There is quite a bit of data for Herco and Unique in the older manuals on the 16 gauge. But the loads mostly are for 7, 8, 8 1/2 shot sizes. I never loaded BB or #2 shot in anything so I cannot...

I hope you have a great trip to Florida. Sounds like you have a good handle on your agenda. I am with you, this ol country boy is not going to wrestle a Python. If I can't shoot it I will leave it...

I was raised in a neighborhood where there were quite a few WW II combat veterans who fought both in the Pacific and Europe. They all had actual combat experience. Not one ever criticized the...

Good story and well written. Nothing like the death rattle of the enemy in the afternoon. Puts a glow on the day. james

I don't know why someone would not use a 12 gauge on pigs. At close range, it will hit harder with a good slug than any lever action rifle I know of. james

Audie Murphy carried an Winchester M1 Carbine and I do believe he knew a little bit about fighting the Germans. I read his book and I nowhere found a place where he criticized it. He seemed to like...

Pig hunt, yeah maybe, but iguana absolutely. Going after them with air rifles would be the 'safari hunt' of a lifetime for this ol country boy. But at 82 I doubt it will ever happen. james

Go gett'em Tiger. The only reason I am staying with BB is because I am low on small pistol primers and heavy on BB's. james

I know what you mean Steve. I used to swat them with a 2x2 about 36" long and then a 1x4 but the 1by seemed to push air ahead of it as I was bouncing then sideways without actually hitting them. ...

Steve, I will never catch you as the supple of boring bees seems to have taken a downturn in numbers. I saw one this evening and I got the little BB out and as soon as I stepped onto the porch, he...

Numerich Gun Parts have never let me down. Just bought a slide stop spring for a Colt Woodsman and it was the only place I could find one. james

I am now officially a 2024 ace with 5 kills. I got #5 this evening as he was buzzing around the wooden steps looking for a place to bore a hole. He was about 15 feet away and I tried to get closer,...

Hey, I bet you could win too. That is a bunch of de-priming work. james
I agree, a K frame Smith for $350.00 is a great buy these days. I haven't seen a Model 14 for sale around here for some time now. james

Nice write-up Steve. That ought to silence a few people. I used to shoot wax bullets way back in the early 60's using pretty much the same drill you used. However I never used powder, only a...

There is a guy ( nwilson1024 ) on this site that is making a dandy set of shotgun wad cutters to be used in a hand drill or drill press. They cut and eject the wad at the same time. A video on...

Yeah, I went to the link website and when I saw the price, immediately backed right out. I not rich enough to pay that much for .22 ammo. BB guns are a lot cheaper on BumbleBees. I have a box of...

+1 on Fulton Armory. I have used Fulton Armory in the past to work on my Garands and they did first class work on them. I highly recommend them. james
