    Big Sigh. I'm getting old(er) and my rifle shows it

    Well I am 35 and have 20/800 without glasses. With glasses its 20/20. I can still see handgun sights and get a fairly crisp picture of the target. But for rifles scopes are pretty much mandatory. Getting several things to focus at once, nah somethings going to be fuzzy. Different profile...

    Last breakfast.

    We have a donkey, probably need more than one to cover the acreage. Have had him two years, and have seen him chasing a few, and seemingly ignoring a few.

    Last breakfast.

    March of 2014 Saw him following the herd for three days before I got a clear shot when he crossed the fence into some recently cut pines. 265 yards, 22-250 Remington 788. January 28 of 2013 Calf had been ate, whether killed by him or not, don't know. Another coyote was seen but got...

    Last breakfast.

    Flintknapper, I agree with you, not all calves being ate by coyotes were killed by them. I am pretty sure this calf was alive. I have actually saw a coyote chasing, catching, and killing a calf. I have also passed cows, on two different occasions, with perfectly healthy calves while putting...

    Last breakfast.

    This morning I woke up to the cows mooing and acting strange. Did not take long to spot the culprit. The sad part is that the neighbors have commercial chicken houses and daily have a stray chicken or two running around the outside of the barns. The coyotes usually go over and kill the stray...

    .30 Carbine Ammo Question

    Magtech would not be a consideration for me. I bought 500 rounds to shoot and save the brass, big mistake. Ammo quality seems ok but the brass is worthless. The primer pockets are oversized by quite a bit. About half have their primers fall out upon ejection. Early model universal, ww2...

    If you had 30 handguns to sell...

    I have taken a few guns to a local gunstore and sold on consignment. After a few weeks at your price, he list them on gunbroker. Longest it took for one to sell was about a month. He charges 7% commission. Listing on gunbroker with the variety of firearms you have would probably be wise.

    Ever feel like your guns are just messing with you?

    Ever feel like your guns are just messing with you? Yes. Bought a S&W 13-1 off of a friend. I like it, but it overlaps several I already own. Shot it a box of ammo though it and cleaned it. Functioned fine, smooth trigger and hitting to point of aim. Head to the gun store Monday, thinking...

    Reliability of Fiocchi and Estate Shotgun Ammo?

    Same situation here. Local big box stores don't carry 16ga and only one gun store carries any. Shot both brands this dove season. Fiocchi seemed cleaner but estate was cheaper. Both shot fine.

    Mossberg 500 Extraction Problem

    I've had similar problems in the past. The problems I had were the chambers were dirty, rough, or very slight rusty. It does not take much for the shell to have something to grab and increase extraction resistance. My simple solution is to take a worn out brass brush and wrap 0000 steel wool...

    Remington Model 11 Refurbishing

    Chris, Numrich was the only place i could find the springs. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/Remington-33454/Shotguns-37896/11-41186.htm?results=100 Right now some of the recoil springs are sold out for the various gauges and shot capacities. I have always been told that...

    Remington Model 11 Refurbishing

    Do yourself a favor and replace the recoil spring and action spring. Mine functioned good, but seemed to recoil a bit much. With the friction ring set for heavy loads it would cycle light field loads no problem. The spings had set and were 1.5 inches shorter than the new ones. Here is a good...

    Remington 30 carbine

    I recently bought some vintage Remington 30 carbine for a Ruger Blackhawk. The boxes are from 1964 to 1973. The lot prefix is L and i was hoping to pin down the exact year. Any help or info would be appreciated.

    Junkyard Shotgun - Im a moron

    Probably alright with the ports. Mossberg 190kb had sort of similar shaped cuts on the sides. Make sure to wear saftey glasses or a face shield though, don't want to find out the hard way if its gonna spit at you.

    CB Semi

    I have seen one model of rifle that would shoot cb shorts reliably for about 50 rounds if it was really clean before you started shooting. High Standard Sports King Model A101 22 s,l,lr is the rifle. See them occasionally for around a hundred dollars locally.

    Mossberg 190

    Don't think there are many options, without drilling and tapping. With family history, I would leave it alone and enjoy.

    Marlin 60 Accuracy: Facts, not Fiction.

    Made in the sixties and seventies, the High Standard Sport King will shoot shorts, longs, and long rifles. Sears also sold them as a house brand, Sears 25. They were tube fed. See them for around $125, used of course. http://www.histandard.info/models/rifles.html Here is one on gun broker...

    Marlin 60 Accuracy: Facts, not Fiction.

    Good shooting. Stainless or blued? This is typical of the Marlin 60. Good accuracy, reliable, and good ergonomics. If available try some Winchester Super X Solids, cheaper than CCI, and just as if not more accurate.

    Bounty Hunter Opinions

    Hello to all. A local gun store has a LNIB Eaa Bounty Hunter for $250 out the door. It is the blued 22lr/22mag convertible, with 6.75 inch barrel. It looks well made. Not quite a Ruger, but not a Single Six price either. I was wandering what the opinion of the pistol is. Quality, accuracy, and...
