I have found that the Tauri rimfires I have examined had very high firing pins to be able to hit rimfire primers in a basically center fire frame. This requires a very stiff spring to give the trigger the required energy to hit the firing pin which is just grazed. When I replaced the springs to...

If you look in of the Lyman manuals you can see that at 38 Special velocities you can see that they got more velocity with lead at equal or even lower powder charges. In some cases they exceeded plus p jacked velocities with normal lead velocities. If you do this be sure to choose equal or very...

I bought a nickle plated humpback. For no particular reason I did not like it. I got a 637 because I wanted to try a snubbie. I love the 637 and shoot it all the time, mostly DA. An old hand injury affects my strong grip and the additional hold provided by the index trigger finger significantly...

Intox I do indeed have type 2 diabetes and take both metformin, insulin and also glipizide along with world of other stuff prescribed by my doctor. If the doc says take I take it other wise I leave it alone. I started sleeping on my side with NO pillow last year because I just did. I started...

I am a 73 year old useless oldfot. I was looking for a 10/22 and got a nice discount on one I think, because it had a pink stock. I like pink. It is easier to find in the woods. This gun also seems to puzzle other shooters.

Be careful when you talk about 10-22's being a POS. I was in my LGS and heard a guy do that and he lost all creditablity with me. I understand it not being to your taste, but if you don't like it, it is still a good gun.

J B Wood who is an extremely talented gunsmith and writer wrote an article in Gun Digest of being assigned to do a trouble shooting guide for the 10-22. He found that task difficult because people had so little trouble with 10-22's!

Propanolol was suscribed to me for essential tremor, I was checked more than once for parkinsons which I don't have yet. Any veteran with Parkinsons that ever stepped foot in Viet Nam may well be elegible for VA service connected disability payments as part of the agent orange mess. The same is...

When I first started reloading I made some mistake and loaded 50 extremely hot loads for my 32 new police, police positive. The kicked and roared like my 357. I shot them up any way. In my first glimmer of good sense I reduced the load 10% and continued to blast. A guy came to the range with the...

Not trying to change your mind, just relate data from an experienced point of view from a shooter with weakened hands. Double action revolvers require that the index finger add its strength to the GRIPPING strength of the firing hand. In my own case the ring finger on my right hand was injured...

Just curious. When you all tried all those guns to find her favorite, did she load them starting with cartridges out of the box, rack the slides etc? This is where I see the advantage of revolvers. I have weak hands. Stuffing magazines, racking slides etc is really hard for me. I think I could...

I am an old wheelgun guy. I thought I might give this 9mm thing a try so I got several and some boxes of bullets and blasted away for a while. I kept two and traded the others off. One of them I kept was the Shield. I had to go get it to tell if it had a safety and it does, I did not know they...

I love 32 SWL revolvers in the true 32 size frame. Now strangely during the recent panic I usually could find a box or two of 32SWL ammo at stores. Now the shelves are full agian but no 32 SWL. 32 ACP which is in abundance goes bang in my 32 SWL wheelguns. Now it is not going even be put into my...

Thats the theory but I think the last cat squirrel we brought home died from smoke inhalation. Two of us using singles shot at him five times.

I started this thread and feel like it is a significant accomplishment. Thanks to all who contributed. I am 72, disabled and may well never hunt agian. On my bucket list is to accumulate a fine collection of guns that appeal to me. One of the things I do is aquire a gun that appeals to me and...

I am an old dude now, pretty crippled etc. When I was young and felt danger may be approaching, I often found myself standing between it and my family. I did not usually remember how I got there. I just figured it was what men instinctivly did. I raised a little poultry and saw roosters do it...

Why do people expect privacy for things they do in public? Sounds like you tried to be slick and got caught. I feel like that if you do it in public you DO NOT have a right to privacy. What is more public than the internet.

I have started to trim down my collection and to trade things I don't want for things I would like to try. It is not uncommon for me to get something I pined for for years, try it out and find charastics that make me pass it on. For years I was broke and I came to feel that collectors keep lots...

I have an older model Savage 220 which is a hammerless single shot. I glued a ventilated aluminium rib to the barrel. Killed a few squirrels with it and took the rib off and glued on iron sights and then took those off. Then I got what I consider to be the ultimate squirrel gun, a 22lr/20ga...

I have often found the break action single shotguns to be more dynamic and of course lighter than doubles and repeaters. Yeah they kick but thats what shotguns do and that is ok in hunting types where not a lot of rounds are fired. I like the hammered style because I am clumsy and fall a lot. I...
