I don't know about the Ruger, but it is generally unsafe to fire 5.56 stuff out of a .223 chambered rifle. From Winchester: LINK Mike

OK, in your first post you mentioned .223. The Ruger Ranch is notoriously inaccurate. If I were in the market, I'd go with an AR-15. Actually, I am in the market and ordered a couple of them last November to keep my other two company. I'm still waiting for delivery. So are half the other folks...

Friend Bearridge, you ever seen a man shot with bird shot from a full choke barrel 12 gauge at 10 feet? Trust me on this, it ain't pretty and it's not something I want to see again. Bird shot should not be the primary load in a home defense shotgun. The primary load should be 00 Buck or...

Fergit the rifle and get a shotgun. A good Remington 870 12 gauge pump shotgun is great for home protection. Load that bad boy up with 00 buckshot followed up with #4 bird shot just in case you missed with the buckshot and your assailant gets close. Don't go getting a goose barrel, either. It's...

Beautiful!! Mike

Mick, Is that the natural color, or did you stain it? What kind of wood is it? Mike

Beautiful boat, Mick! Mike

Tom, I was wrong about the UMC stamp. It is stamped Remington. It is a model 24, S/N 702xx. The barrel is stamped ".22 Short - Lesmoke or Smokeless, Greased". I don't think they made one that would feed both shorts and long rifles. Description: Autoloading Rifle Introduction Year...

I also have a Henry lever action that will eat anything I feed it from CB caps all the way up to long rifle. Another fun gun to shoot. While we're on the subject of .22 rifles, I have a Nylon 66 in black with the chrome plate. I bought it from some idiot for $20 after he disassembled it for...

I have the Remington (I think it's stamped UMC) and the Browning. The Remington was my great-grandmother's, passed down to my grandmother and then to my mother. My mother passed it on to my sister who didn't want to take it home on an airplane. I offered her space in my gun safe until she could...

Oops! :shock:

About the same time as that, I was living just outside of Huntsville, Texas in a rental on the same property as the landlord. He had a 14 year-old son who like to roam the woods behind the house. (prison property, but we used to hunt it!) One day, the landlord came by and asked if I could...

Yum! I want some! 8) 8) 8) Mike

Actually, I was thinking of a place to store that carcass of a camper he was building since he's lost interest in it. That's about the tent is good for and the camper needs a place........... :roll: Mike

Yo, Ron! I've got a pretty nice tent I bought about 20 years ago that's never been used. I've set it up twice with the intention to take it camping, but no one has ever spent the night in it. I think it is about 8'x10' with a floor and mosquito netted windows and door. I'm thinking really...

And I feel the same about Australia. 8) I can't really say that about any other country. Mike

Looks to me like that is gonna be a beautiful boat! 8) 8) 8) Mike
