I moved and the old Gun's Illistrated or Gun Digest all marked up with the cartridge ballistic chart, what single shot kills at what range, had to go, due to lack of space. I do have others, should I be in seriouse dream mode again. Energy at 200-300-400 yards for one shot kills, is your...

Over penetration inside your own house is something you don't want. 0 buck Goose shot is fine.... or Glazier safety bullets in a pistol. I shot him with goose shot Judge, not that "evil" buckshot, is another factor in some areas. No one at the receiving end, would know the difference.

A slug penetrates plaster board in a house too much. You might have some one you love on the other side of that wall. Buckshot works best. I have read as mentioned here Number 1 buck or 0 buck works best because you can get more into your shell. A near miss with a slug at 10 feet or 7 yards is...

How does Ithaca rate?

Laying ass down a strip loader was safer, in any case. I'd always thought a good man with a L-E, could shoot about as fast as a lever rifle. I very much admire the M-14, the M-1's little brother. I immagine one didn't have to clean the M-1 any more than the M-16. I have never shot a M-1, I...

I'd buy a Cooper bolt action .22. By the time all costs of modifing the Ruger are compiled, it wouldn't take that much more to buy a .22 that shoots into one hole at 50 yards.

I am going to double my speculative investments...this week. I'm going to play the lottery twice. Having seen the prices wanted for the old M&H's.

Pulled up and out for ready, pull down to block trigger for safety? Thank you guys a lot. I am writing a western(should be done this month), and one of the Villains has a .40.70.380 "What Cheer" Peabody Mid Range Creedmoor, with a "powerful" 4 power side mounted Malcome telescope sight. He...

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Notice the comma, the men who wrote it, were well versed in English, therefor knew why they put the comma in there.

How is the trigger on those pistols? The single actions and the double actions. I have a few nice pictures on my computer for my screen saver, but don't know how to copy it here. One shows thier own style of engraving.

Any idea where the safety was and how the safety worked?

Does a Peabody-Martini have a safety? No where in my reading does it mention that. ""Note that the cocking indicator is changing position when the lever is lowered.""" Could it be the cocking lever is pulled back as a safety. It sould be odd that a military or a hunting rifle would...

I read that three ship loads of pistols to the Russians were not paid, and some one ran off with $100,000 of company money. Over a short time they had some 4 or more handles you could pick from. A barrel change took 10 seconds. from a 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 or a 7 inch barrel. The best made pistol of...

The Springfield Allen conversion was the a good lay down and shoot rifle. Standing it would be a mess. 12 shots a minute, minute after minute. The Peabody Military rifle was picked as the rifle the US Army 1866 wanted of all tested. It had a hammer added, for safety. The Spencer had a...

The Original Peabody did not have that hammer, looking like the Peabody-Martini. and had the fastest trigger time of it's day. The Peabody-Martini made great civilian guns in or for the states. The Kill deer and Creedmoor What Cheer, are fine looking rifles. It's .40 caliber were fine Midrange...

The Peabody rifle was picked as the replacement rifle for the Army in 1866. The Allen convesion to the Springfield was used instead to save money. The Orignial Peabody looked similar to the Peabody-Martini, but the Army wanted saftey, a hammer that had to be pulled back, and that any...

If I have luck, a picture will show up showing 15 shots in a row in a three foot bull, at 1000 yards shot laying down back wards, from the Creedmoor style. Slightly cross legged, resting the barrel off your left foot, aiming from a high precision even for now sight one inch off the end of the...
