    What Visitors Have You Had to Your Yard?

    Mostly same as above, rural area. Escaped buffalo just to the north, neighbor's father had them in his yard. Recently saw a fisher go bopping across the yard. Funny thing was, when it got to the edge of the lawn and was facing the 3-4ft high wall of parsnip and golden rod, it didn't just nose...

    Old Iver Johnsons, What Gauge?

    No doubt. I checked their online parts inventory for Champions though, they got next to nuthin. To be honest, the receivers and parts are mostly just dirty; finish is gone, and some surface rust but no pitting. And they do work.

    Old Iver Johnsons, What Gauge?

    Funny though, the guy in the vid basically muttered "left-handed", but know he did. The info I got from the state library, a publication by GUN DIGEST, said nothing about it. I did send an email to Numrich, or Gun Parts Corp, with the above pictures attached, and asked if they were interested.

    Old Iver Johnsons, What Gauge?

    My thought was to get both receivers apart, clean, polish, cold blue, bling 'em up, and make something decorative. Maybe book ends or just conversation pieces...doodads for the mantle. So I watched a guy on YouTube take one apart, simple, and when he get to this one screw, he mutters this one...

    Old Iver Johnsons, What Gauge?

    I took a ride into Albany, went to the state library, and looked up a publication on taking these thing apart. Scanned the info and thought I was in business. And I was until trying to remove the barrel release lever. It is held by a small screw that would not budge...fought with it and...

    Always wanted a Mini myself...wifey watches me like a hawk.... Did buy a 308 BAR Mk3 a year ago and topped it with a used Leupold. Have not fired it yet, but it is certainly eye candy.

    FUAC. Sickening. But infanticide is ok.

    Factory 44 mag ammo for 77/44?

    Yeah, that's seems to be a consensus.

    Factory 44 mag ammo for 77/44?

    I'm putting my 77/44 rig together for deer this coming season. I have some Remington stuff and a bunch of low power reloads for my N frame, but I don't think any of it is a go for this rifle. After reading up a bit, I get a sense that jacketed bullets may not hold up to rifle velocities, 240...

    Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

    No pics here, but yesterday ordered the final item for my new deer gun....a spring. More specifically, a sear/trigger return spring for my Ruger 77/44. And the day before I finally ordered the scope for it. I decided on a Leupold 2-7x33 with an illuminated Firedot 4 reticle. Leupold may be...

    Homeowner Arrested After Shooting Burglars With Illegal Gun

    My area has several properties that should be condemned, but local government does absolutely nothing. I think there is a rural mentality involved, and I don't mean that in a negative way. It's just a distrust thing. I do wonder how people can live that way, shit everywhere.... I understand...

    Homeowner Arrested After Shooting Burglars With Illegal Gun

    The story says he can't live in it because of it's condition. If he was horder type and the place a disaster, the county may have condemned it...my guess.

    Boxes, cases, packaging to be saved?

    The joker on Ebay sold me a book he purchased with gift card on Amazon. Convoluted yes...he himself really didn't make the purchase, his partner in crime did. I would not have even known or complained if the book was hardcover...his listing on Ebay stated hardcover. The bums sold me a...

    Boxes, cases, packaging to be saved?

    Ebay? Did not consider that. Actually, I've sold quite a few things there, but it's not like it used to be. The fees, the "buy it now" angle. Man, you have to have top dollar items for the effort. Get a load of this: Just 3 months ago I bought a hardcover reloading manual and received the...

    Boxes, cases, packaging to be saved?

    Well CH, it's pretty clear where you stand! I'll say this though; online shopping makes thing worse. The amount of cardboard is crazy. I can't throw it away fast enough!

    Boxes, cases, packaging to be saved?

    I'll guess I'm not the only one. Over the years I've amassed quite a collection of the packaging that new firearms came in. You know the stuff, boxes for long guns, plastic cases that sidearms come with, assorted scope boxe, sling packaging, what a pain in ass storing this stuff. I only hang...

    In New Jersey Firearms Dealers Must Sell Smart Guns

    I remember a news story, years back perhaps, about somebody who went hunting around for scrap and put together stuff that looked like a gun of some sort. Sold it to a buy-back program to fund a real firearm. Anyway, That's a smart gun there! (Might have the story wrong....)

    Check this out, 45 ACPs made from a meteorite

    What a neat idea, pretty cool. Pistols made from a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite could fetch $1.5 million at auction

    Speaking of woodchucks...

    I would never have expected a woodchuck up on the deck, but there it was chilling out. All it needed was a cigar and a boubon. They can be a pain though. I've had several set up shop under retaining walls and in drains. Young ones spreading out. At least they don't do the damage that the...

    Speaking of woodchucks...

    I've never had it, but I understand woodchucks are quite tasty. My property has a lot of old overgrown pasture, chucks live here. If it's green they're happy. Once I glanced out the slider an saw a brown blob between the spindles of the deck railing. There was a woodchuck laying there...

    Anyone else notice moderates becoming angry with far left policies
