Welcome to the fire, sounds like you'll fit right in!

Welcome to the fire! There's plenty to learn here and it sounds like you'll fit right in.

Sometimes you're stuck using a screwdriver as a prybar and a rock as a hammer.

Hobie wrote:Did you know that Benjamin is made by these same people?

Affirmative, I just think the pump-up Benjamins are much better than the Crosmans. The sky is the limit though, all it takes is money.

nemhed

As Darth Vader told Luke: "Impressive, most impressive".

nemhed

Hobie, try one of the Benjamin models or if you're interested in CO2, try a Crosman 1740 or 2240.

Very nice! I hope to own a flintlock squirrel rifle before my hunting days are over.

I NEVER WANT TO DEAL WITH A SKUNK SPRAYED DOG AGAIN THE REST OF MY LIFE!

Those big brass shells look cool as heck. Are those 2 & 3/4"? Being completely ignorant on shotshell reloading, what is the Duco cement for? 2.5" A thin bead of Duco cement is used around the overshot card to hold it securely in place. If a slight roll crimp was used you wouldn’t real...

I ALWAYS WEAR A STETSON WHEN OUTSIDE, A FELT HAT IN THE WINTER AND A SUMMER STRAW HAT WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP. THE LATTER USUALLY A RESISTOL. WHEN WORKING AROUND THE YARD IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER I SOMETIMES WEAR A BALLCAP. TERRY, IN THE INTEREST OF TRUTH AND HONESTY I HAVE TO POINT OUT THAT WE S...

If I'm outside, I have a hat on. My choice is usually based on the weather. For extended time out in the sun during warm weather I wear an "Outback" style bush hat or a boonie hat. The rest of the time in warm weather it's a camo ball cap. When things cool down I often wear a wool "St...

I'll be totally honest here, I like the laminated wood, but don't care for the thumb hole stock. As long as the owner likes it, nothing else matters. More important, how does it shoot and does that rifle deserve a $600 dollar scope? :wink: Looks like you did good work just like in your previous posts.

I've seen the results of having a C&R at my father-in-law's house.

Have fun with that!

I don't think anybody but a Hoosier would understand that!

Enough gun in this case means shooting the skunk far enough away that you can't smell it.

If you sold that birch stock set for $150 and got a walnut set for $90 then somebody screwed up and it wasn't you. Very nice!

From the website: On The Name While many ammunition companies choose names for their firms or products that connote high power, martial prowess, or destructive capability, we chose a different route. Recognizing that civil lawsuits from even legitimate defense shootings are a fact of life, we chose...

Very nice, Nath! Tia looks like she approves, or could care less. It's so hard to tell with women sometimes!

I've owned an AR which I purchased for professional reasons. When those reasons disappeared I sold the AR because I never felt all that strongly about the platform. I've wanted a Mini since I was 12 y.o.. I've always liked the look and feel of a Mini-14. Now after looking at txpete's stainless Mini,...

I don't know why, but I suddenly have a craving for a nice ribeye!

Yes it seems to be skunk "season" around here too.

Throw my name in. Thanks!

Very cool photos, I had no idea PA had any elk. I thought I remembered attempts in recent years to a establish a herd in northern Kentucky, possible the "Land Between the Lakes" area. I don't know if that was successful or not. Boy, people in my area of Indiana would be ticked if they star...

Looks very nice, now get out there, shoot the heck out of it, and report back to us.

nemhed

Oh, you mean like the Rem. 7615?: http://www.remingtonle.com/rifles/7615.htm Ahhh, you beat me to it. Feed problems??? Probably a magazine issue, not the rifle. I could be wrong, of course. Scott Hearsay and second hand knowledge on my part but doesn't look like Remington is currently cataloging th...

That rifle looks like a stone cold killer now! Good choice in slings by the way.

Les, that one is still a 303.

nemhed

And not to stir up a hornet's nest, but I think that rifle would edge out a levergun for a "bad times rifle" ;) Primarlily because of the chambering and the ability to be charged from stripper clips. I think I would agree with every word of that statement. With it's 10 round mag capacity,...

nemhed

yup your right that "the new black plastic 22's" just warms the heart. :lol: :lol: Yeah, makes you wonder too if 100 years from now someone will proudly hang great-grandpa's plastic stocked in-line muzzleloader on the wall that he "kilt a bar with back in twenty-oh-nine". :wink:

txpete,
Great photos, those Mosin Nagants are still going strong but they just don't get any better lookin' with age.

How do I post pic's on here? Here's the link for instructions on how to post pictures: http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=990 It's listed under the "how to about the forum" sticky. It ain't rocket surgery, I figured it out. Get them pictures posted, we love pictures...

I'm not a Winchester expert, but welcome to the fire1

What kinda accuracy does it have? I can keep the first three shots on an apple sized target with a field rest from a cold barrel. Shooting a 10 round mag at a rapid pace leads to the vertical stringing I mentioned. as to the stringing try a pressure point 6" ahead of the knox form and free flo...

Seeing the pictures of those parts kind of breaks my heart, but if you can use those parts to get another 39a back on the road, so to speak, then it's all good. Just talking about a 39a makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!

nemhed

What you're saying does make a lot of sense. I often feel I should do something like this but I also look at my "collection" as a type of currency or savings plan that is probably as secure or more secure than any other plan. Also, guns are a lot cheaper to collect than cars and motorcycle...

I appreciate all the comments and no one slamming me for hacking a piece of milsurp "history"! :lol: txpete, That No. 4 is insanely nice! :mrgreen: t.r., There are plenty of wildcats based on necked up and necked down 303 cases. The two I think would be the most interesting are the 35-303 ...

444 Marlin not only works but you don't even have to change the magazine, just bend the lips a little. Yeah, I thought of that too, and that would probably be the most logical choice for a big bore Enfield. Dies would be cheap, components for reloading readily available. I have a Marlin in 45-70 th...
