There is a gun range in Burro Cannon? Not to be picky but it is Azusa nit Azuza. "everything from A to Z in the USA"

Rancho Cucamonga must be getting crowded, my son moved there last month. Its hard to call it Rancho Cucamonga, growing up out there it was just Cucamonga and there was nothing but grape vinyards and a great fruit stand on Baseline and Vinyard. They do have a great Bass Pro Shop that I willl get to s...

I do believe it was mounted in the bullseye. Since there is no "bullseye" on the stock. I bought the gun used and did not have it long befor I "loaned it" to my daughter. Is it possible to get "bullseyes"from Marlin? I have a 22bolt action my dad bought me in 1958 that ...

Bis

I have about a 1/4-3/8 inch hole in the stock where some sort of mounting device use to be mounted. I can get a dowel and glue it in but thought that Marlin might have a special plug that goes in there. My older Marlins have a plug that has a black outer ring and a white inner ring. I would just lik...

I am glad to be rid of the freeloader and have my rifle back. My daughter has worked 2 jobs for the last couple of years to support the boy friend (29 years old), their baby (my only grand daughter) and the boy friends dad. Have told her for years to lose the loser. Back to the Marlin. Can I just ta...

Bis

A little off topic, but maybe some could help. I loaned my daughters boy friend one of my 336's (big mistake). When I got it back the sling was gone and the rear sling swivel was missing. I now have a hole in the butt stock where the sling use to attach. How do I fix it. Do I just buy a piece of dow...

Bis

Thanks for the link. $225 doesnt sound to bad, I presume that there is some modification required to the action to chamber the 38-55?

Bis

I hate to ask dumb questions, but about how much does it cost to have a gunsmith turn a 30-30 Marlin 336 into a 38-55?

Bis

Its still fun to watch even if staged

Bis

Looks like a good time. Where abouts in Texas did you shoot them? The ones around here are not as cooperative, they only show up 2 or 3 at a time and then back into the woods

Bis

Nice group

Bis

have you had a chance to go out and see how it shoots?

Bis

Very interesting. There is all sorts of stuff we will never know about. When I was in nam we had some guys from Colt Firearms that had a back pack setup that held 2,000 rounds of M16 ammo and fed the rifle with a metal flexiable clip.

Bis

My son just moved back to the Ontario area with my shot gun and a one of my pistols. He is telling me that he has to turn the guns into gun shop so they can run a check on him and the gun and he has to wait the ten day cooling off period and give them about $40.00 per gun. He is going to be in troub...

Bis

Looks great!

Bis

There is no other place like N. Calif. I was stationed at Hamilton A,F.B long ago and lived in Petaluma. On week ends the wife and I would that our bike on rides. Highway 1 is breath taking, use to take it to Fort Ross (a very old Russian fort).

Bis

Looks great, a beatiful weapon. Now go out and enjoy the fruits of your labor and let us know how it shoots.

Bis

Great. Those were some great times way back when.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks jlchucker. When I cast I wear a heavy jacket, gloves and a face mask. I look like the kid on "a Christmas Story". I will have to check out the cast boolets site.

Bis

Thanks for all the info. I need to go try this again as soon as I get another day off.

Which one of you guys was going to loan me the money to get those RCBS molds

Bis

I see the value of casting one size then the other, but what do you do when you have to add more material to the pot? The temp of the material will be lower for awhile won't it?

Bis

I guess I need to be more consistant with my casting. When I did the 45/70's I was trying to get more 44 mag bullets. So Some times I would cast 1 set of 44's and 1 set of 45/70's the next time I would cast 3 sets of 44's and 1 set of 45/70's. I had the same problem with bullet weight with the 44 ma...

Bis

Thanks for the reply.

I am using a bottom pour pot Left over from my muzzel loading days 30 years ago.

Does 8 grain difference in weight make that much difference down range?

Bis

Being new to casting bullets, I am a little confused. I am using a Lee 2 cavity mold for 45/70 405 grain RFP and straight wheel weights. The problem is that the weight of the bullets is all over the place or at least it seems to me. I cast 92 bullets and the weight ranges from 400.0 grains to 408.3 ...

Bis

I would spend $350 IF I could get one with the old ejector system as opposed to the newer extractor system. My .243 and .308 both have ejectors and work fine but my 38/55 has the extractor, what a pain.

Bis

I was going to ask the same question, how much time do you have invested. For me it would be measured in years .

Bis

WOW. That is impressive.

Bis

What city are you in?

Bis

Its already purty

Bis

I am with Bigahh about Gander Mountain. We have very few gun shops in our area but I will do without before I go back to Gander Mountain. Everthing seems over priced or it has no price on it and you have to find someone to get a price.

Bis

WOW, thats a work of art

Bis

Thats great.

Bis

Very impressive. I wish I had such tallents.

Bis

I hate to ask dumb questions, but the aurthor said that the loads were developed using a pressure barrel. If he maintains industry standards wouldn't that make it safe to shoot in this rifle? I like the idea of mounting a scope on the gun for load development and then putting it back to original con...

Bis

It snowed a little here in S.E. Texas. The reason we live in S.E. Texas is because my wife grew up in the hills above Boulder Co. and can't stand snow. You don't even want to ask her opinion about snow

Bis

Thanks everyone I appreciate the thoughtfulness

Bis

Thanks you guys. This site is like family, I wish my kids had been as thoughtful as you folks.

Bis

Is there any light that high lights blood in the midddle of the day?? Just spent 3 hours trying to track a wounded deer in some nasty timber/brush with no luck

Bis

Bought one for my son (30 years old) and grandson (3 years old) just could not resist. Will make a great Christmas gift. The reason they droped the price is that they will no longer carry them.

Bis

Thanks for the B day greetings. 3 more years and it is Social Security time if there is any money left.

Thanks again

Bis

What a great project. Please post pics

For me it has always been breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now that I live in Texas, supper seems to equal the last meal of the day, not counting midnight raids on the refig.

Bis

I have to agree with the others, just clean it and save it as is.

Bis

I guess I better get a lotto ticket too. My Taurus Lightning 45 seems to work just fine

Great report, now if I could only get my hands on some of those Rem. 158 gr FPs.

You guys are nuts

I am paying $10 for a 1 gallon jug of wheel weights.
