No that makes you a hoarder...oh and to blame for everyone not bein able to find what they need. (Yes this should be read dripping with sarcasm)

Keep an eye on snipershide.

Simple suggestion. Paragraphs. You lost them as you kept going. Maybe bold what each section is. That way folks can find what's important to them/what they need suggestions on. I'd say leave oil on for storing guns to prevent rust. Also parts that need lubrication should have oil or I prefer grease like gun butter. As far as brushes nylon or brass? I'm a nylon guy for rifles and brass for pistols. For fun let us open the can of worms about how often to clean a rifle Oh and bore condition or not? Should I shoot tubbs or no? Run some abrasive paste? Seriously there is no wrong way to clean. My dad has a 30-06 that is over 30 years old. He pulled his patches and brushes back up from the muzzle and hasn't damaged the crown. He never used a bore guide and used a three piece metal rod to clean his gun. The gun still shoots solid groups hard to tell if it's as good as it was, since the shooter is now 70. Still shoots about an inch at 100 though. I know he put 3 in a quarter regularly to show off when I was a kid. That said I unscrew my brush at the muzzle end and only go down the barrel. I use a Tipton one piece rod. I own multiple bore guides. I use that KG system because it doesn't smell awful and I can clean anywhere. I also use CLP.

I don't understand why so many folks need to come here to "vent" "rant" or "experiment" about their own inability to follow directions. You made a mistake. Learn from it and move on.

I see the awesomeness of a deer vs semi. Doesn't mean I want to kill deer with a semi. Lighten up guys, other than the story about leaving all but the back straps and head of an elk that sucks.

Last I heard all the left over tags were gone this year. Guess most folks feel warm and fuzzy about south o' the 10. In the end ones nuts don't have to clank all that hard to be willing to hunt south. Just have to know the risks like most anything else in life. We all have our things in which risk outweighs the reward. Aids didn't make the world celibate...

My wife didn't like shooting her lcp. Said it beat up her hand. She didn't have the racking issues naturegirl described. My wife took over my Sig P232 after the first magazine. Accurate little gun with a fixed barrel. Also it's Da/sa not sa like the 238. Not that it matters but small concealed with that little thumb safety for some is a fail. My wife had two gun toating momma purses. Then a friend from work gave her a coach purse so needless to say she uses that for carry now.

.270 Ruger American Rifle for sale
MRL1984 replied to tjkazhunter's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
May work better in the classifieds section. -
i agree with this. it turns "me time" into "we time". it's good to get the girls out there, but i made this mistake once. you spend more time chasing arrows and trying to figure out why they can't shoot consistent groups than you spend trying to hone your own skills. maybe I'm selfish, but just my $.02 Yeah you may be right but...you may be wrong. Just as likely to end bad not including her. Depends on both of them, I enjoy having my wife along to shoot more then going alone. I would much rather her be along and enjoy the activities I do.

I would suggest going to Archery talk forums as they tend to have a lot of used bows for juniors and/or women. There are some good deals to be had if you just keep an eye out.

Casey I think you summed up my feelings as well.

Need opinions on a new sidearm
MRL1984 replied to naturegirl's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
The thing to remember about any gun you intend to carry and shoot is practice. I carry a Glock and don't have any concerns with contact shots, class 2 or 3 malfunctions. Mainly as I got lots of practice clearing them in Gen 3. As much as I hated Glock the Gen 4 works for me. I agree that less practice makes the revolver a better choice. You're apparently not recoil sensitive so the possibilities are pretty endless. -
Midway has 8 rounders as does topgun supply. Sig sure is proud of their mags. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/833547/sig-sauer-magazine-sig-sauer-p239-9mm-luger-8-round-steel-matte?cm_vc=subv1833547 http://www.topgunsupply.com/sig-sauer-p239-9mm-8rd-magazine.html

Keep an eye on other forums. Saw some on snipershide this morning but it was already sold. It was 100 pcs of factory win brass for $80. Lots of sources just a matter of having the free time to keep an eye out.

Best electronic scale for reloading?
MRL1984 replied to loco4coues's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I use the RCBS electronic scale. Works good for me. -
Norma from what I have read is second only to Lapua. Nosler depends on who you ask.

Spikes Stipped Lower(SPF) 300 Encore barrel, colt 1911
MRL1984 replied to MRL1984's topic in Classified Ads
Not color filled. It's easier to fill after the fact. I did my last lower with model paint. -
Please send questions comments and concerns via PM. SPF I have a spikes tactical stripped lower with calico jack logo rather than the spider. Hasn't been built on. Looking for $100, as I paid $107 after tax. All firearms purchase rules apply. Gone thanks JLG! Going to send the 300 Win Mag Encore barrel around again. Looking for $200.00 can make a deal for the Vortex Viper scope that currently sits on it if buyer is inclined. Probably another $300 for scope. Stainless with break. Also have a magpul MOE AR Grip would sell for $20 can ship for $5 extra. I am also going to add my Colt 1911 rail gun. Stainless 100 year commemorate model. It was used as a duty piece for prior owner so shows some carry wear. I would do $950.00 Will be in valley Friday afternoon. Not sure what's going on with the phone picture combo so I will add them when I can.

Anyone still waiting for their tags?
MRL1984 replied to rossislider's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
We have received tags from the original draw, as well as left over tags at my house. The left overs came about a week ago, the first draw about two weeks ago. -

http://www.predatormastersforums.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2709316#Post2709316 300 WSM in Mesa. Not sure if the link will work, but it's on classifieds on Predator Masters. I'm know he will cut a deal for local pick up as I asked. If you're interested I have his number as well. -
Closing the old recycled thread, too many specific questions.
MRL1984 posted a topic in Classified Ads
Pistol and rifle are both gone, closing out this old thread. Will make a new one once I decide what to keep and sell. -
**Question for the camo wearing ladies on coues whitetail
MRL1984 replied to hoghntr's topic in Classified Ads
The guys I work with are wearing them and they have quite a following going. I am a Danner guy, but I have had the same pair for 7 years with one resole this year. As for women's camo yeah not fun. I am a fan of the sparkling stuff on camo that will really help conceal my wife from watchful eyes...
