for some patients they work extremely well. most patients get significant benefit. severe complications are fortunately rare. most importantly needs to be done by someone with a lot of experience.

I know lots of patients who have them and benefit from them

yes, the 16" is really handy, especially in the side by side 4 wheeler !

sorry, wish I had seen it sooner. I do love the two that I have.... a lot of fun to shoot.

NOT MINE !local guy has a rossi stainless .480 `16" trapper... they say only 100 of the 480s were made and they bring big bucks now this one is only 700$ I have two already [ blue and stainless] or this would be mine !!! have seen them consistently bring over 1500$ lately https://alaskaslist.co...

72 and ….just like COSteve will be 73 on Nov 8th

started shooting at age 2 1/2
started reloading about age 32.

that rear rack is just perfect for the tuba !

those conversions are so much fun....I have one just like yours and it is amazingly accurate, will out shoot most of the rest of my 38s and 357s !

hfcable

way to go ! I have always wanted an 8 bore, and have bid on a lot of them but never connected. I am impressed...that is a beauty !

John Milius wrote the screenplay and has been a NRA director. Good chance he knew what a 44 Special was in the 1970s considering he wrote in a 458 win mag and a 44 Automag into his movies.

32 special really is special. Paco wrote a great article on it, and in his books. the larger bore size gives it an improved expansion ratio and it really can perform ! I am working up some of his loads right now …. I have had several 32s but only have one now . it is a marlin model 36, made in 1947,...

What a bizarre lever action ! I knew of the Bullard single shot but didn't realize it was basically a chopped down lever action repeater, the latter having come first. The action locks a bit like a rolling block, with the locking mechanism to the very rear. A long breech bolt goes forward to pick u...

OldWin wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 4:44 pm Nice! I wouldn't say it's rough. When you consider how many there are I'd say it ain't bad at all.
If you get a chance, scrub up that bore and try her out!

I sure will, and bet it will shoot reasonably well.

hfcable

actually is just very 'brown all over ' but all metal and wood are intact and action is smooth, bore is dark but excellent rifling. haven't tried to clean the bore yet;

hfcable

I have only had one and still have it. it is a 44/40 and pretty rough shape. will dig it out and take a picture, but I am sure Shrapnel would have a better one. I keep trying to get a nicer one but it is very hard to find one, especially an affordable one.

hfcable

I will ask...I decided not to tackle it myself and had a local gunsmith who really is a wood worker more than just a gunsmith

just sold one of those, about a year ago … takedown version too. I had gotten it in a group of items and had huge amount of brass, the dies, and everything needed.

I hate the thought of damage or destruction to these pieces of history.
Six recently shipped a beautiful 95 up to my son in your neck of the woods. I was a nervous wreck till it got there safe.

I like those 95s ! what caliber?

he did a very nice job. I really like this rifle, have taken several caribou with it, and it is just one of those guns that feels completely right in your hand !

thanks, that would have been a good one to grab. I have bid on lots of whitney-kennedy large frames but have yet to get one, but I will keep trying. would like one in 45/60, as it would be very useful and easy to feed.
