The 12 mm revolver sounds interesting Charlie. Almost 50 cal with a 1 inch barrel. Could hurt you night vision.

I'd be real reluctant to try any ammo made in this century or the last in this thing

According to the wiki, pinfire cartridges were a French invention in the early 1800's and were superceded with the advent of modern rimfire and centerfire ammo that we know today. Used in the American Civil War according to them.

Well it can live here for a bit.

Todays carry.

Anyone know anything about pin fires? I have this old S X S 2 shooter. Hinged action hammer gun. No markings I can find anywhere on it. Probably European. Approx 10/11 mm caliber. Seems to be all there. Interested in any opinions about value too. Received as a gift, not interested in shooting this if ammo could be found. I have no attachment to this so make an offer if interested.

...steve, that's a real treasure!!!...also looks like it would be good for breaking up a card game!!!!.... ...........

Talk about old school ken, nice carry gear. Classics each.

Maybe its mother thinks its a treasure carmillus. Talk about card game guns, I've always had an itch for one of those Remington over/under derringer's. Haven't held one though let alone fired one.

[carrmillus]

..........my grandfather had one of those, I used to play with it when I was a kid!!!.....wish I knew where it was now, along with all his other guns!!............ .................

Thanx TF The Marlin 60 that those bullets were feed in to JUST came back from my gunsmith

[FRJ]

That's a nice knife and a big problem.

[garddogg56]

thanx Joe and YES it is

[philco]

Keep the knife but send that gun back to the smith asap. That thing is just not right.

So, if I follow current events accurately, now that all States must recognize the marriage licenses of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender couples, as ordered by the Supreme Court and the incarceration of a County Clerk for not doing so, will ALL States now be forced to recognize my Alabama Concealed Carry permit and will they put in jail any Law Enforcement Officer that refuses to do so?

And when this particular argument happens to be won in the Supreme Court, can I emblazon the National Rifle Association's logo in bright red, white and blue lights across the façade of The White House?

Didn't think so.

gd,

I think I'd see about another gunsmith if that's possible where you are.

[carrmillus]

.........get a HENRY!!!!.......... ...............

[Colonel26]

I just bought another good ol JM stamped Marlin model 60 for my oldest boy. He can shoot it like a champ. For an inexpensive .22 them darn things are boringly accurate.

I hope yours gets fixed!

[garddogg56]

Charlie,I don't follow the gay $h!+ Thanx Colonel Carrmillus,my Henry .22mag lever has a loose nearl where the barrel joins the reciever she going back to L.L.Bean and the Marlin 60 is at the gunsmith as we speak full report later

Found a good deal on this Ol' Remington bolt action, Model 788 in 308cal. --- single stack mag is different ( to me**) __best I can find out , this one was mfg. 1974-1977 (most likely 1976 from the serial# *)--never saw these back in tha' day cause we all wanted the 742 Woodsmaster auto !!!! --- going to try and get to the range soon, for a test spin ** ___ picked up a new Ruger American 30-06 in the deal too**___these guns are like knives you can't have ""TOO MANY""________can ya' ????

[garddogg56]

Love them Rems my brother has a lefthanded bolt and my openfield gun is a 7400 with Federal bullets never a jam,in the woods I use a Savage 99 in a .300 Savage.I like your bolt a lot

[steve99f]

A man after my own heart GD. Hard to beat if you like a lever. No flies on the 300Sav either.

Big Monk,
That's a nice looking Remington. Please understand, I'm not being critical, but for me those "see through mounts" would have to go. I know the theory behind them, but they put your head up in the air trying to see through the glass, ruins the "spot weld" that we all learned in the service (just my strong opinion about those type scope mounts ).
The 788 was an embarrassment to Remington when they came out. It seems the lock time on these inexpensive bolt guns was quicker than the lock time of the 700.
Years ago I traded for a new 788 in .243, it has the 18" bbl. Had it laid back in a closet when our son was getting interested in deer hunting. He proceeded to kill a little 4 point with it using the factory iron sights. Easy choice for his Christmas gift that year, a scope for his 788. He killed several deer with it before he went to college. I still have the little gem and I used it one year when I had a "perceived" problem with my old 30-06 700. I wouldn't hesitate to buy or trade for another 788 if one happened to show up . After killing several deer with the 788 .243, my family bought me a 700 in .243 for Father's Day many moons ago.
I hope you'll really enjoy your "new" 788 and are able to bust ol' Bambi with it!
Here's a picture of our little man back in 1987 with his 788 and his 4 point, he was 9 years old.
