When getting frustrated while fixing the dishwasher or other home appliance:D, your wife says "whack it with a babbit honey".

get an 18" for your your 870 and load it up with #2 or # 3 bb's. I load mine with 00 buck, but I also don't worry about penetrating my neighbor's inerds. If you are really worried about shooting through the walls, load the 1st shot with rubber buck which you can buy here in Ca, it is non-lethal...

ZOINKS! I think your "before" pict is a M700 ADL. The "after" looks decent though. Best-MC

Hey Bedrock, where are you located? I'm from Great Falls.

I will recommend a Galco "sm112". Double stitched in the U.S.A. I have one for my 2-3/4" speed-six ruger 357 mag, and it has no straps, but it does cover the hammer. Another traditional leather I'd recommend is Bianchi's 5BHL with thumb strap-I have two of those and they carry and perform like...

Yes-the 300 win mag trumps the other two in every endeaver except cost of ammo. 30-06 AND 7MM REM are excellant up thru elk, but not as good as 300 win mag period. The 300 goes much faster and delivers much more energy at every range with every bullet weight. Now....... fwiw..... I own a 270...

go for it! I have a Marlin 1894c and love it! The winchester is rare for obvious reasons! Get it and never regret it! Enjoy-Mike

I would buy it on the fact that it is exceedingly rare in the Marlin flavor. Winchester pumped out Mc_thousands of them (I have a 1950 94 Win.32 W.S.) and Marlin produced far fewer and before going with the 35 rem. The 32 win special is a ballistic twin of the 30-30 and nothing fancier, but I...

How about a single action (Ruger Vaquero or BlackHawk).45 colt, .41 mag or similar? Or maybe a .357 rev in 4" or 6" like a s&w 586, 686 or Ruger GP100? Or maybe a Sig P220-.45 acp? What do you like? Maybe another .22? How about a Ruger single-six in .22lr / .22mag with the long 9.5" bbl...

FWIW- "Sheep Creek "is way central Mt near King's Hill Showdown Ski area. I know you mentioned Sheep Mountain, others mentioned Sheep Creek, so I thought I would clarify where Sheep Creek is located. My Great Grandfather was an original homesteader in Minn & Big Sandy,Mt where my uncle has run...

I too, have had many misfires with the Remington thunderbolt stuff in my Buckmark. I now use federal and winchester ammo as it solved my problems.

Well, not any kills, but an aquaintenance of mine negligently shot himself 2 times with a .25 acp in the index finger. In the index finger. Punctured and bruised but not broken as I recall. The 1st shot suprised him plenty, and the 2nd shot hurt as bad as the 1st and was a reflexive shot. Kind...

Encapsulate it in a chunk of jello or tie it to a rump roast and perform your own documented/pictoral ballistic experiments and post the end results back here. Best-MC

I have been to the Glock armourer's course but don't own a Glock. I chose the Sigma 40VE too. I also have a Sig-Sauer P220, a Beretta 92 Brigadier and other S&W's & Rugers & a Dan Wesson. I love the Sigma and trust it as much as the others. I like Glocks ok, but they point slightly into the sky...

Yes it is safe to carry with one in the chamber. It is double action, so the striker isn't sitting in "cocked" postition, and it has a striker block, so gun could be dropped and still not fire. Just make sure your holster choice covers the trigger group. I purchased an Accumold by Bianchi for...
