    On pulling the plug...

    Some companies perform classified work.

     

    In so doing, once an employee is going to leave the company, the company gets them out the door quickly.

     

    Your dismissal should warrant your unemployment benefits so take advantage of them, plain and simple.

     

    Congratulations on your retirement. I think you will enjoy it just as well on Feb 3 as you would on April 17.

    .22 NOSLER?

    Posted · Edited by Widowmaker Hill SASS #59054

    Years back, when I was much younger and starting to get into Varmint hunting here in E.TN (varmints are groundhogs and crows), I bought a 22-250.

     

    I was learning A Lot from an experienced shooter about reloading, etc.

     

    I was telling him about such and such powders that would give me 3600-3800 fps velocities from my 22-250.

     

    He was explaining to me a more important aspect of good shooting wasn't velocities as much as it is ACCURACY.

     

    Then he says..... "Mike, that groundhog out at 200 yards don't really care if that bullet is traveling 3000 fps or 3800 fps when he gets hit...it will still be the same".

     

    That stuck with me. Velocity is nice, but that projectile still has to be able to HIT the target before that velocity can be appreciated.

     

    What will this NEW cartridge have that is gonna make it any better than whats already available on the market?

     

    Just curious.

    My apologies to the OP if this gets too far off the topic, but I wanted to add one more thing about the Marlin 1894.

     

    These are good rifles... period. Strong and reliable.

     

    From the factory, some of them need some special attention to help them function better. BUT, a good many of them will function much better with just some minor smoothing and spring changes.

     

    EXAMPLE: if your lever is hard to open and close, this can be remedied by polishing the plunger hole in the lever with about 1500-2000 grit paper. And then polish up the plunger to slide easy in and out of that hole. Then add a LongHunter or Slick McClade lever plunger spring and your lever will feel much better. Personally, I use a spring designed for medical equipment usage. Sometimes, even a good, proper cut ink pen spring works better than the factory.

    Change out the hammer spring (LongHunter or Slick) and trim the mag tube spring to be about 3-4 inches longer than the mag tube. Plus, LongHunter and Slick both have excellent Stainless springs to replace your factory magtube.

    Polish the inside of your mag tube to help keep rust out also.

     

    'Tweak' your Extractor and Ejector springs, as shown on Marauders website, and these will help.

     

    Just these few little things help a lot.

     

    Most Marlins don't need to be highly modified in order to run well. In my opinion, they do need some special mods in order to run real fast, smooth and RELIABLE.

     

    Hope this info helps somewhat, especially if the OP might be considering an 1894 Marlin.

    Howdy Rooster.

     

    The details of modifying the 1894 into the 'Widdermatic' is covered on Marauders website, along with some other GREAT stuff for many types of rifles and pistols.

     

    There are quite a few Cowboys who have modified their Marlins to be like this.

     

    Cheyenne Culpepper has modified one of his Marlins for the .38 and one of our Wire Pards, Warden Callaway, has modified one of his Marlins into the C45S cartridge.

     

    Billy The Avenger also modified his .38 Marlin and it is super slick. I think his wife,TACO, uses it but not sure. With Billy, you never know what he's gonna pull out of the gun case..... ;)

     

    Have a great day.

     

    P.S. - sent you a PM

    what if i won the big one

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    I would probably give St.Judes some of it.

     

    And I would give the Shriners hospital some.

     

    And some would go to the local Childrens hospital.

     

    No doubt I would try to help relatives with unexpected medical bills and NEEDS.

    But I doubt I would start buying trucks and homes for everyone.

     

    I would move out to a more secluded place with some good land, to shoot on of course.

     

    Quite frankly, I'm happy with what I have. No doubt I would buy a couple new 'toys', but I think one of my priorities would be to hire a maid to help my wife with house chores, etc.

     

    And of course, I would have to donate a few bucks to the Geisha society. Ashia and Kadisha are members..... ;)

    Load info for 10mm

    Posted

    Do any of you have a 'pet' load you prefer in your 10mm.

     

    I plan to get a SIG P220 in 10mm. There is plenty data in the manuals but I'm wondering if any Wire Pards might have a good PET load to share.

     

    If my PM box is full, feel free to email me at:

    Much thanks,

    Good Post, J Bar.

     

    I was wondering why the OP had ruled out a Marlin.

     

    Its not like they can't run 10 shots in under 2 seconds, with proper mods and tuning.

     

    And its not like the Marlin can't run thousands of rounds and still be tough as an anvil.

     

    I like the 73's and 92's. But if a person is looking for a rifle, ya owe it to yeself to also check out a couple Marlins.

    So I guess Clemson isn't #2 any longer?

    If I remember correctly:

     

    2 years ago, Ohio State lost a home game and finished the season with a Natl Championship

     

    Last year, Alabama lost a home game and finished the season with a Natl Championship.

     

    This year, Clemson lost a home game and finished the season with a Natl Championship.

     

     

    Vegas will probably post odds on this happening, or not happening, again.

    What A Game!

    Congrats to Clemson and all their fans, supporters, etc...

     

    Bama played a good game but they seem kinda 'lack luster'.

     

    I'm not any kinda football wizard, but I felt like their offence was missing Kiffin (and I'm not a Kiffin fan).

    Laser 'stippling' needed

    in SASS Wire

    Posted

    Thanks EVERYONE.

     

    I checked out the website info and although it appears that their specialty is 'engraving and checkering', I will probably contact them about 'stippling'.

     

    Thanks again.
