Hey there Nate C. -- I sent you an e-mail about these. Best regards. Wind

Hey there Nate C. -- I build a bunch of these. They run about $60 unfinished. They fold up for transport and can come in many flavors. In your case there will prolly be some shipping too. Best regards. Wind

Hey there Griff -- That was quite an event! Whit and I have been working out some loads on two very new rifles to us. As well as sorting out loads, I have been getting Whit totally addicted to long range shooting. He is laying awake nights trying to decide on sights and things. The really good thing...

Hey there JC -- Great information and super good pictures. I am a died in the wool Montana Vintage Arms sight guy. Most of my long range rifles have blade front sights as opposed to globes. I like them that way and seem to shoot better with an open front sight. There are a few exceptions. This game ...

Hey there AJ -- I would think the 375 Winchester would play well. I don't have any personal experience with one, but they are very similar to the 38-55. The key is having enough rear sight. It is a blast, that's for sure. And Griff -- Geez... We have enough trouble seeing the target without having o...

Hey there again jchiggins -- Do you still have that Marlin 1895CB? If so, I would be interested in talking to you about it. Best regards. Wind

Hey there jchiggins -- Nice rifles! There is a High Wall lurking, but I just haven't come up with the right combination of trade goods yet! OS -- When the sun is out, so is most of everything on the girls. I sure we couldn't get it by Hobie and Ambracol - being this is a family forum and all! Griff ...

Hey there abcollector -- I'm a huge fan of suspenders. I make my own suspender buttons that I can add or remove. Grommet the waist band and you can go either way, with or without a belt. I take them out before putting them in the washing machine so you don't hear them clunking around while in the dr...

Hey there Mike D. -- That sweet little rifle has been back and forth across the country twice now in that box. I make boxes to ship firearms in and they generally run from $35 to $50. Costs about $10 to $15 to mail them empty to their new owners. Haven't damaged a gun yet using them!! You'll like th...

Hey ya'll -- Thanks for the kind words... Griff -- I know just what you mean!! Dewight -- I build and market them under the name Okanogan Shooting Sticks . Shoot me an e-mail address and I can send you a brochure. We are going to put them on the "lady that does the leather" website which s...

Hey there Joe -- Sent you a picture via e-mail. If you ever get out this way you would be welcome. Give me some notice and I'll get some ammunition together for you!! I'd say yes, you could get 600 yards with your 45 Colt. I can get 400 yards with my 32-20 and 25-20, both with Marbles tang sights. I...

Wind

Hey there ya’ll -- Factory sights are very adequate for ranges between 50 and 200 yards. Unfortunately I think I was born with an extra LR gene. But this isn’t about birth defects. It’s about longer ranges. One of the issues with lever guns is the relationship between bolt length and top tang length...

Hey there AJ -- I've messed with them some. Here are a few pictures and some information. Hope it helps. Best regards. Wind

Hey there Bob -- RCBS made a "Jr." also. It was my second press after my Belding & Mull inline. Best regards. Wind

Hey there Pops -- Sweet rifle and nice shooting!! Have you had a chance to take your 32-40 for a walk yet? Best regards. Wind

Hey there Malamute -- This stuff works. Protect your eyes and skin. Best regards. Wind

Hobie -- Day 2 and still going strong!! We just might have got it! It would be cool if Doc AJ is showing improvement too. YK -- Thanks for the kind words. I've been trying to get rid of stuff but guns just seem to follow me home. Can't figure it out (but not really trying to hard, either!). WECSOGER...

kimwcook -- Yep, doing OK. Working on the homefront and sorting out a few new rifles. Sure would be good if you could get up for some silhouette soon. Weather is getting good. Hey Doc - Forum member wecsoger has been looking into my issues, which sound identical to your issues, for some time now. I ...

Wind

Hobie - Been on and off several times today and everything has worked fine. I'm starting to think we may have cured the issues. Thanks. Best regards. Wind

HHooobbbbieeeeee -- I think it's working. Both replies went without a hitch. Usually took 25 tries at least. All the pictures came up. I think I'm liking it!! Thanks. Best regards. Wind

Hey there Doc -- Such a deal I have for you!! Send me a blank check and I'll get one in the mail soon!! Best regards. Wind

Hobie -- The first try seems to be working. I'll try it a few more times over the course of the day and see how it plays. Thanks. Wind

Hey there ya'll -- I've had some issues between my ISP (Wildblue) and the forum. Hobie as done some tweaking and this is just a test. Best regards. Wind

Wind

Hey there Joe -- Those holes are plugged with hex drive socket set screws. Next to impossible to slip and scratch the side of the receiver with them. They keep the threads clean. It's just the light and angle that makes them so apparent. Mostly you don't know they're there. Best regards. Wind

Wind

Hey there Joe -- Here are four rifles with Marbles tang sights. I have fairly large hands. That position is not recommended for anything with a serious amount of recoil. Your mileage may vary. Hope this helps. Best regards. Wind

Hey there williamranks -- I have. I ordered a forend cap for a Winchester '92 and they sent the wrong one and now won't return my phone calls. I even spoke with the "parts girls" mother and still can't get a response. I've written them off my Christmas list. Good luck. Best regards. Wind

Hey there NZ -- The tacks will probably just pull right out. The previous owner was probably a Cowboy Action shooter, you see a lot of tacks and beads in that crowd. Heck, I did it in self defense as people were always picking up my rifle off the rack. I used somewhat fewer and a smaller diameter ta...

Hey there Canuck Bob -- I’m a big fan of iron sights, especially tang sights. Here is a series of targets shot with my 114 year old 1893 Marlin in 32-40. It has the original factory barrel mounted rear leaf sight. The first target is three rounds at 200 yards. Like what I saw and shot the next seven...

Hey there C.T. -- I am not a fan of ladder sights as I have never seen one that offered good repeatability, period. With a bolt gun of that caliber I'd be looking for a long staff Lyman. This one on my Springfield is good for 1200 yards, easy. Might need to get the receiver drilled and tapped, and m...

Hey there Shyster! -- The sound is similar, but when you're in snake country, that sound definitely will catch your attention.

Hey there olyinaz -- I can't see your base pin from the angle of your picture. If you were to shorten the part closest to the ejector rod button, and nip off a coil or two from the ejector rod spring, it would allow for a longer throw on the ejector rod. This then might fully extract a fired case el...

Hey there L_Kilkenny -- Here is a test target shot at 400 yards. The point of aim for the 30-30 is the left hand edge on the same elevation as the X ring.
