Amen Bullet Bob. I stupidly sold mine and deeply regret it.

Lawyer Daggit

Original Leatherman tool ( a lot of the later ones strike me as to big and bulky) and Smith and Wesson 's.w.a.t. first milennium run' OR if hunting, a synthetic handled puma folding knife. Lately I have been carrying a little Buffalo River folder that is of surprisingly good quality given its price ...

J Miller is right- spend long enough with the pile and one of them WILL speak to you- do not look superficially at them- handle each, look at the wood work and the odd campaign scar that each will have earned along its way, some actions will feel better than others. Do not get to caught up with peep...

I figure if a situation arises where a military semi auto is necessary it will wind up being issued, or an opportunity shall arise where I can get my hands on one. I also view the world stage issues likely to call for a firearm to be ecomomic. I figure my MLR .308 and 94 in .30-30 would be the guns ...

I agree with Hobie- I have owned and used a post 64 model 94 and handled and shot many others. I have owned, extensively used and regretably sold, a B92 in .357 and handled and shot a B92 in 44 magnum. The guns are apples and oranges. The B92 is far better made and I also believe the B92 smoother to...

I had a BLR in the 80's and got rid of it because of the projecting magazine. I recently purchased a MLR (same gun just branded Miroku). I cannot say enough good things about it.

In fact I think I will be doing the bulk of my deer hunting in future with it.

Lawyer Daggit

I would have thought the Makarov would be a good military pistol for second echelon troops- light, and only a little behind the 9mm para. Infact if loaded down with kit, I would rather carry a Makarov and a granade than a full size pistol, as the pistol on the battlefield is really only a last ditch...

Lawyer Daggit

Glad you got a good one. I found one produced in 1963 in excellent condition last year.

Good 94's are getting hard to find.

Lawyer Daggit

I did a lot of agonising over this. I was looking for a 17 HMR to use and stumbled on a 9417. I also have a 9422M that I have used since my 18th birthday (I'm now 52). One of my deer rifles is a 94 carbine manufactured in 1963- just before Winchester bastardised the line and is in excellent conditio...

Lawyer Daggit

Nicely done, but detracts from the guns visual appearance on the Left Hand side. Saddest thing about scoping some lever actions and bold actions.

Lawyer Daggit

We have a system in Australia where motorists are flagged down for a random breath test. They are then asked to breathe into a machine which indicates their blood alcohol level. (I understand this method would probably violate US probable cause laws- which we do not have here) If it is over .05 they...

Great photos. My son is adopted, we picked him up on Valentine's day five years ago in the Philippines. We plan to go back for holidays when Jesse gets older.

Philippino's are great family people and this certainly comes across in your photos.

Which Island were you on?

A single shot is a reliable weapon. remember, speed is fine, accuracy is final.

Lawyer Daggit

Winchester 71( or clone) in 375 JDJ.

Lawyer Daggit

Not necessarily a bank clerk, could be a young man and his skin has not developed that lived in look yet.

I get the feeling however that he is not normally given to wearing a gun. Seems to be carrying it high- perhaps a bit un-naturally so, but maybe its just me.

Had a client in the box giving evidence once who said ' I reversed the Beetle out of the parking spot and when I looked to see if anything was coming it already had'.

The swede round is very similar to the 7x57 mauser and would be an excellent gun for your girlfriend.

Lawyer Daggit

Hi Mr Miller, thanks for your comments. I have often seen Colt 45 chamberings that also take .410 (ie Contender Carbine) and have thought "mmm very handy'. Do you know what hot rodding the round do to its pressure curve? I have not seen any literature on this (not that you can go too hot in a c...

Lawyer Daggit

I agree with Hobie- with lever guns or other brush guns it comes down to 'what feels right'- it is that shotgun like feel that will enable you to take a quick shot.

Lawyer Daggit

.375 H&H. I have a light weight Rem Mod 7 .350 Rem mag that with hot 250 grain loads raises the eyebrows and brings tears to the eyes if you don't work up to it grain by grain....

Lawyer Daggit

I have recently acquired a BLR (actually an MLR- Miroku Lever Action rifle) but they are the same as the BLR other than name. The gun balances like a traditional lever action. I am loathe to scope lever actions, even those chambering high power rounds as I feel it is inconsistent with the looks and ...

Lawyer Daggit

I had a Browning .357. Because handgun hunting is not allowed in Australia it was a pretty useless calibre being good at only limited range. Had I had a .357 handgun however it would have been a keeper. Between the .30-30 and .357- if you are into plinking the .357 would be a lot cheaper to feed, if...

Lawyer Daggit

I have been shooting a 9422 since my 18th birthday (i'm 51 this year) in Australian hot and dusty conditions the rifle has never malfunctioned. Although I keep it clean.

Lawyer Daggit

I also like 'weird' stuff. Bolt action carbines with short whispy barrels, .35 cal firearms and craziest of all as far as some of my 'akkrasy' loving mates are concerned, lever action rifles or light whispy carbines in .35 cal. I say enjoy your weird european bolt action rifle and don't worry about ...

Lawyer Daggit

In "Unforgiven" one of Little Bill's lawmen mention the unavailabity of 30-30 ammo. No wonder it is unavailable, the movie is set in the early 1880's, as evidenced by English Bob's discussion of the shooting of President Garfield. I love this movie, but that line really irks me everytime I...

Lawyer Daggit

Are they three cold steel trout and bird knives on the left hand side of the rack? Great looking and totally functional knife- but one I have always had difficulty sharpening. Is there a secret?

Lawyer Daggit

I already have a Lyman on another lever action and have nothing against them, they work well for me. My '63 made 94 is drilled and tapped for Lyman type sights. My enquiry was based on having seen something different and thoughts about experimentation. It was concerns about the effect of increased e...

Lawyer Daggit

Waz- it is illegal in many states and territories. Of course it is easy to have a reason! Makes it hard to justify carrying sheath knives or more combative knives, but if you are not living in a bad area of a major city- where the local cops will have a zero tolerance policy, it is pretty easy to wo...

Lawyer Daggit

I notice the Winchester site lists this year a light grade 86 Winchester in 45-70. Since all a 71 is is an upgraded 86 in .358 this gun may fulfill the needs of many. The 71 Winchester has become a cult gun, especially in the North where people respect its power and ergonomics. Original 71's are get...

Lawyer Daggit

Damn- I have held it in too long fellas. Someone has to stick up for the dog.
remedy: Glock 40 and box of hydrashocks.

Lawyer Daggit

The rifle will certainly help get him on his feet again- he now has a varmint / survival gun (M16) and a deer gun. He is well on the way to being back in business.

Lawyer Daggit

Yes please, could be an interesting read, and if it is not too difficult, a good project.

Lawyer Daggit

ow does this sight work for you. does the eye relief pose a rpoblem it all.

Lawyer Daggit

As well as a few other surprises. I wonder when a genuine Winchester 71 will follow....

Lawyer Daggit

Mine is a carbine made in 1963 in excellent condition. I think with on going production changes that would off occurred with the marque, mine represents probably the high point. being the last of the pre 64's.

Lawyer Daggit

The movie was too long, and because they accepted money from a tourist commission of one state or other, they went overboard on tourist shots.

As a bit of good clean entertainment, an 'Australian western' if you like, it was OK, but of this genre I preferred Crocodile Dundee.

Lawyer Daggit

Turn off the caps lock when posting. Writing in capitals is called 'shouting' in internet circles and is considered bad manners. While I do not need to justify myself, the reason I want to 'try something new' is that I just enjoy experimenting and usually have a firearms 'project' on the boil. I hav...

Lawyer Daggit

I have a Winchester 94 .30-30- one of the last pre 64 guns produced. It is in excellent condition, so I do not want to drill it or play around with its looks much. I do not like Tang sights, and want to try something different to a lyman / williams- I am thinking of the onewholesight or the skinner ...

Lawyer Daggit

I think a few other rounds like 375 JDJ are needed if they want the firearm to thrive.
.348 case availability is now a problem.
Any idea on price?
I tried finding it listed on the Pedersoli site and could not find it. I would be obliged if you could post the link.

Lawyer Daggit

Original leatherman, swiss army knife (One made for Beretta) and at least one folding knife- usually a Smith and Wesson (so called swat model) a Gerber 110 is often substituted for the latter.
