RiggerLee 61 #1 April 12, 2007 New Bang stick is in. Bad news is the 50 cal barral was not ready in time. Jease you'd think 8 months would be enough lead time. They had to ship it with a 457. It's a slightly longer version of a 45-70. The brass is thicker and allows it to be loaded hotter. It will be a lot nicer to jump with.

RiggerLee 61 #10 April 12, 2007 Not a silly question. There are in fact lever action shot guns. Or there were at one time. http://iacshotguns.com/87w.html This is a Rifle. It's built off a Marlin. An 1895xlr to be specefic. That's a dime by the muzel. It's 45 cal. chambered in 457 see link. Not the most powerful cartrage around but it's a take down and cheeper then some of the bolt action take down that were out there. The 50 alaskan has a good bit more ass but it wasn't going to be ready in time. LeeLee [email protected] www.velocitysportswear.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyrion 0 #11 April 12, 2007 Thanks I saw the lever and thought "Didn't Arnie have a lever action shotgun in T2 when he was riding his bike shooting the locks on the fences open?".... And that's the extent of my firearm knowledge, movies and video games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #12 April 12, 2007 QuoteI don't think I have ever seen a lever action shotgun. Lever Action Shotgun. For those like Tyrion, from the gunless parts of the world, windy days in Twin Falls offers a tour of Sportsman's Warehouse, just a few steps from the bridge, where you can see hundreds of firearms. Tyrion, you can tell the difference between rifles and shotguns in casual conversation because shotguns are generally described as "gauge" (which refers to the diameter of the barrel), like a "12 gauge shotgun," whereas rifles are generally designated in inches or millimeters (like Lee's .50 or .45 caliber, which indicates a barrel measuring .5 or .45 inches in diameter). If you want an incredibly detailed lecture on firearms, firearms terminology, or especially firearm politics, try PMing JohnRich.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RiggerLee 61 #15 April 13, 2007 For all practical perpouses the are no hand guns in Canada. Actualy it's all our fault here in the US. Remember we shipped most of our pinko hippy passafist north of the boarder back in the 60's. The have been breading and multipling up there. Now their spawn have taken over the goverment.

SabreDave 0 #20 April 13, 2007 Quote For all practical perpouses the are no hand guns in Canada. Lee Hmmmm, I guess the ones I have must be a halucination!? Some facts from the US gov't...... There are an estimated 7.4 million firearms in Canada(NFA estimates 15 million), about 1.2 million of which are restricted firearms (mostly handguns). In the U.S., there are approximately 222 million firearms; 76 million of the firearms in circulation are handguns. For 1987-96, on average, 65% of homicides in the U.S. involved firearms, compared to 32% for Canada For 1987-96, the average firearm homicide rate was 5.7 per 100,000 in the U.S., compared to 0.7 per 100,000 for Canada. For 1989-95, the average handgun homicide rate was 4.8 per 100,000 in the U.S., compared to 0.3 per 100,000 for Canada. Handguns were involved in more than half (52%) of the homicides in the U.S., compared to 14% in Canada. For 1989-95, the average non-firearm homicide rate was 3.1 per 100,000 people in the U.S., compared to 1.6 per 100,000 for Canada. Not packing handguns around doesn't mean we don't have them. We just don't have as many. Handgun registration has been in effect in this country since 1934. I like guns, I own guns but I am perfectly ok with not being able to pack a Glock around. I would have to check but one used to be able to pack a pistol in areas such as Baffin and the far north for protection from bears and angry Muskox. My dad worked up above the arctic circle for awhile back in the day and packed a .44 with the blessings of the RCMP.SabreDave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RiggerLee 61 #25 April 14, 2007 The standard minemum equipment list for a trip like this is a little diffrent from normal jumps. It incudes things like: Crampons ice axe liquid fuel stove bivi gear rope bolt kit and a jumpable gun with some ass. This is a base thread. I've had conversations with Chad and others over the years about how to jump gear down and this is one of the larger hurdles. Restricted fire arms, I think that what they call it, are a pain. There are a few reasons why they will let an American bring a hand gun in. An established compatention, etc. Very restrictive. Where will it be stored, what route will it take, etc. Big hassle. There is no way they would just let you wonder around with a good hand canon. A manual gun like that lever action is relatively easy to get in if you are headed up to the wilds. There are provisions spicificly for that. The statistics he is quoteing make my point for me. If I need to kill some one. I want my gun with me. It's much safer to cap some one with a gun then to get close enough to use a knife. Those numbers simple show that you do not have an adaquite number of fire arms in your country and that they are not easly enough accessable. Go to our web site and look at the humorous T-shirts. I think you'll get my point. LeeLee [email protected] www.velocitysportswear.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
