I used to be an NRA member, I left them in the early 90's. We didnt see eye to eye and really dont now. I was paying my yearly dues and received way more than what my dues were in unsolicited hats, stickers, glossy flyers and junk mail weekly it seemed. Now some of you are missing the point. You're ...

This just happened in SW Oklahoma a couple weeks ago. I live about 6 miles from a town with approximately 600 people in it. Its a small farming/ranching town that literally closes up about 6 or 7 p.m. There is one road going through the middle of town. Nothing open at night. Soldiers from Ft Sill ca...

Thanks guys, I will try again. I tried assembling it out of the gun and pushing on the ejector with all my force and could not compress it enough. I know the spring goes on first, then the collar but it just wasnt working. Any problems with shortening the collar? And as far as if they are the origin...

Thanks Griff for the help. This isnt the first 92 I have owned and I have never had a problem putting the things back together. This was a beast of another color though. My ejector has a hump on the end of it and once the lever connecting pin is inserted back through the bolt, the ejector is locked ...

As the title says, what is the pupose of the ejector collar? I have an older SRC Puma in 357 mag that had a really rough, hard to work action. I took it apart and cleaned up and polished the action. While putting it back together I could not get the bolt to close with the ejector collar in place. On...

I took about a 6 month break from here and went to the Netherlands and Germany. It helps to get the hell out of the US once in awhile. I come back to our sleazy politics and just when I decide to write Benny Hill on my ballot, McCain gets smart. I knew Palin as the Wasilla mayor and voted for her to...

Leverbar, you are correct. I dont post on here near as much and I dont partake of too many topics anymore. From what this forum started out as in '04, it has gone downhill with a lot of the new posters. There are some good guys on here and then there are some "holier than thou A-holes" tha...

I am not sure what to think of that last photo.

Who is your gunsmith? I would think Jim West at Wild West Guns there in Anchorage could help you.

45-70-

Sixgun, I am a retired Coastie and worked on far too many cases of hunter deaths, espically in Alaska. People really dont realize that once you put thermals on, than your other layers, you are nothing more than an anchor once you get wet. We ran survival classes in Alaska for hunters and fishermen a...

Guys, make sure your careful when going out. I know there is some serious winter weather hitting parts of the US right now. We dont need headlines like this so take care, dress in layers, carry extra gear and tell someone where your going and when you plan to come home. You duck hunters need to make...

I was lucky enough to live in Alaska for 10 years thanks to Uncle Sam. I find that most people, even military buffs have no clue about what went on in Alaska during the war. They dont know anything about the Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands or all the fighting that went on up there. There w...

Guy's, I just checked dealer price on both guns from Davidsons and its $1494.84 for either 1886 model. Look around and find a dealer that will give you a good deal. You can also use the dealer search function on Gunbroker and punch in your area code. There are lots of guys who will order something f...

Thanks for all the info guys. I made some links up and every thing seemed to go pretty well. It was my first time using casing and it was really easy. Comal Forge, we made Italian sausage and the recipe didnt call for any "cure" I used fenel seeds, ground pepper, salt and chopped parsley. ...

I checked the shoulders, they are still half frozen. What I wanted to do is cube them, grind them, stuff them and refreeze the raw links? My wife seems to think so since we are changing composition. I dont know, I just dont want to make anyone sick.

45-70-

I have heard different answers and wanted to hear from you guys what you thought. I have 4 large wild pig shoulders that were frozen as whole shoulders. I want to cut them up, grind them and make sausage. Can I re-freeze it after processing it into sausage? I have been told no and yes. Some of the m...

It's nice to see you guys looking out for each other. It speaks well of your character. I hope you all have safe journeys and good hunting. We do expect to see some pics

I didnt get involved in this cause I dont know who Peter Capstick is. When I saw this statement " The most cowardly thing a man can do is to pi&^ on another man's grave. I don't understand why folks feel the need to do this kind of thing, but I always think less of them for it ." I tho...

I appreciate everyones advice. One drawback to living in rural farm land is the distance to the nearest city that is large enough to have a garage door installer. If I hire someone it will be a one hour drive for them, which means more money for me :( I will try to locate some steel bars that fit th...

45-70-

The door is 18 feet wide and 7 or 8 feet high. The bar has 2 springs on it. On the inside edge of each spring is a round piece of metal that appears to have four evenly spaced holes. That looks like the piece you want to stick something in to rotate so you can loosen it. So is the main danger coming...

I am building a barn and salvaging a perfectly good garage door. I have taken measurements and am in the process of taking digital photos so I know where everything goes and how it is supposed to be installed. The one area I need help in is the big roll bar at the top with the springs. I know those ...

That is sad, truly sad. Thats about all I can say that wont get me banned.
Grab a life ring folks, we are going down the toilet. Awhile back at a high school ballgame I watched kids and adults talk and play around during the national anthem. I made a point to talk to my son about it.

I will try and get the old family photo album from my folks. Lots of "characters" in it. Here is the grave of my great grandfather on my mothers side. Everyone knew him as "Tac" Durr. They said they found out his real name after he died. Not sure if I have a picture of him or not...

45-70-

Charles, I respect your insight on this matter. I wont stop pushing my ideas though whether you think they are fantasy or not. I bet the thought of this country being independt of British rule started off as a fantasy :wink: Watching what is going on with security and terrorist issues, I think more ...

45-70-

Wouldnt it be much cheaper if the govt went thru with dozers and chemical plant killer and cleared a 50 yard zone, then posted signs in various languages stating that tresspassers would be shot? Charles, I know from past discussions you think this method is harsh but in the long run, how many people...

We are in a state of emergency! The front runners are McCain, Obama and Clinton. None of those 3 have a good record on the 2nd amendment. I suggest you all spend the next year stocking up on what you need.

45-70-

Pete, you are right about it looking like a Ruger number 3, looks like a clone of one.

45-70-

Not sure about the other brand but you could never go wrong buying Lucchese. I was just looking at them and will be making my mind up soon on which pair I want.

45-70-

I would love to have it. Its just the right size now.

45-70-

Jason, if you can telecommute, do it. Thats what I do. I am way in the boonies, I can shoot in any direction from my house. I have been to the "office" one time in almost 2 years. Most of the employees only know my name, they have never met me. I get up in the morning and start the coffee ...

I didnt find out who was in the super bowl until Saturday. I watched it because my family wanted to get together for a party. I didnt care about the game but a party at my house means beer, lots of beer and I love beer. During the game I went out and fed the goats and the donkeys and worked on the g...

WAY TO GO MOSSBERG!!!!!!!!!

They have a nice line up for 2008. Are they making the SXS? I have got to get me one of those turkey guns. Well, at least I know what I want for next Christmas.

"Manufactured homes depreciate." Not all of them Jason. I just got offered $28,000 more than I paid for mine and I have been in it for 1.5 years. You got the manufactured-modular thing down right. Mine came on some type of trailer type-wheeled type system then it was all removed and the ho...

45-70-

Way to go Jason! Theres a lot to be said about manufactured homes, both good and bad :D I did a ton of research on having a new house built, both with big home building companies and small contractors. I even had some that factored in sweat equity from me. The end result is I bought a manufactured h...

This reminds me of a scene from my days living in Germany. My buddies and I were going to one of our local hangouts for a beer. As we round the corner to our favorite watering hole we see 2 guys about the size of this sheriff. For some (unknown to us) reason, a gang of young street punks picked a fi...

45-70-

Jason, these men have all given you the best advice possible. I can understand how you feel about wasting peoples time but why did you bother with the inspection???????? You did that to find out what kind of shape this house is in. The inspector did just what you paid him for. Just be upfront an hon...

The one I didnt buy and should have--early 1980's a guy offered me an HK MP5 for $400.

The one I bought and sold before I got into leverguns, a very early production high grade model 71. I sold it for more than double what I gave for it though.

45-70-

I dont mind my old mausers and mosin nagants looking goofy with funny things attached to them cause you really cant hurt their looks. Now lever guns are a different thing altogether. I think of a lever like a nice woman, long and sleek and purdy. They should be blued with nice figured wood dressing ...

That is great news. You would be hard pressed to find a better school. Many of this country's greatest leaders passed thru those hallowed halls. Please give him my well wishes and let him know this military retiree is proud of him.

I have to second Joe's "B" choice. Clyde is a good guy to deal with and his product looks nice once you install it.

I had something similar happen to me the other night with some new fangled semi auto pistol I got from my brother. I should have stuck with my revolver.

"But this poster here cites it as fact. Then when confronted, misrepresents it again by saying it is part of some "medical report." The actual story tells us that the facts are not in." Scott, as stated earlier, I simply posted the story for people to read. You seem to have gotte...

45-70-

OK Scott, I toutured myself by going back to the Washington Post a second time and reading that article again. I was ASSUMING that the report this CDC expert, Christopher T. De Rosa, wrote would be a medical report. I just thought the article was enlightening. I have long felt FEMA was a waste of mo...

"How did we go from wets crossing over to Waco?"

I dont know. Waco is just one of those LEO blackeyes like Ruby Ridge that get people spun up. No one will ever really know what happened cause the only ones who would have spoke about it are dead.

45-70-

ElMac, I am saying they moved the media so far back as a hope that they wouldnt be able to film much. I respectfully disagree about ATF or FBI agents driving those vehicles. I spent 4 years turning wrenches on track vehicles. I still have my military drivers liscense issued in'89 from Ft Hood for se...

45-70-

Scott, I thought posting the link would be easy enough for you. What is unsubstantiated about the medical report? I was just posting the story for people to read. I dont care if you agree with it or not.

45-70-

Just in case any of you had any doubts about how much they care about us. This is just another reason why most of us choose to take care of our own family and not rely on the govt. FEMA "ignored, hid and manipulated government research on the potential impact of long-term exposure to formaldehy...

45-70-

The military played a bigger role then they want people to know. Dont forget before this happened they forced all the media to move a long ways off making camera shots very hard. Have you forgotten the video of the army tank ramming a hole in the side of the building? There's a tank and the 2 far ve...

45-70-

Thanks guys. You're a great bunch. I just spoke to our mutual friend and she is going to pass on our thoughts as well as my offer to help in anyway if he needs something. I did find out that his grandparents, on his mom's side, just legally adopted him yesterday. Small town courts can hurry things u...

45-70-

Jason, you bring up a good question but its one I am not going to get into a discussion about with anyone here. I dont want to offend anyone just because our way of thinking may be different. I will use myself and my younger brother as examples, not saying that either of us is wrong or right. My bro...
