Re: I gave the grandkids a Crickett .22 - PICS

That the best thing we can do for our kids is to show them the fun and right way to own a weapon. By doing this you will not have to read about them finding ammo and being afraid. Great job Grandpa you are keeping the ways passed on to them I salute you.

Re: J Stevens 32 long rimfire

I don't think the long colt will fit in the chamber. I tried 32 long colt and the case was a couple of hundreds out. But my weapon has not been fired a lot the action is super tight so that may be why it would not fit.

Re: Hello! And a problem.

If you are firing reloads has the brass been resize to the right size? Or has the barrel been removed or replaced?

Re: I have scoped my leveraction!

My eye doctor told me that when looking threw a small hold the focus of the eye improves. Maybe this is what you have noticed.

Re: New Black Powder smoothbore Fowler

Now that weapon is a thing of beauty as long as you keep your powder dry. Is there much delay when firing it?

Re: Pictures of J Stevens 32 long rimfire model 1915

I have decided to keep it as it was. Will make reloads that I found out about and just let it grow old for my grandkid's. I never like to mess with perfection. The research I have said they made about a million copies so I have a one in a million. Yes I'm sure it would be a nice weapon in 22 caliber...

Re: Civil War Knuckle Duster

I like the weapon. Can you get a mainspring made to make it more reliable when shooting? The old weapon have style and class that you don't see anymore. One shot, one kill is all you need. I like to waste bullets too, but nothing beats that one perfectly placed shot to take out the target. Today kid...

Re: Shooting The New Colt 901 In .308

Sea containers make great camps and when your a sleep inside stray bullets have a hard time getting you. Here in Florida the camps can get wild at night with weapons fire. So I always sand bag my position when camping.

J Stevens 32 long rimfire

Well to day I got a weapon that I know is probably going to be a wall hanger. But it never hurts to ask where one may get some ammo for this beauty. I know that 32 long rim fire is not made anymore but so are Ford Model A cars to but if you find one in good condition you buy it. So yes I have search...
