I always thought GunBroker was superior to Guns America ... say 10 years back. But today, GB seems like a flea market compared to Guns International.

True, the juries in these last several high profile cases have been doing their jobs well. They seem to be able to cut through the BS and render justice ... or relief as the case may be.

when was the last time you hit the gun show in lakeland? i may go on 1/22/22

I'll be going to that one I think. Love me some big Lakeland show. Haven't been in years. Curious to see what it's like in this COVID wind-down stage.

Video from another angle in this article. Complicated, but the man killed slung the other guy around using the gun to do so but didn't "take" the gun. There seemed to be significant distance between the two when the shots were fired. It's not clear that he was advancing on him when he was ...

Rhim, I see no evidence when the father of the child he came to pick up, according to the pre-arranged custody orders, tried to enter the house. Not sure where you are coming from on this idea. Yeah, whatever happened was out of frame to the left. There was a woman in the doorway moments before, on...

Rimfire McNutjob

I think the guy who was killed was there to pick up his child as part of the court ordered sharing of custody. Seems the friend (perhaps boyfriend) of the mother decided to produce a weapon instead of the child. Obviously it didn't end well for the father but I don't think it's going to end all that...

99.9% of America these days doesn't realize you have to cock the hammer on an SAA before the trigger will fire the weapon ... albeit I'm discounting the likelihood he was fanning the gun. Even today's "knowledgeable" younger gun people are only familiar with Glocks and other such semi-auto...

Ok, now I'm fascinated with the tools he using. I didn't completely understand what he was saying, but the square orange thing seems to be a chronograph. Not sure about the other. Would love to learn more about them. I'll have to check his pages and see if there's a reference there to those tools. A...

Crazy I know, can't believe there's no bids on it! lol

Wow, even with the fancy machine pressed checkering.

Rimfire McNutjob

You'd think that Winchester could make money doing their own guns but apparently not ... even they have to go offshore for manufacturing. Yet, companies like UFSA seemed to do well making classics in the USA. Of course, USFA died of stupidity ... not lack of a market for their SAA's. People still pa...

Rimfire McNutjob

Odd that of all those in the Starline list, the .348 WCF is by far the most expensive per case. Not sure why that would be.

Rimfire McNutjob

Thanks, but I'd have to start driving right now to make it (up I-75 then over on I-10). I do still need to regulate the last two leaves of my sight on the 450 Alaskan for 150 and 250yds. Some day.

Rimfire McNutjob

I was getting pretty nervous that it was taking as long as it did. I don't suppose they'll be charging any of the other's that assaulted Rittenhouse now. Apparently it's fine to carry concealed without a license for Mr. Grosskreutz and it's apparently ok that Mr. Freeland, aka Jump Kick Man, assault...

Rimfire McNutjob

A lot of analysis today seems to indicate that the prosecutor is trying to get a mistrial so he can have a do over.

Rimfire McNutjob

Or you could go off the rails and setup for 480 Achilles.

Rimfire McNutjob

Yum I say to that set of Lightnings. Some day I'll find a 32-20 in good shape. Apparently much of the good stuff never crosses below the Mason-Dixon line. All of these retirees seem to sell their good stuff BEFORE they move to Florida instead of bringing it with them. Much of it seems to end up in J...

Ruger Mark I w/ 6-7/8" barrel. Still have it.

I guess I'll have to get one of the book. I'm still trying to figure out how the cartridges get into the tube. I'm gonna have to go with "underneath the receiver".

Rimfire McNutjob

Is this like the 80% Browning 1911 in 22 LR? I'd love a birds-head grip in 32-20. Why no love for the .327 Federal ... too long?

Rimfire McNutjob

It's not in Howell's book from 1995. It might post date that. Of course, the .414 Super-Mag isn't in there either.

Rimfire McNutjob

I think I found it in the Kassab/Dunbar book on pages 99 & 100. There are some notes about it in the pictures. I'm interpreting but I suspect the lever would drop a smidge on firing the high pressure stuff. It looks like T.C. Johnson adapted a lock for the first model and then they went to the t...

Rimfire McNutjob

Quite a lot of exterior taper for a pistol round. More than what I'm seeing is average for many American cartridges.

Rimfire McNutjob

I have gone from the imperial section of Howell's book into the dreaded metric section to see if it's there. The "IMI" might be Israeli Military Industries? Something for their Desert Eagle line?

Rimfire McNutjob

If it had an extractor groove, it would be darn near a .401 Winchester Self-Loading.

Rimfire McNutjob

Did feel like giving us a shot of the case head stamp I see. Off to Ken Howell's book of Customer Cartridges it is for me.

[edit]

OK, too long for .41 Remington Magnum, more searching ...

Rimfire McNutjob

Does anyone know why they went to the two-piece lever early on in Win '95 production? The two-piece has that latch which leads me to believe there was an issue with the lever drooping ... perhaps from internal wear or maybe pressure from the bolt when firing. I just think the early solid lever and r...

I must have my secret decoder ring set wrong. I don't see a link to a book.

Rimfire McNutjob

I would avoid the Wheeler Engineering set. I've found that you can't get replacement bits which are coded with some internal bit number. I just checked their site again and there's a negative review on there where he calls them out for not being able to get replacement bits.

Yeah, I had one of my 71's converted to a takedown and added a 20" 450 Alaskan barrel. It handles nicely at that length.

Rimfire McNutjob

Moving a 71 from 348 Win to 50-110 WCF or 450 Alaskan is probably the best path forward. I would think an 86 in 45-90 would be formidable unless it's without a nickel steel barrel and needs to be run at lower pre-smokeless pressures. You should be able to get 50-110 brass online and even 450 Alaskan...

Nice. Tuesday evenings here are usually either 90+ degrees or pouring rain. @RHIMFIRE would know ... he's our local Skeet shooter. Good that you guys are still into the pleasant weather that we Floridian's give up at the end of April. I'm wondering if that heat wave they have out West is going to ma...

Rimfire McNutjob

Are most of these Miroku guns from that era? I was always curious if the Winchester Miroku's have the metric threads that the Browning's do. So parts are no interchangeable with original Winchesters.

Rimfire McNutjob

To me, it simply looks like the round was fired with the bushing already absent. It just looks like the primer inverted itself with nothing to hold it in place. There's just not enough metal for that to be the bushing attached to the back of the round.

Rimfire McNutjob

I need one in a 4" bird's head. Ivory panels perhaps.

Rimfire McNutjob

My only concern is photo #2. The buttplate looks too proud to the wood....like the wood may be sanded there. Too hard to tell from that one photo though. The photo that shows the wood/tang fit certainly looks nice, and the finish itself appears like a mid 50s factory finish. It look evenly proud al...

Rimfire McNutjob

Can someone tell me what revolvers #86 and #87 are? Lightings?

I do like there ERMA .22 Luger carbine and I am, of course, a sucker for a nice Smith Model 53 Jet with the extra cylinder ... though I need an 8-3/8", not a 6".

Rimfire McNutjob

Again with the primers. I think it was 2013 when the last primer crunch hit. I filled up back then and haven't really looked since. I guess the fact that you can't hardly find any 22LR ammo in stock should have been an indicator.

But does the end always curl in the same direction in our hemisphere?

Rimfire McNutjob

Wouldn't you have to re-barrel to do that? Since the .44 Mag is shorter. Perhaps some lifter and/or cartridge guide work?

Rimfire McNutjob

So that particular 50 BMG works about the same as a pipe bomb ... screw on cap. Hard pass.

Rimfire McNutjob

An even 30 for me. I miss my great grandmother's congealed salad.

Rimfire McNutjob

Nice. I bought a kid's CZ452 to get my daughter started and it's about that size. I hope you've got a stash of CB Caps somewhere. I can't find them or shorts or even longs. I mean, who bought all of the longs out?

Rimfire McNutjob

Found some brass here but it's kind of pricey. Didn't see any Qual Cart at Midway.

Rimfire McNutjob

If it were me rather then buying the spendy reforming dies I’d call Quality Cartridge and buy 5 boxes of 33 WIN brass . It’ll probably be same money wise or a few dollars less and you don’t have to fool with the forming stuff . I suspect a 100 pieces of brass will last you for all you wanna shoot i...

I've got a Colt 6700 that is still in the box from back in '94. I had taken it out of the plastic bag when I got it, pulled out that strange cardboard straw that Colt put in there, oiled the bore, and put it back in the bag and box. I've not really seen it since. Might be a good gun to try those Mag...

I've not bought any new magazines for my AR's since 1994. We all remember how that went ... at least those of us with graying hair. But I've always wanted to check out the Magpul stuff that didn't really exist back then. A lot of my stuff is the original aluminum military style ... usually Colt mark...

I thought this was interesting for those into the 1911 auto. Might be a bit large for the purpose. The word "this" is a video link for those who didn't notice.
