    Revolvers, fewer is more

    Figure out somebody that might appreciate them and send them that way, or find somebody who is into knife making and send them that way if nobody wants them as full antlers. Thinking about it now, how great would it be to have a handful of knives made using antler scales from one of your...

    Revolvers, fewer is more

    It’s hopefully a long time until I inherit anything else from anybody, but the conversations have already started with my dad. When I’m gone I want such and such to happen. When I’m gone come get this or your sister will throw it away. My nephew hunts with my dad but my sister doesn’t want guns...

    Bullet fitting question

    Less a question of will it work but more a question of how well it works. Dropping .002 in diameter your still catching rifling so your going to have some degree of stability. When you start considering the tolerances of military rifles you begin to wonder though. Some of those bores are grossly...

    Glad I did this... saved some money too!

    I started reloading as a 12yr old using a Lee whack-a-mole kit and 2400 for .256 winmag. I love 2400 but I haven’t been able to buy any for a solid decade. I have been forced elsewhere and h110 was my landing spot. Can’t go wrong either way.

    Best Take Down Lever Action? Chiappa 1892 Alaskan Takedown

    I really like the look of the salt-n-pepper laminate with the dull stainless. Keeping a standard lever instead of a balloon is a nice touch. 44 mag is the sweet spot for these. Takedown is nice for compact travel needs. Stainless to fare better in rough weather. Scout optic setup for a non...

    a 686 variant I've never heard of

    https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1037580768 There it is. Im not bidding, and I'm not at all affiliated with this one, but its an interesting setup. Im not sure I have ever seen a front sight setup like that one. Im curious of what the mechanics are there. It appears to be possibly adjustable for...

    M855A1 projectiles.......cores spin?

    Even if it’s not the case just think of the incredible amount of friction acting between the 2 separate pieces as the main part of the bullet engages against the smaller insert. Even after accelerating out of the barrel, that insert is taking the majority of the wind resistance and pushing it...

    Best Take Down Lever Action? Chiappa 1892 Alaskan Takedown

    These are really expensive for what they are. But this is exactly the setup I would want if I were to spec out a gun.

    I tried to ignore this, but darn it, somebody had to buy it...

    Be easy on it. The fixed firing pins are generally the weak link on those old beauties. Not at all a bad price on a wonderful old shooter.

    Nashville Glock store- my experience

    I haven’t been there yet. I try to avoid Nashville in general when I can. I haven’t heard many great stories of the place though. One thing that’s notable is that a lot of people in the big city stores have figured out that a lot of folks in those areas are somewhat put off by interaction in...

    Let’s see an odd item that you use in your reloading process.

    Another reason to dumpster dive is exactly what I needed this morning.

    Very strange experience, and a nice S&W.

    But the Mexican cartel can have our surplus guns but we can’t. This is some kind of interwoven braid in the gun world. Whose guns do the Hong Kong folks get?

    This is your opportunity to justify a Judge. Take advantage.

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    Wiring. Technically it was in the man room. The man room is essentially a bonus room accessed through a small closet, and the wiring was for the den which is underneath the man room. Luckily though, I have a few circuits of 120v ac power that WERE in the den but I removed the wall that they were...

    Let’s see an odd item that you use in your reloading process.

    I have heard of all kinds of things being used to make a powder drop flow better by using vibration. A washer and dryer set is a bit far out on that particular limb but I guess it ought to do the trick.

    What was your first marksmanship badge of honor? .....

    I think I was 12 when I went to Camp Curry for a week in the summer. I shot well enough without practice to earn the marksmanship badge. Probably from all of the BB gun escapades in the back yard for as long as I can remember. Many many sparrows fell victim to a Daisy lever carbine BB gun...

    Unwelcome visitor

    Buzzworms are not friendly. How big was it? I saw the first copperhead of the year on Wednesday, so they are awake and probably hungry.

    Nickel plated brass question

    I get excited for finding nickle brass in any caliber. I use nickel for hotter loads or special loads. It’s an easy and quick distinction that allows for more positive identification of loads if something crazy happens like the bottom blow out of a box while moving and your containers get mixed...

    16ga ???

    That’s one of the ones I will buy if I ever stumble across it. Those old winchesters are unbelievable in the way they fit me.

    16ga ???

    I really like 16ga. I like 20 as well, and truthfully they are pretty close in most aspects. Seems in the late 70s and 80s things started swinging towards everything had to be magnum and more power to be enjoyable. We know that’s a load of bull, but we got 3” 12 and 20, then eventually 3-1/2”...
