O.S.O.K.

Well, I've got both and like em both equally well. In fact, its hard to find a gun of any type that I don't like but they're out there - like the Hi Point's for example - yuck. But it's not the price per se as I really like my NEF Handi Rifle in 45-70...

O.S.O.K.

Outstanding! I can't wait for the upcoming hunt! That's a great trophy

O.S.O.K.

yep, what goes around, comes around. Way to go! So, you gonna be shooting cast bullets or Rem flat noses? Or other? I've got a nice old Savage bolt gun a "sportsman" with detachable 5 round mag. I've been meaning to take it to the range to check the new rear sights I installed. I load 86 g...

O.S.O.K.

Thanks for the replies gents - I will be printing this after it's "done" and giving to my buddy.

He is pretty well set on 6.5-06 or 6.5-284 and .260 Rem for sure in the other rifle.

O.S.O.K.

OK, my gunshop dealer buddy is looking at rebarreling a M78 Remington that came into his shop - already has a Jewel trigger installed and it's chambered for 30-06. I saw this and almost bought it - $295 (before he knew the Jewel was in there). Anyway, he's been wanting a 6.5mm for some time since it...

Its Howdy Duddy Time... what a bunch of old fanny burbs we have here... (yes, takes one to know one)

O.S.O.K.

first off, what do you mean "on the way to"? IMHO, they are already "there". And secondly, history has proven over and over that you get the government that you deserve. If the population is apathetic and wantst to be taken care of, then that's exactly what they get - a nanny sta...

O.S.O.K.

I'd shoot it with a pellet gun or .22 rifle with cb's or trap it (drop net would do good), cut the arrow, put some vasaline on the side to be pulled through and then pull it out - let im go.

Easier just to pop it in the head though.

O.S.O.K.

There are a bunch of southern states that would welcome a wealthy guy with 85 guns and 50K rounds of ammo. And did you see the %&*##% neighbor commenting "I don't know why anybody would need more than one gun reeely" :mad: This kind of thing really mankes me mad - this guy's constituti...

O.S.O.K.

somebody call the police - I think there's been a theft.... Wow, $250? Man... You know that if you don't take a shine to that flint it can most likely be converted to percussion just by replacing the hammer and installing a drum/nipple in the flash hole.... and you can sell the hammer and lock and p...

O.S.O.K.

Have you tried the shatter test yet? I'd be interested in seeing the results of that. I think if it's not too difficult to get the communist approval, that I'd just go for using the silver solder as opposed to specific bullets if that makes any sense. I don't know how the form is set-up, but making ...

Welcome to the board - thanks for sharing the pics!

Well this is getting repetative, but I shoot a LOT more than I hunt, but I really like to hunt, so if given the choice, I'll take a hunting opportunity over a shooting opportunity every time.

Well, Bob beat me to it, but here's a place to buy the CCI M34 primers:
http://www.grafs.com/product/184980

They show "out of stock" on the 1000 quantity, but I'm sure that'll change.

O.S.O.K.

This was about 10 years ago?

O.S.O.K.

That's the exact same trim - the stamping and edge lace that I have on my #88 Street Combat - for my Smith 696 44 Spcl - and the pistol sports very similar grips too - but not nearly as nice wood. I lucked out on the holster - these extras run a lot more and I happend to be at a Dallas fun show when...

O.S.O.K.

I voted Yes... jk

another no added - looks overwhelmingly NO

O.S.O.K.

It was clear enough to me.

If you are a law enforcement officer, you also swore and oath to uphold the constitution.

O.S.O.K.

Dusty - first off, I hope you're up on ammo prices - be sure and ask for a good price on that 308 ammo. You can't buy military surplus for less than $12 for 20 rounds.... A good price on standard factory ammo is $18, so I'd at least ask for $14 per box - that'd get you $182 - most of what you'll nee...

O.S.O.K.

Its best to use CCI's military spec primers for the SKS or any floating pin autoloader to avoid the slamfires that can occure if just a little resistance is produced around the firing pin... And I'd just go to Barnes TSX 123 grain .310" bullets for sks hunting in Kali. Yep, a TSX for the SKS :D...

O.S.O.K.

Mine shoots the smallest groups with hot rod loads with the 300 grain Hornady XTP. H110 or W296 powder - 20-22 grains (check your reloading manual for "Ruger" data). Just have to see where your rifle likes em.

And that's a powerhouse too - about 1400-1500 fps.

O.S.O.K.

http://www.xssights.com has the wings - but not sure if they work with the m71/86 sights - check the web site. They do list the sights for the 71 and 86 though. They're pretty tough, I wouldn't worry too much about the wings. I have a set of these for a 94 - good sights. http://www.xssights.com/stor...

O.S.O.K.

I have one and decided to go the handloading route with it. Basically you get a set of Lee dies for using 32-20 brass and use that. You do need to do a simple modification to the recoil block (the part that cams forward with the cylinder from the breechface) - you need to mill some meterial off of t...

O.S.O.K.

Three Persons is a great holster. Check this web site and you will see lots of great holsters including the Three Persons: http://www.epsaddlery.com Here's the Three Persons: http://www.epsaddlery.com/images/Product/large/65.jpg I recommend the #88 Street Combat for an outside the pants design: http...

O.S.O.K.

That's not "an older stock" - it's a newer stock by 99 standards.

And by the way, nice buck!

O.S.O.K.

Well I personally agree 100% with Pat. America is as close to a colorblind society as can be had IMHO. It is time to get over it and focus on things like personal responsibility. Listen to Bill Cosby and other black leaders (the real ones) that understand that all of this victimization stuff holds p...

O.S.O.K.

yep, just modified a bit to allow the LE ammo to feed and function well. Yes, you can use standard ammo with no problem. And the longer barrel is part of the "secret" to the higher velocity... so shortening the barrel kinda defeats the purpose of the rifle IMHO. I like em but not enough to...

O.S.O.K.

I agree. I owned (sadly, past tense) a 99 in 300 Sav - just a sniff behind the 308 and it was a pussycat with its older design stock (metal buttplate). If this were my rifle, I would go with a new stock and forget the muzzle brake. Every muzzle brake I've ever been exposed to has been a loud ***. No...

O.S.O.K.

Nice levergun. Thanks for the pics and review! I think they need to have a walnut option and chamber these for 307 or 308 Marlin and 356. I just bought a 336RC and having it converted to 356, so I'm cashed for the time being. Good to see Mossberg doing this though and they priced them right. Good Am...

O.S.O.K.

Ah after reading handirifle's post on using existing TSX bullets and making flat points out of them, I think that's the most reasonable answer. They are already approved too. You'd think Barnes would be all over this - not like they'd only sell em in Kalifornia.... This is really stupid though - kin...

O.S.O.K.

Done. Thanks for the ups.

O.S.O.K.

I haven't shot the big bores but I have the .22 levers and they are very smooth, no doubt. I don't really care for them though - just the looks or something. They look like a toy gun or something - you know, the way the toys are kinda like a "name that brand" rifle but they have lots of th...

O.S.O.K.

tungsten is harder than steel but it'd be fine as a core material - in fact, it's already used that way by Speer with it's African Grand Slam bullets. Maybe tin isn't the thing. I was just wondering. And say for a 200 grain bullet, you'd get 70 out of 2 lbs or about $.58 per bullet assuming some shi...

O.S.O.K.

I think a Winchester 86 would fit the bill. Not the light weight version, the standard version with a longer barrel. I think they weigh over 9 pounds?

And as just mentioned, a Marlin 95 with a new barrel would add weight but I'd think the balance would be ... wierd.

O.S.O.K.

The idea was to cast tin bullets as an option for leverguns that are of a bore diameter that Barnes doesn't make flat nosed x-bullets for. Tin is harder than lead, yes but is it harder than copper/brass? The idea is that it's easily cast and of course you can size them... I wasn't aware that the ***...

O.S.O.K.

All of my cas leather is made by El Passo Saddlery - I highly recommend them - they are high quality and very reasonable price - making tack and gun leather for over 100 years... http://www.epsaddlery.com I just bought one of these #88 Street Combat rigs for my Sig P220: http://www.epsaddlery.com/im...

O.S.O.K.

I was just wondering - tin is used as an additive to lead for bullet casting. It's $35 for two pounds from Midway USA, but I'm betting that there's a less expensive source available.

Just thinking that this may be the answer for cast hunting bullets there...

I've lived in the middle of the "Condor restricted" zone - the dead center of the state - for 45 years. That's with military service years not counted. And I might add, I volunteered for Viet Nam out of love for my country, even if California and the inner cities have all been hijacks by ...

O.S.O.K.

Hobie, I can't resist an opportunity to promote reloading

O.S.O.K.

From what I've read, the TSX is fine with regular loading data, just start 10% low as usual and work up from their.

I wish they made a .358 fp TSX....

O.S.O.K.

wow - very nice. My guess on the Lyman sight is that is a windage adjustment - or a windage "lock" after you've adusted it.... or maybe something to hold it up or down? - - What is the lenght of pull? May be that they just added the recoil pad which means that you could restore the buttsto...

O.S.O.K.

Wow, I would love to do that- you are very fortunate to be in a place that affords that kind of experience. Good for you to get out there and take it in. A sea kayak is really made for this kind of thing from what I understand. All of my personal experience is with standard canoes in fresh water - l...

I refuse to live in a state that is that f'd up. Illinios, Michigan, NJ, NY, MD, MA, Kalifornia, etc. - no way.

O.S.O.K.

Surprised nobody has pointed this out yet, but man, if you want "bulk" quantities, you need to reload.

How about .357 Mag rounds for $4/box of 50? That bulk priced good enough for you?

Lee makes a kit that sells for $80...

O.S.O.K.

I suggest that you hand in all of your lead core ammo..... one round at a time at about 2000 fps with all of your hunting buddies participating.

O.S.O.K.

yeah, I'd say you'd be good up to 200 grains - the twist used in most 30 calibers is 1:10 and they can handle bullets up to 250.

And that cartridge is pushing them out pretty fast, so that helps too.

If you want "more bullet" just go with an X bullet.

O.S.O.K.

myself - I am thinking a S&W 642 to protect me when the gov't men in black come to take me in. I already have Kel-Tec .380 - but a nice stainless 38 special +P would be nice to have - and would make a good fishin' gun. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2032/2278030111_9f1c1aa3b7.jpg Lets hope that...
