    What revolver is this?

    Thanks for the post as it's something I have never heard of. I'll confess to not keeping up with guns things now like I did in the past. It looks good but not something I would spend money on.

    Ruger Mark II Disassembly/Reassembly "Struggle Bus". Latest Experience.

    I don't own a MK II but do a III. Sorta the same critter though. I make sure to have the owner's manual on my work desk when I take it apart. Follow the steps described and reassembly is not difficult. I seldom break it apart and completely forget just what goes where when I do.

    Difficult rifle decision to make

    In your shoes I would keep the AK and since you have some ammo shoot a little now and then and also get an AR to fill that desire but it's really your decision in the long run. My shoes have never had any interest in an AK or SKS. I bought an AR to use coyote hunting and since that activity is...

    Single shot 22

    Building a single shot 22 was on my to do list for years. I was going to do a Frank DeHass design but I never managed to find the time to get started. When I did have time essential tremors had become bad enough to mess up my welding skills and I gave up on the idea. All those years as an ASME...

    How often do you clean your gun?

    Every gun I own gets an exterior wipe-down after it's shot. Innards when they need it. That method has worked for many years for me so I am not going to change.

    Single shot 22

    Ah, it isn't that bad, just slow. It makes them less expensive to shoot because of the slowness. Look on the bright side. :thumbup:

    Another one bites the dust

    Our universal background check got Walmart in NM. They said they didn't have people trained to do the checks and would not spend money to train them. Funny thing is they were selling a lot of rifles and shotguns, at least at my Walmart. I have always wondered how they were able to do that and no...

    Can your woods carry gun ring steel at 100yds?

    Great shot. Now do it over and over again.

    New Browning Hi Power Custom returned to me

    HPs have never really flipped my interest switch but that is certainly a nice one.

    Welp, I was given a Hawken

    Real black powder disappeared around here many years ago unless you bought a case so I switched to pyrodex that is always available. Never had bit of problem with it. I might be talked into using a plastic measure with and in line---if I could be talked into owning one and that won't ever...

    Why Own a Snubby?

    Personally I do not like snubbies and I don't carry except in my vehicle and it is a full size gun. The SUV or jeep doesn't seem to notice the weight and it's legal. I haven't found a way to carry concealed that doesn't show on my skinny frame and have given up. Many years ago I bought my wife...

    Only three...

    I have never seen a need to keep up with the Jones likely because my parents that lived through the Great Depression taught me something about living within my means. I bought what I liked and could afford. I do have more than 3 rifles but finally learned that I didn't have the time to shoot all...

    Prairie dogs, Wind, and the 17HMR

    I always had good luck using it when we had prairiedogs. Wind drift is actually less than with 22 LR although it's hard to convince some people that it is. Thanks to poison, plague, and our long extended drouth "dogs" are few and far between now. The last live one I saw was standing up watching...

    Memorial Day

    Two of my wife's uncles were B-17 pilots in WW II and are interred in Europe. Her older brother obtained pictures of their graves, all she will ever see. None of my uncles perished although the youngest did return with a Purple Heart which he described as a trinket for receiving a scratch...

    New Mexico 7 day waiting period to purchase a gun law

    Our governor and her ultra liberal legislature is dead set on making life worse for us with laws that accomplish nothing at all or make matters worse. She terms out but what is waiting in the wings is as bad or worse than her.

    Protecting a Handgun “In-the white”

    Johnson's except they stopped producing it. Min-Wax has what seems to be a duplicate. I have 2 cans of Johnson's so should never need anymore. It takes very little for a firearm.

    Protecting a Handgun “In-the white”

    Paste wax will do the job. Since wax can't be built up with additional coats I do two and the second is to get any little spots I miss with the first. I have done one handgun and a highly modified 10/22 in white years ago and they still have no blemishes at all today. Another option is clear...

    New Mexico 7 day waiting period to purchase a gun law

    I remember reading about it in the American Rifleman when it was in the works but have forgotten any details. It is a long drive from the far southeast corner of the state to there and I only passed by the gate when returning from a trip to South Dakota to see the presidents. We took a longer...

    Talk to me about hunting with muzzleloaders. Does everyone go inline? Do some states require traditional?

    I answered your question in my original reply. Any muzzle loader has to use open sights for hunting.

    New Mexico 7 day waiting period to purchase a gun law

    I already know the new BS laws but thanks for posting a link for those that won't use Google. At least our little troll that has instigated all this mess terms out this next election.
