Thanks for the feedback. It was pretty much as expected. I have only heard god stuff about FA. And the ones I shot were fantastic.

I want one for a hunting model out to 100 or 125 yards.

Are the Express sights viable to that distance?? Or should I get the silh. model?? Tom.

Whose has Freedom Arms revolver in 454?? Tell me what you think about the revolver, please. I have always wanted one, but never bought one. I am thinking it may be time. How do you guys like the sights?? I have shot a few(manhy years ago). And I really liked the sights on the Sil. model, but that mo...

I hope that Walnut comes out nice for you. It really is a great wood to work with. Alot of saw mills around here do not like to cut walnut either. In my area it is mostly found in old fence rows. Because of its natural secreations it kept the old fence lines clearer of brush. And since it is very re...

I used one in the past. And it took alot of elbow grease to operate.I would hate to think I had to use one to build a complete cabin. We use ours in the woods to cut locust posts and such, where hauling the posts out is alot of work. But I can hand split with wedges a locust post faster than using t...

Bolt action: One in the magazine. Normally leave the chamber empty during transfer. At my hunting spot I will load one in chamber. Normally no additional in magazine. Lever action: I load two shells. One in magazine and one in chamber. Most of my hunting is done with single shot rifles. Small game h...

I wonder who is making it?? And I wonder where it is being made?? I think one of them is for the 204 Ruger shooters so they can get the "Holy Grail" velocity of 4,000 fps. Tom.

Black Widow makes a very fine bow. I bought mine at 55# at 28" which was a mistake since I draw 32". So I learned a valuable lesson. But it was not the bows fault. I shot that bow very well, but the poundage was just too much. Always wanted to replace it with a lower poundage bow, but neve...

I am not discounting Empire rifles. But I do own, and have owned a few custom rifles. And I have an idea of what it costs to get things done. And no doubt custom work is expensive. I was only saying that I do not think there is $7,000 worth of custom work there. I read what they did to the old actio...

I would not be afraid to hunt with it. But I can not see $6,000+ there. Heck I do not see $3,000 there?? What am I missing?? Tom.

HEAD0001

Great Pictures!! What do they call those ball like spirals on the tops of those buildings?? Tom

HEAD0001

IMO that rifle should be a crown jewel in your family. Personally I would take it to an expert and have it completely restored to as close to original as possible. Then hunt the heck out of it. It sounds like the rifle has real history for you, so for me it would not matter what the cost was. Good l...

Don't forget about McClintock!! I really liked the old indian chief. Tom.

Seems like there is no respect for anything any more. JW is the Rooster. It is that simple, just leave it alone. Next they will be remaking Sands of Iwo-Jima. That will be a sad day. I honestly can not say I have a favorite JW movie. So many were so good. Never be another one like him. Close?? Maybe...

I have read alot of good things about those rifles. When they first came out I was against them, but I really had no good reason to be against them. I am actually starting to warm up to them. I have a Knight LRH that I rally like, and it is also extremely accurate. However I just do not know how I f...

HEAD0001

If I were you I would consider shooting a heavier projectile at a slower velocity. A 405 at 1300-1500 fps will knock the snot out of them. I own a Contender Carbine. And a faster load in that short barrel will be extremely snappy, the muzzle flip will be worse than the recoil. If you are using a sco...

Williams makes an adequate sight. I put a Marbles "sourdough", on the front. I think it's .560" tall. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c385/bnw439/match001.jpg If you don't mind. Tell us about that blue ribbon. One like that would look good on mine also. But I would probably have to...

I am glad he didn't get ya. I would have cooked him. I think they taste just like alligator tail. Which IMO tastes like stringy chicken. I do like that bacon grease idea!! Tom.

HEAD0001

What alloy are you using for the 218 Bee at the higher velocity?? That looks like it should work great for a raccoon rifle. I would like to have a Bee or 25-20 or even a 32-20 in the Marlin for a raccoon rifle. It looks like your load would be a great pelt load?? Any thoughts on a slightly slower lo...

I sold three sets of Ivory grips for Colt's about 5 years ago. Two sets were for the 1911, and one set was for the Single Action Army. I sold all three to a dealer friend(who made money on them) for $1200. However they were were valuable than the ones you have there because they had the Rampant Colt...

J. Miller got me straightened out on my 45 Colt loads. So listen closely to what he says. Tom.

Good description by 86er. I got a buddy who can do deer in the woods the same way. It takes him no time at all. But he has been doing it a long long time. He also bones out the quarters right there in the woods. All we carry out is the meat. Almost got in trouble one time because the game warden cou...

No doubt the 44 Special is a decent cartridge. However I would go with the 45 Colt over the 44 Special. Basically because the 45 Colt can and will do everything the Special does, but with a larger diameter bullet. So for a hunting round I would prefer the 45 Colt bullet. The 45 Colt can be put in al...

Midway has the brass. Tom.

I have run across a Marlin 308 MX. However I know very little about the rifles. Any information would be helpful. The price on the brass seems a little high, but not totally out of whack. Thanks, Tom.

I have one of the Winchester's, not the Browning. I put the 66 on mine, and went with a higher front sight. I did not have any problem changing the front sight. But I did use a sight tool to remove it. I have one if you would like to borrow it. I would be glad to send it to you to use. If you need t...

Get ahold of the fellow at Cain's MZ supply in WV. He makes custom range rods. They are not very expensive, and do a great job. He will cut them to length also if you want. They are good people to deal with. Tom.

I finally made it out to the front porch to shoot my new(to me) 36 caliber Southern Mountain Rifle that I bought used a couple of weeks ago. I picked up all my accessories, including a new range rod so I was ready to go. I did not know for sure what load to start with, so I started with 30 grains of...

I have bought two different items from him. All I can say is he did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, and the price was exactly what he said it would be. How much more could you ask for?? And he was a pleasant and prompt guy to E-Mail and talk to. Tom.

HEAD0001

You might put out a couple of feelers. You might be able to get someone to trade you for a more current copy of the Colt Single Action Army in 45 Colt. Then you would get a new revolver, in the brand, and possibly cartridge you want. You may have to give a little cash to get someone to trade. But no...

Stick around Mauser. You will find a lot of friendy, and very knowledgable guys on this forum. You have already met a few of those guys. Tom.

HEAD0001

Bullet seating depth depends on the rifle you have, and the goals of your reload. Do you plan on using the rifle as a repeater?? Or as a single shot?? Is it a lever action?? Bolt?? Pump?? Single shot?? All these factor into COAL. The magazine normally limits the length of the cartridge. So if you wa...

I have one coming to me right now. However I do sincerely wish that I would have never received the rifle. It belonged to my favorite uncle. He was my buddy all my life. The two of us spent alot of time in the woods and on the lakes fishing(all my life). He always promised me that he would leave me ...

It sounds like you got it down. No doubt about that. But you think your time is worth zero?? And most people do not have access to certain items for free. I do realize what you are saying. and I cast my own bullets. And I really do like that savings. But to be honest the real reaon I do it is becaus...

Personally I enjoy reloading. With a cold Pepsi I can sit down at the reloading bench for hours. I just like it. But personally I do not believe you can reload for a CF cheaper than you can shoot a 22 Magnum. Maybe if you cast your own bullets(which I do). But definitely not if you are buying jacket...

I remember in the old movies seeing the bunk beds, and in the old Three Stooges movies you saw alot of fold away beds. Why?? Because they did not waste space or money back then. We have become a society with so much money that utility or saving money is not needed. There is no reason other than vani...

I have been in the market for a new range spotter for a couple of years. I have been currently using a straight 25X Leupold Gold Ring, but was wanting to upgrade. I wanted to buy a Swaro. or Zeiss, but I just did not pull the trigger. This spotter is going to be range usage mostly(but maybe not). So...

The Burris and Leupold two piece bases are the best. Just make sure you put them in the right position. The height on them is different. Be careful on the price on those new Hi-Walls. Some of them are pretty high. I have looked at some of the newer Carbine length rifles. They are pretty nice, but I ...

I know where a guy is listing a Winchester 9422M. The rifle is in excellent shape. And he is a stand up guy to deal with. However he wants $650 for the rifle. Which I think is about $100 too high. But if you are interested then let me know. And I will get you a link. Tom.

I have owned three of the Ruger lever action rifles. I guess I was a glutton for punishment. I really like their magazine. But that was where the love affair ended. the performance of all three was bad(at best). They were terrible shooters(all three). So I got rid of all three of them. I also agree ...

I would go with a straight 16X or 17X scope. For a few reasons. #1: 16X or 17X is about as high as you can go when there is any mirage. And even if it is a cool day you will get mirage off that barrel. #2: A fixed power scope is substantially stronger, with a lot lower price. So you get a stronger s...
