Hunter4623: I cleaned $100.00 worth of lead residue, carbon and gunk off of an other wise mint Smith & Wesson Model 686-0 with 8 3/8" barrel I bought yesterday! Took me nearly 3 hours to get this nifty revolver spotless and lightly lubricated. It looks SO good now I just may keep it - and forego the $100.00 in untaxed profit I was planning on making off of it? I must ask - WHY on earth don't folks clean their guns (revolvers, pistols, Rifles and shotguns!) anymore? I am not saying I am better than anyone but for crying out loud when a gun needs cleaning it SHOULD be cleaned! Let alone when someone is trying to sell said un-cleaned gun? Nice morning now I'll start packing for a distant gunshow. To bed early tonight. Happy Thursday everyone. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Caught two mice in my house. Went shooting. Shot a couple of twenty-twos. My Winchester 9422 Trapper and my Uberti Cattleman 5.5" : Twenty-five yard group from the Winchester, two mags full, standing off-hand, no support. After the first mag full, I raised my point of aim a little, which is why it looks like two different groupings.

Fiddled with the dishwasher for awhile trying to get it running. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Darn thing has a mind of its own. Wife has been away visiting g'kids and wouldn't want her to come home to a messy kitchen Snowed today so I might pour myself a spot of bourbon and enjoy a movie. Bought the darn bottle two years ago and haven't cracked it. WT Rare Breed.

Buddy of mine has one. A class shooter at NRA smallbore matches with it. With a scope, it's a tack driver. I used to keep a scope on it, but I like to challenge myself with iron sights, even with fading eyes. it's also handier and more classic looking without the scope.

The Uberti holds 12 rounds. Very nice revolver but, unfortunately, it shoots a bit to the left. I compensate by putting more sunlight on the left side of the front sight than on the right. This seems to do the trick, but slows me down just a little.

Processing the last of my .223 brass and digging out the twice fired stuff yet to be designated as to what I will load in it. Most of my twice fired stuff goes back to my reserve ammo.

Let's see, On Tuesday afternoon, I took off for a 650 mile trip to work cattle on Wednesday. Worked bulls in Nebraska on Wednesday and then loaded up and drove back home. Got home in the middle of the night. Got up, restocked the pick up and packed for the next trip. Put a bale out for the kids' calves and loaded up to drive about 175 miles west to work bulls on Thursday. Got those cattle worked and got on the highway and drove to NW Montana to take the boy skiing tomorrow (Friday).

I rubbed one out. Drank coffee. Went to work. Drank more coffee. Yelled at people. Went to the DMV for vehicle registration. Picked up a single six from a classifieds transaction here on the 'Fire. Got stuff together to check traps in the morning. Rubbed another one out. Crusied the 'Fire, looking for a fight to pick.
That has been my day so far.

Put away all the previously boxed Christmas decorations, made a dump run, got the Suburban serviced for tomorrow’s road trip, went goose hunting for a couple hours, got propane tank filled, and knocked back a couple whiskys before dinner. Happy Trails

So far just had a cup of coffee... but its not yet 4am. I have a few barrels to spin up today and hopefully will get some lead in the air before lunch.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

I just woke up from 9hours of sleep. I feel like a million bucks. Plans for today involve jack squat but hopefully Mexican food with my daughter for supper. Wife doesn't like Mexican generally so its usually just me and her.
