Right now, I have a three .357 Magnums double action handgun from my security working days, along with 16" .357 Magnum "Guide Gun", A gun that ironicly that I have yet to fire since new. The prior owner didn't fire the weapon, traded it in at a gunshop, and I then purchased it minus b...

I seen he was in the hospital and I was wondering how he's doing?

I've been praying for him.

Looking at Doug Turnbull's web sight, I like their services to make it look more period correct or restore. But I could afford a real one, nor would I want to "mess" with it. So who if anybody making a replica of Winchester 1886? By the same token how strong is the design? Can it take the ...

If I had the money and the time I'd love to get a Stainless Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag, worked on by DRC Customs. Hardend Mag tube, glove loop lever, and a custom stainless octoganial barrel set up for heavy grain bulliets. Have a Skinner Ladder site and custom front sight. Get a old cresent style stock...

Who's offering the Hornady 160gr bulliets as componets?

No recoil will not be a problem at all. But what I'll be allowed to justifyably keep is another. All the court would have to do is look at all the BATFE 4474 forms that I've filled out over the years and that could lead to more trouble than I want during a proceeding. And speaking from prior experia...

It is with great regret that I find my self in a position were I am going to have to get rid of major portion of the battery. Due to medical reasons I have to declare bankruptcy and I won't be able to keep everything I currently own. :cry: :cry: :cry: The disposition of everything has been decided, ...

Just like the .327 Federal is like a .357 magnum but better. NOT! Like the .45 GAP ammo it's redundent. Like you can find out with the articals page one can see some of these "down and out" calibers, wouldn't be that way if their weren't for some technical/ human engineering issuse such as...

Well I like to have both good optics and good iron sights (I am thinking a skinner ladder sight here). For if super klutz here drops the rifle and I hear the crunching noise of $400 scope going bye, bye. :roll: I'll still have something to work with. That and I like the scout rifle set up I got to t...

I was wondering I was looking at marlins web site and I was looking at getting a .45LC lever. But is the only one I see has a octoganial barrel not a big deal, except I wanted to put a scout mount on mine. Did Marlin ever make a round barrel version? If they did maybe I can find one used. Thanks in ...

I was on another board and someone brought up a question on the .35 Remington. Am I right in saying that their no way to make it an Auckley Improved because its too close pressure wise to the casings limit or the rifles?

I'm debating wheater to stay with my .30-30 and now I come across this! :? :x Now I know of the story that Paco tells of a young man at the turn of the century killing a grizz with his .30-30. But my father came across a picture in some hunting magazine ( he could remember what magazine other than i...

All right in My prior posts I was wondering if any one has .357 Magnum rifle and if they had any 600+ yards shooting experiance. Now I am in a great debate. I currently have a Marlin 336 in .30-30 Win and a Marlin 1894C in .357 Magnum. I am debating losing the .357 magnum handguns I own for I no lon...

I was just amazed to hear that a heavy .44mag or a .45LC could do like it's grandpa could the .45-70. I'm just amazed that it could do a man in at 800 yards! My question is has anyone shot a large tree (over 8" around), at 600 to 800 yards away, with a .357 magnum heavy load of 158, 180, or 200...

I was reading in American Handgunner Magazine about a review of Rugers Redhawk 4" in .45LC (darn, I WANT ONE!). John Taffin wrote the artical. John Toffin wrote how he and Jim Taylor were shooting Ruger Blackhawks (with 71/2" barrels) with 300gr. heavy loads at a log cabin 800+ yards away....

Granted I'm not worried about any elephant here in Ohio, short of one rampaging out of the zoo or the circus. My brother poseses a weapon proven to take a elephant, a Thompson center Renagad in .54 Cal that and , according to a load book a 190gr charge of FFFG under a 500gr bullet can shoot through ...

I just read in Rifle Magazine about DRC's modified Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag. ( I want one! No make that three! :D :D ). The authour mentioned every type of game animal on the planet, including an ELEPHANT has been killed by a .44 mag Revolver??!!! Is that true ??? Who did it? What type of rev? Barrel ...

THANKS, I WANT TO GIVE HIM SOME BUSSNIESS, BUT IT"S HARD TO FIND A MOVING TARGET!

Where has Mr. Clay moved off to? I tried to write him from a old (2002) artical from weapons for Military and Law Enforcment. He didn't write back.

Hi, everyone new to the board I was a lurker for years now I'm on and putting in my .02 FWIW. I 'd say for home defense if one wise on selecting the bullets for your caliber. For .37 Magnum I'd recommend any 110 or 125gr THAT SHATTERS in the human body on Impact. Don't get the newer HP's like Winche...
