......col., I do everything right-handed except shoot!!!....eye doctor told me years ago my left eye was the "dominant" eye-my oldest son is also like me-shoots left!!.................... ..................

Wronghanded here also Wade. I too am like carrmillus. Rifle only though. So is my son. The muscle memory has just gotten used to shooting a rifle left handed with right hand controls. My AR-10 bolt release is perfect for a lefty as it came stock with right ejection. If I had a left handed bolt probably would have trouble with it. Done it me whole life so I honed some fairly fluid procedures to accomodate. If the gun is spraying brass in your face, whole different ballgame though.

...unk, that one is exactly like mine!!. mine only shoots shorts, is this one the same???.............. ..............[/quote]

Just got this 1962 Remington model 76,Lever Rifle 22LR,from a friend***_______ traded him a $20 pocket knife for it !!!!!! Looks to be a ""neet"" little rifle ---have to clean it up good and go shooting** ( if I can find some ammo ) ---- this was the only lever action,made by Remington and only for a few years ( 1962-1964 ) --- have a great day guys !!!!______________________Monk***

.......is the stock and forearm wood or nylon???.................. .........................

Great guns guys. I love those old Remington semi autos based on the carbine williams floating chamber.

Carrmillus, Jerry, I bought my Lefty how first rifle a while back. It's a savage mark II youth model, left handed. It's an amazing and accurate little rifle.

For shotguns were pretty fixed with the Ithaca model 37's. Being bottom ejecting he shouldn't have a problem with those.

Still an old Remington 241 would be a lot of fun for me, er I mean him. Yeah, him. Shhhh don't tell my wife.

Thank you Jerry.

The Browning SA-22 is still in production....it is pretty much the same gun as the Remington 241. My buddy has one and it is a sweet little rifle.

....the #241 I have has been in the family since I was a kid, wonder if there's a way to date it by the ser. #????..................... ...................

Some new grips on tha' Ruger****___makes for a different look,without buying ""another"

Tommy -- Saw a commercial on TV, night before last, for Henry firearms. Did my soul good to see them advertising like that. I don't remember if I've ever seen a firearms commercial on the tube before.


Monk -- Is it getting warm enough down there to fish? Figured maybe that's where you been lately.

sure is ,JerryD !!!!!_______went last week,got 27 bass (had 5 spots over three pounds**) --- have been ""FORCED"" to work ""OVERTIME"" a lot lately (peak season **) --- going tommorow with a friend,__back to the lake,where tha' 27 were caught ---- this work thing,keeps getting in my way ___ looking forward to retiring about the end of May --- will cut back on my ""play money"" quite a bit,but tha' wife says, I have enough toys,as is !!!!

Ahh, that 'splains it in one ugly word. WORK?! (in my best Maynard G. Krebs imitation). Enough toys? I don't even know what that means but of course, we all know if mama says it, it must be true.

Watch it Monkey Man. If she's insisting you retire, she's hiding a honey-do list around there someplace, the likes of which no man has seen before nor wants to ever see.

....monk, those bass pitcher's are starting to get my mind off of shooting!!!....got to dig out my 75 yr. old pflueger rod and reel!!!!.............. ..........................

I'm trying to sell this one.

Monk.......great fishing pics.....wish you'da posted them in the Outdoorsman Thread, or did I miss them?

Picked up numerous rounds of 22 ammo today! Now I just need a 22....
Does it matter if the ends look corroded....like a battery looks?

Yeah. Verdigris. Clean it off with baking soda and small amount of water.

........rough overalls and spit works, too!!!................. ..........

Yep, overalls will do it! It's a scientifically proven fact that overalls britches legs have chemical properties that will sanitize anything wiped across them.


Well maybe not scientific, but pa always wiped the spey blade of his XX 6375 on his overall britches before "cutting" a calf or horse colt. Never lost one. Give it a wipe when done, close the spey, open the sheepsfoot and cut off another chaw of mammoth cave twist. Never hurt him either. Lol
