Amazing how different two reports can be in "the information age." Or have we "progressed" beyond the information age and I missed it.

First thing that popped up when I searched. Sounds like waves were only 1' above normal but they are not sure they are out of the woods. He may have been forced to evacuate and just can't go home and log on. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2011/03/11/Hawaii-tsunami-waves-lower-than-expected/UPI-54911...

THAT is one of the coolest winter projects I have see yet!
Wonderful use of time and great craftsmanship!
Thanks for sharing that........... and filling my head with ideas for next winter.

Jeff H

........This will be the best 6 bucks you will ever spent. You're the MAN, Steve! Brownell's is a great place, but I can't afford everything in their catalog that I might need once or twice. That tool would have been handy on a couple of crusty old Mauser projects I've done too, but the levers have...

.....I use the Skeeter Skelton load for most of my .44 Specials. 7.5 gr. Unique, 250 gr. Keith (nominal weight), standard primer. Another vote for the "Skeeter Load." I shot some 215 grain SWCs yesterday over 7.7 grains of Unique at 15 yards, and if not for my unsteady hand, I wouldn't ha...

Make that two votes for "Ulu" and "Noclu" on that thing lying against the oilcan. I didn't recognize the second as a knife at all.

Actually, the old men in my family were quite impressive in their witt, but the women,..... watch out!

Good snow shoes of any type are at least $40, even mil surp metal framed snow shoes. Those bear paws are neat! Yep - I just saw surplus snow shoes for $40 yesterday and they weren't nearly as beautiful as those. I'm betting that a pair like that would pretty expensive to have made. I have toyed wit...

Jeff H

Very encouraging!
Everything is under snow again this morning after reaching 50 and raining all day yesterday.
Good casting weather anyway.

Jeff H

Nice score!
The boy is going to have one heck of a good birthday.

Jeff H

WOW! Absolutely beautiful!

I saw "axe" in the subject line and thought I would get a chance to share about the dirty ol' Kelly Wood Slasher I got for my birthday.

Never mind...........

Jeff H

Congratulations, Joe!
Please offer the Missus my congratulations as well.

Jeff H

I have the better part of a gallon of that stuff in my shop. The only problem is that I have to do some sanding on my stock before I commit to the finish. No sense in putting the effort into a finish if the wood isn't looking half ways presentable. Mine is not walnut, but a light-colored SA hardwood...

Jeff H

The .223, for me, presents a problem with the concept of the "4-gun battery" because the .223 is one that I would never want t obe without and one that I would recommend everyone have at least one of. Sure, ther are lots of .22 CFs that are faster and some that are smaller and have less ap...

......There is a world of difference between the XR3 and XR3-RED grips. They look the same to a lot of folks, but there is one blatant difference........Joe I don't mean to imply they are the same, but I do try to avoid some of the debates over which of the two is "better," because while ...

Don't do anything you're not supposed to - take your time and heal up right.

Still thinking about you.

Jeff H

I am not a big guy and don't have big paws either, so I have always gotten along with the Ruger XR3 or XR3-RED just fine. My OM SBH wore a stainless Old Army grip frame, even when shooting 310 LEEs and my OM .45 Colt sported the XR3-RED. I have had four Ruger Bisleys (2 SBHs, 1 ,44 mag old Vaquero a...

I have been shooting, reloading and casting for 40 years, but if there's one thing I love about all three is that there is ALWAYS somethin...

Jeff H

That is one nice musketoon! Great work with it. I am a patched RB fan myself and have always admired that particular firearm as being very practical and versatile. EDIT: Hey, Nath, I don't know if they make the thread sizes you need or if you can get them there, but Pyrodex has offered me the same r...

Jeff H

OK, my pics weren't all that great. Too bright outside and all the dust that stuck to the RIG I wiped it down with showed up, so here is one of the carbine and one of the recovered KY and slug-donor RDO. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t284/mike-foxtrot/ROSSI9201.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/a...

As far as the DVD goes, yes, and thank you all for the recommendation. I lurked here for a few years before being able to register and had almost bought the DVD preemtively, but it is the next "part" for the gun. That and the ejector spring, ,maybe the follower,... Have to pay for the gun ...

Jeff H

Very nice work!
Something very gratifying abouit making your own sheath or holster.

Jeff H

Glad you like it. I would sure hate to loose my Rossi 92 .357, it is a truck gun supreme. What's even better is that I don't even HAVE a real truck! I switch between two Jeep Cherokees and the 92 will be so much handier in them than my bolt-guns have. I have a '95 Chilean with a 16" '94 Swede ...

Jeff H

WoW . sounds like U like it. Good deal, that is one thing I hate- making decisions. It took Me 2 months to decide what Reloader to Buy. With all this talk about 357 trappers I guess I need to drag out My 20+ year old Marlin and fire it for the first time. It and its Cousin 44mag. Question on the ex...

Jeff H

I have been shopping passively for another lever for several years. In the last year, I had my mind made up what I wanted, but prices and availablity issues kept one just out of reach. I just picked up a brand new Rossi 92 in .357 today after ordering it online just a couple days ago. It's a 16"...

Jeff H

I waited 46 days to make my first 2011 purchase. I think I did pretty good. Although I haven't seen it yet, it's a Ruger Blackhawk .357. Gunshop, Jaqua's, said it was in excellent shape. I've never done business with them, but some of the folks over on rugerforum.com think highly of them - we'll se...

Jeff H

Thanks, Noah. Depending on what it looks like when I get it (shiping confirmation came via e-mail today), I may evenb decide to screw a ramp on. I have a custom '09 Argentine I built that is all done except for the front sight and bluing, so I know I have some sight shopping to do and some sight wor...

I am late in coming onto this thread, but you have the best wishes of my family and me. We have had our share of similar stuggles in and near our family in recent years and understand what you and your family are going through. You will definitely be in our hearts and minds. Heal quickly and hang in...

I was in Oly when it blew in '80. Absolutely astonishing. "Absolutely" and "astonishing" are actually pitifully weak words for what I saw. Never saw anything s big as that plume in my life. I don't remember earthquakes preceding it though. Several in CA a few years later and it w...

Jeff H

......And while you're doing it, replace the front sight. There are a number of attractive options but I'm biased toward ivory beads so I used the small ivory bead along with Steve's rear peep and it is a big improvement over Rossi's pitiful sights. Yeah, I will likely need something. It doesn't se...

31 years coming up in a few weeks. Sure doesn't seem like it. I trust no one more and prefer no other company over hers. It's just always sort of been a "you-n-me against the world" sort of deal and we have had each other's back the whole way. She's never held a hobby or a "project de...

Thanks!
Handy info.

That trick with the q-tip works on both ends of revolver barrel.

Safe to assume that they just screwed it on and did not reshape the stock then?

Thanks.

I have a backup offer on a new .357, which someone else has already offered to buy. In the event that fall through, I am eye-ballin' a new 92 in .44 mag. whic no one has made an offer on..... yet. The question is..... can you take that black monte carlo think off of the butt stock without ruining an...

Thanks, Hobie.

I have owned several Bulldogs over the years and each has been accurate well beyond what anyone would expect, will shoot more rounds in its lifetime than most want to believe and will take a stiffer load than many care to admit. I am not braggin' 'em up though! They'er cheap junk! And as long as peo...

Jeff H

Thanks.
I had never seen that before.

Jeff H

I don't have a horse, so I'll stick with Carmex.
Come to think of it, I would stick with Carmex even if I DID have a horse.

Jeff H

That's great news!

Thanks for sharing!

Jeff H

Beautiful pieces of work!
Looks like a great day.

Jeff H

Beautiful gun and an excellent price. The 'Special is my favorite. I bought a 4" 624 new in the late eighties for $275 right after they were discontinued. I love the Smith N-frames and have fallen for a few over the years but always realize that it just doesn't "fit" me. Mine shot wel...

Jeff H

I JUST missed a Marlin in .357 last weekend for $250, so it is encouraging to know that there are a few deals like that out there yet. Congratulations on your good fortune. I remember ALMOST picking up one as you describe for the same price, and it seemed like a good deal - ten years ago. The icing ...

Jeff H

Thanks!

I was just looking for that this weekend.
The link I had in my favorites was no longer good and I didn't have time to dig further.

Jeff H

I have loaded 30-30, 20 gauge and 12 gauge shotshells with them and they worked well.
I picked the 30-30 up for a friend with a Marlin who shot less than a box a year.
Back then, that saved him a whole $6 a year.

Jeff H

I like that youth model - for me, not for my kids. :D A long pull has always been problematic for me and I hate chopping good wood off of stocks. I also prefer a straight grip, but I really like that "mitten lever" a lot. Not sure if they would interchange or if the maker would sell one, b...
