Hey there AJMD - This has been happening to me for over a two months now. Are you a Wildblue user? Even when I can get something posted, I usually can never see the pictures with that post again. Hopefully they can sort it out. Best regards, Wind

Well guys, I have nothing but good things to say about the Great Pyrenees breed. My guy has unbelievable senses. He can spot or hear a coyote beyond a mile easily. Usually beyond where I can pick them up with serious binoculars. I am actually trying to curb his inbred instincts. When we play, he wil...

Hey there cnjarvis - Check out www.foxlabs.com. They build some pretty good stuff. They even sell an inert practice container (they come in multiple sizes) to get the feel of how the real one discharges and what the spray/stream pattern is. Fairly reasonable in price. I carry it, but have at least a...

Hey there TedH - From the way I read your post, it's not a dominant eye situation, but the ability to hold the left one closed with the right eye open. Let me preface this by saying that I can't shoot anything with both eyes open, therefore I can't teach effectively how to do it. I was getting some ...

Hey there Haterock2 - The half cock on the Sharps takes the pressure off the firing pin which passes through the breech block. If you work the breech block up and down with hammer pressure on the firing pin, the pin protrudes through the front face of the breech block and can be "guillotined&qu...

Hey there O.S.O.K. - Looks good. There seems to be one common trait among members of this forum. If they have a workbench, it is knee deep in miscellaneous junk. Mine included. Makes me smile... Nice job. Wind

Hey there two bit okie - I think Marlin sells a lower grade hardwood stock (usually a dark stained Birch or Maple) through some chain stores (Big 5 out west here comes to mind). These usually sell for $100 less than the rifles with Walnut stocks. The metal is all the same between the two grades of r...

Hey there two bit okie - Here is a sketch of what chuck was describing. Clamp your lower point under the point of the drill bit with the lower point mounted in something you can clamp to your drill press table. There is a drill bit called a Vix-bit that has a center turning bit in a fixed outer slee...

Hey there everybody - Congratulations are in order as Whit shot his best score ever!! 28 of those critters with his Marlin short rifle in 45 Colt. It truly does make those chickens dance!! Thanks for the pix Whit. I can see I need to start laying off the Twinkies. Best regards to all, Wind.

Hey there donw - Was this a Norinco 1897 "trenchgun" reproduction? Best regards Wind.

Hey there two bit okie - Take a gander at this thread. Plenty of good advice. Good luck if you get to whittling. Wind

Hey there Gary - The thing about using steel wool is that as you rub things with it, little microscopic pieces break off and get left on/in the surface. The moisture in the atmosphere, sweat off your hand etc. will cause them to begin to rust down the road. I have seen gun stocks speckled with rust ...

SmokeEater2 - www.purdygear.com -- She does the leather for my shooting sticks also. Cool website and she does awesome work. You'll prolly be at the end of a long line if you order stuff, but well worth the wait. Get a couple jelly doughnuts and kick back!! Hope this helps. Wind

Got the new cartridge box for 32-40 and 30-30. The 45-70 one should be here soon. I turned and installed the button. With the stiff new leather, may have gotten it a little long. Will try it on the 45-70 box and prolly turn a shorter one for this box when they are both in front of me. Best regards. ...

Hey there jnyork - I too am a big fan of the Sony SW7600G radio. It has a ton of receiving options, as well as a directional antenna and even comes with a spooled antenna that I find incredibly handy when I need to enhance reception. It is outside power source capable with the correct adapter. I've ...

Hey guys, here is a bit of an update: Jason_W -- I was starting to feel like the Lone Ranger. Don't have an answer or cure yet. It will prolly come from someone more computer savvy than me anyway. Hope it's soon. Don McDowell -- Thanks for the input. My machine is pretty new and we've gone through s...

Hey there Jumbeaux - By now it's an undeniable fact that I'm a hardcore tang sight kinda guy. A sanitary drilling and tapping of your tang is socially acceptable and you will be amazed at how well you can see and shoot with those sights. Marbles has a windage adjustment as well as height. One mounti...

T B Good - Here is a link. www.custersportsmensclub.com. If you get up that way get off Interstate 5 at exit #270. Turn right off the exit ramp and go about a quarter mile. You'll see it on the left. It's a pretty substantial complex. Hope this helps. Wind

Hey there awp101 - I'm a Mauser 98 fan. They can be loaded individually. One of mine is a .257 Ackley Improved. Jaeger barrel. Shoots under one minute of angle at 300 yards. Your front sight may or may not be European. Here is a similar Lyman. They were made to slip over the end of a barrel often se...

Hey there Kansas Ed - While you're waiting to find a reamer, try this. Get a brass bore bristle brush. Prolly start with a .25 caliber and then go to a .22 caliber. By doing this you'll wreck both of them. Get some BRONZE wool (from you local paint store) and pull a bunch of strands free and wrap th...

Does anyone use Wildblue as their Internet Service Provider? I have been having some problems logging on, or staying logged on to the forum lately. Has anyone else been having problems?? Thanks Wind.

Hey again 71fan - That is the top half of page 189 in the Handbook of Cast Bullets, by the Lyman Gun sight Corporation, copyrighted in 1958. Hope this helps. Wind

Hey there retmech - Right out of the box most ’73 actions (toggle link) are far smoother than BOTH Marlins and Winchesters. All three rifle types can and are modified with “short stroke” kits. There is even an outfit making a coil main spring for the ’73. I can shoot my Marlin far faster than I can ...

Oh Lord have mercy on me Whit. What have I done? Next week you'll be leaning over the counter at Shiloh Rifle pleading for a 1200 yard capable rifle and sights, mouth quivering and moist, needy eyes. I'm so sorry. Can you ever forgive me? Or better yet, come on over and we'll whack some steel here!!...

Hey there T B Good - If you go the rented trailer route, be sure you inspect the license plates and tabs and see they are not expired. Also have a spare tire that fits the trailer. I had a friend that got stopped in the middle of nowhere by a state patrolman. He had to unhitch the trailer and leave ...

Hey there Ysabel Kid - Here is one I designed and built. I'd be happy to get you some details if you'd be interested in building one for yourself. I could prolly get one out in kit form and it would make shipping somewhat less painful. Best regards. Wind

Hey there HEAD0001 - You can't go too far wrong with either!! Might depend on which rifle shows up first and is available. You could complicate the decision even further by throwing the .218 BEE in the pot!! Just a note - my 25-20 won't shoot a lead bullet for squat, but loves the Speer 75 grain Hot...

Hey there m. wun - The range is just above town. Cross the bridge on 4th street, just about the center of town (4 block long main street). Turn left for a few blocks and then up the hill a half mile or so on North Pine Creek Road. Heck, come on up and reminisce, shoot some silhouette, but I'd recomm...

Hey all - Al was shooting a raggedy ol' Winchester 1892 in 25-20 caliber. He missed ONE chicken and ONE ram for a score of 38/40. I was between a rock and a hard place. I had some killer new loads for my 100 year old Winchester 1892 in 25-20 AND a sweet shootin' Marlin 39A I'd never competed with. W...

Hey Whit - Yes indeed, a man with talent. GREAT spotter AND designer/carpenter. The shack is really coming along!! I'll work on a cooler day for the August shoot. The Omak Stampede is that weekend too. I've been thinking about a shooting extravaganza here also. I'll let you know as things develop. W...

Hey there Whit - It was good to see ya last weekend. You definitely elevated yourself up and out of the "vegetarian class". Nice shooting!! Did wish we could have gotten together up here and incinerated something on the BBQ. The pizza was great as always and we can try again the next time ...

RANisbet is a member of this forum. Might find him under the member section. I don't recall specifics but he is either selling sight specifications, drawings, sight parts, or complete sights. This is the way he spells his name by the way. Good luck. Wind

Hey there eagles - Try contacting "RANisbet" and see what he has to say. I believe he is the one involved with the Model 71 bolt peep sight. Hope this helps. Wind

Well boys and girls, here is a report on the terminal ballistics of .22 Magnum shot shells. A few qualifying remarks are in order.

Hey there mescalero1 - The distances for Cowboy Lever Action Rifle caliber are 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards or meters.

Hey there again HEAD0001 - I would caution against doing any scratching on you sight. Different ammunition will have different sight positions. Even for the same rifle. Some sights interchange on different rifles using the appropriate sight base to that rifle and the same staff/vernier. Make up a bo...

I don't know 'bout the bait thing, but I do know getting a spread of decoys up a mountain side can be exhausting. Wind

Hey there HEAD0001 - If it's a Marbles tang sight, there is really nothing to see. By counting the "clicks" as you extend the staff, that sight is capable of very good mid-range accuracy. With a short front sight and a 24" barrel you should easily reach 300 yards. If you get into mid-...

Hey there again Idiot - Nope. It does have a pretty good set of iron sights. I just walked back from my 50 yard line 25 yards, put it on my shoulder, held a six o'clock hold and launched three rounds. I will be very curious to see how your figures pan out after you get to where you can shoot some di...

Hey there TedH - Where is it binding? Is the front of the trigger guard snug up against the stitching. If that's the case it prolly won't stretch to fit. If there is still room for the gun to get deeper in the holster, you might get lucky soaking and stretching it. Try wrapping the gun in multiple l...

Hey there Idiot - Maybe this will help alittle bit. Grabbed up one of my 30-30's, adjusted the sights for 100 yards, and shot a three round group at 25 yards. Point of impact was four inches above point of aim. These were just reloads, but factory should be in the neighborhood me thinks. A zero wind...

Hey ya'll - A Marlin 1893 (built in 1896) 32-40 had showed up on my doorstep about six weeks ago. A sweet, unmolested rifle bearing it’s age with distinction.

Hey all - Shot against a guy shooting a 50-140 last weekend. He bought a set of my shooting sticks and asked if I could make a pivot pin out of one of his empties. For those of you that haven't rubbed up against a cartridge of this caliber, I thought I'd post a picture of one before I cut it up. It'...

Hey there Cosmoline - I like post style front sights too. This is a sight I took off a Japanese Browning '86 carbine. It looks and works slick on my 1909 Winchester '92.
