I see what you mean. However, an alternative view is that Hakaman purchased ammunition that will not fire in his Ruger. The wise professionals have not devised a fix that will allow this ammo and other similar ammunition to be fired reliably. That leaves him with the choice of disposal of a potentially dangerous explosive material, long term retention of such material with the potential for corrosion and heavy metal problems arising from long term storage under less than optimum environmental conditions or a less expensive, but acceptable, solution (Single Six). A warning of the potential problem with option three was also presented. The Henry option, based on months of contemplation at near arctic conditions (aka cabin fever) has also been presented. Hakaman now has a number of options for solution to his problem and a new means of making his contribution to staving off the current economic crisis.

Lust in your heart for a Single Six? Better in your range bag than in your heart.

The Browning Medalist problem has been taken under advisement and research will be done this weekend even if it means the onorous task of going to a gun show.

My funfilled day has been devoted to preparing an environmental permit application, emails with regulators in two states and consultants in two states. Does it show?

I bought one and it led to a Blackhawk .357

I checked with the gun doctor and he told me to take 3 anecdotes and call him in the morning.

Gun doctor told me to go shoot some ammo and forget it, Henry sure likes that 'Fiocchi #22CRN. Was in WalMart early this afternoon, shelves were pretty empty. Lots of shotgun shells. No Fed Bulk a few Fed Automatch, lots of Remington Golden Bull.

The best way I've found to dispose of 'less than satisfactory' ammo is to bury it in a berm - one round at at time.

I can always find a way to shoot it, heck that's one reason why I still keep an old RG Model 66.

OK, I was attempting to shame the membership into taking the high ground on this thread because there is little difference in suggesting acquiring a new firearm to dispose of the offending ammo, and purchasing an automobile simply because one happens to have the proper set of hubcaps hanging on a hook in the garage. However, I yield, and admit that now I feel that my life will not be complete until I add not necessarily in this order a Henry because working the lever will put a smile on my face,a Medalist because they are unique, a Single Six to rid myself of ammo that doesn't shoot well in the others.

I see our gentle efforts to get you to broaden your horizons are working. It is allowed to shoot good ammo in a Single Six, but the ability to shoot ammo the bottom feeders want is an advantage. I got to admit that I'm short in the Henry (or 39A) department and have to make do with the Win Mod 69 I've been shooting for the last half-century.

Kaz, I wonder if that is impossible to do?

Gun doctor told me to go shoot some ammo and forget it

It's amazing how therapeutic it is OM

I can always find a way to shoot it

I don't intend on wasting it, even if I have to shoot it one round at a time, hand fed

or a less expensive, but acceptable, solution (Single Six)

yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Haka ma fren, how much of that stuff did you buy??????

Hakaman · Post by **Hakaman** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:17 pm

Just one brick, and I've got 200 rounds left, just enough to force me to buy the convertable.

Well Hak, remember that I tried to save you from crowding up your safe, but when you said:"just enough to force me to buy the convertible" I see that your resistance is down. Now, as it happens this small burg that I live near is having a gun show this week end I'm safe to attend just to walk around as there is nothing that I need

Regards

How much you want to bet you don't walk out of ther with a new to you gun? Went into my friends shop just looking for a gun for Hakaman and ended up buying Henry.

Well, the only reason that I'm going to walk through this gun show today is just to see if there is a Single Six Hak might be interested in

Yup, believe your every word, same thing I said the day I bought Henry. By the way, did you know that donlies can fly? You don't expect me to believe you , you. I don't believe me most of the time so how should I be able o believe you? Give the dog a cookie!!

How you all do carry on... I have finally joined this conversation to let you know that I very astutely did the obvious first, and then worked to the sublime. I bought my convertable, i.e. both cylinders, old model Single Six back in the '60s when they were selling for the astronomical price of 60-something dollars. This satisfied my loss of a H&R 926 (I think) and an original Ruger Bear Cat which some individual should burn in H*** for taking from me. More recently (in the last year) a couple Buck Marks came my way and inflamed an old desire. To wit, I have added a couple pawn shop .22s (Glenfield 187 and Savage mdl 60) for the grandkids; a Henry that plunked my heart strings with it's beautiful wood; an old, terribly abused Win. mdl 1906 that sorely needed a new home with lots of TLC; a '77 year model Challenger II that evil people on some forum kept talking about; and within the last week or two (again because of people of uncertain heritage) a '63 model Browning Medalist that turned up at the same pawn shop as the .22s and begged me to take home. I believe, with the above acquisitions, in addition to some also held Remington, Browning and Mossberg .22s, I can properly dispose of any .22 ammunition, one way or another. So, that is my story and I am sticking to it.

By the way, an address can be provided by PM to all those who have .22 ammo and lack a suitable means of disposal. All AMMO will graciously be accepted, post paid, at my address (available upon request).
