What better way to save some money for a Christmas gift than to just do mostly gun work on a desired subject of the recipient, in this case my son. When we were in Sarco's show room a number of years ago, he spotted this Greener GP shotgun and they only wanted $275 for the danged thing! The gun was glued to his fingers as we checked out the rest of the stuff there. Well, the gun came with a 2 3/4" chambered 30" modifyed choke barrel and it was a take down model that is pretty interesting in its self. All you do is just loosen the screw head there by the forend and hand turn out the barrel. The screw acts as a simply clamp screw closing the receiver ring around a well fit barrel shank. He all ways thought having a Rifled 12 gauge barrel to swap in would make it a Really nice GP gun as was stamped on its side. Numrich had the Mossberg 512P barrel used and I was able to cut most all of the (bad idea) ports off for a handy 18 1/4" barrel length. The scope base is a weaver that I was able to put 4, 8x40 screws into the beafy Mossberg 512 Rifled barrel. And that sits shouldered up to a High Standard pistol rear sight that comes with a 90 degree face as a recoil shoulder for the base and yet is usable as open sight with the orange bead up front. Other extras include cutting the Original barrel down to 26" chambering it for 3" as well as for the 512 and putting a Win Choke II on the end. A 1" Pachmayr recoil pad in lew of the home made plastic thing that was there. A trigger job and fixing the safety so it wouldn't go into safe with each lever drop. Topped off with a 15 oz Vector 1-5 illuminated dot cross hair scope. Then the Rings were extensively worked over also. They used to be one piece with a single clamp in the middle. I cut the unit in half and milled each ring for weaver square cross pins and nuts. Now these rings seat the way they should with no re-zero needed between barrel swaps. All this was Christmas and Birthday gift from me since he turned 28 2 days ago. Needless to say he's thrilled with this General Purpose Greener Martini now! Its now nic named Thor. He's having a good new year so far! He worked the last 4 years in the county jail as a Deputy Sheriff on 6-6 O-clock midnight shift and just started his new gig as Sheriff's Court Officer on days with weekends and Holidays off! even a $1500 bump in base. He deserved something different than store bought.....IMO.

Even at TN's cost of scrap steel running $2.11/LB This guy is pretty ambitious with pricing. Nails it as a joke tho....

This is why I'v been watching what India has and is doing about this pandemic. Their Health ministry has now clearly taken a stand against big Pharma publicly in this article. Covid-19: No antibody cocktail in revised treatment protocol in Bengal | Kolkata News - Times of India (indiatimes.com) This aint gona happen here in cash cow America. So if this isnt going to be the "go to" for the average Joe Indian, what has been working there to be so cocky to turn a nose up at the costly treatments? Explained: India's Covid-19 treatment protocol | IndiaToday Has this been working you might ask??? As with the common Flue, some are bound to kick the bucket, I'v grown to more or less trust the India stats over anything you get out of the US based Health Czars for obvious reasons. India COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer (worldometers.info) In any SHTF situation Mil spec weapons, ammo and long term food stands toe to toe with medications. My personal; choice here was to do a direct order to AGM allgenericmedicine (India) for 100 Ivecop 12mg Ivermectin tablets. At $1.55 per pill shipped, I have SOMETHING that reportedly works against a variety of Viruses, deadly or otherwise if need be. It would come as no surprise if Pharma, has Congress shut these out of country direct med imports down with a new importation rules. Pharma, Like the Federal Government has grown into a massive organization that consumes Billions of YOUR dollars just to stay alive. Whats new is the controllers over them have had enough of the population explosion and will be pulling the strings harder than ever for illness, food shortages, fake "insurrections" and even Wars. Just how much more money they can make from it all while still culling the heard is the challenge of interest for them. JMO.

Derf is right with project guns. This is one I got from GB for $240 as a stripped barreled receiver. Not counting the love of labor, I got about 500 into the gun including the China scope. Sold it as a few bucks toward the next tinker job. Marlin 336 35 Remington Trapper / Texan style 1950 mfg - Lever Action Rifles at GunBroker.com : 912892612

Thank You Federal Government for a declining dollar built into the fabric of "their" promissory notes that are in fact owned by a private company called The Federal Reserve. Who here works in a job that has built in cost of living wages that are not negotiated by their Union or company owners for joe 6 pack? Most al Federal jobs are joined at the hip with annual cola's. Being the leading world currency, the US could have done a better job of stabilizing the dollar's value. Instead, they gave that trump card to China as a favored trade nation decades ago turning our economy into a house of cards. Now, with the Feds using private bank owned green banks as free confetti, you aint seen nothin yet in the way of inflation! Some 30 years ago when I had a full service shop, a big GS near by had a sale on blued Ruger mini 14's. $199.99 each. That was about 20 bucks cheaper than any of my wholesale distributors. So I went over there and bought 5 off the bat. Marked em up to $260 and they were gone in 2 weeks, I went and bought 5 more, Again gone in a couple more weeks. Back in those days a bunch of rough cast parts with a Ruger label wasnt worth a hard case to hide it in IMO. Today, I dont know whats so great about these Henry's at their asking prices. Fit & finished is OK but certainly not what was built here 50 years ago. I shake my head every time I see one of those Henry's sporting their non tapered barrels. Every single American Lever gun had tapered barrels untill Henry decided its not worth the extra profit give up. My hats off to the Italians and Japanese. They never basterdized an American classic with a rebar straight barrel where it wasnt supposed to be. I typicaly dont buy new guns, period, aside from that 1873 Pietta recently pictured here. If you want to save as much money as you can on a gun of sorts and happen to have a good Gunsmith you can trust, troll GB using "Gunsmith special" hit words. Sometimes a sleeper will roll threw there that is a simple fix, but a gamble no less. Its like a loto ticket.... A winner will be your ability to weigh the odds into your favor.

Those are fire from open bolt sub machine guns. The big bolt stop trigger bar is a dead give away. The top one with the trigger forward the mag well is mostly a direct descendant of the Uzi at first then Mac then Cobrea. You can see an Uzi down in the lower left hand corner he probably used as a guide. The bolts up in the top left hand corner are very similar to these sub gun bolts. The second one down is built for a slow rate of fire due to the receiver length behind the ejection port compared to the faster fire rate of the short tube one below it. Yep, that ol boy has traded em for shooting spit balls at the cock roaches in his cell! knuckle head......

I used that particular sight since it had a variety of information that pulls from the general idea of what is going on in India. But really, do your own research and not just by going to those ass a nine fact check sights. gezzz thats so childish for the masses to swallow BS guiding the lemmings down their pre planed path to a great view of the ocean. There is ALOT of specific details on India's use of Ivermectin and how their own Gov fought its inclusion even to the point the home issued kits were sent out with only 3mg tablets to prove it wouldnt work to the people who advocated its use. Now, is this all true? maybe.... but certainly enough going on to dig deeper if one is so inclined. I guess all these basic vids are all BS but good for ha haa's india ivermectin - YouTube

These guys got some nads! Funny this is a near verbatim description of Ivermectin protocol. Looks like they tweaked the compound a tad to call it new & their own. I bet there sick about putting out a new drug thats not law suit free like their Vaccines. But looks like their pretty safe with this one since the out of country evidence is mounting on a lack of damaging side effects. They know their cashing in on their Paid off Gov studges has about run its course. NO ONE greases the wheels in DC like Pharma can & does. Used to be the BAR Association affiliates years ago.

Zero deaths reported from omicron on the news today. ho hummm..... Oh, as for Zero Hedge? Its one of some dozen different various sights that put the PDF letter out. Zero Hedge Didn't write it. I never pulled that sight up before but the PDF content is in fact the same as the other sights. So who gives a rats ass who floats it? Funny how some folks put an invisible turnakit around their info sources yet the ones they may use package it more appealingly. When really, its the same crap, different stink. Like I all ways said, you have to dig threw a pile of ####e to find a seed of truth. In the end, with a discriminating, yet unbias ability to discern various points of view, you just might hit some form of jack pot in this manure business call mass media.

And here is the Mother of all Covid assesments I'v ever read off the net! Thing is, some of this has all ready been proven to be quite factual. As for the rest.... 17 pages of source Foot Notes are included in the original PDF link. Incase it doesn't come threw, Its called the Spartacus COVID letter. Some interesting angles for sure!

I'v been looking out for a nice SA 357 for a while now to complete a 3 gun set and this one popped up on GB at a discounted price. I was rather mesmerized by how the CCH finish took on a completely different color placement solely determined by the engraving pattern across the top strap. So, despite the crappy white plastic grips and Hold your breath on how bad the Transfer bar trig was going to be..... I bought this Davidson's special Traditions Bill Tighlman Pietta. And yup, the trigger was worse than I could have imagined. In this first picture, you can see how far forward the skinny trigger is in the guard. Half that rearward distance is all take up to get the trans bar up infront of the frame mounted firing pin. And then you get a crazy amount of sear drag under a heavily over cocked hammer notch angle geometry. So, I hit EMF up for a Alchemista model low, wide spur firing pin hammer and extra wide trigger. It took some frame milling to get the new hammer to work and nearly 1/4" of weld added to lengthen the trigger into a newly egg shaped trigger guard to give me an extra nice full bodied trigger to finger fit. Those pictured grips were what I thought might fit but didnt on the Pietta but were an easy fit mod on the Uberti Stallion 22. I ended up fitting a Altimont set of Walnut grips onto the finished work. The groups were light 357 reloads 30' off hand on the left and Fiochi 142g FMJ at 45' off sand bags. Funny how the factory hot loads shot nearly 3" lower! The revolver is exceptionally tight in its lock up timing and fit to frame. Its capable of much better accuracy due to my 2 shooting handy caps that happened to be squinting like crazy over my glasses to get a relatively usable sight picture and the hopefully...... maybe short lived tennis elbow in my right arm that I stupidly let our new Blue Healer dog put in me by trying to satisfy her insatiable apatite to play tug of war! She's 40 lbs of Jack Hammer on the end of a loop rope........ much to my new found ailment, off hand shooting is not what it used to be.

If you intend to hunt with it, I would look for the replacement. Hate to see you loose a needed follow up shot with a fail to feed.

Another thing you might want to look at is the cartridge lifter. Those old cast steel 94's typically came with a over hardened stamped lifter that had a habit of cracking. Winchester made thousands of replacements in a nice cast steel. The stampings were blued while the cast replacements were in the white. Good Luck with the project!

Reminds me of a Remington 514 I'm holding for a friend. Its a factory shot bore 22. It has a 24 3/4" barrel with 12.5" of open bore thats nearly 7/16ths" in diameter. The bore below that has no rifling. The only visual give away is a shotgun bead on the end aside from the shot bore stamping. I suppose that 52 may be a few decibles quieter like that? All tho a standard vel 22 maxes out its velocity rather early in the bore and it may be an effort to find its max FPS. Its thought that the end barrel bore drag on slowing the bullet has some negative effect on accuracy in the shot to shot consistancy. Who knows, that 52 might be pretty kick ass with some std vel Eleys!

Many years ago, once I learned that FDA auditors that approve drugs for market are routinely hired by the very same companies that seek FDA approval for their drugs can make over $250K a year in addition to their Gov pay by being "advisors" to these Pharma companies. If there was ever a qid pro qoe.... This is a huge in your face one that no one wants to go up against. Congressmen that tried, some how couldn't hold their seats in the next election. Billions of dollars are at steak within these Gov employees decisions. And then we have this stuff.... Big Pharma falsified studies to get approval for 81 different drugs. Yet the FDA continues to allow these drugs to be sold.[5] That 80% of prescription medications sold in the U.S. are now made in China and India. The vast majority of these foreign factories have never been inspected by the FDA. They have miserable track records for quality and safety. [6] That since 2013, more than 8,000 faulty drugs have been pulled from the market. They included statin pills with glass shards in them… Blood pressure drugs contaminated with a carcinogen… An arthritis drug that gave up to 140,000 patients heart attacks… And that’s just the beginning.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] Its an interesting world out there today. Trusting your Doctor is something of a Utopian concept to me. Too many variables to get to that without doing my own research. I'v had some lazy ass MD's who had no need of keeping up with new studies. Can't blame them tho, They are booked solid peddling meds that in some cases even give kick backs! WT.....Frick...

As long as we have a choice, all is good. On the other hand, if one was inclined to see just who has their finger prints on much of the medical lesson plans taught in Medical school, finding a "Good" doctor may not be that easy. Here is the example for those poor saps. Some 128,000 Americans a year now die from the effects of medications prescribed to them. This number doesn’t include overdose deaths—only people who took their drugs as prescribed.[1] Prescription drugs have become the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. They kill more Americans than breast cancer, prostate cancer, homicide, and suicide combined.[2] [3]

The some what best rebuttle yet is this one.... Like this guy points out, There needs to more serious testing that covers his assertions. Right off the bat, I question the biological relevance of these findings for 2 reasons: (1) These experiments are conducted in HEK293 cells, a cell line derived from human embryonic kidney cells. This doesn't necessary disqualify the relevance of the findings, but the impact of these observations is weakened when we are discussing a respiratory pathogen with a tropism for cells types in the air ways (e.g. human alveolar epithelial cells). This may seem like a pedant criticism but it's really not - cell lines in eukaryotes matter when it comes to physiological relevance. (2) The paper is making a big to-do about V(D)J recombination but neglect to perform any experiment using a lymphoid progenitor cell line - i.e. cell types that give rise to B-cells, which are the antibody-producing adaptive immune cells. Instead, they do this work in HEK293 cells - again, natural coronavirus infection will predominantly impact airway epithelial cells. Similarly, spike mRNA-based vaccination is localized to the muscle of the upper arm where it's expected that the tissue-derived Spike proteins will generate strong local immune response. Additionally, tissue-derived Spike proteins can be capture via the lymphatic system and delivered to lymph nodes to promote affinity maturation, the selection process by which B-cells with the highest affinity antibody to the Spike protein will proliferate and give rise to antibody-secreting plasma and memory B-cells. The point here is that V(D)J recombination, the process by which lymphocytes enable somatic hypermutation and produce T-cell receptors (TCRs) and antibodies, occurs predominately in B-cell and T-cell progenitor cell lines - these are actual cells of the adaptive immune system, whereas HEK293 cells are essentially irrelevant. Accordingly, both infection- and vaccine- derived Spike proteins are expected to encounter lymphocytes in tissues (e.g. macrophages, dendritic cells) and secondary lymphoid organs (spleen and lymph nodes; e.g. B-cells and T-cells). Given that the physiologically relevant V(D)J recombination occurs in the context of lymphocytes, the authors entirely neglect to do anything with a lymphocyte cell line. Additionally, something supremely important to consider here is how antigens are actually produced and presented. The adaptive immune cells are not going to generate antibodies and TCRs by learning* from the full-length Spike protein. Rather, target cells (a.k.a. altered-self, infected cells) process foreign proteins via the endogenous pathway, which is entirely cytosolic (no nucleus involved), and presents pieces of the original protein at the cell surface as targets for immune activity. In contrast, phagocytic/endocytic cells (macrophages, B-cells, dendritic cells) pick up and process foreign proteins and present them at the cell surface, too. The point here being that foreign proteins (e.g. Spike) are picked up by cells and processed into smaller fragments called antigens that the immune system targets. In this paper, the authors use a vector to overexpress Spike protein in the cytoplasm, which is quite subject to artifacts, including non-physiologically relevant events like atypical subcellular localization. Other notable things: The authors are sure to mention that other coronavirus proteins have been found to localize in both the cytoplasm and nucleus but never discuss how their findings differ from the reference (i.e. 19 in the paper), which found exclusively cytoplasmic localization of Spike. Perhaps the authors view their work to be purely explorative, but their conclusion is pretty poorly supported and of questionable biological relevance. This makes sense considering that it was published in a lower impact factor journal (MDPI's Viruses) at a time when anyone with something novel on SARS-CoV-2 should be expected to get something published in a medium impact factor journal with considerably less scrutinizing peer review than would be expected during normal circumstances (i.e. not during a pandemic). *colloquial word for simplicity - avoids need to talk about clonal selection processes in bone marrow and lymph nodes, anergy, etc. ------ If you're curious as to my scientific qualifications, my academic and research background are predominately in microbiology with focus on molecular genetics.

there was a study once that interviewed a large number of pre med students in College and when asked why they had chosen the medical field of study, 80 percent said it was for the money while the rest said it was to help people in need. That about sums up todays situation all around. A must read is "Selling Sickness" . Its old but extremely relevant in whats going on today. Stumbled onto a number of postings about the Swedish study on Covid19 in vetro work. This link has the most quoted info from the study. Seems this varifys the same reason they ditched MRNA Protein vaccines for animals some 18 years ago. Too bad we have to go outside the cash walls of US Pharma to get any new study works.

Iv bought and sold on the free local Gun Owners with no issues. Just bought a Ruger LCP II that looked like it maybe had a couple mags threw it last month from a FTF retired cop. HUGE traffic on it. Most want trades. Your Marlin 44 is worth quite alot these days. I cant get the page to stay on here as a link so you just put in gun owners club dot com and it will pull up your local listings. Great free service.

The S&W Model 28 is nice but I all ways referr to it as "The Boat Anchor" at over 2.5 lbs on the 4", shoots soft but carry? Naw, Id pass on that. If I wanted to get spendy on a nice DA wheel gun, my vote goes for the older 686 or 586. If you want to carry it all day with less range time, the 66/19 is a sweet hart to carry. Now if your cheap like me, I opted for an old model Taurus 669 but the 689's look nice with ribbed barrels. The triggers need a little work to bring them around to near S&W function but they shoot as well as the S&W's in general. The rear sight is what S&W SHOULD have done decades ago! Pocketed a few C notes on a fine 357 S&W L frame clone. I did the trigger to a 8.5 lb DA pull and changed the grip. Keeper. JMO.

The gorilla in that closet is Trump, despite his spending faults, knew how to grow GDP. Its only that ability that has kept our "promise" money solvent for histories sake. That AH in the WH has absolutely no clue....... And to think some want to make comparisons? Better stop now before the politic monsters get stired up.

In NY, all your handguns are listed on a separate Pistol Permit Card that must be carried with the permit. Un-papered handguns carry a premium added cost to them if you want one. And those AH's think they own you. You pay more to breath the air in NY. Buy their gas and tell me not.... You have to be a fool to own anything in NY you cant carry away from there. Signed X-Fool

I hear yah.... the barrel still has 3 factory taped holes, so I just have to put one more in the receiver ring But my friend hunts in Illinois time to time in straight wall country so he wants this to be a back up to his 350 legend.
