check this one out. A 22/410 the 410 when shooting slugs at 50 yds. has the same power as a 357. this will take care of most of my problems when out in the bush.

Sorry, I don’t get to spend much time on line lately.
A moon clip is a round disk of spring steel (usually) that has cut outs for the cartridges to snap into. They come in full moon (6 rounds) half moons (3 rounds) and quarter moons (2 rounds, hard to find). The star extractor on a revolver won't work on a rimless cartridge like the .45 ACP without one. I had a 1917 S&W that used moon clips, I wish I still did. Wild West Guns in Alaska does the conversion, as I am sure do others, and is a quality company. They build very nice takedown Marlin 336 customs also. http://www.wildwestguns.com

My preference is the 336, easy to disassemble and can be cleaned from the breach. Plus side ejection allows for easier optics mounting. I don’t know if the factory chambers for .454 Casull.

Mel comes up often in posts like this, and I'm surprised that people so easily bash a dead man's reputation while having so little facts.

People fail to note that Mel was wheelchair bound (for some time) and diabetic. Some try to make it appear that he was a healthy 47 year old who was so obsessed with surviving when the SHTF that he lost sight of the need to deal with the here and now.

From what I have read about Mel (written by people that knew him), there were other severe health factors involved in his death. CHF is treatable, but for how long? He died in 1980. Perhaps he had been suffering with it for 20 years.

In response to the original poster, you can't go wrong with a bolt action 22 and a Remington 870 pump.

Who makes that rifle?
