Ysabel Kid sums it up well. No matter which Christian denomination one belongs to, one important to keep in mind is: a house united beats a house divided. And based on some recent events-both here and abroad-there is no better time to remain united. Martin Luther had some really good quotes. There a...

^^^ You'll be sure to count them if they get stolen^^^

kaschi

Yep, right on YK! Duh, what was I thinking. LOL. I'm kinda in the same boat as you maybe with shoes. The other day I realized I've been wearing the same pair of shoes to work DAILY since December 2006. Now that's pretty good mileage!

kaschi

When my wife asked me how many guns were enough, I asked her: "How many pairs of shoes are enough?" That is a legitimate question, isn't it?

kaschi

I was kinda hoping they would be making some lever guns with straight stocks instead of a semi auto.

kaschi

It's sad that of the 4 92 chamberings, only the 25-20 has been left out so far in the Miroku lineup.

Here in PA it only looked like it was going to storm, then it cleared up again. For those of you in the heavily affected areas, how did your pets react?

@crs: What kind of snake was it?

I remember back in the early/mid 70s when he came to the Indiana County Fair in Indiana,PA. I grew up in that county and there is a small town called "Glen Campbell" (not named after the singer) about halfway between the towns of Indiana and Clearfield. When someone pointed out to Glen tha...

Rifles with crescent buttplates sit in the shoulder nicely and allow the rifle to hang well and allow me to shoot them more accurately. Carbines, especially SRCs are somewhat slippery and are more apt to slide and move around. Love 'em both though!

kaschi

That might be an idea but probably a PITA finding those measurements. I've milled over this and have pretty much come to the conclusion that the medium height is the best solution. I'll follow up with how things turn out.

kaschi

I picked up Kimber Model 84M in 223 and wow what a sweet little rifle! Perfect weight, beautiful wood and desirable features like 3 position M70 style safety, controlled feed and claw extraction make it one of the nicest rifles I own. So here's where you guys can pitch in: I've decided on a Leupold ...

Compare the price of a Model 14 Carbine in 25 to any other Model 14 at an auction and you will see how much the 25 brings...

kaschi

I agree with you Malemute, it would make no sense to buy one of those if mine is indeed the same. Might as well just have weld added to the one in my rifle if that route were taken… My interpretation of some posts here is that there ARE differences between Browning and (new) Winchester FPs and I wan...

kaschi

So, bottom line: should I order the FP (item # PO70102) and have the add on weld applied like Nate noted?
Another question, who makes "aftermarket" 1886 Firing Pins that Malemute mentioned? I'm guessing one from Chiappa or Pedersoli might work but not sure how available they are.

kaschi

Boy, now I'm confused. So, does the Browning 1886 use an inertia FP or not? Vance pointed out that his Browning 71 has an inertia FP. A guy would think Browning used the same type of FP for both models. I have Browning 86s and a 71 and the FP is spring loaded… not sure if that means anything but it'...

kaschi

UPDATE: for those of you interested. I ordered the hammer and trigger which arrived. By the way Pete, the hammer was part # PO70750 not PO70150 and the price was $89. Figured I better grab those parts NOW before they're gone… Nate, you mentioned getting rid of WInchester's FP due to misfires and tha...

kaschi

They should have brought back the 22 Magnum cylinder to accompany the standard Bearcat. It would have sold better I believe.

kaschi

Yes, if you want one get it NOW. The ATF may put the screws to this sooner than later.

kaschi

To each his own but my safety will be gone when this is all said and done. Had an afterthought and question though about the spring-loaded firing pin. Where would a guy locate the original style? I'd like to make that change too.

kaschi

I've asked about sending firearms at a couple of different post offices in the area and EVERY SINGLE ONE has given different info! How ridiculous is that? One of them even said it's impossible and against the law. Seriously, how the Postmaster of any given post office not know this is beyond belief?...

kaschi

Thank you Pete! I do appreciate it. Somehow I was thinking there were more parts than just the hammer and trigger but in this case less IS better!

kaschi

To be more exact, to get rid of the rebounding hammer, tang safety etc. I'd be using Browning 1886 parts but want to be safe and get all necessary parts.

kaschi

Have any of you known that Uberti makes a stainless steel 1873 Rifle? This was news to me but seems to be the case. There is one for sale on www.gunsinternational.com now (go to "Uberti" on the home page and you can find it there). It's the short rifle version with 18 1/2" half-round/...

kaschi

Over at gunsamerica.com there's an article where he states that he hates guns… He loved using them to make his fortune.

kaschi

That's interesting. That indicates (to me at least) there were no problems after the initial 1000 or so. Wonder why they did not continue offering the BC with both cylinders then?

kaschi

Thank you for the info gents! I don't have the required tools nor am I savvy enough to do this so it will have to be a real gunsmith. Any leads there? The only name I've run across is Alan Hartan regarding revolver smithing but do not have his contact info. Pete: you mentioned that Ruger recalled th...

kaschi

Sounds like a bunch of hot air to me.

kaschi

In truth, I regret not having bought more than I sold. Here are the ones that should have been kept: SIG P226 West German 80s era Remington 870 Magnum H&R Topper 410--not much of a shotgun at all but it was my own first gun EVER given to me by my uncle at the ripe old age of 6 yrs. When I got bi...

kaschi

…so how does a guy go about getting one made? Supposedly Ruger will not sell a cylinder to the public, so the solution may be to inform them that the cylinder was "lost", have them (Ruger) install a new one and then have the one in hand sent to someone who can work it to accept 22 Mag ammo...

kaschi

I did a youtube search by typing in "Uberti 1886" and found this one minute clip. It's unfortunately in Italian which I don't understand but partway through it, I hear the guy say "Pedersoli". Have a look and see what you think. If nothing else you will get an up close view of th...

kaschi

Boy, that is a nice one. I too hope there are other barrel length, straight stocked versions and other caliber choices.

kaschi

This past weekend I heard that Uberti is supposed to make a Winchester 1886 clone. Anyone have info about it?

kaschi

I had one in 22 Hornet about 15 yrs ago and sold it only because another shooting iron took its place. Great quality revolver as it always reminded me of a Ruger. After reading what Pete44ur wrote, my thinking was correct. I always wondered why Ruger never offered a Blackhawk in 22 Hornet.

kaschi

There was an article on the Model 89 in AR Magazine last month. It was in the Dope Bag section and was more of an evaluation typical of that part of the magazine. What caught my attention was the addition of the "trigger safety pin" (I really do not know what the thing is called) requiring...

@ GunnyMack: What a crock! That idea will never fly (or swim).

Besides snakes---any darn kind--- an croc is one animal I would have the greatest joy in planting a bullet into.

"Anything" with Trump would trump "anything" with Klinton.

kaschi

Oh, that's interesting. Thanks. But WHY is "Frontier Six Shooter" solely used for the 44-40?

kaschi

I had wanted one of their 444 Marlin versions then started hearing the horror stories. Figured it might be better to wait until they get things straighted out.

kaschi

Why was the term "Frontier Six Shooter" applied only to the 44-40 chambering in the Colt SAA? Do they still refer to and stamp SAAs with that designation on currently manufactured ones?

kaschi

…after rebate at CDNN in case anyone is looking for one. The ad mentions that the receiver is "machined steel". The BL22 was discussed here a couple of weeks ago.

kaschi

Can't top that blind joke but the strongest man at a German nudist beach is the one carrying a dozen doughnuts and two steins of beer.

…38-55 (along with the 30-30) for those of you who may be interested. I'd buy one of the 25-35's if it were true to pre 64 specs which is unfortunately not the case. Maybe the new Uberti 94 will be more true to original design.

kaschi

Interesting. Thanks!

kaschi

Is antelope meat more related to deer meat or goat meat?

kaschi

That is a really good idea. Thank you for the tip. I've been carrying my Seecamp 32acp in a DeSantis pocket holster that reminds me of your holster. Never gave it a thought to carry spare mags in one.

kaschi

Maybe Winchester will have Miroku make the 9422. I'm sorta surprised they have not done so yet.

kaschi

What are you guys filling the hole with where the sliding safety lever was? I've heard of these being filled by welding but then the receiver has to be completely reblued. Not so cheap from what I understand.
