  1. Good luck with it. The one I have is junk, and has a double action pull of about 45 pounds. I bought if from a guy who included 5 32 acp rounds with it. I told him that wasn;t the correct ammo, His response was that "it works". I'll be danged if it doesn't! Here's hoping yours is better.
  2. Perfect for a wide range of pistol and revolver loads. There are rumors swirling of it being discontinued.
  3. LOL! Perhaps he could mail a hard copy to those computer illiterate among us, like me.
  4. That old Savage looks great! I'd love a tour of the Numirich Arms place. I'll bet it huge! Here's an old 1899 my father restocked and gave me once. You're right...I really like the old Savages.
  5. It shoots fine, but it now appears the extractor is awol..........more parts from gunpartscorp! Such is my luck with a pig in a poke. I really enjoy fooling with historic pieces such as this however. This ont is chambered in 38-40, and has a 24" octagon barrel and a cresent buttplate. Had the previous owners taken care of it properly, I likely would have never had the opportunity to hold this rifle.
  6. Now it says: The page you are trying to access is not available for your account. Error code: 2C171/1 I guess I won't be participating,
  7. Link asks for my child's google account password? Is there another way to go about it? You're gonna make me scope my old model 39A Marlin. Wouldn't a 22 WMR be close enough?
  8. I've a first and second generation. I've never owned a third generation, but to me, they look as good as any other. I wasn't aware of the recent changes.
  9. I've been going through some old guns I recently acquired, and got to this ancient 1894 Marlin. After some tinkering, cleaning, etc., I decided I wanted to shoot it. Well, the ammunition wouldn't begin to chamber. A quick glance showed that dreaded ring of brass at the back of the chamber.....A case with the head ripped off. I'd like to claim this idea, as it worked great, but it was actually a suggestion from my father. I removed the bolt, and ran a tap of the proper size into the case, just deep enough to get a good bite, and drove it out with a wooden dowel. A tap and die set can be had pretty inexpensively from somewhere like Harbor Freight if you don't happen to have one already. The tap cuts threads into the brass rather than pushing the brass harder and harder into the chamber walls like an easy out or screw would do. I hope this idea might be of some help to someone here if you ever encounter a stuck case.
  10. I admire what Henry tries to do, but so far, every product they've offered has been lacking in some way for me. The closest they've come in building something that interests me is their take on the AR7...the Henry survival rifle. I really can'tsay I have a use for one of those either.
  11. Do you still intend to resell it? Nevermind.....I see it in the classifieds.
  12. I'm not a fan of the Goo Goo, but I'd give that a try!
  13. There's something simply magical about that rampant Colt emblem!Be glad the single action revolvers haven't quite reached the fever pitch of the Colt double action revolvers....yet. No kidding....these are the easiest to get your money back out of.
  14. MSRP is $427. Ouch!
  15. I actually know a guy named Stumpy. Ironically enough, he has a side business of reloading ammunition and selling it to others. Now would you buy reloaded ammo from a guy named Stumpy?
  16. I like them thar o'l timey folding pocket knives! I wasn't aware anyone else here cared for them.
  17. I don't have a milling machine, nor the knowledge to use one, so an 80% lower seems like it would be a pain in the arse to me.
  18. Oh, I understand. It doesn't seem very economical to pay shipping, transfer fees, and a background check on a $50 hunk of aluminum. Maybe you could pick some up a a local gunshow then.
  19. You ever ask at your local gun store? Most have them, but rarely have them displayed. I guess because they'd be easy to put in one's pocket and walk out.
  20. As with most other things, wearing a badge makes you exempt I suppose.
  21. Ours used to do this. I've even seen the game warden auction guns there. If it happens anymore, I'm not aware of it.
  22. Exactly! Nobody ever comes to my house to ticket me for a running vehicle.
  23. I'm listening anytime you'd like to share. If not, that's o.k. as well. My personal experience has been that it is better to formulate and execute a plan to put myself in the position I want to be in, rather than wasting my energy and time worrying about what someone else has.
  24. Sounds like envy to me. If he were broke, how would that improve your life?
