"Good" and "Light" are easy to find but if you want both those forget "Cheap". Save up your shekels and buy a Beretta.

I have RCBS and an old Herters that are almost the same but now I use the Lee trimmers and put the cutter in my drill press and the base holder in a drill vise. Very quick and accurate.

M. M. Wright

All those rounds are loaded with the same hollow point, cast bullet so I think they are hand loads. Neat to have those to go with the rifle. Sure would be nice to have the original barrel. Seems to me the crescent butt plate denotes a rifle and yours appears to have a carbine barrel now. Get that le...

You can't have more than 3 shots when dove hunting anyway (migratory bird) so why bother with all that extra contraption for one more bullet? I really like my Baretta s x s double. Looks a lot like the one above in the picture with the pheasant. Mine's a 12 but the 20s they make are really nimble. T...

Let's see, I guess it was '62 or '63 that Uncle took my M2 Carbine and issued me an M-14. Never felt better about what I was armed with. I could easily swap my 12 pound , (loaded) FAL for one and get by just fine. I still need a Jeep though. It's been too many years since I've owned one.

M. M. Wright

I think 44 magHunter is correct. Looks like 'Coon to me.

God bless you and keep us posted on your mission.

Prayers up!

I remember killing a prairie chicken and watching it bounce just like a football when it hit the ground. You just know that it's gonna be tough.

M. M. Wright

I'm with 6 on this. I do have a Colt SAA in 44 Special but it always wears a 44-40 cylinder to match up with 2 73s and a 92 in that caliber. I do know if you rechamber a 44 Special to 44-40 it leaves a ring around the chamber that doesn't clean up. But they do feed better. Don't ask how I know this.

M. M. Wright

I keep ogling a 308 DPMS at the local Wally World for $914 but I have had a FAL for quite a while now. Scoped it with a Redfield 2 3/4 X and it shoots about 2 inch groups if you count the hand charged round. The rounds fired from being chambered by the guns action are much tighter. If I load 2 in th...

M. M. Wright

Way to go man! I love it. Makes me wish I'd never traded my '76 off. Guess I'll have to use my '86.

M. M. Wright

Show this video to your school kids. It goes a long way to explain why they need to learn math and physics and how much fun they can be.

+1 to 7.62 and Grizz

The Cheaper Than Dirt catalogue I got last month had Colt ARs for $749. Didn't pay much attention but noticed while at the Wanamacher last week that is a good price.

M. M. Wright

Most custom makers will do belt loops from canvas that do not corrode your brass. I think it looks very period correct for 1890 or so.

M. M. Wright

Came home from the Wanamacher this last week-end with a trap door. Never owned one before but it was just too cheap and had not been altered at all. Just has one wing of the rear sight broken off. Terrible bore too. We'll see how it progresses. Don't see how you could lose anything by replacing that...

M. M. Wright

From what you've said about his present activities I wouldn't give up on the stand you shot him from. He just might check the scrapes there again. Sure hope you get him, stay with it.

M. M. Wright

Wow Perry, that was a really good video. I have a 90 lb pot off a Magma casting machine that I have been wanting to get going for years. This will let me get it going though I may need more amperage for the huge heater in it. Should only need a bigger relay. The interlude was a very nice touch. I've...

M. M. Wright

Great picture, makes me wish I still had my W. C. Scott and Son double. Traded it for (of all things) a camera lens.

Not sure if it's proper but I said a prayer for Tia.

M. M. Wright

Thanks 7.62, that's interesting stuff and should be in True West magazine.

M. M. Wright

I had an old Caddy, ('55) that had a Marvel Mystery Oil top oiler on it. Plate under the carb. It had 180,000 on it when I got it so I bought the oil and filled the reservoir. Don't remember where it went or when but the stuff works. I have a full can under the sink in my shop kitchen. Never thought...

M. M. Wright

Good hunt and thanks for the pics. I've always had a very soft spot for the 99F, especially in 250/3000. Tell us about the car. I'm restoring/hot rodding a 41 Mercury that looks a lot like the one you took the picture of. Only difference in the Mercury and the 46 Ford is about 4 inches in the hood a...

M. M. Wright

For the last 10 years or so I've depended on a black snake to take of my rodent problems. Last time I saw him, he was about 7 feet but has disappeared from my shop building so I set some of my old steel traps baited with peanut butter and olive oil. The smaller critter has been eating the bees wax/o...

M. M. Wright

This is the take from my trapline this morning. The big one, caught by the hind foot faced me at 10 feet and I shot him with the '92 in 32-20. 115 cast Pb over 10 grains of 2400. Gutted and gilled him. I've always figured the 32-20 was too light for a white tail but now I'm inclined to try it on a s...

M. M. Wright

Thanks for the pics man. Looking forward to the next installment.

M. M. Wright

vancelw, I sent a pair to an engraver in Springfield Mo. and he had someone reverse plate the gold off. I tried it myself and ruined a hammer so beware of trying it yourself though I'm sure it's possible with the right chemicals and current. I think I used too much amperage. A plater who does gold s...

M. M. Wright

Good job! I've bought several commemoratives because they are generally cheaper than standard models. I've re-barreled one 2nd gen 100th year anniversary model into a 4 3/4" Colt Frontier Six Shooter, (44-40). It is really tough getting that ugly gold off the hammer, trigger and grip frame but ...

M. M. Wright

Hearty applause for your choice in armaments. Real similar to what I would choose 'cept my 38-40 single action tack driver is a 7.5" Bisley.
Have FUN!

M. M. Wright

I have a Rossi '92 in 44-40 with a Lyman tang sight and the 24" octagon barrel. Really like it but usually end up shooting one of my Uberti '73s. I should put the '92 up for sale.

M. M. Wright

Does Armi San Marco chamber their '92 for 38-40? I traded for one recently in .45 Colt and it seems to be a pretty good rifle. Have you considered '73s? I know Uberti chambers them for 38-40 and there is NOTHING smoother or sweeter than a '73 that's been slicked up a little.

M. M. Wright

Like most here I really like hearing and seeing your hunts. Thanks!

M. M. Wright

I really find that top one with the Bisley hammer to be especially beautiful. Do you mind saying who did the work and the engraving? I have a pair of 2nd gens with "Scratch" engraving and ivory grips.

M. M. Wright

Slow down. Take it easy. You'll get a more harmonious outcome.

M. M. Wright

Try some olive oil. It was what the cavalry used back in the day for all their leather stuff. Of course they put bee's wax over that and made it shine. For my older stuff I use Black Rock leather treatment. It's what they use at the Cowboy Hall of Fame. I know, it has a new name which I can never re...

M. M. Wright

Prayers up!

M. M. Wright

Wow! No one writes like that any more. Loved it and thank you for making it available.

M. M. Wright

Happy Birthday Paco!

Thanks for reminding us Jim T.

M. M. Wright

Elmer?

M. M. Wright

What about that first round from a semi-auto? Racking the slide or releasing the bolt to strip that first round seems to always put it outside the group of self shucked rounds. I've noticed this with 1911s and my FAL is really bad about it. I can load 2 rounds in a magazine, let the bolt strip the t...

M. M. Wright

Kinda the way the Swiss do it?
Registering for the draft, vote and your weapons pack all at 18. Sounds good to me.

M. M. Wright

Find myself wanting maybe a couple of AR-15s. I have a FAL because I like the .308 but it is HEAVY! 12 pounds 4 ounces with a loaded magazine and 2.75X Redfield. 7.62, would you please write us up your recommendations as to what to buy? I think I would like 20" bbl with 1in7 or 8 twist and the ...

M. M. Wright

Lovely. Just simply lovely.
Are they silver plated? It appears so to me. I'll bet they had a lot of freckling which was covered up by the engraving.

M. M. Wright

vancelw, I too have a '52 8N. Worst thing is no live hydraulics. I know how to retro-fit it but then I have 4 more tractors. Just finished, (yesterday) rebuilding the engine in my Case VAC. Went with the 3.250 to 3.438 overbore kit. Hoping for a little more power since it usually wears a 7 foot fini...

M. M. Wright

My nephew was shot in the butt with bird shot in the Colorado thing. Still wearing it. He was doing all he could do by beating a hasty retreat while shielding his wife since he had to be unarmed. I don't want that for more of my family or congregation. We started the armed guard in the foyer while s...

M. M. Wright

Man that's great shootin'. Ain't nothing more fun than a good 3 day match. I used to always shoot Land Run at OK City and the Show Me Shootout in Branson MO. Like you said, great fun with great people.
Gotta get me a pair of converted armies.

M. M. Wright

Like jerryB said, if you don't have one, somebody will loan you one. I and several others have been asked to come armed and one of us always sits in the foyer to monitor who comes and goes. Our little church is about as far out in the sticks as you can get. We get a lot of visitors from Israel, Sout...

M. M. Wright

Polishing the top of the hammer, the bottom of the bolt where it contacts the hammer and mostly just lessening the tension on the hammer spring will greatly improve this problem. A good man on 97s can make it feel like hot butter. Our own NKJ can probably do it for you.

M. M. Wright

Almost never see the Speer brand around here, (NE OK). At one time I shot a lot of them but now mostly I use Sierra.

M. M. Wright

I really like those open tops. Get those smooth grips checkered or find a set to buy. I think that grip frame is the same as a SAA.
