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.

kaschi

He writes for another magazine too. Think it's American Handgunner?

kaschi

I still have gotten around to watching that story but tell me, which SNs of the 700 line were recalled for the safety issue? I have a BDL in 22-250 made sometime between 1967 and 1969 and a Classic in 17 Rem made in either 1998 or 1999. Hope they are not affected.

kaschi

I missed it but will watch it later online. Did anyone see it?

kaschi

---k --u Barry and good riddance…..

kaschi

He is probably my favorite author of all time as I've been reading his columns since the early 80s. His style of writing is so genuine. My prayers go out to him!

kaschi

I did it at that distance with my Model 14 in 35 Remington. It was a standing broadside shot. For that kind of set up, don't hesitate if you shoot the rifle well.

kaschi

That is a very unique looking revolver, especially the short version. By the way, on one of Jeff Quinn's video segments, he has shown one of these Uberti's which had the cylinder altered somewhat to accept 45ACP ammo in moon clips. He seemed to like that set-up.

kaschi

^^^ Yeah, how ' bout it! It does look dumb as hell. But now that they are actually making a 94, I'm going to write them a letter and say, "now that you actually make this model, please get the details right the same way you did with the 66, 73 and 76". By the way was that one pictured in t...

Don't know how to do links but you can find it like this:
Go to www. youtube.com and in the search filed type "SHOT Show 2017, Day 1-Gunblast.com" exactly as I put in quotations. It's located at 10:25 minutes.

kaschi

Just saw a short glimpse of Uberti's new copy of the Winchester 1894 on a youtube short video. It was on one of Jeff Quinn's Gunblast segments. From what I could see, it did NOT have a tang safety and it did NOT have angle eject for us purists. Let's wish them well with this project.

kaschi

I don't see why that wouldn't work.

kaschi

That is one pretty Schofield! I've always admired and considered buying this short barreled set up in the 45 Colt chambering. How do you guys feel the Uberti copies of the Schofield hold up as far as durability?

kaschi

FYI, there are stainless steel Rossi Model 92s also. I have one of their SRC's (pre bolt safety) in 44-40. Strikingly pretty carbine. Not sure if these (carbines) or rifles are still offered. Maybe the Italian made 92s come in stainless?

kaschi

Looks like you had a good time. I would have thought that the airlines would not have permitted reloaded ammo but obviously this was fortunately not the case.

kaschi

Sixgun, I'm totally with you on this topic.

kaschi

^^^ You're right about that Ji. I had that same query and IIRC it was Buck Elliot who confirmed it.

kaschi

I have a Shiloh Model 1874 Military Carbine in 50-70 and it is absolutely beautiful and a joy to shoot as well. Great quality workmanship in all respects.

kaschi

^^^ The name Cobra sounds "cool" and that's what sells to the younger generation. No matter what, I wish Colt all the best of luck for all their products. We can't afford to have another iconic gunmaker go under in this country.

kaschi

Those Big Horn Armory rifles and carbines are beautiful. This is probably a rumor but I heard they may also be offering these with straight grip stocks. Anyone else hear that? On a different note that Pedersoli 444 Marlin would be interesting.

kaschi

At a local Field & Streams here in PA they had Federal 325 rd bulk packs for $24.99 and only one other 22lr offering from Remington in the fancier 100 rd plastic box. Not exactly sure of the price though but believe it was $9.99.

kaschi

That's interesting about the Colt SAAs being dicey from about 1990-2000 regarding the quality control. Somehow I remember Mike Venturino writing about that for revolvers from the late 70s into the 80s. I could be wrong though. What I have taken note of is that on some of the websites selling firearm...

kaschi

How do you guys feel these two SA revolvers compare to one another in terms of quality? About 2010 not long before the company went out of business, I bought a US Firearms SAA (caliber 45 Colt) with 7 1/2" barrel. To my eyes it is a thing of beauty. From my understanding, it was completely made...

kaschi

This is why I do not get on scales!

kaschi

Lucky you getting to enjoy that fox. They are beautiful animals and I always wanted one for a pet.

kaschi

As far as lever guns go, I'm pretty devoted to Winchesters and their clones but if Marlin made a batch of 336s in 25-35 I'd buy one. Something unique like a stainless 336 Texan would really get my attention.

kaschi

What does "ftx" stand for?

kaschi

Here's a little update regarding the C. Sharps Arms 1885 High Wall. I communicated with them and got a response saying that IF their supplier can come up with a 9.3 caliber barrel, they could rent a chamber reamer and make it happen. So, we'll wait and see how that pans out. If a barrel can be acqui...

kaschi

I love your landscape out there. You mentioned you didn't see any buck but how is the deer and elk hunting overall in that area? Mule deer, whitetail or blacktail?

kaschi

Oh…… that's interesting/sad news that Ballard is out of business so it looks like I'll have to investigate the Sharps Arms rifles. Their website shows an array of caliber offerings (as well as other options). It also states the receivers on their rifles are 8620 hot rolled steel billet, then CNC mac...

kaschi

I've got the big brother Model 1910 in 401WSL. Very cool rifle.

kaschi

I'd really like to have an 1885 High Wall and was hoping to get some input about the ones Ballard Arms and C. Christian Sharps make. How do they compare to each other quality wise? Which one would you buy? The Japanese made Brownings get good reviews but I'd be interested in one of the above. Thanks.

kaschi

I'm pretty sure ALL the ones you listed are sadly out of production as of recently. When I heard that was to be the case, I bought a NIB 77/22 Mag, something I've been meaning to do for at least 25 years.

kaschi

If the caliber HAS to be from your list, I'd go with a Kimber 84M in 308 topped with a Leupold 2x7 scope. Overall the rifle is compact and light with a wood stock and the action uses the Mauser controlled feed/claw extractor. Safety is 3 position Winchester style. Doesn't get better than that! Now, ...

kaschi

I'm with Pete44ru on the straight grip idea. How easy is that to do on a Marlin 336?

kaschi

Gonna have to check out that Leupold rebate deal ASAP...only a few days left! I've had really good luck with their scopes over the years.

kaschi

I would have thought the JD 620 diesel is a 3 cylinder.

kaschi

Yes, "boot" IS what I was thinking but obviously didn't type!

kaschi

After the news about Ruger's discontinuing several Model 77 variants, including the 77/22 Mag, I grabbed one NIB. That's one rifle I've been meaning to buy for more than 20 yrs. Now it's scope buying time. What do you recommend? I'm leaning toward a fixed 4x but not as to which manufacturer to go wi...

kaschi

I wonder if the urologists in Britain say they want to check "in the trunk and under the bonnet???

kaschi

Just read this today. Don't know if that "temporarily" will turn into "permanently"....

kaschi

It would have been a nice touch if they had made it $4440 to keep the numbers easy to remember….. Man, that's a lot of money. But I will bet that no frills standard rifles and carbines will follow with more reasonable pricing.

kaschi

It would be economical in a revolver. You could at least gather up the empty cases, which is not easy to with a semi auto. Even finding larger cases (like 9mm) is not easy easy on grass. You'd never find any 25s.

kaschi

The good thing about these magazines (even with rehashed articles) is that we can hope that young shooters will discover and appreciate leverguns. It's not all about us and at some point there will hopefully be another generation who will carry on the tradition.

kaschi

How old is Soros now anyway? I'm getting so sick of hearing that wretched name that it will be good to hear it used in past tense form…..

kaschi

What about the reliability issue in small 45 acp pistols? Jeff Cooper always maintained not to trust any barrel length shorter than 4 1/4" (Commander length). Now, that was at a time when there were pretty much only 1911s around. So, do all other subcompact designs in 45 acp get the approval no...

kaschi

Thank you for sharing. I do like Model 70s and was glad to hear your experiences were positive.
