I am an "AR guy" I guess and I like it, a lot. I've also always like laminated wood stocks too. Looks handy and versatile.

BobM

I bought a new Henry AR7 8 or 10 years ago. I was never happy with the reliability and the front sight was prone to slide out of the dovetail. A friend wanted it and he got a good deal after he shot it. My daughter and I each have a youth size 10/22 (shortened stock and 16" barrel). They don't ...

I think Paco had an article on the 357 where he talks about using Remington 180 JHPs with good success.

BobM

I think Sixgun is right; but if she insists on a 40 take a hard look at the S&W M&P40.

BobM

My dad has had a 6" Rapala since at least the 70s. It's the only filet knife I've ever used and I need to get one of my own. I think they are still made in Scandanavia.

BobM

I've got three Beckers, they are great knives for the money.

I'm also thinking hard about ordering a Randall, probably a Model 18, as a retirement gift to myself. I've got about six years left so I'll wait and think on it for another year.

A friend of mine uses his Redhawk with homemade shot loads on those bees.

BobM

I was in the local Wal-mart (SW Ohio) this morning. There were 6 100rd boxes of 9mm ball, one 50rd box, and some 40. I was able to get 3 of the 100 rd boxes.

BobM

Interesting. My wife's grandfather was in Europe during WWII and to this day has no use for the Red Cross. My father in law was a police officer near where I live now and went to Xenia to help out after the tornado of 1974. He also has no use for the Red Cross but I've not heard either one go into d...

I've also had issues with Remington centerfire pistol ammo and rifle primers, as well as their rimfire.

BobM

My grandpa had one in 22 Hornet; he'd made a new buttstock on it and put on a lever from a No. 1. I wish I knew what happened to it.

BobM

For defensive use I'd just get another 870 since the operation will be identical.

BobM

Great looking rifle, I've always liked the lines of the M-70

BobM

The Federal bulk packs of 550 rds were $19.97 at Wal-mart in SW Ohio.

BobM

I won't bore you with the same Gun Show tales, except to say a fellow had a NIB (maybe) Win. Trapper in .44mag for only 2,999.00, AND the stock was ruined with some really ugly laser engraving...I told the guy that I'd never seen a 2500 buck laser engraving job before :lol: :lol: :lol: Man, I let m...

I saw the signs for the Jeffersonville show, was thinking of checking it out Sunday.

BobM

I have XS on one 10/22 and they are pretty rugged. I've used the Williams products on Ruger Mini 30s and didn't feel they were very sturdy.
The Tech sight looks good and I have a set on the bench but haven't got around to installation yet.

BobM

I was there around 1500, no line at all then. I did find a conversion barrel for my M&P, didn't expect to see that.
My daughter was in the local marching band when Sarah Palin visited; she said the place was pretty much a zoo that day.

BobM

I like those fur bomber style hats.

BobM

I am of the opinion that the news report is wrong and/or incomplete. The most important thing is that he tried and she stopped him. The kids didn't have to crawl out over a dead body. It might not be what WE would have wanted. I think it is as good as a result as it could have been. News reports ar...

9mm, good 124/127 HP, preferably +P. Sometimes I carry a .40 (issue) or .45 pistol, but with the 9mm ammo I have, it suits me. 38 Spl, 158 gr Lead hollowpoint +P, or 135 gr. Gold Dot. In a revolver, given the option, I'd rather have a .357 or bigger with 125-145 magnum loads 12 ga, OO buck if not a ...

BobM

I used a Lee Loader to load 38 Spl. level loads in 357 cases for my 6" Security Six back in 86/87 or so in my off campus apartment.

BobM

I used a Workmate set up before I bought the house I'm in now. Once I made a 2'x2' loading bench and kept it in a big closet in an apartment but I only loaded pistol ammo on that one with a Lee Turret press.

BobM

That's good to know; I've been wanting an Austin style holster lately and wasn't sure where to get it.

BobM

I had a pair of Acadia's resoled a couple years ago, it was around $90. I don't think $150 for a foreign made boot will get you as good a boot as the Danner. All I asked (and paid) for was the new soles; they came back looking like new and I wore them several years on police patrol.

BobM

From what I heard, 511 put that out originally as a joke but demand became so heavy they started making them.

BobM

SWFA is offering a 3x fixed power Leupold, apparently an exclusive through them.

BobM

Winchester 127 gr +P+. If I couldn't get that I'd buy 124 gr +P Speer Gold Dots.

BobM

My first handgun was just like yours Pitchy except in stainless steel. I bought it in 86 after turning 21 and still have it but haven't shot it in a while. Believe I'll get it out soon. I've got a 22/45 that I've been shooting a lot more lately.

BobM

Back in the late 80s/early 90s I was at my grandpas house and asked to borrow Sixguns again. He said "I told you to keep it last time you borrowed it". His copy was from the 50s I think.

BobM

We have a WWI era theater in our town that lately has been playing old movies once in a while. Last month I got to see Stagecoach on the big screen.

BobM

I like the ferro rod/cotton ball combo, and I'll probably buy some more from the firesteel site.

BobM

I like www.vikingpreparedness.com

BobM

I checked out a Tactical Solutions upper today myself, I plan on buying it later this week and getting a suppressor too; seems like a lot of that going around here lately.

BobM

I think the bad guys BLR had a scout scope in QD mounts and what looked like a Sure=Fire light too.

BobM

He also played Chuck Yeager's buddy in "The Right Stuff".

BobM

I have a Maytag washer that my grandparents bought new in the mid 70s. Couple years ago the tub had some holes in it from rust, patched them with JB and, so far, so good.

BobM

In Ohio it comes up if the registered owner has a permit. To me it's kind of an "automatic good guy indicator"

BobM

Very interesting!

BobM

I'd really like that in a 20 ga. myself.

BobM

There's an AR racked over my head in the cruiser but I wouldn't at all be bothered by using a good Winchester or Marlin.

BobM

Very interesting thread. I recently got a good deal on a slightly used red/black Filson double mac coat and love it. I've also accumulated some wool shirts and pants and wore them on a camping/hunting trip last week. As far as storage are you guys using mothballs or anything else to protect the clot...

BobM

Last year I bought a pair of Schnee's hunting boots with Thinsulate/felt liners. I've used them on stands with good results. They fit well so far for the walking I've done.

BobM

Still funny though.

BobM

I've been to Vinton Co. a couple times sort of hunting for them but no luck. Last winter a forest ranger said none had been spotted in the Zaleski forest in over a year. However, we were there last month and some other hunters said they are out there and gave us a better idea where to hunt.

BobM

I have a Dillon 550 mostly for 45 ACP, with conversion kits for 9mm, 40S&W, 38/357. I have a Redding T7 for rifle loads but haven't used it much yet. I used to use a Rockchucker for the rifle loads. I also have a C-H Tool & Die, I think it's a 444 Pistol Champ that I use for 357 and 44 Magnu...

BobM

I've got an 870 at home; I had a gunsmith cut a 28" vent rib barrel to about 19" and re-thread it for Remchokes. There's also a large fiber optic bead on it and a Sure-fire light. I also took about an inch off the buttstock.

BobM

What shows will you be going to? Anything in SW Ohio?

BobM

My wife was in high school in the mid 1980s. She said the history teacher gave them an assignment to interview their grandparents about life in the depression. When my wife got home she called her grandmother who asked her if she had ever watched the Waltons. Her grandma, who just left us in the las...
