I friend of mine was given a 410 sxs that didn't work. He didn't want to fool with it so he gave it to me. My initial reaction was what a piece of junk. There was rust spots all over the exterior. The safety was frozen and the main problem was the triggers would not reset. The more I held it and threw it up to my shoulder the more i like it. I decided that this could be a fun little gun to play around with. I took it apart to see what I was dealing with. Good gravy what a mess. There was rust and solidified oil every where. This looks like a job for the dremel with a little wire brush wheel. I took it apart and went to town on every piece of metal I could find. When I finished, everywhere I could reach was smooth and clean. Then I started using gun scrubber for the places the dremel would reach. Most of the parts where in good shape but I did replace some of the springs. I replaced the cocking lever springs, firing pin springs and the sear springs. I gave all the interior parts a nice light coating of lubricant and put it back together. I pushed the top lever and broke it open and heard the nice clicks of the triggers resetting. Closed it and pushed the safety to the off position and pulled the first trigger...click...pulled the second trigger...click...aaahhhhh Success!!!!!!! This turned out to be a fun little project. I've got maybe $25 invested in it and I couldn't be happier.

Very cool. Hope it goes up a lot!

Nice!

That's exactly the reason. The TWRA has said that it is to stop poaching. The state says we (permit holders) are responsible enough to carry our weapon with us just about everywhere we go. The TWRA thinks that as soon as we put our camo's on that we become immoral, unethical poachers that can't be trusted. I just don't get it. I believe that people should be trusted until they have proven they can't be trusted. It is pretty sad how cynical this world has gotten.

Thats not why he looks like a jackass...:D

http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12615 I am glad this man had his gun with him for protection even though he was breaking the law. I generally support the TWRA. Unfortunately they really have their heads up their a$$ on this issue. There is no good reason to prohibit carrying while hunting. Of course you can carry it during gun season as long as the caliber is big enough and the barrel is 4" long. This means I can't carry during archery season, muzzleloader season or turkey season. And during gun season I can not carry my SW 638, I have to carry my 1911. It is an idiotic rule. OK rant off...

I am also a big guy. Actually a little bigger than you. I used to carry a Kahr P45. I had the same problems as you. The back of the slide would become uncomfortable when doing certain things. I ended up switching my carry gun to a SW 638. It is much more comfortable to carry because of its shape. I carry mine in a Kramer IWB holster with no problems. It also fits nicely in my shorts pocket.

Dude, you need a haircut you hippie...:D

Couldn't get to third base with a bowling ball...

Ruger MK II & III are a blast to shoot. Top gun in the pic is my MK II that used to have the slab side barrel in the bottom of pic on it. It was a tack driver. The 2nd gun in the pic is my MK III. You can never have to many .22's

cause I sure didn't. All I saw is one rabbit. Heard a lot of coyotes before dawn but didn't see any.

Since deer season opens tomorrow let share some of our favorite recipes. Here is one of my favorites: Carne Asada Venison Put the following ingredients into a blender: 1 jar (16oz) of your favorite salsa 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup lime juice 1 packet Lipton Onion soup mix Blend until smooth. Take your favorite cut of meat and pour the blended mixture over the meat. I usually use a ziplock back or tupperware. Reserve some of the mixture for brushing on while grilling and some as a dipping sauce. Let this marinate overnight at least but I usually let it marinate for 2 days. The acids from the salsa and lime juice really help tenderize the meat. When ready to cook take the meat out of the marinade and throw the marinade away. You can now either pan fry it or throw it on the grill. What ever you do don't cook it past medium rare. Thats some good eating right there.

I think Kwik only shops at Opry Mills

Really cool pics Brent. I was out putting the final touches on a ground blind yesterday. Can't wait for Saturday morning!

FWIW - Here is what Blue Book says: MODEL 1934 - 7.65mm or .380 ACP cal., (9mm Corto cal.), 3 3/8 in. barrel, fixed sights, blue, plastic grips, Italy's service weapon in WWII, one of the most common Beretta pistols - over one million manufactured between 1934-80, many of the military pistols have a parkerized finish, usually fit with metal-backed grips, later guns have an alphabetical prefix. Post-war production (1946) serial numbers start with C00001. Grading 100% 98% 95% 90% 80% 70% 60% $550 $425 $325 $275 $200 $175 $150 Add 10% for high polish, unless post-war production. Add 20% for Italian Air Force. Add 300% for post-war commercial deluxe pistols which were engraved, gold plated, and cased with a spare mag. and cleaning brush.

There is just something primal about touching off a round that leaves a big ole hole. I gets me all fired up when I am out shooting them. Here is what I have in the big bores: Ruger African in .375 Ruger - some consider the .375 Ruger/.375 H&H to be medium bore rounds but I consider them the starting point for big bores. My .375 Ruger delivers 2840fps and 4835 ft-lbs at the muzzle with a 270gr bullet. Marlin 1895 in 45-70 - older cartridge but still leaves a big hole. It produces 1790 fps and 2158 ft-lbs with a 325gr bullet. The big daddy of them all: Armalite AR-50 in 50 bmg it produces 2910 fps and 12,500 ft-lbs with a 699gr bullet. So who else here likes shooting big bores and what do you shoot?

Just picked up a 100rd box of wwb at Wally World for $20. I think that is about the going rate. What is everybody else paying for 9mm target ammo?

That rocks!!

Anybody notice that this for sale in San Francisco? I didn't think they had any manly men there...

Always makes me sleepy after just a little bit...

Leverguns are a lot of fun. Here is mine in 45-70. I think one in .357 would be cool. I also have a henry levergun in .22.
