This is interesting!

BlaineG, I think a lot of it is psychological dependence or they just want the feeling of the "high". I have no doubt that many of the narcotics that are out there ARE addicting physically but lets face it . . . the people that are taking these drugs illegally do not care if they are "...

Mr. Murbach,
It truly is good to see that you are alive and well. And I must say that I have missed your presence here. I hope you don't stay gone too long if you decide to take a break from this place again.

I'm kind of partial to either my grandfather's Remington Model 721 or my Ruger Hawkeye both being chambered in 270 Winchester. Light recoil for the power that it has and shoots flat as well.

Should we possibly pick one person to send the "first" card with the links included in it. Wait for a reply before sending the rest of our condolences to prevent undue stress? Does this sound like a plausible option?

Lost another law enforcement officer today. Lost a detective that was raiding a meth lab last month in Clay county, Florida. http://www.wesh.com/news/30620933/detail.html http://hinterlandgazette.com/2012/02/clay-county-fl-military-veteran-detective-david-white-fatally-shot-meth-raid-middleburg-home...

I own a Bushmaster AR15A2 20" HBAR. I personally prefer the 20" over the 16" because of the added velocity. While many may disagree (this is personal opinion and is based only on speculation and no real life experiance) I try to stick with a 20" barrel and prefer 55 grain rounds....

RustyJr

Glock 23 in 40S&W. Perfect combination of power, conceal-ability and shoot-ability.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I have a Bushmaster A2 20" HBAR and have no complaints about mine.

Will be praying for you as well sir.

If you don't handload I would recommend a 44 Mag. Factory ammunition in my area is more available in 44 mag than in 45 colt as well as cheaper. Others may say otherwise but this has been my experiance after trying to find 45 colt ammunition for a friends Henry Big Boy. Ended up having to order it fr...

RustyJr

Usually have at least a Glock 23 in 40S&W on my hip in an IWB holster. If I'm carrying something other than that except for when hunting during deer season, its usually just a Ruger 10-22 with a 1-4x scope or H&R in 410. For a big bore sixgun I tend to like my 5.5" Super Blackhawk in 44...

Well, I ordered a set of wood grips for my Security Six to replace the Hogue rubber grips that came on it. Shortly after I had ordered my grips my dad ordered a set of grips for his Ruger Redhawk. We have both come to the conclusion that neither one of us cares much for any of the Hogue products tha...

RustyJr

Any particular reason you changed to the 45colt for the chambering? Just curious.

RustyJr

RustyJr

If it were me I'd leave it be. The "used" look doesnt look too bad. Gives it a little character. And if its just going to be used as an "around the house" and "beater" shotgun I wouldn't worry about it. Heck, kinda gives it the plumb brown look that some people pay for ...

RustyJr

Seems pretty neat. How much did it cost ya?

RustyJr

RustyJr

Everything that I have seen says that the 1:12 twist is best for 55 grain and under. I had a Remington 700 SPS Tactical that had a 1:12 twist and it wouldnt shoot a bullet over 55 grains worth anything. I'd get maybe 2.5 inch groups.

RustyJr

RustyJr

There 527 Varmint model in 223 has a 1:9 twist which will stabalize up to a 70 grain bullet.

Henrys are fine firearms. Very solid. However as others have already stated they are very heavy in the larger calibers. I have shot the Big Boy in 45Colt and own a 22 magnum frontier model. If you go with the 30-30 I would get it in a old Marlin 336 or 94 Winchester. If you go with the 357 I would g...

RustyJr

Well, I'll let ya know when my Security Six grips get here.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Mine is sooo smooth its not even funny. I might actually start to carry it some now that I'm getting new grips for it. To me the rubber ones stick out too far and your shirt tends to stick to it and hang up.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Glad I could help. I bought my security six used and it came with a UGLY set of Houge rubber grips. I'll be glad to get a set of wood grips on it. Revolvers are suppose to be wood and steel.

RustyJr

RustyJr

In looking for the Security Six grips, I saw a listing that stated "for Ruger Security Six and Redhawk models". Does anyone know if the factory wood grips will interchange? My dad has a 4" model Redhawk that came with the Houge rubber grips but would like to find a set of factory wood...

RustyJr

Just thought I'd let you all know that Ruger has wood Security Six grips for sale on there website for 10.01 plus shipping. Just bought a set for mine.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I'd be up for 357 magnum cases.

I think its interesting that people will consider a 125 grain hollowpoint adequate for self defense against a 250 pound human but a 140 pound deer requires a heavier bullet. I think that either a 110 or 125 grain bullet will work on deer (obviously its already happened) but it wouldnt be my first ch...

We can sit here and play Monday morning quarterback all we want. From what I read, if i remember correctly at least two of the officers were hit in the opening volley. Meaning they were returning fire after having already been hit themselves. One of them took a richochet to the forehead which means ...

RustyJr

I'd say 1911 and M1A. The handgun would mainly be used for defensive use I'm guessing and thats what the 1911 was designed for. The M1A could serve as a rifle for social use or as a deer rifle. It would especially work well for the latter if you were to put a scope on it.

They said the 223 TAP ammo did poorly. One round pierced and collapsed a lung and the other pierced the aorta. There were two different weight bullets used in the M4. 55 grain and 72 grain. They do not indicate how many of each weight were fired into the subject. I'm guessing it might not have been ...

Will keep her in my prayers.

I carry at least one 24/7 most times two. 22Mag derringer is always there and a Glock 23 nearly always there. Even if I didnt have my rifles I would probaby still pick the Glock 23 because while not ideal I could still drop a deer at close range and in this worlds current environment I don't want to...

RustyJr

My grandfather's Remington 721 in 270Win and my other grandfather's Colt huntsman in 22LR. Those two are absolutely irreplaceable. As to my own personal guns that would be hard to replace: I've got a 4" stainless Ruger Security Six that is so smooth that someone must have done an action job on ...

RustyJr

When shooting cap and ball I'd much prefer the Colt to the Remington style. I used to own a Ruger Old Army and I've handled the Colts and me the Colt handles better and from what I understand doesn't lock up as easily from spent caps getting caught between the frame and cylinder. This happened to me...

RustyJr

Yeah we have em down in here in Florida too. Nasty critters they are. Last one I ran into was at work (middle of town). Smashed his head with a fence post. Just bought into a hunting lease. While the guy was showing us around the lease I noticed about 6 or 7 BIG rattles hanging from his rear view mi...

RustyJr

Well, in the event that the rifled musket isnt suitable for hunting, how would a .69 caliber 1816 Harpers Ferry conversion Musket do? Has anyone used a similar setup for deer or hogs? To me it seems like it would be essentially a trade gun but with a caplock instead of flint lock.

Took some pics at a Civil War reinactment over the weekend. Thought yall might enjoy them. The battle location that this was based on was the Union's raid on the town of Brookesville, Florida. Apparently this year they were reinacting the battle of Shiloh. The Gatling gun pictured was built based on...

Was looking into possibly getting a Enfield rifled musket for playing with and possibly using during muzzleloading season but am unsure of what manufacturer to go with. Navy Arms carries one that is made by Parker Hale using the original design and measurements. However, they say they are out of sto...

Have always liked the 7mm-08. Almost the same as a 270 but in a short action. You wont be disappointed. Gives you enough power for larger game as well should the opportunity arise.

Thanks for postng that. I enjoyed it.

I prefer a handgun for the ease of manipulating door knobs and light switches as well as holding my surefire in the other hand. However a pistol caliber carbine would be nice for someone who is not proficient or is uncomfortable with a handgun. If we are talking about those in current production and...

RustyJr

I say put a regular style synthetic stock on it, put a peep sight on the top and only put ONE, SMALL rail towards the front to attach a light. Add in a lever butt cuff from levergun leverworks and call it good. Load it with some of th 125 grain Federal Powershoks and we would have a real nice combin...

Ive heard of people splitting barrels in double barrel shotguns shooting slugs. I've also heard of handloads with roundballs being used in them without any issue or at least minimal issue. What causes the barrels to split with one and not the other? I'm guessing the roudballs are pure lead and tend ...

RustyJr

I put sling swivel studs on it and use a quock detach sling. Just carry it in your pocket if you don't like hunting with it on and then attach the sling if you need to drag a deer.

Looks good pitchy. JReed, have you heard of putting a weight near the head (im guessing thats what it would be called, the part where the back of the dart rests on the atlatl) to counteract the flex of the dart prior to the release? I have heard of this but dont know how often it was used. RustyJr

JerryB you read my mind. I think Mr. O'Connor would have liked that one. I know he liked that 270 alot as do I (have two of em) but he seemed to take a shine to that 257 Roberts from time to time when he was hunting the smaller species of deer in the south west. I'm also liking that 375 H&H as w...
