Reminds me of trying to buy a shotgun at Walmart a few years back. The clerk stopped me when I was doing paperwork to tell me about a handgun she literally found on the ground that morning. She asked my advice. I wrote out and handed her a phone number of a police officer I knew. Told her...

No clue what my dad did to it. The barrel band has a vague dent and has more scratches than bluing. The forend stock is loose and makes a rattling noise. I know I tumbled down a rocky mountain and landed in a cactus once with his 30-06 Winchester.

Due to schedule next weekend and not this weekend I plan and pulling the stock for redoing. I will start sanding and doing the minwax stock redo. I will then take a closer look at the barrel then too. Since I will touch up the bluing to stave off any rust until I can get it down to a...

I ordered a new vise, a Chapman screwdriver set, and some punches. Also some Dewey rods to replace my old Hoppes set. I am hoping it will arrive in time for me to get to work next weekend.

Wiley x and Oakley are safe to shoot in and can have prescriptions in them. Randolph Engineering is good that is what I am using now.

Demi yes. Wife did tell me today if gunsmith quote to make it safe to shoot is over a certain amount I can buy whatever lever gun I want instead. So either way I will have another shooter. I just never bought another since my dad borrowed this one since I knew eventually I would get it back.

If barrel is bent I will just prevent rust and keep gun as a reminder on lending anything out especially to family. And buy another lever gun for squirrel. I am hoping the barrel just looks off due to optical illusion of scratched and dinged up band and spotty bluing. Could be also with...

I am an idiot. Just looked up into at Browning. Now I realize why I cant find barrel. Apparently they are permanently attached to the reciever. I can buy a new reciever with barrel attached though. I spent some time and elbow grease tonight now that I am off. I cleaned up gun some...

Browning is still making that model. But because its browning the parts are ridiculous. New stock could be as high $300 for just a basic I found today. Just one example. Bare minimum it needs rebeded and reblue after a good scrub down. The barrel I still can't find for sale anywhere if mine...

I finally got the rifle back I loaned to my dad twenty years ago. My mom was nice enough to drop it off to me this morning. It needs work now. It's a Browning bl 22. I know I need to replace the sights, rebed it, new barrel band, reblue it and do a total clean job. The fore end stock is...

Congratulations. Very nice rifle. Ruger has always done well by me. Both old ones and new ones.

Only time I open carry is when out hunting or in brush country. Lots of rattle snakes and bobcats in the area. That doesn't really count though. I have driven home from said woods trips with holstered gun still outside of clothing. Never thought anything of it until I stopped once for gas...

I keep a mini maglite in my call phone pouch on my belt. So far its handy. I have used it when I forget to turn on porch light, looked at used guns, digging through a pack in the dark, in power outages looking for camp lanterns.

3 26 round kriss magazines. I'm just glad NM has no capacity rules.

True but I'd hate to waste money on mounts that don't fit that gun. Wrong ones may frustrate or discourage her from future buys. Her gun choice in this proves she looks for different styles than I get myself. Although looks like she made a good choice on this 22

Frog lube and some Glock tools and book was my gun related purchases this week. Oh and another scope for my Marlin 60.

Dave I agree. After I said I wasn't interested in a 22lr he had at $250 before taxes I was called cheap. I said I wasn't spending $250 on a crap gun. I went home and looked online. Wife fell in love with the Ruger precision that cost more than what that shoo wanted me to spend. But from...

Thanks.

Yesterday I mentioned wanting to take the two 22s out to the range this weekend since I bought a thousand rounds of 22lr. She wasn't all that excited. I asked why. I was told the rifles were short. I have a Marlin 60 and a Remington nylon. I never noticed they were all that short for her...

Sweet looking. I've always liked lovers. Post on how the new Marlin shoots.
