It was a very bad pick for Obama, which is good for us. I'm hoping McCain picks a pro-gun, pro-life conservative from a battleground state.

Guys, those are some really nice single actions! The 44 flattop looks great, 6pt-sitka! And wow, salvo, that .357 flattop looks minty, at least from here! Some very impressive Ruger old models! C.Cash, I can't figure out what the Ruger on the right is... 41 Magnum? It looks like it's wearing an XR3 ...

It was a couple years ago, Saturday night, downtown. My wife (8 months pregnant at the time) and I had just finished a nice dinner out and were walking back to our car. From across the street a man started yelling at us, saying all sorts of threatening things, and actually took a few steps toward us...

It's a neat little story, and I was going to forward it to some friends, and then I did a quick internet search.

It's fiction. Still, made me smile.

I've got a S&W 642 that would probably work well for ankle carry, but I carry it IWB.

IMHO the new Ruger .380 would be an excellent lightweight choice for ankle carry.

I'll have to watch that tonight. It's great when they feature guns on the Roadshow. Thanks for the heads up.

Rob

Thank you for the reply. The one I saw is a LTDIII. I'm very tempted, but there are some disadvantages....Such as, already bought a Super Blackhawk and a flatgate Single Six this month. Plus, I'd have to get rid of a long gun in the safe to make room..... And the asking price is a bit above what you...

oregon73

Can anyone give me any info on this gun? When made, how many, and about how much do they go for? It seems like a Guide Gun to me, but with an octogon barrel. Pretty sweet levergun, in my opinion....

Thanks,
Rob

oregon73

Looks like a good set-up. Some more things you might want to think about--a small roll of duct tape or gaffer's tape, extra batteries for flashlight and radios (an extra bulb for the light might also be good), a first aid kit of some sort (make sure you can treat blisters), a bandana or two, and a h...

Nice pictures! Wow!

I'm definitely going to have to get one of those short barreled NRA Mini-14's. Imagine Ruger sending that thing out to civilians with two 20-round mags. And a factory 16.25'' barrel. Sweet!

He says he's not anti, but he used to be.

That make sense?

For a 9422M XTR, $500 is a very good price these days. Like others have already said, most are going to be $600, $700+.

I gave one to my dad a few years ago and he's still got it, NIB. Now we don't want to shoot it! The thing has already doubled in value since I bought it!

Rob

oregon73

Cubrock, that's great! It's a practice I try to employ as well, even if it means spending the extra cash. There are some who would never understand....but there are many who do.

I try to buy American whenever I can.

Rob

oregon73

Definitely don't see many 9410's coming up on the used racks at my local gun shops. I'd still say shoot it.

Rob

oregon73

Thank you everybody for the information. If I had room in my safe and some extra cash, I'd be thinking hard about it. As it is, it is good to know more about another somewhat obscure levergun cartridge.

Rob

oregon73

Dakota7, it is at The Gun Broker here in Clackamas, Oregon. I'm not sure about the configuration of the gun or the condition--only noticed that it was a 94AE. They also had three boxes of factory ammo in the store--must've come in with the gun. Their number is 503.657.7203 in case your friend is int...

It's quite obvious that government in the wrong hands can be a serious threat to freedom and liberty in the United States. Just look at the Clinton administration, with Janet Reno as Attorney General. Probably the worst I can think of. But then, George Bush Sr. and Ronald Reagan both either signed l...

oregon73

Can anyone give me the lowdown on this cartridge? I saw a 94AE today chambered in 307 Win. and I was curious, because I didn't know anything about it. I have no interest in buying that particular gun at this time, just wanted to know more. Thanks.

Rob

The NRA isn't perfect but they do seem to have some clout in DC. Good move, IMHO.

I usually clean them when I get home from shooting.

As I kid I remember one of my grandfathers never cleaned his guns, and the other did. Both had guns that shot well, but guess whose looked better?

Rob

oregon73

Blaine, I've got a Kahr MK40. Used to carry it a lot in a Mitch Rosen IWB holster. Though a bit heavy, it carried well, and shot very well. In my opinion, Kahr makes a very good gun.

Rob

Wow, those boxes are nice! I like them all but that Winchester Silvertip box.....well, they don't make em like that anymore, and they never will again. Very nice! My two cents: keep them. If you shop the sales in the fall, you can find new Remington or Federal .30-30 pretty cheap--after rebate I got...

No leverguns loaded for home action. A Bushmaster and a Glock 19 are ready to go. Hopefully never to be used, but ready nonetheless.

I carry a S&W 642, which is a five-shot .38 Special+P. Along with the gun, I usually have two speed strips in my pocket, with six rounds each. That seems like plenty although sometimes there's a speedloader in my coat pocket. I do agree that most defense situations would not require more than th...

Rusty wrote:Yep, he DOES want it in .30-30. I didn't know if the AE's were any good or not. Personally I find one with a safety kind of appalling.

Rusty <><

Yeah, I don't think you'll find many fans of the Winchester safety on this forum....

Rob

oregon73

Just the basics....I'd say his choice depends on whether he can live with the safety (there are plenty out there without the safety) and will he ever want to mount a scope (I know it's not for everybody...) But if he might want to scope it, then an angle eject is the way to go (94AE). In my experien...

oregon73

Nice....absolutely! I like the 9422s anyway, but wow! That would go real nice with an old model Single Six, if the cylinder frame were done up the same way.

Rob

I like Rugers and I like Smiths. Hell, I carry a Smith every single day.

But no doubt in my mind, Ruger makes a stronger, more durable product. It's pretty obvious.

Rob

oregon73

I used to have a 1978 F-150 and had a gun rack mounted on the back wall, behind the bench seat. +1 for no advertising.

I can see how the AR-15 gets looks. Thankfully, no one looks twice at a levergun.

I guess it's not for everybody, but a good Bloody Mary is an excellent way to start the day, IMO. Breakfast of champions!

I also mix mine with V8, Worstecher, Tabasco....

Lots of great suggestions here.... The Colt Python IMHO is the best of the lot. It is a great gun and in a 4'' platform, great to carry. Let me just say they are worth every dime, BUT don't know if you want to drop that much cash on a Python when the others will do the same job, just won't be as &qu...

I have carried this little thing once in a while but not anymore.

Also, have concealed this in a crossdraw holster under a heavy coat.

I guess a 25 ACP fulfills the first rule of a gunfight (have a gun) but that is about it. The round does not have a reputation as a fight stopper and while I suppose one could get off a well-placed shot, I'd rather have something stronger when the chips are down. 38 Special and 9mm are as low as I ...

Yikes, the guy wanted $500 for a used gun that would retail for $400 in a gun shop and maybe do $350 face-to-face??? What is the world coming to? I guess there will always be profiteers but isn't it a little early?

Call me "old fashioned" but my Winchester 94 loves Remington Core-Lokt 170 gr. I think if the shooter does his part, the 170 gr. will get the job done.

There is a book available that details all firearms laws of all 50 states, plus Mexico and Canada, for any traveler who is interested. Reciprocity is covered, as well as what constitutes legal carry of a loaded firearm inside a vehicle for each particular state.

I've shot both and enjoy both. The 4'' model is fun, though. A little snappier (by that I mean the muzzle jumps up a little more than on a 5'' government model) but not too much so. Kimber makes a Compact model (a few different kinds) that have a 4'' barrel with an Officer's-size frame. Very nice lo...

I can't think of any guns that are cheap enough right now to warrant buying and stashing for later... But BlaineG is totally onto something with the hi-cap mags. They basically doubled in price during the ban. If I could get a NIB Beretta 15-round mag for $60 during the ban, I was doing good. Now th...

In the woods, I carry an old model Blackhawk .357 with 4-5/8'' barrel, worn in a crossdraw holster (although sometimes strongside). This has always been my favorite woods bumming gun--accurate and powerful enough for what we've got here in Oregon. It's loaded with standard 158 gr. soft points, usual...

I thought the post would be positive the minute I read the subject line. But I can see how someone could read it the other way.
