Browning Dura touch (sticky stock replacement)
Crazymonkey replied to jdown's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Sent my cenergy shotgun in for stock replacement and it was 8 months . They don't do the wood looking stocks anymore . Atleast for the shotgun so it was done in carbon fiber look . They did go thru the gun and fix and replace springs and such but it was a long time for repair. -
Nice job. Way to keep after it and not force the shot but to take what you're given and make it fun.

Reloading in the field
Crazymonkey replied to az41mag's topic in Muzzleloader hunting for Coues Deer
Speed loaders are the way to go if you're walking . Extra muzzleloader for sitting a blind . -
Seems they really stretched out the last draw . It did stress out alot of people thinking they hadn't been drawn only to find out a day or two later they got hit.

Congratulations

Called g&f and he came out and said the same thing . Two birds were skinned out one more was skinned by someone different as they used a different method and the last bird had been shot in the leg and head and left on the bank.

Third time is the charm for me . This is the third time I've been in 6a for turkey . Dropped the wife and daughter up at elk camp Saturday and headed back to work Sunday . I was back to hunt Sunday afternoon and was on 5 or 6 birds before the thunder and rain shut everything down. Got a late start Monday morning about 730 and headed towards where I called a bird and the bear the last time. I made it about half way there and caught movement . I thought squirrel and rolled forward another foot or two and turkeys ran out in front of me . Out of the sxs and boom hit a bird . Had to chase after them a hit the bird again. Just a small Jake but I'm happy after 2 other unsuccessful trips. I'll have to post a picture later when my signal is better. For the guys from Tucson my wife was talking with at happy jack lodge when getting ice . I'm sorry but we don't give her real names for where we hunt . Wickenburg camp was named for the poor guys from Wickenburg that were ill prepared to hunt all those years ago . Elk camp is just that it's elk camp where we go when we're drawn for elk ,deer,or turkey. We tend to re- name the waterholes as they earn there names .

I have a love hate with turkeys in general. 3 trips and 3 shots at birds with no luck . Hopefully this is my year! Nice bird and congratulations!

Man I can't say enough about Eric and the guys at Axis works !! Awesome work on the kids giveaway guns . Without a doubt the best place to get a muzzle break installed. Thanks again for donating the break work for the kids guns. -
Gear recommendations for Coues deer muzzleloader hunting in New Mexico?
Crazymonkey replied to geniejeniffer's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Yep no scopes on muzzleloaders . So iron sights or best option is a peep sight . Blackhorn 209 is expensive but it's the best powder option . It's non corrosive unlike most pellets. Muzzle- loaders.com has a good selection and fair price on guns . -
Someone sure got the deal of a lifetime on that python!!

Eric from Axis Works just called and said the guns are ready for pickup. I'll have pictures up when I go get them. Thanks again Eric and the Axis Works team for your generosity and amazing work!! -
Russ is a good guy and does use or find a person that could use the things he picks up on here.

The scope still would hold zero but I had already put the nikon on with all new rings and bases . I think it went on the cva muzzleloader I sold on here a older optima I sold for what I paid for it so it was probably $80 bucks or so.

Some history on the gun . I bought it from my boss at the time who gave up on hunting . He only got 1 deer tag and took his son with . Trying to cross a creek he dropped the gun hard and dented the bell on the scope. It split the stock from the tang thru the butt and cracked the rings and bases. I took it to Dale Medders and had the stock fixed ,bedded and recoil pad done . Then it went to Wright armory for the break they screwed up and put the front sight back on . The two filled holes. It's been on one juniors deer hunt my buddies granddaughter took a doe with it . And my other buddies wife's first elk hunt she took a cow and her daughter- in law used it also for cow elk and took a cow.The ranger line was the cheap line of the 70s and was built on the same action just not quite as refined . It has a plane Jane soft wood stock and was meant to be compared to the basic rem 700.
