    idiot ordered the wrong one and didnt want to call/write for an exchange from wherever he got it, my gain cause i picked it up for $175 and dropped it in in about 5 min!!
    looks and functions great, cant wait for a chance at range time to check accuracy!

    After Three (3) years, yes three! Last week I bought a 1895 Cowboy 45-70[:D].
    Already went to the range.
    Turns big things into MANY little things; pumpkins, watermelons, gallon water jugs... [:p]
    Amazing what a 360gr bullet does to objects.
    Love the new toy, wife is even a little impressed, so are her two (2) boys. Been taking them to the range with me. Teaching the oldest about reloading[:)] trying to keep the art of reloading going. He might even be as good as me in ten or twenty years (bragging just a little).
    Hope everyones week was a good as mine!

    stopped by the pawnshop on the way home yesterday and found a remington 890 express youth 20 ga mag, wood stock in very nice shape. i couldnt turn it down. with tax and all it was $160. it has the 20 inch barrel, and the youth stock, but it still fits me nicely (6', 200lb). im thinking of keeping it behind the seat in my ranger as a truck gun.

    New toy. Wby vanguarg in 300 Wby mag, 80 rounds through it. I put the scope on. I bet this thing would kick like a mule without this recoil absorbing stock. only problem is, even though there is little felt recoil, this thing whips like a sum *****!!!! Will have to learn this thing.

    Picked up my new toy this morning, 1998 For Ranger 5.0. Nasty, fun little truck to run around in. Has a 1999 5.0, mustang rearend with 3.73's. C4 with manual valve body, and some other goop I am forgetting. Went cruising through town, love the looks when people realize what is making the rumbly noise.

    Just picked up my latest purchase. I had one of the original Millennium PT140s. Loved the size...but it shot low to the point of aim and the trigger wasn't all that great. This is a Pro model. The grip is a little smaller but other than that, I think I will like it. The seller was a competitive shooter and was actually nice enough to shot and email me a target when I expressed concern over the point of aim. Of course the day I pick it up I get the Ruger newsletter unveiling their SR40[^]

    Just realized I didn't put the link in...duh!

    Was looking for a blued Marlin 1895 in 45-70 with a 22" barrel but this came across my lap and I couldn't refuse. 1895 Stainless Guide Gun 45-70 unfired in box. Buddy's friend won it in a $25 raffle and had no use for it and needed some cash. I gladly relieved him of it for $450. He thought it was great that he profited $425 and I thought it was great I got it for way below MSRP. Wasn't exactly what I wanted, but couldn't pass up the steal, I mean deal.

    Well I just picked up another good one at my favorite local gun shop. Anyone know what these are selling for now days?

    DSC06017.jpg

    I found a Thompson 1927a3 that was made in 1980 based on serial number. This thing was very dirty so I was worried about it running. Dealer ran a mag thought it out in the bullet trap. I took it home and fired a mag and could not figure out why I could not hit anything.

    I took it home and started cleaning it up since it was so dirty. I have not noticed that the
    Cutts was plugged up. Well 2 of the slots were completely plugged and had a cone shape in the direction of bullet travel. I pulled the compensator which was so plugged that I am shocked the bullets were actually making it through. With a chisel and hammer I went to town on the lead build up. Of the lead I could recover I got 275 grs, I am guessing there was closer to 300 grs total.

    The only real problem with this gun is the finish on the bbl is wearing off. It is not scratched, or flaking but is just discolored for some reason. This gun is very light and I am guessing most of it is made of aluminum. Is there any good way to fix this. I am not sure if I want to refinish this gun since only about 4500 were ever made.

    Since we are showing pictures of our bikes I thought I would share one of my new toy. I found it on Craigslist. I was very underpriced. I've been "between bikes" for too long. Kept thinking my next one would be a Harley, but what the heck. I'll ride this cheap one until I finally get that Harley.

    Wife bought me a Gibbs enfield .308 today.
    It was a present for not attacking a nut case in the V.A.
    I never try to PUSH my beliefs off on to anybody unless they ask, and are serious.
    Just hate it when they just walk up and start yelling "God is comming!" "you need to get right with God" " You need to be saved!"
    I mean right in your face. Didn't jesus say something about the man praying quitly and alone in the temple? Some of these people need to read their own bible and not only pick out the part they like.

    Excellent choice of a gun wtroper. Whoever gets this in the future will not be disappointed. My dad gave me one in .308 as my first rifle(10 years ago) and it is still my favorite rifle to take out in the woods. Light, easy handling, and nice looking sums it up. Oh yeah, did I mention that them pencil thin barrels don't hinder the accuracy at all[;)]
