Unsalted eggs are better for you....

good one Blaine, everyone knows assault eggs make it easier to pepper the area

Since the bolt locks at the front, the new alloy guns are just as accurate as the steel frame ones. On the other hand they are lighter and so the recoil is generally a little sharper. I have 2 BLR's, both alloy frames. One is a 358 Winchester takedown and the other is a 300 Win Mag. Both are better ...

Good thing your family did not have a tradition of notchin the stock for every deer. Might need a new stock by now.

SJPrice

Thanks for the update and Thanks to the Lord for the improvement.

SJPrice

Sounds like an interesting project. And a great platform for cast lead loads.

SJPrice

While I agree that it is a shame that this deer died the way it did and ended up a waste, I would be slow to jump all over the hunter. A deer shot that far back can travel a long ways and the blood trail is not exactly optimal for tracking from that shot. There is very little blood even showing arou...

Thanks Griff for inviting me along! Had a great time and y'all don't let Griff fool you, he still moves pretty good and almost broke out into a lope a couple of times. I did take a liking to it and may or may not have stopped by the Academy Sports in Mesquite on the way home and picked up a new Glo...

It would be fine, but if it were me I would go with the advice of buying a box or two of the alternative shells like bismuth or Hevi-Shot loads.

SJPrice

Right back across the pond at you sir. I pray 2014 is a great year for you and yours as well.

SJPrice

I too can attest to Nate Kiowa Jones aka Steves Guns expert work on lever guns, especially Model 92 and 92 clones.

Remember the scene in Big Jake when John Wayne was eating the canned peaches and the message about where to deliver the money was delivered by Richard Boone?

Peaches always remind me of the old joke that is one of the first "naughty" jokes boys tell, "who found the fuzz on peaches?"

SJPrice

What a great way to start the day.

May your friend rest in peace and may God grant peace and understand to all the folks who will miss him here.

Merry Christmas Pitchy. I will remember you and your wife on Christmas eve when I hit my knees.

SJPrice

Thank you Dave and Merry Christmas to you and yours. With your permission I will print this out and take it with me to my family Christmas. I think it would be a great story to share with my nieces and nephews. It probably will not hurt the adults much either.

Thanks for taking a minute from family to post an update sir.

I think you may need a bigger gun.

Sounds like a SxS 28 gauge would be a good choice but I'd be happy with any of the above choices too. All the rabbits in my neck of the woods have died of the Chinese virus that is going around the UK :evil: but I used to hunt rabbits with a lever action .22 or my Cooey .410. Before I gave Shirley ...

Thank you all for the info so far. A conversation with Steve has led me to get on his Calender! Good decison! +1 He is a wizard on 1892's including the Chiappa. He did an early Armi Sport for me that was smooth as butter and when he was finished it would cycle even the extra long heavy weight cast ...

RESURRECTION! After all these years I've come to some slightly different conclusions on the cartridge/rifle. #1, it would be on an older Winchester Model 94 and be a button mag rifle with a ROUND barrel of no more than 24". #2, A thin rubber pad would be ok but I would prefer the checkered ste...

I can offer up some black rubber "mud" boots. They are pull on and shiny. As for regular black leather, mine are a little smaller than you need Grif.

Blaine, that is just wrong. Thanks for the Monday morning humor.

I use a williams fire sight and a Williams WGOS rear sight with a ghost ring. Williams also has a ghost ring with green fiber optic dot each side of center. Are you saying that the ghost ring has a fiber dot embedded in the ring on each side? I always understood the idea behind a ghost ring was to ...

. I changed the front sight on my .30-30 Trapper to a TruGlo FO sight several years ago, and just luv it. (There's a Lyman peep on the rear, though) . Yep, when your near vision starts to deteriorate the fiber optic sights are the way to go. Especially for short handy lever guns like trappers. A pe...

Doug - from looking at your pictures in this post one might get the impression you are ambidextrous. Nice rifles! .

Add a little mineral oil to a drain that is seldom used. The oil sits on top of the water in the trap and keeps it from evaporating.

SJPrice

Kitchens and bathrooms, especially bathrooms should be built with pressure washers in mind. All walls, ceilings, floors and fixtures should be able to stand up to commercial detergent and a steam pressure washer. Floor drains are a given.

Woke up at 4 AM for chores to find ice covered trees, rain and 31 degrees here in Texas east of Dallas. Finished up chores (the bad weather short version) and poured a cup of coffee to sit and enjoy the storm. Be safe and have a great day friends.

Thank you for the kind words. I have been meaning to document this project for a while now. I plan to keep the story in the gun safe and will pass it along with the rifle when the time comes. I will also update it from time to time to keep track of the activities where the rifle was involved. An old...

Several interesting things about mules. They are very smart, they have a good memories and they are vindictive. If this fellow treats his mule this way, one day the mule will return the favor.

This has been an on going project for quite some time. I wanted a big bore that would be fast handling and easy to carry. The obvious choice would be a lever action 45-70. I started with one of the early Marlin Guide Guns. A stainless steel model from back when they all came ported. That carbine hoo...

As others have said when it comes to optics it is all in the glass and you really do get what you pay for. I picked up a pair of Zeiss Victory RF 10x42's a few years ago and have never regretted it.

Predator hunting around here consists mostly of coyotes, ferrel dogs, skunks, coons and possums. And it depends on what I have in my hand at the time. Mostly it is one of three, 1886 Browning 45-70, 71 Browning 348 Winchester or 94 Trapper 30-30. In each case it is normal hunting loads.
