Thought I would pass this on to you levergunners. Know many of you here like Smith & Wesson revolvers, history and interesting stories. This post on the S&W Forum is one for the books. Surprise towards the end of the post. Enjoy. http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-hand-ejectors-1896-1961/26542...

GoatGuy

Nath, thank you so much for all your posts. All are interesting, well done and inspiring. This one makes me want to go ahead and spend the bucks on that Savage 93GL I've had my eye on. Ought to be the real deal for those 75-100 yard shots the wily crows present hereabouts. Most all my crow shooting ...

vancelw - Thinking seriously about going either Sat. or Sun. Can't spend the nite...no one to feed the dogs if I'm gone over night. If I run into you and the better half, I promise not to tell her about your real plan for your "weekend together".

I scored a Federal value pack of 525 rounds of .22 LR today. Glad I can reload 38 special cheap; it has replaced 22 LR as my 'plinking' caliber... Hey Mescalero, there you go ... life is good! Enjoy. Doc - I can't think of a better alternative plinking caliber, ...in fact it's always my 1st choice ...

GoatGuy

Mighty nice Blaine,... I know you're gonna love that shooter! Congratulations.:D Had a S&W model 25 with the 6" inch barrel. Wood case and all. Had the barrel cut to 4". Nice packing gun. Don't ask why I traded it off some 20 years ago. Couldn't tell you now why, or what for I ever mad...

GoatGuy

If you aren't in a hurry, I could be interested in it. Work has been slow the past year, I fell and injured my shoulder and back. I'm starting to get back to speed. If you still have it when I get caught up, we can discuss it if you'd like. That would be fine with me. Not in a major rush. Keeping m...

So, if I'm understanding your post correctly, you have in your possession a pre-lock 45 Colt mountain gun?

Yessir, it is a pre-lock .45 Colt Mountain Gun - - Model 625-7

Yep it goes quick thatway got tired of heating up a metal tank and dipping them.

Gosh, just read my post in response to Malamute's post in the .45 Colt tread I started yesterday. Seems a mite cantankerous and rude,... almost as if I was "channeling" 6ptSika. Anyways, sorry. Believe this winter's weather has become too much for this old feller. Cabin fever is a momma do...

GoatGuy

Admittedly, my mind tends to lean toward the simple, but I've not experienced the "problem child" aspect of the 45 Colt. I havent either. I've owned two Colt Buntlines, and several Rugers, both Blackhawks and Vaqueros, all shot from good to outstanding. I don't think the Lipseys guns have...

GoatGuy

Lastmohecken - I use 158 grain, copper plated round nose flat points and 2400 powder in my .357 Rossi '92 for plinking and practice. About 1,600+ fps I figure. They work fine for me. Would use a similar profiled factory load for medium size game, like the 180 grain Winchester Partition Gold. Would b...

GoatGuy

Sounds like a S&W issue, not a 45 Colt issue. + 1 indeed +2. A gun issue, not a cartridge issue. I've got 4 .45Colt revolvers, 2 Colt SAAs and two import clones... none have this problem. That'd be like blaming the .44RemMag cartridge for Rossi's oversized chambers. Doesn't track. Well Griff, I...

GoatGuy, An old N.M truckers poem: weather may come and weather may go, but this is New Mexico........... and that --------- wind is going to blow!

10-22, Stainless w/laminate stock. Works for me.

GoatGuy

Isn't half the fun tinkering with them, who in there right mind would want a shooter perfect right out of the box. Besides all the young'uns now days think the revolvers dead anyway. Nope -- I'd be satisfied if my $1000 revolver was good to go out of the box Streetstar - NOW THAT'S what I'm talkin'...

GoatGuy

I understand that feeling. Sometimes it's tough butchering an animal off your place and think about making meals from from it. That feeling passes pretty quickly when you later sit down at the dinner table, however.

GoatGuy

Lastmohecken - Great pictures. Man what a great looking '73. Glad it shoots good for you. Bet you'll hang onto that one for a long time. Since we are more or less neighbors I'd sure like sometime to take a gander of that one in the "flesh", so to speak. Congratulations on a beautiful carbi...

I hate cancer! stupid for me to say, but it's high time the medical/research community discovered how to lick the horrible disease. All that rant aside, YK, I'll be sending prayers for the family, and that the Lord receives her within his peaceful kingdom.

Mescalero says - "GoatGuy, Good to hear from you." Thanks sir, it's good to be here. Haven't been on the site much lately, but do check in on occasion. Holler at me some time. Now - More thoughts on the winter weather from my prospective. Currently, 20 degrees and sunny here as I type this...

Yessir Paladin, your day for sure. Have a good one.

8 degrees, wind chill -6 degrees at 7 a.m. this morn. Sunny and 19 degrees at this time. 2" sleet underneath 4" snow. Strange weather system yesterday when the sleet began. Can't remember ever noting the like in my lifetime: thundersleet! Really heavy thunder, but sleeting like crazy. Like...

JerryB - When you've become an accomplished caster, maybe you'll invite me over and give me a "kick start" back to casting. Did some back in the early 80's, (that's 1980's for those of you who are wondering

) but sold all my stuff and think now I might like to get back into it.

GoatGuy

Mescalero - Your Star looks like a good piece! Also think you're on the right track with what you want to do to the finish, and I like your idea of replacing the maple for mesquite grip panels. Looking forward to a picture of the finished project.

it is well to remember that the "chasing brass" thing was a feature, because while the pistolero was backing out the 5 cases from his SA, the 1911 guy is already dumping the second magazine. NOT having to fiddle with the brass was a HUGE tactical benefit, besides the ability to get off 15...

I'm not referring in this post specifically of a one handgun scenario for a person. I would think it foolish if not imprudent for a person to voluntarily own only one handgun. Further, I hold no real animus for single action handguns. Lord knows I had enough to fill near a half bushel basket full ov...

Think you're right on with your selection. Good rig! I have the Lee Turret and have no problems. I highly recommend it and a couple of my buddies have bought one and they like it as well.

Mescalero, I know Snow Lake and that really nice country in the Gila Natural Forest. Never lived in that country but hunted a great many times on a ranch that bordered the Gila Wilderness.

Wow!! Sorry to bother, but have have to tell what I just witnessed. Wild! Watching a group of Mallards through my spotting scope feeding in the 1/3 acre pond some 50-60 or so yards off my front porch. Four drakes and four hens. There is another group of 15 in the pond, but don't know what kind. Not ...

Went to see "Lone Survivor" this past Saturday. Got there for the 1:05 pm matinee showing. Was somewhat embarrassed to ask for the senior discount off my ticket, as I think of myself as a pretty vigorous, cool old dude. Did so however, and saved 50 WHOLE CENTS off the regular price of $7.5...
