Thanks Scott. Every now and again someone will post an old thread I commented on like this one. And I am amazed at my past ability to make cohesive informative posts. I haven't been shooting in many years, moving to the mid west has destroyed that part of my life. There is an old saying: "If yo...

That's pretty pathetic when your own weapons don't like you.

I have an 1985 vintage 94AE in .45 Colt. In well over 3,ooo rounds ( haven't fired it in nearly 10 years), there was never a failure to extract or eject ANY kind of .45 Colt case Unless I short stroked the lever. I would pull the bolt out, and make positive sure the ejector is straight in it's slots...

Ysabel,

You have my sincerest condolences. I know how you feel, having lost all my close family. One moment at a time, one day at a time.
Take care.

I've bought lots of old cast bullets that have various amounts of lube in them. I just run them though my RCBS sizer, fill them with lube and load 'em up. I like lots of lube on my bullets.

Hi I'm new to this forum. This discussion caught my attention as I am trying to find loads for the same bullet. I know it is a very old thread but it also has a lot of good info and is just what I need. I was hoping some could tell me if the RCBS 45-270 SAA will cycle in a Marlin 1894 cowboy or a R...

J Miller

I have Marlin 1894 Cowboy, 2005 vintage, that feeds full length ammo loaded with Keith style bullets without issue. No modifications have been done to it. At one time I had a crappy Rossie that had to be worked over to feed anything. But when worked on it would feed full length Keith bullet ammo and...

To my eyes the lever looks bent. Right about where the loop and trigger guard meet.

Not Perry Mason or a jail house lawyer, nor do I know much about laws, however some years ago on some forum there was a discussion about a strange looking serial number on a rifle ( a 94 Win, I think ). It turned out to be a BATF issued serial number on a rifle where the original number had been rem...

J Miller

That was very interesting. Other than the extreme care used to prevent further damage I didn't really find the design of that rifle overly complicated.

Prayers up Blaine.

I had pneumonia in 2014, it was not easy to get through.
Prayers up.

Prayers up. Not trying to drift the thread, just a reminder that ivermectin + zinc, Vitamin D3, Tonic Water, PQQ vitamins, and elderberry all help. When I had CoVid back last Christmas, I couldn't get my wife to get me any of the necessary stuff, and I lost sense of taste and smell for a couple of ...

Scrummy, It most likely wasn't the priming tool, it was the Federal primers. I use a lot of Federal primers and never had any problems. One day I bought a new bigger square tray tool so I could just flip the square trays of primers without risking spilling them. After a while I read the instructions...

My favorite barrel length is 4 5/8" to 4 3/4" chambered for .45 Colt. Currently my only short barreled SA is my 1973 vintage, Uberti made, Iver Johnson imported Cattleman that Nate Kiowa Jones rebuilt for me. IJSteelgrip.jpg As for sights I really don't care weather they are adjustable or ...

J Miller

Hi there. Been home a bit over a week now. It took three big burly fireman to help me up the 6 stairs into the house. I was that exhausted from no exercise in the rehab place to the trip straight to a clinic to get a new family doctor set up. They rolled me into the clinic on a wheel chair then back...

J Miller

Congratulations on your heroic rescue of Joe. I really mean this Elaine. If you have a phone with a camera, taking videos of that kind of abuse is worth a lot in lawsuits, not to mention the nightly "news" . Joe has the best help he can get right now. Be on the lookout for a compassionate...

J Miller

Prayers continuing. You need to eat right and get your sleep, too. If you get ill, it will make things worse. Piller. I found out since getting Joe home that he was starving himself. He was hardly eating. Had really no appetite, along with the food that was being served to him was difficult for him...

J Miller

Update : The stuff hit the fan yesterday. About 8 AM Joe called and literally ordered me to come get him. I pulled myself together and got out to the rehab asap. Don't even remember what happened or why but in a nutshell they were almost to the point of abuse through major neglect. We stopped at a c...

J Miller

Hi Elaine. I hate reading about these things because I am not in a position to help much right now. I will pray for you and Joe, he has been a member here who I have respected for a very, very long time. I wish I could do more. Maybe you could create a GoFund me page? I could throw in a little some...

You are so very right and it is rather hard to do at times with all the ongoing stress.
Thanks a bunch for all the help
To everyone
Elaine

Update: Have not had time nor really the presence of mind to post all that has happened. Took the truck BACK to the original garage that worked on it in Oct of last year.. Seems that the sensor that they had replaced went bad or was bad from the start and was under warranty....Thus all the repairs o...

J Miller

Elaine I am glad to hear you have a good neighbor, I hope your vehicle stays reliable. Tell Joe his friends here are praying for a full recovery and miss him and his posts. Thank you , I will do that as soon as I can talk to him. the phone availability where he is at is extremely limited. Elaine

J Miller

Well maybe I have some good news. At least I hope it remains good news. Good neighbor picked up new starter and worked on it for almost 3 hours. Got it all back together and truck still wanted to malfunction. So I hit something in the car door. Come to find out there is a short in the main power win...

J Miller

Grizz, I have been searching for the "church" groups here and there used to be one..Unfortunately they seem to have gone underground. As for the exercise, yes I have been thinking about that today also.. Just right now no way to even get over to see or talk to him, and he is extremely limi...

J Miller

Grizz, Thank you for the encouragement. The sad thing is that the hospital and all the doctors there totally ignored that need. All the did was focus on other trivial stuff and with all the stress his body went wonkers while there. Update: The hospital transferred Joe to a rehab nursing home Friday ...

Update: Physical therapists have been trying to help Joe get back on his feet, only to discover that whatever happened that Friday when he went to stand up destroyed whatever was left of his left knee.

We need help. Both physical and knowledge. The hospital doctors and the social workers are pushing the rehab facility down our throats so to speak. They are paranoid that I can't take care of Joe when he gets home. They think that I and he won't be able to move around to get in and out of the truck ...

Prayers and condolences .
So sorry to hear this.

Elaine

J Miller

Well I found the cat hiding in some thick weeds at the back of our neighbors house. She was not really happy. Lord knows where she was over night LOL. Neighbor is working on truck now and it might be a bit more involved than he can do,so it may have togo to a shop. Personally I don't care. I just wa...

J Miller

Elaine , I hope the Neighbor is getting the parts thru " Rock Auto" or a similar place. the difference in price has left Me astounded several times. hope the car gets sorted out. We are all praying for Your situation. Don't know for sure where but the cost was under $30 so with tax it wil...

J Miller

Well my research and "fix" was only temporary, but with help we did find the "real or the rest" (?)of the problem. We have a neighbor that works for a used car lot. Not sure what he does but he does minimal work on vehicles at his house. He came over and the "Truck" act...

J Miller

Sorry I’m late to the prayer meeting. Prayers up for you and Joe. On the truck, I would check the ground connection from the battery to the engine. When it’s acting up you could try connecting the black jumper cable to the battery and an unpainted piece of metal on the engine. I went on a google se...

J Miller

Elaine I'd try to clean connections at the battery and starter, sounds like a dirty connection. If that doesn't fix it, I might take the starter to AutoZone and have em, test it for free. These are often easy fixes, maybe you have a pal at work or church with some tools. You might get an unpleasant...

J Miller

Elaine what are the symptoms of the truck? Could be some of the smart fellows here might help. Not sure how to describe it but here goes Usually when it is cool or coolish it will start right up, no problem. It when it gets hot or a short trip somewhere that heats things, it balks at starting. Lite...

J Miller

We talked later this after noon in an almost emergency session. His BP plummeted and shook him up a bit. Dr's are now thinking possible ulcer. Along with the intermittent Afib. He said they did finally find the knot in his urethral area and got a complete cat scan of that. Now going to move him to I...

J Miller

Update for this morning: Joe just called with short update..... He finally got a bowel movement going and with the results the nurses are thinking possible internal bleeding. Lovely!! then they tried to get to stand up as the swelling is finally coming down in his feet with physical therapy.... Dizz...

J Miller

Update #2:: He is stuck there for a couple more days. Dr's this morning were talking about giving him Gabopentin (SP) His feet were and are to an extent horribly swollen. They want that down. Along with that, physical therapy and if it takes much more than 2-4 more days there at the hospital, they a...

J Miller

UPDATE:: Hospital was all set to release Joe tonight..... He tried to stand up and his feet basically gave out on him. For some reason since Friday afternoon he has been in extreme pain and weakness from his knees down, all the way to his feet. The one good thing is that the Dr's did find that most ...

J Miller

Yesterday I (Elaine) went to pick up some of Joe's scripts and a few groceries. Got home and he was " a bit out of it" Somehow he had twisted his left knee and could not stand up from a sitting position. Well this ended up in an ER trip and he is now in the hospital getting all kinds of te...

The finish is original as is all of the other features on it. A very nice carbine.
Although I don't think the price is great, I'd go the 9 C notes for that one before I'd buy a new japchester.

Keeping the two of you in my thoughts. Hoping for the best.

Just got a letter today from my brother's pastor. My brother, Bill Curtis ( originally named David Miller - long story ) died the 7th of this month. Seems he was in the ICU for two weeks due to a systemic septic infection that would not respond to any anti-biotic. (Not covid, I asked.) At this point...

Some years ago I dug out my ancient original 30-30 Lee loader and for the heck of it I loaded a box.
It didn't take me but about one round to remember why I quit using them. I decided that if I ever use them again I'd pick up an arbor press and use that instead of a hammer.
