Very nice pics!

BobM

I handled the newer Bushnell that combines binos and an LRF. It looked pretty good and ranged well over 1000 yards. It's been getting good reviews elsewhere on the internet.

BobM

A groundhog, some jackrabbits, and quite a few prairie dogs with my 9422M. Not a thing with my centerfires (I only have the 9422M and a Trapper 357 left now anyway). I had a Trapper 44 and a Guide Gun but never shot any critters with them.

I hate to hear these stories, when my son in law gets back from his deployment they have to move all their stuff to Texas. I've been thinking about renting a truck anyway and doing it ourselves. We did have a locally based mover in our town who became notorious for non-delivered and/or missing prope...

If you are wanting something that you can use for up close as well as long range, you might want to look into an aimpoint and a magnifyer. The aimpoints come wth dots that are either good for either 2 moa or 4 moa. The magnifyers mount behind the the red dot rectical. If you need to clear a room yo...

BobM

Milliradian. If I remember correctly one "mil" is 3.6" @ 100 yards, one meter at 1000 meters.

BobM

I've used one of those alot and was surprised by how thick a branch it can cut.

BobM

Very nice!

BobM

$750 for the 625 might be a little high, unless it is ANIB w/ all papers and tools. $400 for the Model 66 is a good price. I paid $300 for a 2 1/2" 66-1 this past February and felt like I got a pretty good deal. You sure did, rarely around here do you ever see a 2 1/2 19 or 66 up for sale, whe...

Me too. I clicked on the thread hoping for pics, maybe next time?

BobM

The Federal bulk packs from Wal-mart work fine in my 10/22s and my S&W M&P15/22 so unless Winchester is going to sell these for less I might not try any.

That's what I was thinking. I'm guessing they are targeting the shooters that have been buying up the rimfire AR15 look-alikes.

BobM

The Walmart in Wilmington OH re-installed the gun display a few weeks ago. There weren't any guns in it last time I was there though.

BobM

The Surefires, and the better Streamlights will hold up long term to hard use. I still use a Streamlight SL20 I bought in 1989. I've got a number of the Surefire G2 Nitrolons (under $40) and they are excellent lights. The LED versions cost more but give longer battery life.

BobM

A 4" Security Six was my first issued service handgun (I wish I had bought it when we traded them in). It had the rubber square butt grips that worked well. I do like the Hogue style of grip, you might look at the options they offer in various woods.

BobM

I use one when jogging or otherwise wearing workout type clothing. Currently use one from Eagle Industries with a 9mm or 40 cal pistol. Other than that I think a real holster is the way to go.

BobM

The 336Y, is that the youth model they made a few years ago with the 16" barrel?

BobM

I agree with the laser grip suggestions. I'd consider getting the CA girl a Glock 19 or the 26 instead of the equivalent models in 40S&W. The J or K frame 38 for the other makes a lot of sense too. I'd stick with 38 and/or 9mm as opposed to the 32s simply for the ease of finding practice ammo.

BobM

From what I understand the 168s work well at least to 600 yds. People shooting much past that with the 308 seem to prefer the 175/178 grain bullets. I did shoot a match a few months ago that went out to 550yds. I used factory Hornady ammo with 155 TAP bullets and they seemed to work well; I don't kn...

BobM

That's funny, earlier I ran across the picture I'd printed from the original post and was wondering if any were ever made. I still don't need one, but I sure still want one.

BobM

If you wanted to mail order ammo you might find a pretty good selection in the 28. I don't know if they make 28 ga slugs though.

BobM

One of the pictures reminded me: when we used the Mini30s as patrol rifles we found the flip up rear sights as on the Ranch rifles to be pretty fragile. I replaced them all with Williams peeps at the time. I think XS sights makes a replacement for the factory sight now also.

BobM

Definitely stick with factory magazines.

BobM

Very Interesting!

BobM

I'd say BCM or S&W. Colt is of course excellent but pricier. I'm an armorer for an agency with over a dozen in service. The last several I've ordered have been S&W. The only ones I've had problems with have been Bushmasters (we have Colt, S&W, and Bushmaster) but I've been able to fix th...

BobM

Does anyone know how to remove the mainspring assembly from a newer 94? All of my references on hand show the older type flat spring. I was able to free the front end but not the rear.

BobM

I'm thinking hard about a stainless Colt with the rail.

BobM

The Tractor Supply stores in Ohio have some Cannon safes, I think they might be on sale this month also.

BobM

I carried a S&W 9mm for over 15 years in uniform and was very happy with (I bought it when we traded them in). I was also the armorer and took care of them and they worked very well for a long time.

BobM

Haven't seen that one in a while but it's still funny!

BobM

I've bought a lot of biographies from the children's section for my daughter and nieces and nephews. They seem to have been popular. The first one I bought my daughter was Annie Oakley.

BobM

Right now I'd choose the AR as I've got a lot more time on it than the levergun. However, after I retire I'll strongly consider using my .357 Winchester Trapper assuming I can afford to shoot it enough to get proficient enough.

BobM

The Cincinnati Zoo had a pretty big one last time I was there. It was pretty impressive looking.

BobM

I have no earthly use for one of those but I sure want one.

BobM

That's pretty cool! I remember my grandma having a wringer washer. I still have and use the top loading Maytag washer (harvest gold, I think it was called) her and grandpa bought in the mid 70s. I've had to replace belts (once), a hose, the injector (twice), and just recently the motor. I got it fro...

BobM

Something that occurred to me when I was watching was that probably the James gang was more used to going up against opponents that would likely fight back. One of the Capone scenarios I saw was basically a drive-by shooting.

BobM

I like that alot; is that a Davidson's exclusive?

BobM

Deerwhacker, for what it's worth I was at a Hornady ballistics demo a few weeks ago and I saw that 380 round fired into ballistice gelatin. I thought it had a good balance of penetration and expansion for a 380, especially through the clothing barrier they used.

BobM

I carry an "El Tigre" in 44-40 or a 9422M most of the time but not all the time. They each have a sling with a cartridge carrier attached. Rangerider, a couple of questions if you don't mind: How did you attach the sling to the 9422M and where did you find a cartridge carrier to fit the 2...

not one of them is showing off their iron!

These pictures have kind of inspired me to see about shooting a modern one on the courthouse steps. I'll have to see how the powers that be would feel about us displaying long guns in such a shot.

BobM

Late last year an older gentlemen from a neighboring county was taking his wife to our local hospital for surgery when his truck broke down about two blocks from the hospital. He had his CCW pistol with him and a locking case (as he had planned to leave in the truck-the hospital is posted against CC...

BobM

Long gun: My Guide Gun with some handloads.

Handgun: S&W 500 with the 500 magnum ammo, two rounds was enough for me.

Is your O-ring fix as Sixgun suggested?

Just slip the thing onto the screw up to the head and use it like a lock-washer?

Found them, they were a size 60. Yes, used like a lock washer.

BobM

I had this problem with my Kimber and I bought some small rubber Orings. I can't recall the exact size now but it did solve the issue. If you want I'll look around for the package and let you know the size.

BobM

Interesting. I'd never heard of the 61 and last week my local dealer was showing me one someone had given him. Until then I didn't realize Winchester had made hammerless .22 pumps.

BobM

Stagecoach was remade, maybe twice. The one remake I saw part of was no where near as good as the original.

BobM

I have 15-22 also, I have a Bushnell red dot on a Ruger Mk II that I'm going to move to the 15-22 when I get a mount. It was under $100 and gives you a choice of dot sizes. I've got another mount I'm going to put a regular scope into and then switch back and forth depending on what I'm wanting to do...

BobM

At work: S&W M&P40, M&P40 compact, J-frame 38, Rem 870, AR15, Rem 700 .308.

If it were up to me (maybe post-retirement) I'd probably go with a 5" 1911, or a 4" .357 or 44, .357 or .44 levergun, 870, Ruger .22 pistol.

Very nifty revolver!

For a long time I've read that a service grade revolver is generally more accurate than a service grade auto. Do you find the Glock to be accurate enough for your needs? The last time I was hunting/camping I carried a 5" 1911 as it was, from what I owned at the time, the best combo of portabili...
