I just emailed the powder company about the blue dot and was told that because of a different method of pressure testing combined with recent primer mixture changes, 41Mag is still considered a bad idea with Blue Dot.

otteray

Interesting about Blue Dot and low pressure. I've got a full 4 lbs sitting unused since Hogdon gave it the heave-ho in the 41 mag. Is there any published data with it for 38 WCF?
I still haven't found anything to beat 6.5 gr Unique, though, for accuracy in the old Marlin 1889.

When my Father-in-law passed away in the 80s, while cleaning out his closet there were two long guns discovered way back in the corner. A 1952 Win Model 70 and a 16 ga. Rem 11-48 from the same era, both unused. Mother-in-law said to just get them out of the house immediately! I had no problem doing ...

I sometimes load a sized 0 buckshot to .310 and then dip in some liquid alox lube. Cheap plinking fun! http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f179/otteray/32%20Colt/1892Marlin001.jpg Bernie at Old West Bullet Moulds in Colorado made me a 90 gr heel base mould that I also like to use. http://i47.photobuck...

Well, look what the cat dragged in!

Welcome back!

It's mighty tough when a mom leaves us for good. Sorry for your loss, Tycer.

otteray

Yep, that sure is it!
Interesting it's 5 bucks on Gunbroker's Numrich offering; yet it's $53 on Numrich site. Maybe I'll use it for a yard decoration on the fence out by the BBQ, next to the lucky horseshoe or something.

Perry, I'll take some more pics tomorrow.
I knew you guys at Paco's Leverguns would enjoy a mystery.

otteray

He was born in and lived in the house cross the street, here in Santa Cruz, CA since 1950 or so, but he spent a lot of time in Alaskan wilderness, photographing.

otteray

It was in my late neighbor's box of gun stuff his son brought over when he passed away, some years ago.
Curiosity has gotten the best of me. Can anyone identify it? No numbers or stamps anywhere on it.

Too bad they only have the 4 round mag. At least I have a bunch of those. Kinda expensive to replace, last time I checked.

otteray

Baja style Grilled Nathen's or Hebrew Nat'l 97% Fat Free, bacon wrapped, cheese with mayo and hot sauce, tomato, onions. Yeah, I know, but I'm on a diet.
I like steamed red hots served with my tangy, deeelicious, homemade sauerkraut on top.

otteray

A sized round ball (top lubed after seating with your thumb) over a little bit of Bullseye powder in the short cartridge, sure is fun for easily made plinkers.

Y'all don't have any lawyers out there that will sue the state :?: :?: :?: Yea we have em, but there's no money for them to win so they are not interested. Honestly, CA is a great place to live, but some of the laws are unbelievably moronic. The cable lock is a perfect example. There are a LOT of o...

Can't remember if I already mentioned (some time ago) how my daughter got me all liquored up on her 30-somethingish birthday and somehow, somehow I gave her my S&W 29 with the 8 3/8" barrel in a nice wood presentation box. She still lets me shoot it when I visit the family in Grants Pass, O...

Wow, that is really messed up!
I'm glad you are still around to give us good levergun shootin' advice, Old Savage.
Get well and God bless.

The reason the world is running out of lead is because I got it all. :lol: :lol: :lol: I have it stored it nice shiny brass cases. :lol: :lol: :lol: Me too!

MY ORIGINAL " MOUNTAIN REVOLVER " WOULD DO ME JUST FINE. I think so, too. I had a 8 3/8 S&W M29-2 that my daughter talked me out of on her 36th birthday after I had a couple fine Bourbon drinks that she had mixed, especially for me.... I carry the 4" Mountain Gun when I'm up at m...

+1
Accurate #9 with .41 mag.
One of my favs for this caliber, FWIW.

otteray

Nice setup. I had to remove my scope and use a peep sight, because it migrated rearward with heavy loads.
What's your solution?

otteray

Hallelujah, that was great fun to watch!

otteray

My Glenfield Model 70 with some Tech sights and a upper handguard from a Marlin 99M1 was a fun, easy adaptation.

otteray

Actually, most of my loads for the old BP cartridges are done with 2400 now. Darn, this may create another low pressure thread, altogether! I refer to the powder pressure stickied topic where you kinda weren't too thrilled with 2400, I thought. I'm not trying to dispute, or to go OT, as I respect y...

otteray

Mine, an octagon barreled from the 1920s, has an action as smooth as butter with accuracy to match using the original tang peep sight. A wonderful lever action!
I am "limited" to standard velocity because of the old bolt style.
I can't speak as to the later 39A models since I don't have one.

Hobie is right on. When my dad died, a few firearms were missing, but I had recent photos of a few rifles on a wall, one of which was missing; a .444 Marlin. I called Dad's neighbors and said, "Gee, I don't know where it's at; so the Sheriff may be asking everyone around here just as a routine ...

Does that say $8.50 on the box?

I hope he okay. Anyone know what's up?

otteray

Did anyone check to see if he (or they

) are trapped and waiting for help in the deserted backup forum, kinda like marlinman93 was a couple of years back?

Excellent advice. I have neglected my magazine tubes far too long. Thanks for the reminder!

In Kona, Hawaii,several years back; A buddy here in California told me that if I hooked up with his bro's fishing boat on the Big Island, it would only cost me a twelve pack. I showed up with Schaffer's Beer. The boat left me behind.... "Haole brudda- you come back tomorrow an' bring some da ki...

Be gone.
Let's move on.

I didn't see anything at their site, Hobie. But thanks anyways.
Maybe, it's in their downloadable catalog. I'll give that a shot.

otteray

Anyone know where I can find one? and the retaining screw, too?
Why did I ever even take it off!

otteray

Yep, I loaned mine out for one shot.
Now its got 3 metal rods and a chop stick.

That's why you just should just spit on yer hand before shaking it with someone, for pete sake.
You'll sort out the germ carriers thata way and won't catch nothin' from nobody, nohow, guaranteed!

Back in the '50s when I was a youngster and all the kids had coon skin hats, fringed leather jackets and plastic toy rifles and my family attended the Beverly Hills Community Presbyterian Church; I was thrilled when Buddy Ebsen brought Fess Parker to church one Sunday.

Three ring binder "hole re-enforcement rings" work great painted w/ a black marker pen.

They should cut the state in half just north of the Golden gate and give the southern half to the Governator and call the northern part something else. http://static1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/czlsTyU-9TdIug50PbMRIg/l http://www.jeffersonstate.com/images/3x5flag.jpg http://img.search.com/thumb/a/a6/Sta...

John, you write so well.
The information that you shared was great!

otteray

You bet I do, Hobie! From CMP and lots of Greek HXP Ammo, too. Our local range has Garand matches now and then. Loads of fun. When I went to get one at the big Reno show a few years back when CMP last made it out this far west for a show with a boatload of Garands and 1903s; I could not believe it. ...

My Brother had a Marlin in 41 when they first came out. It had all sorts of issues. IIRC, Marlin used a 44 mag. carrier and this caused the jamming issue big time. He had to use JB weld and build-up the carrier to get the piece to feed properly. He finally got tired of the non-function piece and tr...

Certainly a different part of our great country. I catch macks on Lake Tahoe by mooching with live crawdads in the summertime.
Are whiskey or rum hot toddies required when fishing from inside an ice box? Brrrrr.
All kidding aside, nice catch! I gotta try that someday.
