I prefer a very fine bead. ditto, with a receiver sight. dead on hold: "the bead is the bullet". I've tried other setups and get my best results with the fine bead for meat hunting. Farther out? Hold the hairline. Know the bullet. Make meat. I put a fine bead and peep on my SBH 44 and got...

My Springer sheds like crazy, but not all Spaniels do. I love the breed and probably get an English Cocker someday. My sister's Amercian Cocker doesn't shed at all. You can hunt cockers just like springers. The spaniels are active and don't do well cooped up. Most of the terriers I've seen are frene...

Thanks for the links Talon, I'll check out the AZ guy. Guys, I haven't committed to doing this. Yet. I'm just tire kicking the idea around right now. I can save a bunch by dovetailing the barrel for the front sight. That's easy enough to do if the barrel is indexed properly. Has anyone seen barrel b...

Grizz

I've been thinking again. Yeah I know. Thinking about having an octagonal barrel installed on my Marlin GS. It would be 16.125" with a custom barrel band to replace the endcap/hanger configuration. I'd mark the barrel 45/70. I'd have the front sight dovetailed in the barrel directly. No rear si...

Nice job Sixgun

Do you have a velocity and pressure number for the 400g+Unique load?

Seems like a candidate for the 425g cast I shoot.

Thanks,

Some people have some success with 300g 44 mags in carbines, but mine won't shoot 320s, they tumble. Plus the Marlins need a little tweaking to get longer carts to feed. Marlin uses a very slow twist in the 44 mag barrel that is designed to stabilize 240g bullets. Folks report good results with bull...

Sixgun,

You have 14 Yorkies under one roof?

Wowsers, are you keeping notes for the book? You must be working on a book deal.

There must be a story here, eh?

It would be wonderful information if someone would post the serial number range of the sintered metal receivers so we can have a handy reference. The only other thing I would avoid is the cross-bolt safety, that thing is ugly beyond compensation.

Regards,

Grizz

Well, I declare. I love the ruger safety, it's genious. H&R has the same setup now. I can't see any reason not to have this.

But, if I had a collectible ruger I wouldn't want to alter it either. Mine are just boring old blue collar wheel guns with hammer block safeties.

How about the type that doesn't use metal attachments? A loop for the top end and a butt cuff for the bottom. I remember seeing them around here somewhere.

That way nothing attaches to the gun permanently, and I think they look good too. Whatcha think about that?
