That looks like you hit the Nebraska Lottery, fer sure !

If I was from PRK, I think I'd sneak a call into Randy Barnes, and see if he was developing a flat-nosed .375" solid copper anything for a market as big as that.

TIP: Take a cartridge with you, when straw hunting- to be sure to get the right inner diameter, to accept the shells.

The straws, I got, also accept .22mags.

[Finger woven or inkle loom?] R U speakin' Gaelic, or sumptin', Hobie? I am clueless, as to what you mean. I just bought the cloth "ribbon" (?), off a larger spool, at a sewing store in a strip mall, that also sold clothing pattens and bolts of cloth to make clothes from. The store had abo...

Dear Abby: My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse is that everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job six years ago; he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he...

I hear ya - I paid $700 for a .45-70 M1885 Traditional Hunter, a few years back - complete with Marbles tanger, etc, NIB as issued by Browning.

Get you some free plastic straws, from either a National chain of coffee houses or burger joints, and a box of foam earplugs from WallyWorld or your local gun pusher. Twist one earplug to a thin-enough size, to slide into one end of a straw (flush with the end) and leave it as an end plug. The foam ...

You can always buy a Green card(s) on the street, move to Bedford-Sty & apply for Welfare (public assistance) - and see how this country really works.

It has the 20" octagon barrel.

Well..............If ya think about it, the 1895's only about 3 bullet hole diameter's off !

But Joe - They hadda let them go! If the Mex's got PO.'d, they'll stop our janitors, etc, from coming into work!

Pete44ru

I, too, get about a 6" difference @ 100yds in the POI of my Marlin .35 - but much less (about 1 1/2") in my M1895SS .45-70.

I've readjusted my .35's peep accordingly- but, IMHO, the .45-70's close enugh, for government work !

Prolly "fire".

BTW - That's how I used to clean my empty brass, back when I was handloading.

I'd put a hundred empties or so, into an pillowcase, and toss in the close washer along with a towel load. Worked great - and no media to pick outta flash holes, either.

Pete44ru

Another difference is that used 2-pin New Model SBH's never sell for more than about $350, whereas most any 3-screw Od Model SBH, in like condition, is worth a minimum of $150 more - some much more, depending on details (like long gripframe, mahogany box, white box, certain markings or lack of them,...

IMHO, the signee from that state deprtment ought to have been Mr. Ben Tover.

Pete44ru

Take care, just "where" the scope (and it's lenses) is positioned, in relation to the breech face. Some inlines "blowback" in that area, and can damage a scope or dirty the lenses - and may require a scope coat/protector. https://secure.tcarms.com/store/index.php/action/item/id/3...

Unbelievaburgable !

That's easily the nicest upgrade, I've seen yet ! Which arm & leg did ya give fer her?

Pete44ru

Sevice buddies are different than all other relationships. It's amazing, how we can pick up pretty much where we left off, after so many years. If you were friendly, you'll still be friends & if you had probs then, you still will. I'd guess it's because those relationsips were forged in fire. 8)

I've had the black nylon/Cordua swivel-less sling for at least ten yers, Joe. IIRC, it was in a Butler Creek or Uncle Mike's labeled plastic bag, tagged @ $3.00, in the sporting goods department of a chain store now out of business. The red, camera strap style was handmade by moi. I picked out the s...

This is an actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, State of Michigan, several years ago. This guy's response is hilarious, but read the State's letter before you get to the response letter. SUBJECT: DEQ File No.97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. ...

That's right up there, with slippin' & fallin' when crossing a pig sty - Phew ! :lol: BTW - Speaking of putting the urine on yourself - Anyone remember seeing the video of the dude with the penned "pet" buck, that like near kicked him to death when he went near it during the rut with s...

After forty years of hunting, I guess I'm just stuck on soft 'n stowable.

She caught me today, coming home with $45 worth of deer urine !

I tole her it was my new Fall parfume.

dkm - I slipped in a reference to your ad, over on the Ruger Forum's Classifieds Section - But I deleted it, after I saw that your gun was being held pending funds.

[Detailed variations aside, the Kentucky/Pennsylvania/Tennessee rifles are full stocked, long barrelled rifles. Usuallly not larger than .50 caliber with .40s and .36 or .32s in greater abundance.] The smaller bores are sometimes referred to as "Squirrel Rifles", and these "State name...

Pete44ru

I've never seen one with that many leafs, nor have I ever seen any in conjunction with a ladder/carbine rear sight.

I have my doubts, as to the practical value, of having that many sightings/zeroes available - especially on what is essentially a short-range cartridge.

Pete44ru

An alternative to swivels (Q.D. or not), that I use on guns I don't wish to molest, is a non-permanent type which usually has a loop of some sort that slides around either the barrel or barrel/mag tube from the front, and a strap or cup arrangement at the rear that cradles the last 3" of the bu...

If you haven't already done so, you might want to coon-finger a completed muzzleloader, of the type you're contemplating building, before ordering a kit. The various styles (Hawken, , Trade Gun, Squirrel Rifle, Buggy Rifle, etc) all handle and weigh differently, and usually have different barrel len...

Late 1960's to late 1970's, 3/4".

Too bad someone D/T'd it for the scope mount(s) - they really cut the value down, over an untouched one.

How much is the asking price ?

Pete44ru

[Just as a personal favor out of gratitude for your nice observation I'm ready and willing to take that ruined old handgun so you won't be reminded of your misfortune]

Don't worry - I won't burden you, either - I was so upset at myself, I sold it !

Pete44ru

You shoulda bought 5 of 5 - the best price Ive found here in New England is $17.99 per box/20.

Pete44ru

I agree. My wife & I were happy, for 22 years - and then we met !

R U gonna get the fox/foxes taxidermied ? That brace'd make a nice display.

Pete44ru

[Things such as coyotes and such.]

Depends on how many legs the "coyote" has - Scott's got the right idea.

Pete44ru

I had the early, first-issue, fluted cylinder fixed-sight model - it shot so-so, OK. I later bought a used blued .22mag clyinder off an auction site, fitted it, and that shot about the same - except nowhere near the sights. IMHO, the adjustable sight guns, although not as "pretty", are mor...

Grizz - Please consider removing the lambswool, ASAP ! I know, I know - it has lanolin in it - that means it holds moisture from soaking into the lambswool but doesn't keep the moisture away from the gun. You might very well take it out of the case one day, turn it over, and get a really sick feelin...

A pristine or NIB #3, in any caliber other than .45-70, is worth every cent of $750, with some caibers going for well over that.

Pete44ru

Hip-hip, Hurray !

An aerosol can of spray-on velvet flock - in a nice color, that'll match yore shorts, applied to the innards, and she'll be good to go !

Joe - The older carbines, including the .25-20 & .32-20 M92 Winchesters I've owned, have all had the "proper" ladder-type rear barrel sight with the square-based small post - as in leverdude's 1st & 2nd pictures. It's the longer barreled rifles , usually denoted by having a rounded...

Four years ago, I put an XS LeverScout mount on my .44 Marlin 1894P - but took off the Burris Scout scope I had initially mounted, and first switched to a new Weaver 2-7X28 variable Pistol scope , but then finally settled on a new Weaver straight 2X pistol scope. I was dis-satsfied with the Burris' ...

Pete44ru

Yore gonna find out that it's crazy accurate, too !

I have a 1946 model that shoots tiny groups with standard-speed ammo & issue iron sights.

I'm in the middle of peepin' the 1951 model, I picked up at a NH gunshow last Saturday - and I can't hardly wait to get 'er to the range!

Pete44ru

And,]/b] the .38 Special has just that little bit more nostalgia to it, than a .357, IMHO.

Call it: The charisma of a .38-40, without all the bother.

The original "Sourdough Patridge" front sight was made by Redfield, and was a dovetail-type flat blade, about 3/16" thick, in various heights with a squared-off top that had the top rear corner cut at a 45-degree angle to the shooter & inlaid with a small square brass face/bead. A...

Besides the above comments, how clean do you like the top of your gun to be ? The Lyman and the FP-TK(target knob) both have large adjustment knobs - the elevation knob rivaling the aperture housing for attention, and the edge of the windage knob also intruding. The 5D has less of a profile in those...
