Last week we had a fellow bring one in to get it appraised for his insurance. I was about the same condition as yours. The two other customers (regulars, so we knew they were serious) started offering the guy $$$. The one other guy left but the original owner and the second guy struck a deal ... $28...

We just got our letter this week. Our shop's attitude isn't Kali friendly ... it got round-filed. The owner said "We don't have to do business with those #@&%$#@&%$"

I got the idea initially that you are going to store the rifles in that case all the time. If you are, be careful, some cases actually cause rust problems due to moisture being retained. If you're not going to store them there and I misunderstood ... oops, sorry.

I'm making a dovetail insert as a front post for a one-piece Weaver type base. The base will fasten to the post in the rear sight dovetail and to d&t holes in the receiver. I'm trying to keep things as low as possible for a reddot, scope, or holo. The location of the holes is also an issue for m...

How about this one from the Darwin Awards ... 3 February 1990, Washington The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree appeared to be the robber's first, due to his lack of a previous record of violence, and his terminally stupid choices: 1. His target was H&J Leather & Firearms. A g...

The Badlands are not quite a "desert" as most people picture it. I've been fortunate to travel through nost of the west and the Badlands might rank worse than a "desert" when it comes to survivability.

Joe, the case neck lubricator is a small plastic trough with several size brushes sticking up out of it. You just push the case down over the appropriate size brush into the mica then pull it back up. The brush removes the excess fron the inside. I have a little cheap one but it does help with the d...

I've used a home made "peep" sight by soldering a plate to the open sight on a TC Renegade and drilling a large hole in it for about 30 years. I also have used the "One Ragged Hole" insert on a Winchester 94. They do work far, far better for me than the open sight I can't see. If...

Each one of the "squishy" pads mentioned above will work great in reducing felt recoil. They are not as easy to "grind" as the older firmer styles but well worth the extra effort.

oldgerboy

To me it sounds that what you are calling parallex is really just the focus of the scope. Once you get it on tight like they said and it is positioned fore and aft so you get the full view through the scope without the fuzzy donut effect around the parimeter of the scope do you still see two crossha...

Fun tarkets include crackers, you know, the regular-put-in-your-soup kind. They shatter even with a BB gun. A good education is still the best preventative for a safe future with firearms.

Bruce, nice new toy, congrats.

About a month and a half ago we had one go through the shop and it had either two or three boxex of shells like that with it. You aren't near central Pennsylvania are you?

That's right FW. Pekes were bread to attack humans as royal body guards. We always had Pekes until this one. The Pekes were 6 feet tall and 500 pounds in their minds at least and were fearless. This little Shih Tsu is very friendly and people oriented as well as being shy with other animals. That's ...

Some of you might remember when I posted a pic of our new Shih Tsu. She was in a backpack and I had given her a ride with me on the Sportser. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n239/oldgerboy/Bike-back.jpg Well, she is now a fearsome, carniverous, killing machine. She spent this weekend at a campgro...

The High and Low Walls are arguably my favorite single shot cartridge rifle but the Little Sharps seemed to be just the right size overall and scaled perfectly for the .38-55. I'm not disappointed ... it is and is what I thought. I just need to get the sights to be more visable for me and solve the ...

The small shoulder/bump/protrusion parallel to the firing pin itself seems to be hitting before anything else. That's what I'm going to work on first. I think I'm going to get a couple more assemblies on general principles. They look like they might be the only thing that might cause a problem in th...

This was probably no accident but that doesn't mean it was done out of meaness either. All I can do is relate my experience. About 1988 or 89 my neighbor kid knocked on the door. He was about 13 years old at the time. He had just done that exact same thing. He was very upset ... almost crying ... an...

Flint locks can be down right as miserable as a mother-in-law ... but ... they are absolutely wonderfully adicting. I only this past fall bought a percussion after 35 years of nothing but flinters.

After we closed the shop this afternoon I stopped off at the range. Up went a three foot square piece of paper with a four inch "dot" at 50 yards. I had five loads ... four mild handloads and some factory CILs. The first order of business was to drive to a buddy's house just up the road an...

We finally found out what they used on the 94 ... regular old Duracoat from Brownells. Jake called them ... their reply ... "we had to paint the whole thing. It was only 3 thousandths of an inch thick" Jakes reply to them was nor ever will be printable ... it was not kind and the term &quo...

The 6.5-284 is a sweetheart of a cartridge ... two of my friends (brothers) have them. There is one point of caution however. The 284 case is basically of magnun diameter so the feed rails might need modified and the magazine follower might need changed.

About a month and a half ago we had a similar problem. We have two computer critters on a network set-up. One would work, then the other, then both, then none ... you get the picture. Not being able to log on to a couple of sites was part of it.

It ended up that we needed a new modem.

oldgerboy

Ya know they make those things for .44's. I have some that I've not had the time to play with.

oldgerboy

Did you consider having a simple type sight dovetailed into the frame at the rear sort of like a stock one from a 1911 auto.

You would get a better sight picture and a bit of adjustment and it would still be easy to pack along .

Ben's numbers are about what my buddy's Marlin does with factory ammo.

Another "NO" just landed.

It appears to be powder coated. They scraped a bunch of powder out of it. I'll have more on this as the week goes on.

Until I get more info, I would advise anyone to avoid that business and their process for firearms use.

oldgerboy

This NEEDS updated. The guys at the shop were putting the 94 together today and discovered ALL internal dimentions were messed up. This process is some type of coating and they apparently dipped it since the inside is coated. They can't get the parts back in ... the coating closed up all the toleran...

Mike, I don't know how well you're getting around but if you need any help with anything, I'm not that far away ... just call.

My daughter is a computer engineer and my degree is in Mathematics ... Some of them were a little close to home.

Her comment on the one ... "They could play at night"

I made up a load for my buddy that gives between 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 at 100 yards. He does have a rather gross 4 to 12 power scope on it that does give a visual edge.

The load isn't a screamer but is faster than stock.

15 grains of Blue Dot under a 225 grain Speer JHP

oldgerboy

Definitely that would make a good woods buddy. I had a birds head Vaquero with the 3 1/2 inch barrel but it was too heavy for me and it is now in a friends posession. Yours would be much nicer in the carry and balance.

Thumbs up on your new toy.

I remember an old article where an S&W .22 Jet revolver was fitted with a .357 cylinder. Then a "sleeve" was made to fit the taper of the Jet cartridge and made it look and fit the cylinder like a .357. The sleeves were re-usable and the set-back didn't occur. That had to be 30 years a...

Like Hobie said ... hunting with a family treasure is unforgetable.

I took my father's Winchester 94 and knife out for a walk one day a few years ago. Both worked just right on the doe.

It is a unique feeling.

The smaller grips fit my hand just about perfectly.

I'm not what you would call a "religous" individual but do endevor to live by the Commandments. That prayer is chucked full of a lot of truth. It is also amazing how much parallels the comments of the late Jeff Cooper.

oldgerboy

The dealer told me they used some other type finish that mimics the "blue". I can't verify that. Sixgun, I know we have covered this here before but how long would the rust blue have taken. The turn-around time was just a few days. I know my info is not rock solid but it is all I have. I w...

I was given about 350 or so bullets for the 45acp a couple years ago. The guy gave me the 45acp dies also. I simply used that die to seat those bullets in the "Long" Colt case and had no trouble in my Bissley.

oldgerboy

Sorry, but no I didn't have the camera at work. It will still be there next weekend so if I remember to take my camera I'll get some. Maybe there is a member here that is near the place or can get us more info.

oldgerboy

You're correct Pete44ru, the bolt handle does it all.

I'll keep this in mind Levers. For now I'm going to try to find another factory Hornet barrel.

Today I saw a Winchester 94 that didn't turn purple when blued. A little history ... About two months ago an individual wanted their 94 blued. The dealer the individual went to brings his repair work to the shop where I help at on weekends. The guy was warned by the dealer and by us that the action ...

About two years ago I needed a stock for a Marlin 1894. I ordered one from Gunparts. It fit great, had some grain figure, and required next to no fitting. you might be taking more of a chance with them but I had good luck.

oldgerboy

Post supper report ... yep, it wuz great ... buuurrrp!

oldgerboy

Now that's what I wanted to get started. The California guys are going to need something.

oldgerboy

The shop has done maybe four in the past year. We soldered all of them shut. If yours is just a beater as you say, close the end off with something, anything to keep the moisture out ... it will also look better even as a beater.

oldgerboy

The weight of the substitute material is a consideration. Where does tin fall on the elements chart?

oldgerboy

Pork Chops from my .357ized pig, mashed taters, and peas. It's not real creative but it sure is good.

I don't want to hijack the other thread so.... Non-Lead bullets, as has been noted, is an unfortunate part of some California lives at this time. I've read the post on making the copper bullets and I got to thinking. More than likely this was covered and I missed it but here goes. There are substitu...

hcpookie, that's the article I remember.

I have been using one similar to that one for about two years. It works out real well when I'm just wearing a Tee shirt or at a car show or other outdoors social gathering where I didn't want to have a holster on my belt.
