A buddy who is a retired CPO gave this to me. New Direction for the war on terrorists. I am over 50 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. (You can't be older than 42 to join the military.) They've got the whole thing backwards. Instead of sending 18-year-olds off to fight...

One other thing Joe ... I do wipe out the V's on the base and carefully wipe off and lube the V on the beam. My V-blocks are steel. The "lube" is something I read about somewhere 40-some years ago ... take your finger and wipe it along your nose (NO, NOT INSIDE) at the side where it contac...

There are/were ML's made exclusivly to shoot .38 cal wadcutters for target shooting. I've know several guys who took an old .22 RF barrel and converted it into a ML. To do so with any centerfire barrel is very realistic but the type of projectile would probably be limited to something similar to wha...

oldgerboy

Thanks again everyone. I'll save them and do some checking. I also re-discovered several large Martini actions and parts I had forgotten about. I already have saved info on them from down under members I received almost a year ago.

oldgerboy

You have received some great advice. The Speer bullets and 125 grain Sierras (either hand loaded or purchased in Federal cartridges) are great for PA deer. The new Limbsavers, Decelerators, etc are super for recoil elimination. I shoot a .30-30 with a Limbsaver pad and have used nothing but 125 grai...

oldgerboy

There are several derringers and small revolver/pistols out there. My only abvice is to not go overboard on caliber. There isn't much to hang on to and disperse recoil.

oldgerboy

Yep Homefront, but we can't underestimate the Philthadelphians. They are so close to NJ and have a typical Right Coast set of leaders that we gotta be careful. Afterall, they sent us Fast Eddie.

oldgerboy

I'm not real familiar with that model scale but I always remove the beam from the base of my Hornady scale when I'm not using it so anything that shouldn't become magnitized, doesn't.

Try removing the beam from the base and leave it off for a day or so and see if that helps.

oldgerboy

Thank you for the pics and parts info. I'm going to give it a good look tomorrow evening.

oldgerboy

We have a RB frame laying around the shop but it's totally empty except for the lever, I think. The other thread here showing the RB got me thinking ( :roll: ) ... Is there a source of parts for it somewhere or would it be a "find 'em where I can" deal? I also need to figure out which one ...

oldgerboy

I load for a friend who has shot several, two with my loads. I load a 225 grain Speer over 15 grains Blue Dot. The book and a little guesstimation figures about 1450 to 1500 fps. Each deer fell within 40 yards to one shot. Prior to my loads he used Winchester factory shells but I do not know what we...

oldgerboy

Is that a Savage recoil pad or an aftermarket one?

oldgerboy

That is the exact description of the one I have, even the scope. Before I cleaned it up an owner of another shop offered me 600 in cash when he layed eyes on it so I figure it is worth more.

oldgerboy

My brother's two boys makes for a third generation. My Dad and uncle both used Winchester 94's in .32 Spl. Brother's boys likewise. I have or have used .357, .30-30, .32 Spl, .22, and .38-55.

oldgerboy

WOW, that usually solves things. The American Pioneer Powder is an excellent propellant. Try the yellow Bore Butter on the threads. It does a good job on my touch holes on my flinters. Have you tried a less powerful 209 primer. The ones for .410's and "special" ones for in-lines are not as...

If your Marlin has the non-walnut hardwood stock, don't be surprised if it all but refuses to take the stain. I've had to revert to shoe polish and/or water based stains to get some color on those woods.

Heck of a chew toy he has there

This story is very similar to one from the comedian Jerry Clower.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYUrdMzbtUg

He died about 1998. I have two of his tapes left but just found out Amazon has CD's of him. Wikipedia calls him "the original blue colar comedian".

oldgerboy

Does the breech plug screw into the barrel? If so put anti-seize on the threads when re-assembling.

oldgerboy

About two years ago I fit an old 8mm Mauser barrel to my one Winny 94 ... .323 is pretty close to .321 and the twist would allow heavier bullets.

I never finished the critter because we didn't have a .32 Spl reamer ... duh!

oldgerboy

That was my brother's first and last deer rifle. Dad got it for him when he was about 11 or 12 ... he is now 56. It had taken a ton of deer and looks like he beat one to death with it but it still works perfectly.

oldgerboy

I prefer a blade up front. I have a stash of T-C Renegade front blades I use. They're pretty wide but they are about all I can see. As far as accuracy is concerned, with a peep rear, I cal get inch and a half groups at 100 yards shooting from a bench.

oldgerboy

Catalitic Converter cloged up and burned out ?

oldgerboy

I'm planning on going on a hog hunt about the end of March and am taking my .357 carbine. I plan on using 180 grain GC Beartooth hard casts along with a double hand full (

) of Lil Gun.

oldgerboy

I have friends who use the sabots and like them and some who don't. I also have friends who use the power belt bullets and like and don't like them.

Both types work well as long as your rifling twist and groove depth are not of the round ball type.

oldgerboy

The ones that Joe mentioned in another topic look pretty good. Joe, can you fill us in with some info about their hardness, velocity info you used them at, etc?

My wife and I spent the week between Christmas and New Years in Charlesto, South Carolina. I wanted to check to see if anyone here was from that area but couldn't log in to ask. We are back and I can get in here thanks to 1886 and Hobie and anyone else. We take these cold weather trips to warmer are...

oldgerboy

I finally got back to you. I'll hang on to it for you. just give me a shout if it looks like a close trip in the next couple months. Probably to send an e-mail and I'll keep an eye out here.
Merry Christmas Griff.

oldgerboy

As a side note, the 999 I have was my dad's and is at least 58 years old and will shoot groupes under an inch at 50 feet when I can see clearly.

oldgerboy

If memory serves me right, I replaced the "thingy that turns the cylinder" (the pawl) on one of them within the past year with a new one. Check the Numrich link for your part.
They can be a pain to install but they should be available.

oldgerboy

Cubrock +1. I only know one individual any more that does the 1,000 yard shooting ... knew quite a few and a gunsmith that specialized in those rifles 20 years ago. The practice, money, effort, and care that those guys put into their shots was impressive. Yes, they used surplus range finders and set...

oldgerboy

Should be there by now.

oldgerboy

Seriously though, I had promised the lead to Griff but was unable to meet him when he got near central PA a number of months ago. I just want to make sure he still wants it. He has first dibs. It's about 150 or 160 pounds of pure.

oldgerboy

I'll tell ya there Homefront, that's one of the wonderful things here ... good friends that are willing to help a guy out and take those nasty old lever guns and bullets and lead off a guys hands just to help out a friend.
It makes a guy all cloudy eyed and sniffly.

oldgerboy

I'm with Hobbie. The .30 Herret I had was a doozie (as my neighbor would say) of a little cartridge. However, it was a shortened .30-30 with less case capacity and less potential. The plusses were that no one else had one so everyone wanted to see it and it occupied a fair amount of rainy day time s...

oldgerboy

Howdy Griff, Any chance you might be getting a load to or through PA. I'm still holding on to that lead for you if you can still use it.

oldgerboy

I'm with Rusty. I feel a pad, even a thin one is better for regular use. You could also try a slip-on of some type. As for a demention ... check the Marlin web sight.

oldgerboy

Try running a case through the sizer die without the expander. Then measure what you have. That can give you a clue as to what might be needed.

oldgerboy

My first rifle was a 340C and, except for the trigge, it was great. Wish I still had it. We get them at the shop fairly regularly.

I also havetwo of the 219's. The one has accounted for quite a few deer over the years. The description given was right on the money.

oldgerboy

The wife and I were there and in that shop last Christmas. There was a beautiful .32-20 Marlin there then. Unfortunately it had to stay when we left.
You're right about what they have. It is a great toy store.

oldgerboy

There were a number of slip-on cover/slings that members make. They'll have to post pics here now but they would solve your problen without drilling. Start a new topic and get the info from them.

El Mac ... I sort of feel that would give him too much recognition, but, since he loves his Muslim religion, sentence him with that in mind. His hand tried to light the match ... remove the offending appendage. His foot harbored the bomb ... remove the offending appendage. His brain shelters the bel...

The name's Gerald or Gerry. The handle goes back to my muzzleloader targeting days. I was either older or younger than any one else so some called me Old Ger and some Ger Boy. I've aged a bit since then but Old Ger was taken when I signed up so I just combined the two.

oldgerboy

Thanks Joe. I thought it was him but with the forum down I couldn't get his e-mail addy.

Do you want to know the real embarassment ... I have him in my favorites ...

A buddy and I took a look-and-see trip to Clearfield, PA. We visited Grice's Gun Shop and then went to Bob's Army and Navy Store. We should have stayed away from Bob's ... there, in a case, was a Birdshead Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt ... and I bought it. After getting rid of my Bissley last spring, I ...

I live in PA and always have to remind myself in times like these that Philadelphia is only close to New Jersey ... not in it. I'm only guessing that most of these sponsors are from there. Legislators like them are a part of the reason I remain a registered democrat ... I can let them know how disap...

oldgerboy

Add a full length magazine, a full octagon barrel, and set triggers and reduce the percent by about 10 and you would have what we had in the shop about six weeks ago. They wouldn't let me around it without a towel stuffed in my mouth to soak up the slobbers
