    My modern day woods carbine

    I like my 350 legend. I put a Midway 18" barrel on a PSA 223 that I had in the closet. I cast , gas check and powder coat using the Lee 35 cal 200 gr mold. I size in a .356 Lee push thru die after powdercoating as I install gas checks. My loads on a chrono went a little over 1900fps with...

    A ltttle heat and then a left hand drill in a drill press, most drill presses are not reversible,, Or a cordless electric, running in reverse if thats all you have. google left hand drills. Maybe take it to your local machine shop. they deal with broken off stuff all the time.

    44 mag and blue dot powder

    Shot a lot of bludot loads all with cast bullets. Probably got the load out of a Lyman cast bullet handbook as I recall. Started with the lowest listed 44 mag load and never needed more.

    350 Legend Thoughts

    I shot a large whitetail buck last fall at 200 big steps. I used a 200 gr Lee flat point bullet, the bullet was powdercoated and gas checked. Velocity was speculated to be 1900 fps out of an 18 inch Midway barrel on an ar-15. The hit was a hi shoulder shot and completely took the buck off his...

    Glued trigger??

    Don't use wd-40 on it again. After years of use it cures into like a brown shellac. Don't ask me how I know

    Hunter Attacked by Cougar; Shoots Same

    All I can say is that the shorthair that I have has pointed coyotes that were bedded in the grass. I was riding my saddle mule about 20 yards back, a real live 4 legged one while following my dog, dog pointed, but he was kinda fidgety,like he is when he points a raccoon on the ground. I was...

    On Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs

    In my opinion some lack understanding of sheep dogs . There are two classes and they are very different. I raised sheep for 25 years and owned both types. There are herding dogs, that move or herd sheep for their masters on command and under control or they are a liability. There are guard...

    Which 1911

    I have a Kimber CDP ll that I like pretty well. It has the alloy frame you wanted, although mine is not bobtail. I do have the night sights which are the real deal in low or no light. I have over 10,000 rounds thru mine just by rough primer count and don't see any problems with more shooting to...

    Determining gun loudness

    Noticed this years ago,nothing scientific,just my own opinion. If you take a 44 mag, for instance with moderate loads and shoot two loads, one with fast burning powder, and one with slower burning powder, keeping bullet weight and velocity the same I thought that the faster powder had a higher...

    9mm 1911 Failure to extract

    My newer 1911 would fail to extract with my reloads. After I cleaned the extracter hole in the slide for the second time,the first time I think I used a q-tip, the second time I used a rifle bore brush, then I got out a flake of crap of the extracter hole. Seems like that fixed it for now.

    45ACP 1911 problems

    My ATI will feed an empty case out of the magazine and runs my reloads well. I would try those loads a little shorter not longer, and only load 10 or 20 at a time till you know what works before you load a coffee can full. Don't ask me how I know. Good luck

    Opinel?

    I and my sons have skinned and gutted many a dewhen my son got one er and domestic lambs with an opinel knife. It was a surprise to me when my son got one hardness tested. As I recall it was a RockwellC54-55. Not as hard as the experts would say is optimum. They do sharpen very easily and hold...

    Trapping for beginners

    I would look at a website called Trapperman I think it is. My experience is one important thing is to bed your trap so firmly that it won't move when you push down on it. I would also look at snares, they can work pretty good. Good luck.

    Winchester Model 12 Mag Tube Stuck - Won't Rotate Freely

    Have someone who knows measure the chamber and see if it is chambered for 2 9/16" shells or 2 3/4" shells. Some of the earlier ones were chambered for the shorter shells.

    Question about Oil Quenching...

    As far as straightening a quenched blade I personally have heard a "klink" and then had 2 pieces of knife blade. I hated that . I want to see those pros straighten ten in a row, then I'll believe it can be done.

    Ar-15 Anti-Walk Pins?

    Make sure that the j spring is in the bottom of the hammer. It should intrude into the hammer pin hole. I that spring is supposed to be staked into the hammer but I have seen one fall out. Lacking the J spring in the hammer the hammer pin will work out. I suspect that if all hammers had the J...

    Big bore revolvers

    I have a new model Ruger flattop in 45acp/45 long colt with a 4 5/8 barrel. The gun has 2 cylinders so that I can shoot either one. To date I have only used the acp cylinder. I enjoy this single action quite a bit. You might take a look at one to see if it is your type of deal.
