I love my FA 83 in 454. Keep us updated with your range report.

I've been contemplating putting a sling on my Winnie 86. Has anyone used something like this; //http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=6754&title=SWIVEL+STUD on the forearm? I'm a little leary that I'd pull it out if it didn't have a slave bracket backing it up under the for...

I can't even get away for a intrastate elk hunt, let alone an African hunt. Not that I wouldn't sell one of my kids if it were legal.

kimwcook

I'm with Hobie on this one. I'll sit and see the call before I raise anything.

kimwcook

C.Cash, the saddle is actually an old Sears saddle. I should probably put it up as Sears hasn't sold saddles for many a year. It's a modified association style tree. I have a custom saddle made by Jeff Morrow of Shootingstar Saddlery, Montana Territory. It's made on a Visalia tree with a straight ba...

Kesselrings in Burlington, WA. They're so packed that you can't hardly turn around if there's more than two of you in the store. They have a ton of 1886's hanging from the trusses.

kimwcook

Nice warm weather being expected; obvioiusly you weren't on your side of the state or you bet on low returns.

kimwcook

Welcome. Nice first post! Maple is a beautifully grained wood to me. Don't see it much on modern rifles. A ton of muzzle stuffers were stocked in it though.

kimwcook

Big Boy burgers, seen a few of those before.

kimwcook

I think you'll have to find a host.

kimwcook

Thanks everyone for your comments. You can teach a horse to some what tolerate shooting around them just check out SASS's Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association. But my personal opinion shooting from atop a horse is crazy, unless there's no choice, big bear in your face or a cat, and, your rifle's in y...

kimwcook

Just for thought, check out: http://www.leatherwoodoptics.com/

They have a line of Malcolm scopes that would look pretty period correct on a levergun.

kimwcook

TedH, I've already packed her around one season elk hunting. I didn't bring anything home. I'll either take the Sharps or my Win 86 in 45-90. The Winnie would be easier to pack as she's a bit lighter. I say a bit because both those rifles are big'uns and heavy. I'm hoping to ride one horse and pack ...

kimwcook

You've pretty much been everywhere Ysabel. I can't imagine how you've kept up the pace on the forum.

kimwcook

I originally thought of calling them ATV's, but didn't seem right.

kimwcook

Good news. Great.

kimwcook

Thought I'd throw a couple pictures up of my levergun transporters. Eventually I'll hopefully get to use my two boys hunting deer and elk. I only had the wife take pic's today of my bay, but we also have a black. Both registered quarterhorses. They're three years old. We bought them as yearlings and...

kimwcook

If I get to go I'll take my Winchester 1886 in 45-90. I'll be packing my FA Mod.83 7.5" in 454 on my hip. Factory loads on both because all my reloading equipment is in storage. Aaargghh!

kimwcook

Ya know I don't feel that old until someone does something like this. Lot's of memories, good memories.

kimwcook

My experience is that a lot of manufacturers didn't number their firearms until they had to ('68 GCA). It's a real pain in the LE world trying to identify a weapon found in the hands of no good and prove it's stolen. Then get it back to the rightful owner. It's really disheartening to be holding ont...

kimwcook

Alright crs! Keep us up to date on your load, your hunt and your trophy pic's. That's exciting!

kimwcook

Good job. My brother lived in Soldotna and his wife still does. I didn't get the chance to go hunting with him up there before he went to the big hunting grounds. We were going to go grizz hunting but it was just a thought now.

kimwcook

I've never actually had a case seperate and stay in the chamber. I immediately thought after reading the first post about the cerrosafe. Good to see it's a viable option.

I think there's actually a tool made for pulling cases like that.

Interested in seeing how your smith get's it out.

kimwcook

I like Ganjiro's 8" plate for an overall vital area and 86er's smaller target zone. I think that's an obtainable minimum standard for most shootable critters.

Kind of like ScottT's challenge isn't it. Shooting a paper plate from field positions at 100 yds.?

kimwcook

Doesn't look like I'm going to get to go hunting this year. Might be able to find a day here or there, but nothing planned or extended. Still need to work up some loads for my 45-90. Haven't even had a chance to shoot it yet.

kimwcook

First firearm shot was my Dad's Stevens, Model 64?, 22LR. I have it but it's in the safe.

First centerfire was a shotgun, Dad's Winchester Model 12, 12 gauge. Wish I had it but it was stolen.

kimwcook

That's a plain shame. Makes me wonder what the problem was/is?

kimwcook

Doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

kimwcook

Tycer, you're the man. I've been thinking about that info to.

kimwcook

I've been in hot water so much the smell doesn't even stick to me anymore.

kimwcook

Looks like a Sig 239.

kimwcook

Wife saw it, started talking about it at lunch today. The great and wonderful Dr. Oz. I just kept my mouth shut and listened. Acting like I was bored. She eventually gave up.

I think he's a wonderful Dr. I just don't need to be told how many times I should or shouldn't be fulfilling my ambitions.

kimwcook

Someone needs fired, period. That's the most assinine excuse for BS I've ever heard.

kimwcook

You lucky dog. I can't win a free trip to the bathroom.

I'd do whatever to keep the Krieghoff. It's something I'd probably never be able to afford myslef, or willing to buy with my hard earned dollars. Pass'er on down Daddy.

Pictures, man, pictures!

kimwcook

Excelletn job, well done, and with your Dad no less. Priceless.

kimwcook

I voted, yes. I'd like to have a seperate forum for classifieds. I think it would simplify finding things that are offered.

kimwcook

That's to funny, I'm going to have to tell the wife.

kimwcook

I'm a short twenty in LE including my two years as a reserve. Currently in major crimes as a detective, it get's old dealing with child assaults and rapes. Seems it's 90 percent of what we do. Get a couple of homicides that I'm primary for every year, we spread the wealth in my unit. Can't wait to p...

kimwcook

Welcome aboard.

kimwcook

Good job. I just love it when a firearm is rescued from being a durge into a pearl.

kimwcook

Oh 1894, pray tell! There are those who would like to be in the know.

kimwcook

Prayers.

kimwcook

Welcome to the fire uncool. Nice rifle. Get the right stuff for it and then as you've said, shoot it. Good luck on dropping your venison.

kimwcook

Neat story and a nice rifle. Welcome to the forum.

kimwcook

I won't willingly go into salt water because of big things with bigger teeth that are going to take a taste. There's no trees to climb in the ocean boys.

When I was 14 I spent a summer working on my dad's troller in Alaska. We pulled some seriously ugly looking stuff out of that water.

kimwcook

Beautiful shooter rifle.

kimwcook

Hey y'all, all leathers can cause a rust/corrosion problem. Chrome tanned leathers are some of the worst because of the chemicals used in tanning. But even vegetable tanned leathers will eventually cause rust. It's the moisture the leather absorbs that's the culprit. Every now and then I'd take the ...

kimwcook

If she doesn't shoot like you'd like her too just ship her to me. I'll take care of her.

kimwcook

Cool. I like history like that.

kimwcook

I agree with what most everyone is saying, that my private property is my private business, with one exception. Selling a gun to a criminal or known local low life I won't do. Most people don't have access to criminal background checks on people, that's the reason for the included "known local ...

Anyone ever use one of these on the forearm of an 1886?
