About a week or so ago, after reading this thread, I figured I would recertify early just to get it out of the way, despite all the Hochul horseshit. My recert date is in this coming November, so I'd be a few months early. I visited the NYSP website, pulled up my info, and none of it reflected...

Who is Hank Bowman?

Yes, it was the real deal built in Ilion. One time I bought several rifles from a woman my wife knew. Her father was in a nursing home and she wanted to get rid of the rifles; the #5 rolling block was one of them. The breach and hammer were locked up and I had to run the cleaning rod down it...

I never fired it. If you read up on it, the 7mm Mauser was a pretty new cartridge at the time...hardly standardized. It's a handloading thing that can be done, but factory stuff is dicey...case length, headspacing, iffy chambers. The action is considered to be robust though.

Once upon a time I had one in 7mm Mauser. I explored turning it into a 45-70...Numrich at one time sold barrels for this. But now it would be stupid money and I sold it. It can be done though if you want to hunt buffalo.

629 here. And a Ruger 77/44...and REALLY thinking about a lever to add to the mix. And REALLY REALLY thinking about a S&W 29.

We're all on the lists... Wecome to the forum.

The doctor is in.... Welcome to the forum.

"How sweet it is"! John "Jackie" Herbert Gleason

I purchased a BAR MK3 a few years ago. Japanese made, Turkish walnut I believe, excellent bluing, very light, expensive mags that do not hold ten rounds. Super nice, and there are bits made of plastic or synthetic...whatever it is. Certainly not "tactical", but that's not my thing. Choices...

Gramaglia is the Buffalo Chief of police???

The shooter was from Conklin, hardly a liberal bastion.

There are things in this world that simply defy understanding. This story has hit close to home for me.

One indicator of lead ingestion is known to be weight gain....

Just to clarify. NYC watersheds; West of Hudson, and east of Hudson

Maybe NYC should treat it's water. The EPA has let the city skate on that forever. You would think that the watershed was its own private country.

303 British 444 Marlin 45-70......

Welcome. I'm partial to Utica...UC on tap at Gerber's....kielbasa from the Polish market....what's not to like?

Fifth Amendment, right to remain silent.

Mango wheat? That ain't right....

Way cool!

Welcome. Frequently shop in Utica. Beers at Gerber's.

No mention of old Mossbergs...sacrilege.

Hello, and welcome. Love wine tours...

As I understand it, Remington is defunct. It was the insurers that settled. Bad decision. Had it gone to court, it is reasonable to expect that the plaintiffs would have lost.

Now that's different.

Amen brother!

Sucks getting old. Heavy recoil would probably put me in the hospital. Motorcycle has to go this spring as well.

Likewise. Now I just sit out back with a bolt 44 mag and would never even think about my slug gun or 308.

It's kind of a thing, I've always had something that I bough for one reason or another and just never used it. I've got a brand new BAR Mk3 on the wall that always wanted for deer hunting up north. My deer hunting days are pretty much over, the rifle has never been fired, or even outside of...

Psychosis

That was a nice rifle...caught my interest...last thing I need is another 22...yeah, sure...

Cigars....

Wow!

Should promise to be a regular Mensa meeting....

Those rifles were spoken of as very accurate, but the mags were a bit sketchy...and hard to find. The way things are today, I can't imagine you would have any trouble selling it for a bit more than you paid.

Nice. Rotary magazine?

Pictures?

Greetings

Perish the thought!

Elmers makes a wood filler that, in MHO, sands very well and takes stain good to boot. You could try the saw dust and epoxy, but the epoxy won't take color. Correction, "won't take stain" ....there are dyes/colorants that can be added to epoxy to color it. I put new handles on a chefs knife...

"evidence based solutions to reduce gun violence" Code for permit to purchase laws, firearm safe storage laws, and red flag laws.

Come on...bunch of pussycats here. Welcome to the forum.

I once saw a vid of a guy drinking styrene, the stuff peanuts are made from. Oh wait, maybe that was PCBs? Still NY....

I'll stir the pot. Sold my 10/22 and purchased a Remington 597...years ago. It was finicky, magazine issues early on, although I never had a problem I have purchased the upgrade mags. But it is dialed in and will shoot 50yd cloverleafs all day. I've also got an old Mossy semi that I've...

If DEC is behind it, more laws will be coming. And you will not be happy.

Welcome from Schoharie.

My last experience back in August was $50. Plain robbery by a guy I've known and done business with for over twenty years. No more. My barber has gone the same route, haircut is now $25, and he doesn't even work fulltime any more. I don't begrudge anybody who is in business to charge...

As mentioned above, ensure that your agreement with the storage facility allows firearms. My wife's elderly aunt got into a shit storm in Massachusetts when it was discovered she had an antique rifle stored at a one. State police got called, took a whole day for them to figure out she violated...
