Went to the gun show yesterday to have a look around. Wasn't really looking for anything in particular but I'm always interested to see what shows up. Across the isle from one table I noticed a Marlin 39 ("bullseye in the stock and 22 loading slot on the tubular magazine.) As I moved closer...

Great day at the range. Lots of "boom-boom" and smoke in the air. Of course, days like that usually mean a couple of hours in the shop back at home to get em all clean again. :)

The best way that I've found to start a roll pin is with a roll pin starter. A roll pin starter is like a punch with a "divot" in the end that holds the roll pin while you start it into the hole. Then you can finish seating the roll pin with a roll pin punch. This punch has a "nipple" on the...

I inherited a Ruger M77 7mm Mag from my dad when he passed away several years ago. The gun had some significance to me due to the fact that it was the rifle I used on a trip that he and I took to Alaska about 25 years ago. I used that rifle to harvest my first (and only) caribou. When he...

I ordered a Williams receiver site for the new 39A and mounted it earlier this week. Ran out to the desert today to sight it in. I'm really pleased with this new sight. It certainly helps my aging eyes wring out more of what this gun is capable of. I used the opportunity to run several types...

Pictured below is an AR-15 Target rifle that I finished the build on in January. The scope is a Leupold Mark 4 LRT 4.5-14x40mm with a mil-dot reticle. LOVE the glass. The optics are clear and bright and the turrets are very repeatable. I can dial in windage and elevation corrections with...

I've never used a boresnake but I like the idea of breech to muzzle cleaning. I found the Otis system a few years back and I've been using it ever since. Same general principal as the boresnake except the Otis system uses a cable instead of a string. I have several Otis kits. I keep one in...

Smartshooter, The group on the target was shot at 100 yards.

I've got the Pro Hunter with 4 barrels (.17 HMR, .300 Win Mag, 25-06 Rem, and .50 caliber muzzle loader). All three rifle barrels are outfitted with their own scope and the muzzle loader is open sights. I get sub MOA on all three rifle barrels. Love my TC!!

Very nice Azizza. You should have a boatload of fun with that gun. I did an AR Target build in January of this year for varminting. When I finally got it out to test some initial loads I was delighted. The group pictured here was with 69 gr SMKs but I'm getting similar results with 55 gr...

If that 10 FCP-K shoots anything at all like my 10 FCP-HS you'll love it!!! When I set out to build a "poor man's tactical rifle" I purchased the 10 FCP-HS, mounted a Burris XTR 3X-12X mildot scope on it using the beefy Burris tactical rings, and rounded it out with a Harris 6" - 9" swiveling...

Guvnor, I've got 2 .17 HMR long guns. A Ruger 77-17 and a .17 HMR barrel for my Thompson Encore. I also have a .177 RWS airgun. I use the small caliber cleaning cable made by Otis Gun for all of them. In fact, I use the Otis system for every long gun I own. It works great!! They make a 17...

Whalerman, if you take your 39 down (i.e. separate the barrel and forearm from the stock and action) you can pull the bolt assembly out of the receiver and see the firing pin in the groove along the top of the bolt. The firing pin "floats" in this groove and is driven forward by inertia...

Thanks JustsayMO, I've been trying to match up all of my SA revolvers with lever guns. I picked up an 1894P to go with my Super Blackhawk, an 1894CSS to keep my .357 Blackhawk company, and finally the 39AS to go with the Single Six. The last two are definitely going to see the most use. I'm...

Another new proud owner of a 39 here guys. I have been thinking of getting a 22LR lever gun to go with my Ruger Single Six and over the past couple of weeks have been researching my options. I finally decided on a 39. I was a little leery of the newer models due to some of the FTE/FTF issues...

Had one a long time ago. (So long ago I can't remember who made it.) At the time I thought it was the greatest gun on earth. Of course, I was only 10 years old at the time and it was my first semiautomatic. I sold it off to buy something different and didn't have an ounce of regret. That...

I've got a P232 Stainless and it's a great little gun. I picked it up as summer concealed carry gun. The recoil is very manageable. I load it up with Cor-Bon HPs when carrying and as Sapper mentioned above, even with the Cor-Bons the gun doesn't have much in the way of muzzle rise. And of...

A while back I happened across a Marlin 1894P (16" ported bbl chambered in 44 Mag) in the "used" rack at a local gun store. The rifle was in very good condition and the asking price was reasonable so I picked it up to accompany my 3 screw Super Blackhawk. This rifle is a hoot!!! Recoil is...

Just joined THR but I've been lurking for a long time. I'll weigh in on this one. I've got a safe full of autos but when I head out to the desert for an afternoon of pistol fun there's always at least one SIG in the bag. I've got an older P226 chambered in 9mm, a newer P226 chambered in .357...
