Even an old Limey like me can appreciate that! Thanks for posting Jay. :D Have you read Craig Ferguson's book, "American by choice"? I just saw it in the bookstore yesterday, and liked the title. A lot of us are born here, but he CHOSE to be an American, and seems like he's darn proud to ...

Doc,

I LOVE that story; I have it bookmarked in my copy of "Sixguns". Being as it's early in the morning, and I haven't slept all night, I might just go reread it!

Travis Morgan

Most of the people I've heard bragging on them impressed me as being occasional shooters at best. I don't see any real advantage, accuracy wise. The only advantage I see is that the flex tip might make them open up better.

Seems like I heard they were farming them out.

Travis Morgan

Yep. the .22 works just fine........ when you have a pack of dogs! Elmer Keith didn't recommend it.

Wow! And she came with a free shotgun?

Travis Morgan

Just to clarify, which cartridge are we talking about? I'd hate to give you .44 mag data for something smaller.

Travis Morgan

AT&T and Verizon both offer wireless netbooks that use cellular service. They're about $300 with a 2 year contract, but I think they'd be handy. Disk drives are peripheral.

Travis Morgan

Where the HELL was the public outcry on this? I need to find out who wrote the bill, who sponsored it, and what butt signed it! I'd be willing to bet Sebelius did it. She's NOT the health and human services secretary we need.
"Welcome to the machine"

Travis Morgan

That's another thing that bugs me..... who IN HELL thinks the lion will be there when they get back with a bigger gun? Chances are, if you don't look at him for 5 minutes, you won't be able tell where he went, unless you're a good tracker. Lions are rarely seen in lion country because they're so elu...

Travis Morgan

I'm sick of "maybe" and "someday" and putting someone else first EVERY time I have a choice to make. I'm gonna go enjoy MY life, not watch someone else's from the stands.

Travis Morgan

I'm in Wichita, Ks., right now. I was raised about a half hour from here, but have lived all over. Once this divorce is over, I want to move back to ranching country and enjoy life again. I miss working outdoors with animals and being able to step out the door with a rifle to hunt when I darn well p...

Travis Morgan

Hey Ed, ya wanna go shootin' today? It's awful nice weather and I was at the CTAGA range yesterday for Women on Target, and it's not muddy.

Travis Morgan

How's my day going? I'm getting a divorce. My wife has all the money tied up. I'm still unable to work and have no income. My car tags are expired. The friend that's putting me up wants me to move. Got a call from the guy boarding my horse, and apparently, she's being evicted. I had to shoot my dog ...

Travis Morgan

Showman. A real cowboy would never carry that much ammo on his belt, and if he did, not on such a narrow belt, as it'd make you sore. As for wear on the chaps, that isn't that big of a deal. Guys that only ride an hour every coupla days can put that much wear on a pair of chaps.

Travis Morgan

Unfortunately many states now have made it a felony to shoot stray dogs and cats. MO and KS are included in that list. We did it all the time growing up. Especially the packs of wild dogs that were 3 or more generations wild. I doubt if any of the states have a solution to this problem, just expect...

Travis Morgan

PMC sells lead bullet ammo for .30-30's, too. I've seen people try to run those in Marlins and they start flinging bullets out in all sorts of directions.

Travis Morgan

I haven't hit any game with the 30-30, but at the range I thought the 170's dropped quite a bit (Remington factory) compared to the 150's. The 170's reminded me of 35 Rem. Since the idea is to have a flat-shooting rifle, I went with the 150's. Then the state of CA made the choice for me (150 grain ...

Travis Morgan

Steve,

Let her have her fun! Just buy her a rake... and a slicer and jerky maker for yourself.

Travis Morgan

An Animal deserves to be shot cleanly. .22 on a Lion is butchering. It´s untehic. Apart from a slow death, he risked an even slower death of the animal, if he couldn´t fire several times. The ONLY justification would be in Self Defense or Defense of another Human Being! Hermann P.S.: if hunting wit...

A friend of mine from church was telling me a story about a hunting partner of his. The friend has a ranch and was driving to a tank with a 22 to shoot some frogs for dinner. He saw a Mountain Lion in an over hanging tree stalking one of his Herefords getting a drink. He pulled up put out his rifle...

Travis Morgan

Would you mind sharing your cast bullet load for that range? I've not really done as much testing for CB as I should. I could use some .30-06 cast loads, too.

In reality, it's probably just you, madman, and one other guy I can think of. Everyone else is probably just ignoring this childish, pedantic rant.

Travis Morgan

Even during the worst of times last winter and this spring, .30-30 ammo was available, and at a reasonable price.

Travis Morgan

I'm glad you two found each other. Now if the third triplet will just meet up with you.....

Travis Morgan

Basically, it sounds like you're one of those rich guys that can't do anything for yourself but spend money and brag or whine about it. Do you even shoot? Feel free to ignore me and never talk to me again. People like you are the bane of my existence and a PITA.

Travis Morgan

Marc,

I could tell you the stuff I do with open sighted leverguns, but you'd probably not believe me. I WILL tell ya though, that 200 + yard shots are entirely doable with a Henry H001 .22 LR. Mine will keep the shots in a gopher hole at that distance.

Travis Morgan

I've never had the Mernickle holster, but Simply Rugged makes a fine holster for this purpose as well. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1584/6553559/12658939/374730338.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1584/6553559/12658939/374730340.jpg Could you please post pics of how this holster looks while...

Doc Hudson, Well put; I have nothing to add, other than total agreement. I had to LOL at the "horsehair belt" comment; I love mine, but the darn thing's worthless. If you cinch it too tight, it cuts you in half. If you try to hang anything on it, it twists, flops, and causes you to get sor...

Travis Morgan

When did this turn into AR-15.com or sassnet.com? I'm sure Black Harris will be along to tell everyone that if they don't grow a ponytail, start dressing like it's 1880 and start calling everyone "pard" they're out.

I'd like to see/handle/shoot/own one of these conversions.

Travis Morgan

Well, just remember; YOU KNEW gunsmithing was only his sideline. YOU wanted a bargain. You got it. He's trying to make it right. Don't be a jerk.

Travis Morgan

Marc, I didn't say the .30-30 was gonna knock anything on it's butt or that it was a long range gun. It's just handy as hell and perfect for the guy that gets to know it intimately. The trajectory can be a bit tricky, but then, I carried one every day, everywhere for a darn long while. You get to kn...

That was my first stop, even before posting this.

Welcome Mike, I've always wanted to do that very thing. Just never could part with the funds to do it. I wanted mine in a Browning 1886...but you know how it goes... And Travis, I've had two out of the box Mod 70's that with nothing more than a trigger adjustment went well under MOA. for a 3 shot s...

Travis Morgan

270 gr. Keith bullets and 16.5 gr. of 2400.

Travis Morgan

When it came out, the .30-30 was lauded as the new "super magnum" of it's day; when the .357 came out, shooters were warned that they had better hold on tight, else they'd "break their hand". Both are now considered anemic by people who might shoot two game animals in their life....

Travis Morgan

That's what Marlins are for; barf all over 'em and nobody cares.

Travis Morgan

I had one. It worked just fine, but I sold it. I just didn't care for it. I could hear it rattle when I carried it on my hip while walking at night. That said, it shot fine, didn't hang up, and was fairly accurate. It balanced about like a *******' bent T-post, though. I miss my Sig 220.

Travis Morgan

There are differences in the length of 45/70 and 50/110 (2.1"/2.4"). This does require some internal action work. All of the family of 1886 cartridges used the same rim diameter, .608 to .610, so the bolt face is OK as is. The 50/110 case length is approximately the same as the 40/82 and ...

Travis Morgan

The Blackhawk WILL work, but a the 3 1/2" Vaquero works better. I especially like my Sheriff's model; nicest carrying gun I own.

Hell, doctors in a room full of professionals remove the wrong limb or do the wrong surgery all the time! Stuff happens.

Travis Morgan

I would guess it would depend on wether you have that hollow above your belt to tuck that piece into. There are inside waistband holsters available. Me, I haven't seen that hollow place for probably 30yrs now!!! You can still see it if you set a mirror on the floor and prop it up against the wall! :D

Travis Morgan

I'm leaving Wichita for Colby, Ks. tomorrow afternoon and will have an afternoon to kill while my GF does some stuff for work. Then, we're off to Champion, Ne.. Anyone near Colby wanna go shootin' tomorrow?

I'd also be happy to thin out the coyote or prariedog population.

Travis Morgan

Just poking you a little; people hear "hog hunting", and decide they need a field cannon.

Travis Morgan

We've killed plenty of 200 lb. hogs. Stick a .22 in their ear and pull the trigger.

A buddy of mine owns a pawn shop, and he routinely RAPES people on gun deals. I mean so bad I wanna kick his butt over it.

Well, maybe some of the Marlin fans will need to be shown the light...

Oh yeah; I went there.
