Seems there's no end to the miseries for the good folks on this forum. You and your wife will both be on our minds, as are the others who have posted - I just don't always reply to the posts. It's very difficult to see your spouse suffer - I know this first hand and repeatedly. I suppose you know by...

I've got bad discs in my neck and back,.........Oly Couple in my neck, and I have dealt with them for thirty-plus years. I didn't know what it was until a couple years ago when the second one developed and I went to see a cicilian doctor. First round was with military doctors and they had all kinds...

Beautiful rifle!

.........there is NO sensible reason that 'suppressors' should be restricted, taxed, regulated, or whatever euphemism they use for 'infringed'...! :evil: ........... If it's good for gun owners, it won't be done. The noise is a "good" reason to PREVENT people from shooting. Thanks, 86er. ...

Hang in there, Pitchy. When I was "in," I sustained an injury in training that for three years they claimed was non-existent. One "doctor" asked why I was trying to get out. I wasn't trying to get out - I was trying to get repaired so I could stay IN. Eventually, a "doctor&q...

I like it. I have known a lot of people who have gotten into a lot of arguments trying to justify or rationalize all types of expecditures of time/money on gun-related things. I even found myself creating reasons for a time in my life - I rationalized why I "needed" something or to do some...

While you're bouncing iedas off one another, let me share this one that sounds good but isn't:

I tried wool felt wads in the .44 mag once.
Don't do it.
It smells really BAD.
Worked in the Ruger OA with Pyrodex, so I figured....

Not the best idea with a lot of slow-burning smokeless powder.

Jeff H

You got all that stuff for a hundred bucks?? Last time I priced a SSR like that, it was $25 alone and I was paying $110 for Honeywell UDCs at a pretty significant discount. I salvaged a few controllers from the trash and have relay and analog output models - the model previous to their last upgrade ...

I have been intrigued by that one also. I also put my COW book in the reloading cabinet - way in the back, because it makes me daydream about things that I don't have time or money to spend on. I once started a custom '98 Mauser in .450 Marlin (because I could have a "45-70" bolt-rifle wit...

Jeff H

Any pics of your scabbard "in action" anyone? I have been thinking about one but have not started looking. With all the super cheap "tacticool" stuff out there, I should be able to find something. A lot of that stuff is fine for everyday use, some is actually quite well made. EDI...

Jeff H

Pretty cool.
No puddles dryimg up around here anytime soon,... but I'd have thouight the same thing.

Not to gang up on Kirk, but his subject matter, composition and quality of images are a tribute to a North American tribute - the lever action. Others have been posting fine photos as well and I would love to see all of them consolidated. Sometimes they are just nice to look at. I believe that I hav...

Jeff H

I probably will shoot off the balance before selling. Seems like the least laborious method. If I decide to sell at all, that is. I have let potential buyers use it up (under my supervision) and it usually hooks them - being able to shoot up some "free" stuff is hard for anyone to resist....

Jeff H

Typically, a one flute drill is used to drill long (straight) holes. Dixie Gun Works used to carry such things for drilling ramrod holes in stocks. If you are creative, you could alter a spade bit to cut on one side only and make the other side ride the hole. It may take two people and a mirror to l...

Jeff H

Get the 92, what if U have to shoot while riding. I'm thinking recoil would be more tolerable than the 45-70. Just My "O"p And if he's going fast enough, he cold almost make up the difference in velocity. :lol: Putting either together while on the fly might be the real trick. :lol: I know...

Jeff H

I got a plain set of Olive wood grips from CLC and they fit me well, but no where near as good looking as that Holly. Carey makes much nicer-looking grips than mine, but I had to get the cheapest set he had - which was still more than I have paid for a lot of guns in my life. :oops: After seeing the...

Many of the top CAS shooters use '73s with that classic curved winchester steel butt plate. Some of em glue a thin layer of glove leather to the entire plate, rough side out for just that purpose. Take the plate off the stock, Use contact cement to glue the leather to the steel. Trim the edges, pok...

I'm on it.

Just bear in mind that skateboard non-slip tape will tear up your clothes! Perhaps something more rubbery would be better?? Browse Ace Hardware, you'll find something. Best, Oly :oops: Good point. I bought a sheet of some stuff from Midouth which I believe Pachmyer made - rubbery on one side, stick...

Jeff H

How about a strip of skate board tape... should be easily removable.... Les That'll do it, wont take a very big piece. It will not permanently alter the gun either, so plus, plus. I have that problem with my Rossi - especially when wearing a fleece jacket (which I STILL have to do in MAY!!) and pla...

Jeff H

As irrelevant as it may be, I would succumb to the "cool factor" of the .35. I can't take a lot of recoil and a "bigger" bore would be cool. I am thinking it would be something I could shoot at the velocities the .35 moves things. I recenlty sold a '95 Mauser that I had wanted fo...

Maybe it thought you were a giant chipmunk in that suit :wink: This one has been wandering all by its lonesome for a couple weeks now. My Wife usually sees groups of 10 to 30 out back but this one is a loner. It wandered into the yard, checked everything out and walked right by the dog pens and they...

Jeff H

Some days I FEEL like that chipmunk!
No matter what I do or which way I turn - it was WRONG!

Jeff H

Man, you got me, Pitchy!

I was expecting a POWDER horn!!

What the heck - if it's brass, ditch the bulb, plug the end, put a spout on it and MAKE it a powder horn.

If anyone here can pull that off, it's you.

Jeff H

Fix the ejector spring FIRST. It will drive you nuts while trying to sort out the other stuff. My '92 is a Rossi that I suspect was rushed through the factory, as it had more problems than I have heard normally experienced with them. I ended up having to reduce the carrier detent spring tension and ...

Jeff H

Thanks, Pitchy!

My Rossi looked just like that this week!

Definitely going into favorites. That is quite a collection all together.

Jeff H

Very nice!
I would love to have one of those.
By the time I had a chance to start shopping for one, they'd been out of production for a couple years.
What a shame.

I hope you will share the details regarding loads and results.

Jeff H

I like it already!

Jeff H

I had a "cheap Sears rifle" once - the single best designed/made rifle I have ever owned and my own personal favorite rifle design - a Husqvarna L51. I have always thought it was the epitome of Mauser-like actions ( basically a '96 with a '98 bolt in modern steels...). It came to me pretty...

Jeff H

........Boys, you may wonder why I parted with these beautiful old guns. Fact of the matter is that I find I enjoy my old guns if I only have a few of them.......... Makes perfect sense to me. I had a bunch of stuff and pared things down to a level that I can actually spend some time using. Now, I ...

Jeff H

Wow. there's been a mess of 'em and most were great shooters. What I finally settled on ended up being a SS NM Bearcat. I hope to do adjustable sights on it some day and will watch out the corner of my eye for a spare cylinder to convert to .22 mag. Most of the .22s I have had over the years were gr...

VERY nice!
You are going to use it, right?

Very Nice!! Amazing how many times in my life that I passed on sub-$200 Winchesters. Ten or more years ago, in a typically over-priced shop, I had my hands on a used (obviously), supposedly pre-64 in 30-30 with a Redfield peep. It was in excellent condition inside and out, but I didn't know the diff...

I think it's fine for a fella to be on a velocity quest, but it's not my bag. My centerfire rifles (excluding my lever chambered for a pistol cartridge) are .223, .257 Roberts and the 6.5x55. I have a 7x57 "in parts." These are the ones that "stuck" after the purge. I moved all t...

Nice find!
Looks like a shooter to me.

I would like to have one like I saw on a Marlin once that was in between the normal and large.

In the Fall and Winter months, the gloves I wear are insula...

That look after the second shot with the rifle said "hmmmm, they're still movin'"

The barely perceptible nod after the finishers with the revolver was definitely a look of ackowledging decisive finality.

Thanks for sharing, Piney. That's pretty cool.
