    Just got a H&R Huntsman .58 that has a firing pin that is stuck in the forward position and need to see if I can spray it with penetrating oil or something and maybe get it to free up. Its the only rifle I have I've not shot. If anybody has any ideas on how to free it up, let me know.

    rifles?

    No rifles....I'm bad about shotguns.. I've had two 11-87's and two 870 Police Magnums that I kept loaded but never shot. A pity, one of the Police Magnums was a Scattergun Technologies with night sights, ported, etc. The guy I sold it to said it shot great.....glad to make someone happy.

    Yeah I figured it out. It would not be ALASKA……... unless it was the absolutely the toughest it could be and worst possible case scenario!

    Have a Pocket Remington C&B that I built from a kit and have never shot, aside from that though I also have a brass barrel Vest Pocket Derringer that I shot one time and it was so pathetically weak I never shot it again and probably never will. Guess 10 grains of BP was never meant to be that powerful. It will likely just be a display piece from now on since the brass barrel would wear to fast anyway.

    I have never shot a single gun I ever owned. Discharged (or fired) every one though!

    I screwed up, I selected zero but i forgot about the wall hangers .... a Flobert (hope I spelled that right) rimfire rifle and a double barrel muzzle loader my Great, Great, Great Grandfather of Bedford County Pa, who was a gunsmith, had made.

    How about some pictures of the double barrel?
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Interesting looking gun, definite Pennsylvania influence!

    Weatherby Mark V Ultralite 30-06, brand new had to buy, it was a steal.
    Kimber 8400 300 WSM, same reason as above.
    Remington 700 BDL .338 Winchester Magnum, see above.
    Winchester 94 .30-30 ranger, ditto, first .30-30 I ever owned.
    Winchester 70 Featherweight, new one made in NC, again see above, this one I haven't started any handloads for yet, but it is scoped and ready to go.

    So how many do you have unshot?
    Hard to believe this thing is still rolling along after 14 months, got to laugh, I've bought 3 rifles in the last year, shot them all, all lever guns, those and the lever gun up top in the original post have all been shot, sighted and good loads developed for them.
    The scoped bolt guns are still unfired, guess my tastes are changing.
    At 4 currently.
