Well, I have watched this movie/mini series numerous times and someone on here recommended I read the book. Just finished it. Excellent, enjoyed every page. No wonder it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Highly recommend it. If you only read one western novel in your lifetime, make sure it's Lones...

aussie

Just finished watching this great western. Never gets old. I just ordered the book, I suppose some of you have read it. Does the movie stick to the original Larry McMurtrie novel?

aussie

Jim T, I didn't say that. The ending was truly moving.

aussie

Thanks Shasta for the recommendation of the book. I finished it today, excellent read. So glad I was able to track a copy down.

aussie

Some time back I asked the question which version was preferred, Tom Selleck or Lee Marvin. Someone suggested that I try to obtain the book. After quite some tracking I managed to obtain a second hand copy and have been reading it for a couple of weeks, almost finished. While not really the same as ...

aussie

Thought you guys would enjoy these, I did.

Thanks fellas. I will look for the book as suggested, it sounds good.
Just watched Quigley Down Under. Great entertainment.

aussie

Just watched both versions, Lee Marvin and Tom Selleck. I can't decide which version is better. Not that it will sway me in any way, but I'm just curious which one you guys prefer.

aussie

This is why I love this site, so much information based on experience. Thanks fellas.

aussie

This has probably been done to death, but I am just curious what the general consensus of opinion is regarding the preference of 150gn or 170gn projectiles in a Winchester 30/30 and why.

aussie

I like them all, but probably the one I have watched more times than I care to count is "Jeremiah Johnson" with Robert Redford.

The Cowboys.

That surprises me as it's only a video of the making of a Uberti levergun from scratch in their factory.

aussie

Have you guys seen this. Very interesting.

I have one of these in 45 Colt with a 24" barrel. Lovely rifle to shoot and yes it is accurate. Prefers lighter loads though for accuracy. $500? In a minute!

aussie

Just watched Monte Walsh on DVD starring Lee Marvin and Jack Palance. What a great movie. I have the Tom Selleck version and have watched it many times. Both versions have their merit and I really couldn't choose between them. If you haven't seen the Lee Marvin version, I would certainly recommend d...

Sorry guys Peach just doesn't do it for me

. She did it for the rooster though. 'Doesn't pay to rile Peach'.=-O

aussie

Well, it's that time of year again. Why is it that I never tire of watching this classic western?

aussie

Had the same problem with my 94 Legacy in 45 Colt from new. The problem was that the cartridge stop wasn't high enough to hold the next round back and it overrode the stop and jammed things up. Had to then dismantle the rifle to extract it. After searching on here for a solution, it seemed that the...

Thanks fellas, found J. Miller's post. Question answered. Parts ordered from Numrich.

aussie

I have a question that I hope someone is able to answer. I have a Winchester Legacy in .45 Colt it was made in the New Haven factory. Yesterday whilst stripping it down for cleaning, the head detached from the screw holding the link pin. I am able to purchase a complete set of screws for the Model 9...

Mescalero, I don't know, but as far as I am aware, D2 is the type of steel, tool steel I believe. Just found this, hope it helps. D2 steel is a steel that is vacuum heat treated i.e raised to a high temp and rapidly cooled by a vacuum process it is an ideal steel to use for punch and dies or injecti...

Just thought I'd share my new toy with you. Picked her up today. Handmade,D2 steel, black linen Micarta scales, brass fittings. OAL 9", blade 4"long 1 1/8" wide 1/8" thickness. Made by J R Peck Australia.

aussie

Just finished watching the Lonesome Dove Anthology... Dead Mans Walk followed by Comanche Moon followed by Lonesome Dove followed by Return to Lonesome Dove finishing with Streets of Laredo. Lonesome Dove is still the pick.

I think this would be it.
Ron

Yep, this is the one. Good read.

aussie

I am currently reading "The Revenant". The story of Hugh Glass. An amazing book about survival and pure guts. Anybody read it? Can't recommend it highly enough.

aussie

Yep no trouble at all. Still logged in from last time.

aussie

This is supposed to be his rifle.

aussie.

aussie

Tycer, I arc welded it to build up some steel then ground down to the shape required, as Griff said. And yes, it should be steel not cast iron. Really was pretty easy.
aussie.

aussie

Well, welded the cartridge stop and reshaped it this afternoon. Works like a charm.

aussie

Griff, it wasn't a matter of not believing, just that this rifle has only shot about 100 rounds and I didn't think Winchester quality was so poor. Guess I was wrong

. Guess you were right

Thanks again.

aussie

Took the 45 out today and it jammed even more frequently. When I got home, I stripped the lever/link assy out and replaced it with the one from my 30/30. Although the 30/30 has a different shape loop and wouldn't close all the way ( 45 is a Legacy, pistol grip), rounds cycled fine, no sign of jam. W...

aussie

Thanks all. The stop is neither broken nor worn, hasn't shot enough. I will check for slop in the pin though.
Thanks again.

aussie

I'm hoping that someone on here can supply me with an answer and maybe a fix. I have a Winchester 1894 Legacy in .45 Colt and quite often when in the process of chambering a round, another round slips under the carrier and jams the whole thing up. The action then needs to be dismantled to clear this...

Anhydrous Wool Fat. You can get it from the chemist ( Drug Store). Best stuff I've used.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it is an interesting read.

Hey Nicknack, nice Marlin, I'm envious...Got the '94, but nothin' like that.

aussie

This is probably off topic, but I have seen this movie several times and have finally read the book. Wonderfull! If there are any of you out there that has seen the movie but not read the book, I would highly suggest you do so. Very close to the movie but includes a lot more and ties some things tog...

aussie

Now it's due to this type of post that I like this site so much......good work Joe.

aussie

Found this cool site. Just click on the movie alphabetically.....ver cool.

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Main_Page

aussie

Yeah, I liked it too. In fact I bought the DVD. Very raw, no holds barred type of movie, not a pretty one though. Guy Pierce was excellent.

aussie

Lobo, Charles Bronson and lee Marvin.

aussie

Just finished watching Death Hunt.....again. There sure are some interesting firearms in this movie. Good movie too.

aussie

Australians tend to do that type of thing Joe. It was meant as entertainment, not a history lesson or documentary. But some Australians went to the length of apologising for it, even though they had no hand in the making of the movie. Maybe it was meant to make them seem more important than they rea...

Ouch, a bit proud of those things aren't they? I guess I'd just have to stick with starting a fire in an old coffee tin and cooking on top of that.

You and me both, expensive way to boil some water.....
