If it's light rust, knock it off with steel wool. If it is heavily pitted, I'd be leery about firing it.

[quote name='Hunting101' timestamp='1355064675' post='857193'] During gun season we have to wear blaze orange for safety. Imagine how hard it would be to hunt turkeys in 500 square inches of orange. Those birds can see you blink lol. It's gonna be about safety. [/quote] Thanks. I understand where you are coming from. I have a 218 Bee and 22 Hornet that are just above a 22 Magnum in performance. They make great squirrel guns, and would also be effective for turkeys. Also, I enjoy shooting squirrels with 38 Special wadcutter target loads. You can almost throw a rock with the same energy level. Several states allow centerfire guns for these purposes, and I don't believe they require blaze orange.

I agree.

I put a set of three dot sights on mine. they made all the difference.

CHECKMATE!!!!

[quote name='Dirquin' timestamp='1354817976' post='855934'] Thanks everyone. I have been around guns and shot them my entire life. But i never got into the technical parts. I plan on taking tactical courses and handling courses to improve my abilitys and be a productive/positive gun owner and display the image of gun ownership in a positive safe way. Not that ive been a bad owner or handler, just havent carried in public around strangers that may be afraid for what ever reason. I havent found anywere around my area that has tactical training. Does anyone know anywhere close by? [/quote] Welcome to the forum! I'm really liking your attitude about firearms. We should all do a better job to display the image of gun ownership in a positive, safe way. Thanks for the reminder.

Phil Valentine said it elloquently yesterday. He asked if guns are bad, why do we give police officers guns? I just can't wrap my head around the theory that anyone with a gun can suddenly go crazy and start shooting people; anybody, that is, but an LEO.

[quote name='DaveS' timestamp='1354754092' post='855470'] The odds of that are more than very slim! It's a safety issue! Dave S [/quote] Why? I deer hunt with a centerfire. Not trying to be a smart a$$; just not following you.

Had the OP told the LEO "No" when asked if he had a firearm, would the LEO have dragged him out of the car and frisked him, or would he likely have gone on about his business? Since the OP was honest about it, I wouldn't expect him to be much of a threat. You all can cheerlead for law enforcment all you want, but I see this as nothing but intimidation.

[quote name='Johnny Rotten' timestamp='1354845506' post='856189'] I like this collection, no telling now many millions sitting inside that safe [url="http://www.snopes.com/photos/architecture/gunvault.asp"]http://www.snopes.co...re/gunvault.asp[/url] [/quote] Now that's more to my liking!

They are "Cheaper than Dirt", so tape is extra.

[quote name='MississippiBoy' timestamp='1354837892' post='856100'] The heavy duty table is the one I am thinking about building. I would adapt as needed. It is number 5 on the PDF. [url="http://www.strongtie.com/ftp/fliers/DIY-PROJECT08.pdf"]http://www.strongtie...Y-PROJECT08.pdf[/url] [/quote] I would suggest you not makt the bottom shelf as wide as the top of the table as shown in the picture. You need space for your feet/legs under the table without knocking bruises on your ankles or shins. I built mine out of 2x4 and 2x6 lumber; top and all.

[quote]4. Lower the cost of license as it's to damned expensive to hunt here! [/quote] This!!!^^^ Also, I'd like to be able to hunt small game and turkeys with a centerfire rifle/handgun.

[quote name='jtmaze' timestamp='1354746659' post='855411'] Just a thought, would like to hear all arguments. How bout a flat tax so it won't be hard to prove that you pay taxes and a limit on only taxpayers can vote. That would fix the free stuff buying of elections. If the everyone was a productive member of society then this wouldn't be a problem but social programs have made purchasing an election to easy. JTM Sent from my iPhone [/quote] Sounds good, but how in the hell do you think you'd get politicians to pass it? I've always thougt that a person should be allowed 1 vote in a federal election for every dollar he/she paid in federal income taxes the previous year. There again, it would be counterproductive for any politician to even consider such a thing.

Let us know how that all turns out.

I've bought from them before. Great business in my opinion.

....and thought I'd share with you all that they have a current promotion of free shipping with $150 order! Not a bad deal if anyone here needs some ammo or reloading supplies.

Legal or not, they make a great first deer rifle for a child.

It bears a resemblance to something Mossberg or Revelation would have put out.

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1354557714' post='854288'] I may have to get me a Greg holster, if I can talk him into it. [/quote] Not for thirty bucks!

[quote name='Moped' timestamp='1354502138' post='854028'] What is a good inexpensive holster for a Ruger Blackhawk in 4 5/8" barrel? I don't really want a western style, but I would like leather. I'd like to keep it around $30 if possible. [/quote] You might dig through the boxes of used holsters at your local gun store or at tables at gunshows. $30 won't buy the material for a decent leather holster, let alone a finished product.

Thanks guys!

If both barrels are marked with an "IV" inside a box, what choke would this indicate?

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1354503512' post='854044'] Wound up getting this one...
