336. The next cheapest would be to have a .243, .260, or .308 Win rifle rebored to .358 Win - doable by most rebore shops, provided the muzzle O.D. is at least .600&...

I've been using the 300gr Nosler exclusively in all my .45-70's, since it was first introduced with complete satisfaction, no matter what the game was.

I was won over, after a few misses, using a rainbow trajectory 405gr factory load.

[did you say archery for sqirrels? ... but I can't even imagine how unproductive that might be. I probably just don't understand the accuracy that can be achieved with the modern bow. I can forsee a lot of hunting down errant arrows that sailed into the yonder.] About as "unproductive" as...

My state's small game season's due to start in mid-October, running to the middle of February - rimfire rifles, shotguns, sub-.40cal muzzleloaders & archery allowed.

The squirrel's are ready.

If you'll compare the price of a Comemorative, to a like-new condition original that some of them are patterned after, you'll find out that they'e relatively inexpensive way to get a new gun of an older, hard-to-find model - with some embellishments, to boot (like upgraded wood, nicer blue/polish, e...

I've used a set of Stoney Point sticks for years - but they're out on loan since last year, to a close friend who's had to switch to shooting off his left shoulder after right-eye surgery failed him. The sticks took him from 1' @ 50 yard sized groups w/o them, to "minute-of-deer-heart" gro...

I've only handled the model, and found it too heavy for my taste - but YMMV, of course.

[I carried them home in a case sliped under the seat of the airplane. Those were the days!!! ] Yes, they certainly were ! In the early 60's, coming back from a TDY jaunt to the Azores, a few of my intrepid fellow airmen brought back a then-new Honda 50 inside the cargo deck fuel tank of a C-130. The...

Too cool.

Hey.............. I found myself in 1962 ! Its kinda like de-ja vu, all over again !

I even spotted "Frosty Freddie" - the company mess-up, who kept falling off the rope crossing.

It''ll be interesting to see, whether or not it'll be a brassie.
