Well, we are back home after 2865 miles of driving! I should have been a long distance trucker as I love driving over the road. We had an amazing week. Six folks hunting and all got "meat" deer on the first or second day. Then it was on to Buck hunting. The game cameras set up around the p...

I already have the rifle version in 38-40....Figured it needed a stable mate.....

And a 73 in 38-40

I wrote a little article on my web page about getting the most out of these inexpensive bore scopes

They are a great tool.........

I just got a flyer from Dixie Gun Works with some amazing deals....Being a sucker for ANYTHING in 38-40 they have the Uberti 1866 Carbine on sale for $825! Can't beat that with a stick.

Ordered one up lickity split! Never seen them prices anywhere that low for a brand new Uberti!

It's all about "Shelf Space" and every vendor wants as much as he can get

Well, I didn't get the 10 pointer. But my two hunting buddies scored big time! I had the bottom deer in my sights, but I had my Thompson Contender pistol and it was 217yds away. I was in a tree stand in a 25mph wind and couldn't keep it in the scope! I climbed down to try and stalk it but it moved i...

I've been told by some Winchester collectors that the drilled and taped holes might have been done at the factory. I'm going to get it "lettered" by Cody museum next week.

Thanks

Well....Took the old 1906 Winchester Model 94 out on Saturday to fill the freezer with Venison. Not 20 minutes in my stand and a nice tender doe wandered by. One shot with the 32 Special at a measured 114 yards / iron sights and she dropped like a sack of flour. 170g bullet at 1400fps did the job. h...

rbertalotto

My 94 take down in 32 Special has a Lyman a tang sight. Unfortunately the little flip down appeture reducer is missing. I'll make a replacement one of these days. I just took a whitetail doe with it at a measured 114 yds! Whole article about it on this link: http://rvbprecision.com/shooting/1894-win...

Thanks folks....anyone know...

A couple questions.....

Were these made in Japan or USA?

Were they only available with round barrel or was octagon offered?

I saw a Legendary Frontiersman at Cabelas in Wheeling on my ride out to Missouri. They had two, both new, in the box. $1099 and $1199. Not sure why one was $100 more. A couple questions.....

Heading out to MO on Thursday for a week of Whitetail madness! Venison in the freezer is getting low. Need to restock. A little 2200 mile ride separates my freezer from the deer! Using a 1894 Winchester in 32 Special and my home grown cartridge, "30 Something" in my Thompson Contender. Sho...

Fantastic!...I had and hunted with a 44 Magnum Super Blackhawk Hunter for a few years. Then I got a fantastic deal on a Freedom Arms #83 in 454 and never looked back. Killed a big bear with it (one shot to the back of the head) and a whitetail. Amazingly accurate firearm.......and a "Go Togethe...

Gopod Luck! I'm hunting with an old Winchester 1894 take-down in 32 Special this year. Put a three leaf sight on the oldgal and I'm good at 50, 100 and 200 yds! Hitting an 8" pie plate eveytime. http://images16.fotki.com/v382/photos/2/36012/11898451/DSC_5260-vi.jpg http://images46.fotki.com/v28...

OK, and now the good part........I only paid $750 for it. It was on the rack at a Cabelas Texas! The parts were worth more than that. I travel extensively on business.

Chiappa lever action rifles are "A Work In Progress"....You can buy them for very reasonable prices compared to the other options for an 1886. But I'd suggest you know how to work on a 1886/1892 action before you buy one. Before you shoot it, take it all apart and remove all hard edges fro...

Hi Folks! A few months ago I picked up a Winchester 1894 take down in 32 Special. I got it right as it was locked up solid and wouldn't come apart. I removed the wood and stuck it in a barrel of Kroil oil for a few day. It then came apart with ease. The bore is 99%. The action is tight and smooth. O...

I decided to modify my home built annealing machine to use one torch rather than two. Much easier to set up and much easier to control the heat on the cartridge neck.

No, just a cell phone holder with built in USB charge outlet.

I'm researching cell and WiFi boosters. I use a new Sprint Hotspot and no one makes a booster at this new high frequency yet. Might have to wait a while for the "Booster" industry to catch up.

I have a medical widget that uses a power adapter from 120v ac and drops it to 6v dc 600ma. What I'm confused about......is why did folks start talking about 9V You can use a power supply that is rated for more amps as long as it Is 9VDC. So a 9V/1000MA or 9V/1500MA supply would work, a 9V/350MA wo...

Please enlighten me, because obviously I should "stop it". By the way, what did you post here to answer the OP question, or just to troll and attack me? Steve, no one "attacked" you. We are just trying to get the correct information to the OP. He asked a simple question that was...

rbertalotto

Steve, please stop it. You are mistaken. A car battery can have 500 amps yet you can connect your CB radio to it which draws 2 amps at most. As long as the PS outputs more amps than needed, you are good to go. All electronics are indeed self current regulating. To much voltage will do damage. Not to...

They got back to me and made me a VERY fair offer on a new rifle. Now I need to decide if I want to spend that much on yet another gun.

Linda has been in constant contact with me. They are extremely sorry that this happened. They are falling all over themselves to make it right. They have offered me a new rifle at a large discount.

A "Real" one or a Japan one?

Well....I heard back from Legendary Guns...Seems when you buy a gun from them online, it doesn't matter if they can take it to a gun show a few days later and sell it there...You, my friend, are s out of luck!....Nice! Im afraid it sold at the show, but should another come in I will keep you in mind...

It lists the formula you cited. Dare I ask if you were actually using a can of TrailBoss, or did the math correctly? 14.5g of TB is about 75% of the case capacity.

Look for a good video camera tripod with a good fluid head. Hang something heavy from the center hook to stabilize it.
