    Pecatonica River Underhammer kit.

    I think I am going to go with a .45, but can't make up my mind what barrel. The length is long on the barrels Pecatonica sells, I was wandering how long they can be without being front heavy.

    Pecatonica River Underhammer kit.

    Interesting desidog. I hadn't thought much on the barrel, or what size. I just figured on ordering a .45, for round balls. Like I said I'm green at this, like most everybody else in this part of the world a ML rifle, was just something for once a year deer hunting, or so it seemed. I want...

    Pecatonica River Underhammer kit.

    Thanks for the feedback. Looks like a potentially, rewarding project. I'll probably have to give it a try.

    Pecatonica River Underhammer kit.

    I am very interested in underhammer rifles and pistols. My neighbor who used to own one (a 45. H&A), said they were really accurate, and just pretty nifty overall. I was curious about this particular kit, and if it was worth the money, or a good entry level gun, or not. I want to put together a...

    Percussion BP Plinker.

    Well I guess I just want to like the Crockett, meh, I sorta knew it wasn't top notch. I'll try and look elsewhere. The Lyman looks nice, but I'm sorta drawing blank past Pedersoli, is that the nicest production pistol (single shot, percussion) out there ? Or is there better production stuff I'm...

    Percussion BP Plinker.

    I have an 1858 Pietta, I've tried to take good care of it, it sorts a speck of rust (really annoys me) in one of the chambers that doesn't want to budge, all in all a fine pistol, even holds up to my abuse. I was wanting a single shot of the sake of aesthetics. I have a TC Renegade in 50, but...

    Percussion BP Plinker.

    I'm on the hunt for a reasonably priced, single shot, percussion pistol, for plinking, and probably nothing more. I'm thinking 45, or smaller, and have my eye one a Traditions Crocket pistol, in 32. I had a horrendous experience with one of their flintlocks, but am willing to forget that, seeing...

    Zastava M85 in 7.62x39mm - abbreviated range report

    I've been interested in this rifle, since it was marketed as the Remington 799, I'd like to think that a 7.62*39 bolt gun would make for a practical, deer rifle for me. Been between this and the 527, and in all honesty like the CRF the 527 offers. A true, or well truer mini mauser IMHO. I hear...

    Which one - Savage or CZ

    Cz in a 452 if you can find one. The 455 is fine by all means, but the Lux, and ultra Lux have tangent sights, that are pretty nifty.

    Chopped an older H&R single shot to 20" and re-installed orig bead

    That's beautiful work, I'm sure you didn't hurt the value in the least bit, those old, utilitarian shotguns, are stacked in the local pawn shops here, for nominal amounts. They're great deal IMHO, especially the older H&R Toppers. The work you did looks amazing, I cut an older topper down to...

    50YDS with the CZ452 (Picture Problem)

    I hope to snag a Lux, with the 28" barrel, I've become partial to the longer sight radius on my Remington 41, and Winchester 67. I think longer barrel lengths on 22s is sorta a thing of the past aside from this particular CZ. Seems like it would be a pleasant shorter, especially at longer...

    Ordered one of my wait list guns today -CZ452 Ultra Lux

    I've wanted one of those for what seems ages, congrats. I think you'll really enjoy it. I love tangent sights, and would like to have a rimfire rifle that sported them, I think'd be entertaining to test them out to 300 meters, and see how well they hold over. The barrel length is great, I'm more...

    .45LC Lever-Action Recommendation?

    I've got a Rossi R92 20" in 45LC, that's a rough, but serviceable rifle IMHO. They initially seem sorta rugged, but slick up considerably with use. They're utilitarian rifle AFAIC, and not really a wall hanger. I really enjoy mine, and added a Marbles Bullseye rear sight, and find it advantages...

    What .22 for a backpacking hunting gun?

    I've gotta say if weight was all you were concerned about, the S&W 317 would be an attractive option, but not the best shooter, seeing as a 1 7/8, or 3" barrel isn't ideal for a field gun. I'm a bit of a traditionalist at heart, and would love a Bearcat, for the purposes you describe, but on a...

    Picked up a new PMR 30 today

    Those things are as rare as hen's teeth, around here. You did great. I'd love to try one. 30 rounds of 22 magnum in a flush fitting magazine, is pretty attractive.

    What is going on with .22LR ammo?

    Local Academy has Remington GB, 1 50 round box, per customer, per day, but they're still selling it nonetheless. I suppose if you're in a real bind it's a good thing, as for me I see it as a small step towards normalcy. They have it on display behind the customer service desk, pretty outlandish...

    Ruger 77/357 is mine!

    Sounds like an unlikely combo, but the 77/357 is plenty practical IMHO. Pistol cartridges and whitetail mix AFAIC. That is if you were wanting to hunt deer with it. I've noticed that several people have stated that the 77/357 and 77/44 are built on the smaller 22 hornet frame. Not that this is a...

    Limited to One Handgun

    I could see a real classy, full size, automatic pistol, chambered in 9MM like a CZ 75 B as being a serviceable enough, and aesthetic enough weapon to be my one an only pistol, also with a Kadet conversion unit it'd be an economical choice as well. I dunno if the conversion unit would have any...

    New old crossbow

    Looks great, I like the smaller profile, recurve crossbows, and hope to get a Excaliber Ibex, or something similar. A bit less to go wrong, than with say a compound, though they are harder on strings from what I understand, either way, I could probably suffice with a less powerful, more...

    AR's stacked like cord wood

    Regardless, I'm just enamored to see AR 15s, and black rifles being sold at mainstream places like Wal-Mart. I was concerned that they would indefinitely pull them from the shelves in light of the tragedies that took place. The Academy I went to yesterday, had a good selection of Colts, as well...
