Thanks to all for your comments * -- I will be sure to post "better results from better bullets" when I get 'em. (Could be after duck & deer season -- be patient...)

How about this, an "on topic" post from me --if that's allowed... You know, I was always told that as a "3rd-generation locksmith", I knew my way around locks and keys and all, but I never expected to have this much luck with keyholes ! The picture below will say more than my wo...

BACK IN 1850: California became a state. The State had no electricity. The State had no money. Almost everyone spoke Spanish. There were gunfights in the streets. Basically, it was just like California today -- except the women back then had real t**s and the men didn't hold hands! Old No7

If it had been a goat instead, at least we could have said it was a really BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDD joke...

I agree with the above comments...

One other tip -- if you can do so, access the area from 180 degrees opposite from where 90% of all the other hunters will be coming in. That doesn't guarantee they will move a deer to you, but it sure does help the odds!

Good huntin'!

So why do we always think of "something else" just a few seconds after we hit submit??? Anyway, if you need parts, don't forget to check eBay -- or FleaBay as some gunowners call it due to their stance on some gun parts -- but if you need the parts, just search on "H&R 999" ...

Old No7

I forgot to add... These aren't the easiest guns to take apart -- or more importantly -- to get back together right... A concern is if you punch out the pins too much, they won't be as snug any more. Plus, don't punch them out the wrong way, or try to put them in backwards. You may know already, but...

Old No7

Ah yes, one of my favorites from my long-ago youth... The H & R 999 Sportsman was the very first handgun I ever bought, and then later turned out to be the first handgun I ever sold too. Such is life... Just got a used one a couple of years back and brought it back to shootable condition, "...

If the moderators don't mind me pointing you elsewhere *, you might get a better response to this on the Single Shot forum:

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs. The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went right into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lo...

Y Kid, you could tell your darling l'il girl:

(a) At $4.00 a gallon, you won't be wasting "any gas" these days.

Your mileage may vary... But I've had the best results re-treating those cloths with Birchwood-Casey "Sheath" spray, now called "Barricade" I believe. It's a great rust-preventive and once the blue is wiped down with it, even finger prints don't show up. Like another poster menti...

Howdy all, I've done my share of Off Topic posts too, but not only is this one on topic -- it includes pictures of a classic lever gun!

Me-thinks that glare from the sun would be a major reason why they're not typically offered, and why it might be a very bad idea to have one chrome or nickle-plated.

Ok, I've know I've posted my share of OFF TOPIC posts too, but this one should be labeled as: FTLOGWDYPTT

A husband and wife went for counseling after 20 long years of marriage.

I just heard this song tonight, and it's appropriate for this post...

It's by Billy Ray Cyrus -- the achey breaky guy -- never been a fan, but I just might have to download that one to the 'ol iPod.

Thanks for the comments jd45. The cylinder throats were 20 to 30 thous' smaller than the 0.358" bullets . The tight throats sized the bullets down and I wasn't getting a good seal in the barrel -- causing major leading! -- and the accuracy wasn't worth writing about either. Now, with the throat...
