So what is the 'official' word on this...? Say you wind up in Heaven, and you're sitting around chatting with a couple other dudes who seem nice-enough. One of them is a guy who lived a sin-free life and spent most of it helping other people live righteously, another is a guy who dipped into the bo...

I use a small primer pocket reamer made by Lyman. I don't have the swaging tool, so I can't speak as to how that works, but the reamer works fine for me.

I've been there, more than once. It's tough, but it always seems to work out better in the end. You certainly have my prayers.

I like to grill mine. I cut the wing tips off, and usually cut them at the joint also. Then I will season them with some Lawry's seasoned salt and throw them on the grill. I finish them a couple different ways, depending on how many people I'm cooking for and what mood I'm in. I either grill them ti...

I may have to play with it in my 30-30, but I have never been confident enough to push the Alox that fast. I had some leading issues in my .44 magnum that deterred me from trying it in rifles. I use it almost exclusively for my .45 ACP though. I will have to try the method of heating it and dipping ...

I have always found that the best way (for me) to get past the loss of a dog is to get another. I have never been more than 2 weeks without a dog my entire life.

shooter

I love dogs of all kinds, mainly the larger breeds. I am most partial to retrievers, either Labs or Goldens. I have one of each. With any dog, you have to let them know who's in charge, and be consistent with what you expect of them.

I have never had any trouble in any of the hotels I've stayed in, but it is my understanding that it is perfectly legal to possess firearms in your hotel room, as it is your domicile for the duration of your stay. It's just like having them in your house. This is the law in New Mexico, at least. I w...

It would have to have a pretty slick action job by a competent gun smith, and probably a few more upgrades for me to even entertain $900. I have a Bisley in .45 Colt that has an action job, free spin pawl, oversize base pin, was Taylor throated, and bead blasted stainless finish all done by David Cl...

shooter

I just have a Single Six and a Henry lever action. I love both.

shooter

That is pure beauty right there

I think the .308 is just about the perfect cartridge for hunting in the lower 48. Recoil is less than a 30-06, but you don't lose much power by dropping down to .308. The guns chambered in the caliber come shorter and lighter because of the action. If you reload, you use less powder than with the bi...

In that case, I retract the AI part of my scenario.

shooter

Old Savage, why don't you ask a harder question? :wink: I don't even know where to begin on the perfect 30-30, and what I think is perfect you may absolutely hate. I like both Marlins and Winchesters. If being scoped I'd definitely go Marlin because of the side eject. I like the slimmer look and the...

A good friend of the family was a government trapper up in Fannin County, Texas for years back in the 60's, 70's, and maybe even the very early 80's. He used to use the cyanide guns for coyotes. I don't know if they were the 38's or 44's, but I was under the impression both were outlawed now. Guess ...

shooter

I haven't looked for .22 specifically lately, but everything else seems to be dried up. This same thing happened right after Obama was elected the first time. .22 was sold out everywhere for nearly a year, and when you could find it, it was $20-$25 per 500. Eventually things settled down and availab...

I know this has nothing to do with this post but I have never seen so many people with bad backs. Most of the guys I work with are semi-invalids. I'm 58 and my back is as good as it was when I was 18 and I lived pretty much of a reckless life.-------6 My back was good to go until 11 months ago when...

shooter

Nice box, Pitchy. I just have one question. How is that lock supposed to keep people out if you keep the key tied to it?

shooter

They work pretty good for me. The way they work best for me is to invert for about thirty seconds, then go back to an upright position for 10 seconds. Repeat that process for about 10 minutes. My chiropractor explained to me that doing it that way pumped fluids back into the disk better than simply ...

shooter

Pretty much all of the guns I own would be hard to part with. Maybe I have a "hoarder" mentality when it comes to my firearms, but I develop an emotional attachment to almost every one of them. Most of mine were either bought from a family member, given to me by a family member, or left to...

shooter

I can swing it if you need someone. If not, no biggie. I'm fairly close and am free most days after noon.

shooter

I enjoy working with leather and making knives. Besides those, guns are just about my only hobby. I dabble a little in making bows and piddling around with other stuff. Then there's reloading and bullet casting.

shooter

I would sand off all of the polyurethane that is on there now. Paint doesn't stick well to slick surfaces. Shoot a primer coat and follow any of the above mentioned directions. A final urethane coating will give the paint extra protection from scuffs and scratches. I've done several guns this way an...

A few years ago while taking care of my great grandmother's house after she went to live with my grandparents, I had a squirrel infestation in the attic. I kept the pellet gun by the front door and killed 11 in 2 mornings. I hope you squash this problem before more decide to take up residence. I hat...

I suppose it was a walk-in. It walked right by the window while I was in the office.

shooter

Griff, I'm about 15 miles south of you outside Forney. I can hear the 'yotes pretty often when I go outside at night, and my wife saw one a few houses down from us the other night. Too bad I can't shoot 'em in my neighborhood..... On a side note, I saw a pretty good sized bobcat at the doctor's offi...

I just bought an upper assembly from them. Everyone else is right, they are SLOW, and customer service is not up to par either. Never could get anyone on the phone, and they never returned my calls. They always returned my emails, but it usually took a day or three. They make a good product. In fact...

Trimming brass is a PITA, at least to me. I hate it. Glad you got it done. Now go have some fun!

shooter

This is an awesome thing you're doing. It stinks to spend the holidays alone, unless that's your thing. To each his own. It really does take a special type of person to offer their time and home to people for the holidays. Don't see that much anymore.

shooter

I never want to have to pull the trigger on someone, ever. That being said, If it is in defense of mine or my family's life I will not hesitate to do so. I'm not the one that needs to think about the aftermath. The person making the decision to commit violence against me needs to think about the aft...

I'm in on the mescal. I don't like it as much as tequila, but it is similar.

shooter

I very rarely drink liquor, but I'm with FWiedner, my preferred is Patron Anejo. I can do a good spiced rum every once in a while, like Captain Morgan private stock, or the dark Bacardi, but I usually mix those with Coke. For a smooth sippin' whiskey Pendleton is the best I've found so far. I went t...

My wife has never seen the original Dallas series, but has gotten hooked on the remake. Larry Hagman died at the hospital my wife works at, and was there for several days before. She got to see some of the cast members which she thought was pretty neat except for the circumstances.

I'm out on the decorating. I love Christmas, but I don't get into the whole decorating thing. We brought one of our friends' daughter home after church on Sunday. I went to the gun show and her and my wife decorated. Win-win for me

Had a Samsung Galaxy and liked it pretty well. No complaints. Got an Iphone 5 and I love it. I use my phone to talk, text, the occasional picture, and listening to music. Not much else. The Iphone does the picture and music better than any other phone I've ever owned. I don't run out and get a phone...

Dwight used to be pretty famous on the music scene. I guess he still is with the female crowd, age 40-60. For some reason the ladies love him. He seems to be more into movies than music these days. Seen him in quite a few the last several years. Personally I never cared much for him. Then again I do...

shooter

Griff, I just purchased an AR a couple months ago in anticipation of this election. I've never been a fan as far as having fun shooting them. Like you, it ain't my kinda fun. I do appreciate them for their practical value as a survival/battle type rifle, which is why I bought it instead of some othe...

shooter

I have one Mora knife. I'm not savvy about all the differences in the different knives, but this one has a black handle and is carbon steel. Very sharp, holds a good edge, and seems pretty sturdy. It is probably one of my top 3 knives. Looks like you got yourself a good one.

shaalu shalom yerushalayim "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem". The sign off line for one of my favorite biblical teachers, Zola Levitt. They can always use some prayer over there.

Best show on tv, IMO. Clean and funny. Those guys look like they have a ton of fun.

1st get a couple of different reloading manuals. The Lee and Lyman manuals are excellent for information on cast bullets. Hornady, Speer, etc., seem to lean more toward jacketed stuff. As stated before, most manufacturers push their own products. Lee and Lyman sell bullet molds, and Hornady and Spee...

Some of you may know, and others not, that I'm currently recovering from back surgery. It has been a tough road and hasn't gone as anyone expected. It's been a much more difficult recovery than anticipated. I had nerve damage after the surgeon had to go in 3 days after my initial surgery to remove a...

shooter

One thing I think some of the folks are addressing in their answers is the idea that perhaps it isn't needed that the handgun and levergun use the same ammo anyway, unless you're time-traveling back 150 years and in remote areas. A centerfire levergun and rimfire handgun, or vice-versa makes LOTS o...

Nice deer. I hope I can get on some this year. I struck out on my New Mexico mulie hunt, so now I have to find a place to get on a whitetail so I can not mope around for the next year

Good huntin'!

That's a sharp lookin' knife (no pun intended.....well, maybe there is)

Oly, I think you are pretty much right in your assessment. The pendulum does swing back and forth, and we've been building for a while. One point I might differ on is that I tend to think when the pendulum slows it will come to a halt quickly. There seems to me to be evidence of a snowball effect he...

I believe in Biblical prophecy, and believe that every single word has either already came to pass, or will come to pass. However, I don't spend much time or energy trying to sort it all out and make predictions, as I believe it impossible to predict exactly when or how it is all going to play out. ...

That is amazingly beautiful. The '73/'76 is one of my favorite rifles to look at, especially with engraving like that.

Sometimes things don't go exactly the way we want. IMO, you weren't trying to intentionally maim or torture the animal, and it is a pest, so it's not that big a deal. While we should all try to end an animal's life as quickly and humanely as possible, that can't always happen. I would venture a gues...
