Should be pretty easy with a large enough shed. A single car garage kit would work a little better for height and width. If you have the room. Not knowing your local building codes, but I used to run into a lot of small garages up here that were build on nothing more than a 4" concrete pad. Doe...

Very cool! I've been very lucky. I've only needed glasses for a few years for close up work and reading occasionally. Mostly due to recently becoming diabetic. If I don't behave, things start to get fuzzy after a few days. The holidays are a killer, Bubbles loves to bake cookies and I can't let the ...

I've been resisting the Shockwave for a while now. You're not helping Scott! :lol: Scott, I bought my mom a Mossberg 500 in 410. She liked the size of it because it was very similar to the one she had growing up on my grandparent's farm. Like many have said, being comfortable with a chosen firearm ...

Another vote for the P238. I've had mine since they were released and have yet to have had a failure of any kind. Can't say that for the Shield which I no longer have. The LCP is a .22lr and is my working in the yard pistol. The 238 is a tough little pistol. My wife and I were packing up the Jeep fo...

Looking forward to some responses. Bought two. Crashed two. There were no survivors. Darned good thing I didn't want to be a pilot!

There are serious chamber variations in the RBs, especially the 7x57s. I was told long ago to do a chamber cast on the 7mms, which I did when I had one. That particular 7mm had no issues, but I still shot cast bullets out of it 90% of the time. That's one I really wish I'd kept. Cool old rifle. jb 8)

Aside from the criticisms above, I don't have any problem hitting what I'm aiming at with any of these. Even the Taylor's conversion is surprisingly accurate and the Bisley convertible with the .45 Colt cyl. produces very nice groups. The SBH with heavy loads is a bruiser, but those are reserved for...

Still looking for the correct grips for the 1937, but they will do for now. I bought the CZ 1908/34 Cavalry carbine about 30 years ago for $200 if I remember right. I haven't seen another one in years, except my dad's. We picked them out of the same pile When Springfield Sporters was still around. I...

My contribution to the .32WCF party. I've had the '92 since my senior year in college. The $438 dollars I spent on it was every last buck I had at the time. Still glad I bought it. Getting them both to the same POA included a switch to JSP bullets. The S&W won't shoot cast bullets for snot. http...

Alas, this is the one combo post I will not be able to contribute to personally. No .40-cal/10MM longarms in my collection... :( Here's a .40 S&W for you Jay. https://i.imgur.com/mRKdRCQ.jpg I keep this set in my company SUV. I was never a big fan of the .40 until I got one. Not the biggest and...

2ndovc

Because we can.

However, this is the combo that gets the most trail time.
.30-'06 '95 SRC, 1911 National Match and Number one Scout Dog.

Here's a Finnish .30 cal combo for you guys.

The M39 is as accurate as my '03A3. The SA proofed Broomhandle is just plain cool.

Nice!

I have a CZ 452 in .22 Magnum with a Mannlicher stock. Most accurate .22 Mag I've ever had, but I'd love to have an Anschutz!

Looking forward to a range report!

jb

2ndovc

Good stuff guys!

These go when I just want to have fun and shoot something.

Miroku '73, Ruger Old Army and a Taylor's Hickok. Thought this set needed a backup and that short barreled .45 is surprisingly accurate.

jb

2ndovc

Jay, those grips are sharp!!

Classy pair of .44s!

2ndovc, I'd love to see your Bowen SBH out of your beautiful El Paso Saddlery holster. I'll bet it's a masterpiece. Here you go, Walt. I like the original walnut grips, but I love how it looks with the AZ Grips on it. Either way, it will always be my favorite handgun. https://i.imgur.com/SUNyT7i.jp...

2ndovc

My favorite pair. Marlin 94P and Bowen SBH.

jb

Been meaning to get these out in a while. Not a vintage set, but both are great shooters.
I don't have many .357s, more of a .44/.45 guy but they are fun.

I gave my Marlin 35 to my son, but one thing that interested me was that you could have one bullet mold and shoot those from 9mm, 38spcl, 357, and 35 Rem. I forget where I saw this, but someone, maybe Ranch Dog's forum, was doing this. I know, disappointing over-simplification, but Hey, that's my z...

Why are you having Winter temperatures, Jason? It's been s strange summer for sure. We've only had a few 90 degree days this year, but we have had unusual amount of violent weather.

Altimont will run a few batches of overstock a month on Gunbroker. I think I picked these up for $25 or so.

They can be sneaky little guys. I was out walking the trail around my old place when one was tooling down the trail straight toward me. Yelled at it and it didn't miss a step. A couple of 9x18s from my E.G. Makarov ended the discussion. I was really happy I didn't have the dogs with me that morning!...

Nice! Those surprise shots are the best. I took a shot at a woodchuck years ago, that when I walked off the distance I had counted 430 steps. I had been shooting my Sako .222 a LOT in those days, but was still surprised when I saw the little pink mist when I hit the bugger. We had horses at the time...

Not much chance of getting bored around here. More of a case of stress relief. I need to take the .22s out more often. I had a plan to take them all out this summer and get them on paper, just for fun. Well, this is as far as I've gotten so far and it's already August!

Had a little time off for more medical stuff. Apts went quickly so I headed to the range for a bit.

I have several, three of which are '03A3s. I have an Arisaka that was heavily worked over into a very light, accurate .257 Roberts and a Mosin Nagant 91/30 that was built out of parts with a Tikka barrel. I've been shooting the Mosin a lot lately. It's set up as a scout rifle and deadly accurate. My...

Dang, Jason. It seems to me that UPS is a little rougher on packages than the USPS lately. Hope you get that sight running. What a classic!

I bought a cool old sproterized Springfield 03A3 that I picked up at my dealer's today. Looks like UPS used it for a speed bump. When we opened the box, the rear sight fell on to the floor in three pieces. https://i.imgur.com/pdtmc4B.jpg I think it's a Lyman 48, but that's just from pictures around ...

I never really spent the time to find an accuracy load for my 10, I did find a few loads that shot good enough but boy how that Hirtenberger 150 surplus stuff shot! I should have bought a ton of it! That stuff is a bit HOT and it's hard on steel plates at 200. I still have a couple of battle packs ...

My AR10T doesn't care for 147s but my model 70 shoots them pretty well. But I've got 4,000 of them from back when it looked like the Witch was going to be elected so when I try different powders I try those first. I have some 165 and 168 grain Sierras down in the basement, going to try those next. ...

Only thing I shot yesterday was a nail gun, and not for groups! Jason, I put together a tote that holds my sandbags- it stays on my truck 365.

Our Great Dane ruled the squirrel battlefield for the ten years she was with us.

Some of my best days shooting have been with a vintage .22 LR and a brick of ammo. I have several that would fit into the '40s-'60s time frame. A Winchester 63 and a 75. Marlin 39 from the '50s. A couple of old Savage rifles, and several military trainers. My first rifle was (still have it) a Steven...
