So while i was in the the local pawn shop they put out a never fired Ruger New Blackhawk in .357 .... They had sold it to a guy that wanted to carry it and then decided it was too big and traded it back. Doesn't have a mark on it and comes with the box / documentation. Nickel and 6.5 inch barrel for...

Yeah, but so does a regular 6-shot Blackhawk, or one of the 7-shot or 8-shot Taurus double action revolvers...

Thanks again for the help ... It dawned on me that I could take an empty round and see if it would strike / fire the primer. Worked like a champ. Next question ..... I noticed when the bolt is completely closed the top portion (assume extractor?) raises up quit a bit. I see that the piece is hinged ...

I would imagine my first line of defense will be the flying CPAP machine that I launch when i forget it is still connected .... followed by me falling down trying to step over my sleeping lab ....

Moving the bolt to battery seemed a little stiff so I took the action apart and cleaned and inspected everything and put it back together. Up front I have never shot / handled a different 94 so I don't know how to compare the last portion of the cycle .... as the rising lug comes up it seems I have ...

Thanks to all :D Stan , the move really is for my daughter who teaches high school math. She wants some acreage ,loves horses and she shoots a Marlin 1894 P! So she's looking in the Virginia ,N.C. area for a great school system and what I stated above. Any suggestions? Great school system? Have her...

Thinking of buying my young son a .30 WCF for Christmas and a local pawn shop has what appears to be an unfired 94 with a tang safety. I recognize that the safety version might not be for everyone, but it is something that can give my wife a bit more comfort as I buy him a rifle. The tag on the gun ...

Thank you

I bought the Lee Pacesetter dies..... my assumption is one of the 3 dies is to just use some time of charging system while on press? (30-30) Since, I am a little new to reloading I have been loading a little light.... Federal primers Unique 11 gr Cast 155 RN Gas checked So, I was a little baffled fo...

They are sold out .... I bet they did go quick. another qq: I slugged my barrel and it came to .313 .... any suggestions for a bullet? I shot 20 rounds of the Winchester ammo and it shot well enough to not worry about... But, I cannot find the dimension of their bullet anywhere. I see a hornady bull...

anyone tried this ammo? Also, it is re loadable with traditional primers?

Sorry again for the noob question.

antilley

Depends on the gun, and what I'm trying to hit. a) Semiauto plinking at a bouncing pop-can - pull trigger repeatedly and point gun in general direction of target :lol: b) Bench-shooting a Savage Accutrigger or Contender or Encore or other 'tuned' gun - take up whatever slack there is and poise just...

antilley

by the time i have enough money to get the triggers worked .... i will be too old to care

we shoot em how they come out of the box.

antilley

i love hearing your Texas history stuff......

I had no idea that went on in Mason County .... my assumption that is Mason/ LLano area? I would love to have some Coopers Ribs again soon

antilley

Mike D. I am new to the forum ... but, enjoy your posts about what is rare and what is not rare....

So i have to ask ... is it reasonable for this seller to use the word 'Rare' in the description?

The Mosin is now ~7 inches shorter. (still need to lap in the crown) Yes, we did shoot it first and found it to be a fun gun to shoot.... it was a 41 Russian with nothing special on it. Used stain / paper / tongue oil from another project .... and YES we did paint the barrel / receiver with Hi Temp ...

Shot it this last weekend (Winchester 180 gr) .... loved it. but, we are going to shorten it ... keep the stock .... and put a scout scope on the dovetail (lucky my rear site was not brazed) Just a picture to show you we are getting started.... still need to get some lapping compound.... but it is a...

I believe I watched a you tube video of the person the op was referring too and I was pretty impressed. I assume there are a lot of you that can shoot like that, but no one in my immediate family can. Hitting a pop can at 250 yards offhand with a revolver would be pretty kewl to see. I am also learn...

Thanks for sharing .... showed the entire family.

I was going to remove that silly safety on my new model Rossi 92/44. I have had it four Years now and it is still on the top of the receiver. It gets the most use when I unload a full magazine. Sorry for your pain. You broke two of the most important rules of Gun Safety. Always keep the Firearm poi...

Been on and around motorcycles all my life .....owned many and the last to ride was a Honda VTX 1800 F2..... what a thrill.

I know it is a religious debate.... Different strokes for different folks. I respect both sides of the argument. Like going to a car show .... some folks like to see original cars / restored back to new condition including the thread used in a seat. I go and look for the 57 Chevy with a Big Block .....

I am afraid to go back to the 7.62 forum as I actually stripped the gun and put a stain back on it.... hope to shine it up this next weekend. I HAD no idea that doing this violated my agreement to carry around and make a shooter out of gun that was both ugly and had deep embedded cosmoline that real...

Keep posting the pictures please ........ UNREAL is all i can say.

I am not sure my modest collection will ever be at this level .... but, I can give it a shot!!!!

Now that i have the .357 / .38 sorta figured out I thought i would move on to 30 30 loads. (pretty excited about 500 rounds to date) I hope to be able to shoot some type of cast (assuming it is cheaper) ..... do you need some type of belling device to seat a cast bullet? or will the 2 die sets work?...

my step dad was a big coon hunter and we rode mules in the woods a LOT. All of our hunting mules could jump fences and most of the time we didn't even take a trailer if we had 2 trucks going to hunt. we just jumped em in back of the truck. I spent most of my youth 'breaking' wild donkey's and mules ...

So i show up to pick up the MN and while doing the paperwork the ole' 41 Russian had a baby.......

I plan on picking up the Mosin Nagant this week (ordered from Buds) and we are planning on shooting the thing this weekend.

Thanks for the advice .....

I still wasn't sure how I would see all the things you pointed out until I visited Dicks Sporting Goods tonight..... The idea of a Bore Light had never dawned on me

It all makes much more sense today

Thanks again.
