Looks like the flooding is going to be the biggest cause of damage. A foot of rain and feet of snow further west...

O.S.O.K.

Beautiful. Hard to think that it's snowing up there while it's in the 60's here. I am enjoying the cool weather though - back in Texas where I moved from it would stay warm all winter. Gets cool for a few months here and I like it :) Pitchy - hope to see a post of your buck hanging after a successfu...

O.S.O.K.

Hope they don't mix too much of the beer with the revolver (!). Mostly concerned about the bf - I'm sure the daughter is well trained

O.S.O.K.

I think they're just a fun range toy really as there are so many other better options for "social" and protective work... I have seen threads where people are showing decent accuracy at 50 yards and in but I don't know how quickly the action can be cycled... some owners will pipe up soon I...

O.S.O.K.

As a southerner that has been though some real hurricanes, I can't help but pick on the yankees a bit for the reaction to this "barely over tropical storm" that you're getting. Especially since I remember people (not you guys!!) saying that they shouldn't be held financially responsible fo...

O.S.O.K.

I've got a few loads still of the hot rod level and I'll shoot em up but once they're done, I'm going to work up a nice load for deer hunting - like the 1200 fps load listed by rocksteady. Maybe up to around 1400 but no faster. It just plain hurts to shoot with the full bore loads and I won't be goi...

O.S.O.K.

I've got one but it's a NEF Handi :P Star Line brass, H110 and Lee 440 gas check cast. Here's the boolit next to a Lee 310 44 and a Lyman 35 cal IIRC - Berry's 350 grain bullet in the case. http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2766/4414929568_7710e3b4e3_z.jpg Hurts my shoulder and I'm not what you call rec...

O.S.O.K.

I also know the sickness

There's a perfect condition Norinco SKS with bayo and everything sitting on the local pawn shop rack that keeps calling to me... $300 - which is a fair price. Not a steal but it keeps calling, calling.

O.S.O.K.

Godspeed Dixieboy! Texas will be gaining a great teacher!!

And madman - you're a very good man.

In fact, as we can see here, once again, the board is full of em.

O.S.O.K.

No flies on the standard 30-30, but if you want some more poop, this is an economical way to do it.

O.S.O.K.

Yes - I've done this and using the same propellant that I use with 30-30 get 150-200 fps or so faster velocities. This is W748 and IMR 3031. I am sure going with RL15 or other similiar, I could improve on this. The 30-30 AI is one of the best AI's to do in terms of real velocity increase. Ditto for ...

O.S.O.K.

Very nice.

You can use that in Mississippi duing the muzzle loader season. Just thought you'd like to know that

O.S.O.K.

Very good to hear that! More prayers added

Split the difference! I forgot about the 3x. That was before the 2 or 4 I think...

O.S.O.K.

OS is that a K-2 Weaver in the middle of your "options"?

That and the K-4 are both classic lever scopes.

O.S.O.K.

Bingo! This one has the "European" reticule too - which is just a heavy reticule which I like!

O.S.O.K.

There seems to be some consensus... here's one of mine:

That's the only scoped Marlin I have - the rest are open sighted.

O.S.O.K.

Range Report: Fired three, three round salvos at 50 yards. Sat behind my tractor's grater blade and used it as a rest. I was not as rock steady as shooting off of a set of bags from a bench, but it was good enough to give me an idea of sighting and accuracy with the chosen load. Here's the target: h...

O.S.O.K.

The 30 Carbine generates about 836 ft lbs of energy out of a M1. It is actually quite a bit less energetic than a .357 Magnum from a carbine which gives over 1100 ft. lbs. In it's fmj guise, it will penetrate quite well, but the wound channel will be realatively small. With soft points, that penetra...

O.S.O.K.

I'm going to say around $600. The older, VG condition ones in like 30-30 and 303 Sav are going for $750ish, newer ones $450-500.

O.S.O.K.

Everybody who's ancestors are from Europe that has a long skinny nose is part Italian.

It's not called a "Romanesque" nose for nothing.

Indiginous populations had short noses before the Romans came.

O.S.O.K.

The answer has been written IMHO. The fact that so many carbines were made and then went out to surplus along with inexpensive ammo (for a long time) created a market for "go with's". Simple as that. Why so many 30-06's? Why so many 45ACP guns? When you compare the 30 Carbine to these two ...

O.S.O.K.

Go with the 6.5! It's magic!

Seriously, the SD is better

O.S.O.K.

Fried pork chops, mashed potatoes, purple hull peas and turnip greens. That's soul food.

Those biscuits sure look good though

O.S.O.K.

I think it's some kind of good luck sign. Do you have any Indian blood?

O.S.O.K.

Nice find! And the wood on that one is beautiful. I am sure it'll shoot close to MOA. What's on the hunting menu for this?

O.S.O.K.

I'd look at the starting loads for .308 Win and work from there. Or mid-level loads for .307. Either way, the chronograph is your friend.

Let us know how it goes!

O.S.O.K.

Looks like a great time was had by all. Joe's trips are always worth while! Congrats!!

O.S.O.K.

Thanks - I just tried the old tape on cleaning rod and tight patch method and it looks like mine is 1:38"... The tape went just a bit over 1/2 way around for the length of the barrel - that's if the patch was staying true to the rifling...

O.S.O.K.

Ah - thanks for the link. Thought maybe my gun would be listed there - no joy.

I'd like to know for sure what the barrel twist rate is...

O.S.O.K.

If anybody knows of any colleges looking for a History teacher, please post or PM DixieBoy! He's looking for such - in Texas in particular or similar "American" state - no commie states. (my editorial)

O.S.O.K.

I'm in too - expecting a PM! :) I want a piece of that levergun! :D And don't discount Mississippi - we're pretty conservative here too... and if you have a desire to get a nice place in the country to live, the cost of living is quite low. There are several community colleges if that's your cup of ...

O.S.O.K.

I had a crystal set too

Made it from a kit. I remember being amazed that it worked so well.

But I'm a little too young to have listed to the original radio shows - TV had taken over and I was watchin B&W shows.

O.S.O.K.

Yes Sir. It's a 94AE It's marked "Winchester MODEL 94AE CAL. 44 REM. MAG. And Grizz - thanks brother! I will be sure and report back on the 405 boolit performance - at least at the range. :) I bet one of those tooling along at 1300 fps would be a hammer on anything we have to hunt down here or ...

O.S.O.K.

Sorry

O.S.O.K.

Or Black Shadow.... Well, the local pawn shop had a nice Win M94 Black Shadow chambered in 44 Mag on the rack - $399. I waited and did the usual detective work and found out that the relatively few of these were made and that they are worth quite a bit more than $400 in VG condition. So..... I boug...

O.S.O.K.

They should go ahead and make these in 35 Rem too. And maybe some other short rifle cartridges.

The .357 Mag one would be very handi though.

O.S.O.K.

Blaine, why do you saddle us with these questions? Trotting out your equine cures... looking a gift horse in the mouth...

You should know by now that you can lead a horse to water....

O.S.O.K.

Seems the 44 Mag version is kind of rare - relatively speaking. I sure don't see any for sale on gunbroker - several standard 94AE's in 44 Mag but no Black Shadows... I think this shop has it underpriced some. And I think it has a scope mounted... I might be able to get him to keep the mounts/scope ...

O.S.O.K.

O.S.O.K.

Busted!

O.S.O.K.

Terry is spot on. I too think its the bullets.

I use h110 and rem 110 gr soft points and they work great in my Saginaw.

Load is 14.5 gr for book velocity of 1950fps.

This cartridge is very picky about bullets...

O.S.O.K.

I am definately a fan of heavy for caliber...

O.S.O.K.

Thanks - I have a nice Rossi 44Mag already. I bet it is a 444...

Filets tonight! M-MMMM. Congrats! I had one of the guys that works for me over this weekend to bow hunt. He got a shot at a 6-point but shot under him - he was about 40 yards. He's new to bow hunting and I think he held "on" and of course the arrow dropped. But he was excited to get to see...

O.S.O.K.

I can get my hands on this carbine. I was not aware that Winchester made the Black Shadow in 44 Mag. Or is the shop owner misreading the chambering? I thought these were 444 Marlins...?

And the Price is $399 which I think if very reasonable. What do you guys think?

O.S.O.K.

If my $$ expenditures are any indication, then I love Cabelas

Seriously, I've always gotten great service from them.

O.S.O.K.

Cool! I also have one in 7.62x39 and love it. Congrats!!

O.S.O.K.

Nicely done! Nothing like making your own rig and then using it to make your own grip scales!

Thanks for sharing!
