A few years ago I found a Mossberg 46m in very good condition. Though I was never into rim fire it opened a new world to me and I enjoy the gun shows looking for those older pre 1960 rim fire riflles with peep sights. Love shooting them, they're affordable for me and the examples out there are...

My favorite is my only. A Henry .22 Trapper model with the octagon barrel and Skinner peep sigh. My wife actually picked it out of rack of Henry's in a dealer display. Sorry, that's all I got in a lever.

5 years or so ago I was denied at the local pawnshop. I've known the fella there for years and we were both shocked as it wasn't my first purchase there. He gave me the paperwork and a week later before I had sent the packet in he calls me, "still want the rifle? Come get it NICS called...

I remember using the black cap in Basic Training in 2006. It lasted all of a few hours before I shot through it at the range, forgot it was on there. Maybe red ones are a good idea.

Looking at the muzzle end the sleeve may have a miniscule gap while the 1915 Favorite sleeve can barely be seen. Looking down the barrel I may see a curve but it's hard to say for sure. I should be able to get to the smith this Friday and I'll let you all know the outcome. Thanks for the...

Thank you, Jim. Before the reline this bore was terrible and key holed bullets all over the place, so it was pretty bad. If it can't be fixed I won't be too upset, it is an old model 44 with a brown patina and no finish left whatsoever. I may start looking for a replacement barrel if the...

I realize I left out a few pertinent facts in my original post. First I guess is that 10" high 10" right is at 15 yards. The target crown they put on looks good but I don't think my framing square will tell me much, I would guess a degree off would probably translate significantly downrange...

Thanks for the feedback Kp321. My hole was drilled crooked I guess or you mentioned faulty liner. I'll get her back to the gunsmith. I saw west Texas on the news. It looked a little windy.

I had a reputable gunsmith reline my Stevens Model 44 .22lr and also a Stevens Favorite that was originally a .25rf. The Favorite came back shooting pretty well, the Model 44 shot about 10 inches high and 10 inches right. I've drifted both front and rear sight to the max on the model 44, but...

In this order over the last 3 months or so. Talk about a slight addiction 1. Mossberg 46M (b) 2. Mossberg 151M 3. Mossberg 146B 4. Mossberg 144

Cool story. My family didn't pass down guns, Grandad had only a .22 and a 12 ga, both long gone I suspect. I appreciate the family connection and memories though, of which I have plenty. 5 years out of the Army I have a respectable collection of Mossbergs and the 146b with it's funky T-bolt...

I got rid of my commander size 1911 but kept my Garrett Industries holsters, they're the perfect mix of kydex with leather liner. Low and behold, my Browning hi power and FM hi power fit perfectly. Get a hi power?

I'm a sucker for contributing to my local economy. I came across 1972 vintage Colt Detective special with no holster wear nor rust and perfect grips. Haggled for 3 days till we agreed on a price I could live with, and they were happy to make the sale. Also my first snub nose and a fine...

Keelhauling and ant hills? Biblical quotes? I like the idea of a thread about pranks you've pulled on your buddies or vice versa.

Not to bust in and invite myself necessarily, I'm in Geauga county and will attend the Warren Niles that Saturday morning if anyone would like to meet up. Also, I usually shower and put on clean clothes for a gun show.
