It's actually getting tough to find a smith to thread barrels quickly here in Fairbanks... The fastest and best now will not touch anything "firearm related". He ended up involved in the Cox fi-ass-co... My Gunsmith (through shop) wanted to wait till October... My tags start 15 August... N...

One I seen they replaced the top nut with one machined out of steel (original is AL) And added a longer firing pin with a revolver barrel turned and threaded to fit. total length was about nine (9) inches If my memory serves me right was a 32 Magnum. The owner had ferrels with a rod attached to push...

A lot depends on time of year, and what State I happen to be in. March thru November here in AK- normally a 45 Colt lately been a Smith Mountain Gun, but usually a Ruger Blackhawk. (300 gr load) If going to areas with greater chance of furry encounter- a 460 November in Texas- a Glock 20SF w/ 180 gr...

Think you mis qouted...
Should be somethin like:


Well not all of the time can we trust quickly, or trust quickies.

because of moose season starting next Wednesday, I had a rush job done on threading a barrel. Gunsmith ended up doing a tapered thread job. Other than being an issue with cleaning, is there any other problems I might encounter? Due to eye surgury, it's a can or I go back to stick and string this sea...

And the tumers can now show up anywhere.

have had one show up on my arm, on my calf, on my neck...

original tumer was on chest-


Chris

you must have got some of the same type of ammo I did

I would try a good strap wrench.

good luck,
Chris

my last form 4 took 3 monthes and 9 days. then another two weeks due to dealer taking a vacation! Just talked to him about looking at another can for a .308, he said timelines are looking at 5 monthes or more for the paperwork. He just had one person stilling pending at 10 monthes plus.... that's wi...

Well, I thought loosening after each shooting and cleaning as ssoon as poosible after would keep my can easy to come apart and reassemble. Also use anti0-sieze on the threads, shot about 100 rds of 22lr CCI subsonics, I loosened the end caps and retightened after last session, but now I can't seem t...

thanks for the info.

I had heard something on this round, but couldn't find it.

Chris

I'm still trying to find WTF is this "permit" that has started popping up.

No news of it on Texas Fish and feathers website.

No response yet from game warden yet either.

Chris

I realize I started this in the wrong forum.

Sorry,
Chris

follow -up report... I was on the range with a crony when the guy showed up this afternoon. Appartently he had forgotten he had talked up his load previosly... so..... He started in again how fast, how accuract, blah, blah! (blah,blah...) I invited him to fire a couple rounds over the screen (after ...

1. Throw gravel or sand in and use for weight over the wheels in the winter. Would have traction matriel if do get stuck. 2. Wadded up they make fair insulation also. 3. Use in place of tarps when camping. 4. Store sleeping bags and such, they are almost water proof. 5. Buy bulk deer (or other anima...

I know the type. Some of them believe they know it ALL.

Chris

I believe you are right..!

Bytes my ass sometimes... Today a "shooter" came in and claimed his reloads were getting "3350 fps with a 180 grain in a 300 WSM with xx.x grains of IMRxxxx." Now most folks know that the 300 WSM is a pet of mine, I really like it. So I was pretty sure he was blowing smoke. Tonig...

My "brother" in Texas, will shoot and leave a small piggy in the trap sometimes. Seems to really load up the trap with more boars. But does smell sometimes to high heck. So I have to believe that a little blood doesn't hurt anything for feral pigs. His usual bait is corn soaked in beer.......

anything new on this topic?

I'm interested in 300 WSM for hunting Texas deer.

Chris

congrats.

they do cause lots of damage.

Have you tried eating one?

Also watch out for leprosy...


Chris

John, had n't thought of using a 150 or lighter projectile. good call. am waiting for appt this friday before "shortening" the barrel, but am thinking of going to 18 to 20 inches... Gunsmith thinks 16 1/2 would be better for my needs right now, and the magnum can would still add 10 1/2 inc...

would like recommendation for "quiet" load in 300 WSM for deer hunting in Texas. Will be using a suspressor of course! But, since they just passed the law.... Was looking at having to change calibers due to eye surgeries- both now, and they put cadaver tissue in the right so will be at lea...

I hate to say it but... Sometimes I like the reminder. Example: I am playing with a Mare's Leg. It was orginally sold has a "handgun". I have already had a Law Enforcemnet officer try and tell me it is a "cut-down rifle". I also have changed the caliber to 454 Casull, and added a...

Dealer I know (and buy from) just showed me (a copy of the form) what slowed down one of his customers. The guy put "Ex-wife" in block 4 i.... he had to explain in writing, "was just trying to keep the money away from her......." ATF sent form back, and dealer added "-protec...

Decided to go with a black shotgun style buttpad. Also, since I have "adjusted" this 45 Colt handgun to 454 Casull... rubber will keep but from digging into wrist. :) Again the shotgun style is shorter and doesn't have slots for "recoil" reduction, won't look like a real short sh...
