The Wild Wild West - another favorite! Yeah. Sci-fi "Wild West Tech"

My SMLE's like fat, long bullets and I think most do. I'm talking about .314", 215 grain or thereabouts bullets. I actually get the best accuracy with gas check cast bullets of those parameters at around 2000 fps. And I want to say that the idea that you can keep a couple of boxes of ammo on ha...

I'm going to have to carry these? I'll assume by your choices "no" that you'll have a cabin or some such to keep these. 1) Marlin 1895 45-70 standard model with black chrome treatment to all of the metal and with black poly furniture with past pad installed - simple nylon sling installed. ...

Yeah, Live and Let Die - my favorite of the bond movies. Every time I hear the song on the radio it brings back memories of seeing that movie at the theatre.

A couple others that stick in my mind are Billy Jack and Deliverence - for obvious reasons...

For me .308 winchester is a good place to start. But a 308 version is an AR-10 not an AR-15. Not what you were suggesting. Semantics. I meant "AR platform" or "AR type rifles". And of course, you can move up to the bigger boys chambered in AR-XX rifles. I imagine that you can ge...

Hey Noah. I know what you've got - seen em many times :mrgreen: or pictures thereof anyway.... :wink: JREED -- if I were you, I'd be looking for a new job in a gun friendly state. Don't know what your occupation is, but there's plenty of jobs here in Texas! :) We'd love to have you and you can have ...

mike and mike, no more comments about Texas rumors and Kali haters? Weird how even the suposedly "gun people" in Kali have conspired to attack the rights of the citizens of that state. What the hell's in the water out there? I guess they don't understand how the business works. How having ...

Very cool. Thanks or sharing that. Alvin York was a product of his generation and exhibited many characteristics that saddly are discouraged by schools and other big brother organizations today.

I've done my best as a father to try and instill some of Alvin York in my three kids.

O.S.O.K.

The fact that the dems try their damnest to vilify and marginalize shooters/hunters/gun owners in general and have put forth a rabidly antigun candidate is one of the reasons that I am begining to accept that a violent revolution will ensue if the dems get into power this november. Of course, if the...

I am a resident of California (WITH A "C") and get NRA alerts via email and I haven't heard anything like this. Sounds like some rumor that would come out of tejas. Just another false rumor generated by CA haters. I buy and sell guns often and have never heard of such nonsense. Well? How ...

I think they're missing the boat - they need to offer 25, 30 and 35 cal models too.

Nice lookin airgun there - do let us know how it performs.

O.S.O.K.

You have got to be kidding me! You are recommending a plastic pop gun in a varmit caliber to a handgun caliber as a do it all. This guns a joke and the rounds it shoots are not suitable for big game. Give me a Winchester! I realize the thread is now three pages but if you read up a bit and especial...

M4gery, SAR2 (AK74 "clone" in 5.45) or Para-FAL. For "whites of the eyes" time, the .357 Marlin. FWIW the Soviet specs on AK accuracy called for a roughly 6" group at 100m. The average rifleman can acheive better with practice at 200-300m. And 6" at 100m is still MoCM ...

I didn't go to the theater much before my early teens for some reason. We did go see disney stuff and such though. I do remember the TV of course - watching felix the cat cartoons, Tobor the robot, Astro Boy, the Mickey Mouse Club, all of the Apolo Space reports, the Vietnam War as reported by Walte...

Great pics! Thanks for posting. Here's one more of mine since SKS was mentioned.... http://www.gunsnet.net/album/data//500/20500Norinco_SKS.jpg Not all that long ago, the SKS was the most popular HDR - due to the at the time, low price and cheap ammo. Well actually, the ammo was much harder to come ...

He also used a 256 Manlicher - AKA 6.5x54 which launched its 160 grain bullets at 2200 fps or so. But they were excellent penetrators - full metal jacket as mentoined. The .303 Brit with 215 fmj was also used - I wouldn't be surprised if most standard of the time rifles weren't used. Heck I think Co...

Chuck, I attended HS in Iowa too - but at Davenport West and my graduating class was just shy of 1000. And although that wasn't 50 years ago, things have still changed a lot since then - 28 years ago...

O.S.O.K.

Nice collection there! Looks like you took a shine to the Black Shadows

And although I think the AR is a very good rifle in the field (just have to have a field cleaning kit) I must agree that when it gets down and dirty, the AK is more reliable.

O.S.O.K.

Gotta love The Duke. But I didn't see too many in their first run. McClintock, True Grit, The Shootist - just his last ones. Clint Eastwood has always struck a cord with me for some reason. I'll probably order some more in the future to include Dirty Harry in addition to those John Wayne movies. Cla...

Colt 6700 that I bought in mid-94 ... the last time our rights were about to be restricted. I've yet to shoot it. Well, you might be interested in knowing that http://www.aimsurplus.com has good .223 ammo on sale right now. And I'd recommend getting some extra mags too - I like the new magpuls or t...

Great pics and nice collection salvo! Looks like you're ready

Is that 4th one down a milled Bulgy?

Griff - that is a beautiful trapper! The wood looks outstanding.

O.S.O.K.

Great pics guys! I love that Savage No.4 - I've got a modest SMLE collection - my favorite WWII non-US rifle. 10 rounds can be delivered accurately quite rapidly with one of those and they can be recharged quickly too. Here's a 1950's Ishipure No.1 Mk3 that I "unwrapped" - it isn't my nice...

I just ordered several movies from Amazon on DVD - these are all old movies that I watched first at the theater when I was growing up and I've been meaning to get them so that I can share them with my two boys that are still home (14 and 17 years old). I ordered: A Man Called Horse, The Return of th...

It must be the water. That is until they start feeding on the local human population. Years ago I asked a S.Dakota hunter what they did with problem grizzlies & he explained the 3 S's to me. Not even then. They've been feeding on folks for a few years now, and the best they do is tell you to st...

O.S.O.K.

yep, Kalifornia kittens :shock: And this is very illustrative of why there are increasing numbers of attacks on humans. Three cubs is a very successful litter. What are they going to eat pray tell?

Now, I know that many here are died in the wool lever fanatics - and that's a good thing :) And you'll emphatically state that your "homeland defense rifle" is a particular levergun. And that beats a lot of lesser (for the application) choices out there for sure. However, for me, this is a...

Who's a Kalifornia hater? And I use a "K" because the state has gone "red" in a big way. mikld, I can go to using "mexifornia" as you do if that would make you feel better... that's also descriptive - and we here in Texas have the same issue in that regard. I pitty the ...

O.S.O.K.

Old Ironsights - thanks for the information - I was unaware of that - makeing small quanities of black is illegal. What a farse! There are many out there doing just that and speaking openly about it on the gun boards. I do not, seeing it as a great way to waste money and time to get an inconsistent ...

O.S.O.K.

Old Savage, why are you picking on the 94? Especially, why are you cherry picking on it? A 94 big bore in .307 Win is the rifle/cartridge to compare your 88's to IMHO. All you've succeeded in pointing out IMHO is that a .243 has superior long range balistics over the 30-30.... and so? How does it co...

O.S.O.K.

Not to take away from the 94 but my Stevens 200 in .270 weighs 6.5 pounds before the scope. It's just a bit more than a standard 94 with it's Nikon 3x9 in place. I personally have all kinds of rifles. I like em all. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. But, If need dictated, I could do quit...

O.S.O.K.

From what I gather, this is a brand new thing.

O.S.O.K.

Since when in making a small quantity of black powder illegal? Please cite the law. I know of many people that make their own black powder for their own use. Did you know you can make tannerite (a binary explosive) legally? You can purchase it as well - comes in two parts which you combine prior to ...

This doesn't really affect me directly - just makes me mad to think of all my bretheren living there having to put up with this crapola.

O.S.O.K.

Wow, black powder.... yeah, have to admit, the AR's not much good with black. That makes me think though if anybody has ever made their own smokeless powder? It can't be that hard - just nitrocelulose with graphite coating right? I now that during the depression people would take used film negatives...

O.S.O.K.

I just heard that Kalifornia now has a law/statute that requires FFL's outside of Kalifornia to get a special permit to ship to an FFL in Kali. What a load! I was talking to Regan Nonneman and he told me about this. They are really working overtime to infringe on the right to keep and bear aren't th...

O.S.O.K.

Wow. :x I can't help but think of some Texas history right about now. The Alamo. A small band of heroic Texians surrounded by the Mexican army. The conservatives in the PRC are kinda like those Texians. It really sadens me to see such a big potentially cool state like California fall to the evil soc...

I will put in my "vote" for one of these: http://www.gunsnet.net/album/data//500/HPIM1301.JPG The loads shown are BRP cast bullet 290 grain gc over 21.5 gr H110. I like this revolver for the way it holds on target and the way it recoils with heavy loads. Even though it's got a 7.5" ba...

O.S.O.K.

Oh, I'm not worried - just a little surprised at the response. I have only two AR's and... lemee see 7 lever guns. By my own "economic vote" I favor the levergun.

O.S.O.K.

Two words - buy it.

Use it in its current excellent chambering or have it rechambered for .356 Win and be able to attain .358 Win velocities from a levergun.

O.S.O.K.

I'm a troll for pointing out the versatility of the AR? OK.... I wasn't trying to start anything other than a conversation about rifle versatility and the more modern types. I was reading the 94 can do it all/can't do it all and I looked at my new avitar (updated Battle of Goliad Flag) and it ocurre...

O.S.O.K.

"OT" = off topic.

And I wasn't suggesting that the AR-15 was "the choice" over a levergun... just pointing out that it's kinda the 94 of this past century - or more accurately, of the second half of the last century and heading into the 21st...

O.S.O.K.

Is the 30-30 enough gun for pigs - yes. I suggest a 170 grain bullet. The folks saying that .223 is enough are usually taking head shots. Many in Texas shoot the pig in the "ear" to go through the brain and drop said pig on the spot. Otherwise, the lung shot pig can run a fair distance thr...
