    WTS custom deer rifle and accessories $500

    I've owned and used a M70 .264 since 1965. The case is a product of the 300 H&H, as is the 7mm mag. and the .257 Weatherby mag. I guess I'm probably a bit confused about the fire forming process since I've never done it. I always understood that to mean actually firing the round in a chamber to form a new case. So my confusion comes about understanding how .264 brass can be loaded in a chamber with a neck size of .25 cal. The only thing I can figure is the cases are actually being reformed in a sizing die first maybe. P.S. I saw the bag of brass but thought it didn't look very new..

    Book a day at Xmas Tree thru the tribe. Lots of fish and some big hold-over spawners that have been stocked in it over the years. Those photos of the Apache trout I posted a while back were all taken there. It might have changed, but camping overnight there was permitted as long as you have the daily pass for the days you're there. You should have a float tube or canoe-type craft.

    They look similar to the Tarahumara ones I bought at Barranca de Cobre in Mexico.

    SOLD -Vintage Circe Predator Call

    Found many of those types, with some for sale on eBay. Another thing I'm finding is how the label is attached. Most are in the spiral like yours, but mine is vertical along the barrel. The JB got to sell no fewer than 8 of my rifles in the late 60s. The only one I kept was my M70 264, which I still own 50 years later., albeit somewhat rejuvenated.

    One other thing: I think mine is plastic, but it's hard to tell, and I don't want to scratch into it to find out.

    A bit more. Note the date in bold red. Reznik, Morris Morris Reznik, 89, long-time resident of Phoenix, AZ and retired owner of the Jewel Box Pawnshop, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 21, 2010. "Morrey" as he was known, came to Phoenix in 1948 from Detroit, Michigan after serving in the Army during World War II. Shortly after, he met his Honeylou and they were married for 61 years. The Jewel Box opened in May 1949 at 41 South First Ave. It grew with the city, later making way for Patriot's Park. In 1976, the business moved to 601 North Central where it remained until the doors closed in May 2006. The Jewel Box was well known in the valley where Morrey made many wonderful friends over the years, and became known as the "Pawnfather." His sense of humor and wit will long be remembered. Morrey is survived by his devoted wife, Honeylou, his son Steve and wife Sharon Marie, daughters Randi (Dean Corely) Adrian and Sharon Lee, five grandchildren Jessica, Sarah, Benjamin, Jonathan and Nicholas, as well as many wonderful nieces and nephews. In the past year he had been living at the Agape Home of Scottsdale with their loving, quality care. Heartfelt thanks to Daniela Geonkova, her son Ivaylo, and the wonderful staff at her home. Appreciation and gratitude also to caregivers Emily Wielemborek and Jennifer Wanderer for their dedicated care. Morrey was preceded in death by his parents Abe and Tillie Reznik, siblings Anne, Jack, Isadore, and Eileen. Services will be held at 2:30 pm on Wednesday, March 24th at Sinai Mortuary, 4538 N. 16th St. in Phoenix. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Association 1028 E. McDowell Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85006 or the JCC Endowment Fund, 12701 N. Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85254. Arrangements by Sinai Mortuary.

    It was an electric circular saw. Here you go. Oct. 1986 Man kills himself with power saw in pawnshop PHOENIX -- A man asked a clerk in a pawnshop to plug in a power saw so he could check it out, then turned on the saw, pulled back the safety guard and put the blade to his neck, killing himself, authorities said. The unidentified man took a 10-inch circular power saw and some money up to the counter at the Jewel Box Loan Co. Tuesday afternoon. 'I thought he was going to put it on layaway -- we do that a lot,' said clerk Mike Gibson. 'He asked for a plug to check it out because we sell them 'as is.' 'When I plugged it in, he pulled back the (blade) guard with one hand, fired it up and put it to his neck. I tried to stop him, but no way I could. 'The guy tried to cut his head off. That's all there is to it.' Fire Department paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene. They said the saw blade cut through the left side of the man's neck and into his spinal column. The man was described as 6-feet, 190-pounds, wearing brown corduroy trousers and a white T-shirt. He had a 12-inch surgery scar on his chest. About 20 people were in the pawnshop at the time.

    I don't recall ever hearing the suicide story. BUT...before they can display gas-driven tools, they are supposed to empty the gas tanks. I worked there in 1969, but I never counted all the rifles on display between the floor racks and behind the counters. There were a bunch of them, tho.

    I recently posted a question about it on the Predator Masters Forum, where a lot of knowledgeable callers hang out. Here's a reply I got. "I don’t think I’ve ever saw a black one either. Maybe it was a prototype or first production considering the way you acquired it. Very nice call though. I’d hang on to it, but if you don’t want it, let me know. "

  25. GAME AND FISH NEWS Aug. 20, 2020 AZGFD assists thirsty wildlife during extreme heat, drought Public can help by texting "SENDWATER" to 41444 PHOENIX — Water is the essence of life, and it’s just as precious for Arizona’s wildlife. For that reason, the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) has trucked and airlifted about 250,000 gallons of life-sustaining water to catchments throughout the state since January. Trail cameras document the results of this critical work, with footage of elk, deer, bighorn sheep and other species leaning over for a refreshing drink at one of 3,000 catchments maintained by AZGFD. “Water catchments don’t discriminate; they’re used by all wildlife from big game to some of the smallest squirrels, lizards, birds, bats and even bees,” said Joseph Currie, AZGFD habitat planning program manager, who oversees the department’s water-catchment efforts. “Our crews typically stop hauling water in August after monsoon rains refill much of our water catchments. However, due to this extreme drought, we haven’t stopped. We anticipate having to haul more than 800,000 gallons of water this year.” To help defray the rising costs of providing life-saving water for Arizona’s wildlife, AZGFD relies on its Send Water donation campaign to give the public an opportunity to support these efforts, simply by texting “SENDWATER” to 41444 from any smartphone. All funds that are raised ensure that the department can still deliver water to remote regions of the state and help to mitigate population fluctuations caused by severe lingering droughts. “Historic drought periods, such as this one, were typically followed by massive die-offs of wildlife,” Currie said. “By hauling water, we are able to stabilize those populations, keeping them alive and out of urban areas in search of water.” While AZGFD partners with several wildlife organizations, the department bears much of the cost of hauling water to and maintaining about 1,000 of its own catchments statewide, some of which must be filled with water flown in by helicopter. Additionally, AZGFD maintains 1,000 Bureau of Land Management and 1,000 U.S. Forest Service water catchments.
