GunTechProgram GuideWhat’s In This Month’s Issue?Happy New Year GCA Silver members! Welcome to 2012 andthe January issue of GunTech. This month we have a greatline-up for you. We have not one, but two Firearm Evaluations,some great product demos and interviews, Darrell’s latest “Tipfor the Woodsman,” Jack’s “Tool of the Month” and more!Dust off your gym equipment from its holiday break and startworking out, ‘cause you’re gonna need some stamina to getthrough this month’s SUPER-SIZED edition of GunTech!Zeiss Dialyt 18x45x65ZeissField SpotterJack pays another visit toZeiss. This time he takes alook at a new spotting scope.Now what can Zeiss do with a spottingscope that few others can match? Super optics,that’s what! But they didn’t just stop there, they also cut downon the size and weight so you can carry this one with you onthe hunt.Superior AmmunitionOne thing about the SCI show is thateveryone there is focused on one thing…coming home from the hunt with trophies.This means that the stakes are much higherthan simply putting some holes in paper or reducing thevarmint population. In order to get results you need your rifleto perform as accurately as possible and that means usinghandloads. Since not all of us load our own ammo, Genechecks out the services provided by Superior Ammunition.You use their rounds to gauge your accuracy, then they willproduce additional rounds with that load profile wheneveryou need them.Chiappa M9-22 Berettareplica in .22LRChiappa ArmsEarlier this year we looked at the new,revolutionary, Rhino revolver from Chiappa. Thistime when Jack visits the booth they show himwhat ELSE they’ve been up to lately. They alwayshave a line up of well crafted reproductions of older guns.And this year was no exception. They show us a couple beautiesincluding a Civil War rifle! They also have some newentries in their line of .22 caliber versions of popular pistols(such as the Colt .45).Taylor's & Company RunningComanchero Carbine for MountedShooting competitorsrecently appeared in the series “Top Gun.” He asked if theywanted to see the customized guns he had Taylor’s &Company build for him. They said “Sure!” Denny not onlyshows them the guns and describes just why each modificationwas made, he also educates us on the game of mountedshooting.PDQ PrecisionThose of you who havetaken AGI courses featuringMr. Bob Dunlapknow that in order for agunsmith to make moneythey must charge enoughPDQ Precision Mini-Max steam cleanerfor their work and beefficient with their time. Well, when it comes to performing aclean-and-oil on a gun you can’t charge too much and it isgoing to take some time. That is… it used to. The newMini-Max Cleaning System can change all that. Jack not onlygets a demonstration, he also tries it out himself.Tips for the WoodsmanIn an earlier segment you learned of a company that willmake handloads for you so those of us who aren’t reloadingcan increase the performance of our rifles. In this month’s“Tips for the Woodsman” Darrell talks more about ammo performance,specifically what happens to that performancewhen the field conditions are hotter or colder than the conditionsyou developed the loads in. He gives us an easy way toreplicate those field conditions in a controlled environment sowe will know how to adjust for the changes and still shootwith maximum accuracy, even when it is very hot or very cold!Firearm Evaluation:Taurus 738 TCPOur first evaluation this month isof the Taurus 738 TCP. This is theirentry into the .380 caliber, personal protectionarena. It is aesthetically pleasing, lightweightand certainly compact, but how well is it designedand constructed and how does it perform? Bob and Ken giveit a thorough going over at the bench, then the crew runs itthrough its paces at the range in order to find out. What happenswill surprise both you and them. In the end the reviewsare good and bad!?SOCK-IT-OUT Socket head screw removerTool ofthe MonthThis month’stool is quitediminutive insize but it’sbig onperformance.It is the . . .Taylor’s & Co.As they were moving through the SHOT Show, Ken and Keithwere stopped by mounted-shooter Denny Chapman who Continue on page 83

4Jack’sCornerby Jack LandisAGI Technical Services Managerand GCA Connection EditorHappy New YearEveryone!!!New doings at AGI and GCA this year are coming “Fast &Furious”, you should excuse the expression. GCA is partneringwith Kerry Earnhardt, former NASCAR racer, number oneson of the immortal Dale and older brother of Dale Jr. An avidoutdoorsman, he will be acting as a spokesman for GCA. Seethe notice appearing right across the way. AGI and GCA arealso teaming up with Pathway Home, an organization forwounded sandbox veterans. There is more detail on this aswell in the following pages.Keith is back this month authoring his column, taking issuewith, and poo-pooing, my place holder piece: “Cooler Corn”recipe. In retaliation he has recipes for barbequed corn, ovenroasted corn, dry stuffing, a girlfriend friendly stuffing, themeaning of life, etc. Look in the last pages of this issue forthese contributions to the good life.Gene Kelly asked me late last year to build a couple more10/22s similar to the one which appears in the “Building theCustom Ruger 10/22” course and that we gave away at thelast Bash in 2010. These are for drawings we had at a fewshows late last year and, perhaps, at the GunStock Festivalthis year. I would be willing to include a 1 hour private conversation,although chaperoned, and preferably in a convivialtaphouse surrounding. Wow! Is that alone worth the price ofadmission?So far so good with the “Find the Dumb Things Jack Said” conteston the "Name that Part" page in the last few months'issues. After the first, there have been no winners, not justbecause I decide whether it was truly a brainless and incorrectstatement or merely a minor difference of opinion, butbecause the other people who read and proof the content ofthis august periodical have been extraordinarily vigilant. Thisis due partly to their extreme professionalism and conscientiousattention to detail, and maybe partly because I told themthey would share the expense of the awarded prizes if theymissed anything. Whatever works, eh?The SHOT Show will begin in only two weeks at the SandsConvention Center in Las Vegas. This year we are adding aseparate, though contiguous, booth for the Gun Club ofAmerica. This is a fairly large undertaking when you considerthe months of planning what we will do, how to lay out thebooths, collecting and shipping the booth and its content, anddeciding who will do what and when after the show starts.The actual show runs Tuesday through Friday, January 17-20,but there is much more than that involved. Several of us arriveon Sunday to actually unpack and set up the booth and products.Monday is "Media Day at the Range" where Gene, Keith,Robert, The Beauteous Lenée, Joe (Lefty Longridge) Alesia(and his student, protégé and up and coming professionalshooter Desiree Burt), and I will team up to shoot, film, andcomment on the various manufacturers’ new guns and products.Yeah, I know, there are 5,000 of you selfless memberswilling to fill in if one of us can’t make it. Your willingness tohelp without thought to your own schedules, obligations, andpersonal sacrifice is certainly noted and appreciated. Umhmm. If you are attending the show, be sure to stop by andsee all of us, including The Master; Bob Dunlap, His LoyalAcolyte and Factotum; KenBrooks, and The ImmaculatePistolsmith; Gene Shuey, inBooth #2110.We’re all really looking forwardto the NRA Show April 12-14,2012 not the least because itwill be held in our favoriteconvention city, St Louis. Notonly does the convention centerhave good food, but it iswell laid out and only a coupleThe venerable Missouri Athletic Clubof blocks from where we stayat the Missouri Athletic Club. While the rooms are small andsort of outdated, we don’t do anything in the room but sleep,shower and dress. They are fine for that. What it does have isa great location within walking distance of the ConventionCenter and all of the restaurants in the renovated downtownarea, and oneof the bestr e s t a u r a n t sI’ve ever eatenin. The service,surroundings,f u r n i s h i n g sand food arebeyond great.And, the restaurant, although the lighting ismuch lower in the evening!Even with afew dozenother greatrestaurants in the immediate area, we ate at the Club at leasthalf the time. Did I mention that the food was also VERY reasonablypriced? There is also an Olympic size pool upstairsand a huge Jacuzzi/spa, just the thing after being on your feetContinue on page 9

Latest News from the Gun Club of America . . .KERRY EARNHARDT JOINS THE GUN CLUB OF AMERICAAT THE 2012 SHOT SHOW IN LAS VEGASThe Gun Club of America (GCA), is pleased to welcome Kerry Earnhardt, eldest son of the legendary,7-time NASCAR Champion, Dale Earnhardt, and former NASCAR driver and avid outdoor enthusiast, toour fraternity. Earnhardt will be joining the GCA at the 2012 SHOT Show held at the Sands ExpoConvention Center in Las Vegas, NV January 17 – 20th, 2012."It's always great attending the SHOT Show and it's going to be even more fun this year to be involvedwith the folks at GCA,” commented Earnhardt. “I'm more of a traditional outdoorsman and have alwayswanted to be more educated on gunsmithing. I love guns of all kinds and even my wife has her ConcealedWeapon license, so I guess you could say it's a family affair.”Earnhardt’s same passion for racing is reflected in his commitment to the great outdoors. Today he hasswapped the driver’s seat for the tree stand. He is an avid outdoor enthusiast committed to supporting and educating the importance of landand animal preservation and conservation.Earnhardt continued, “I'm delighted to partner up with Gene Kelly and GCA to bring awareness to this time-honored craftsmanship. It's alwaysa pleasure meeting fans who have supported me throughout my racing career, but it's really something special getting to meet people whoshare the same passion for outdoor adventure."Earnhardt will be signing autographs at the AGI / GCA Booth #2110 at SHOT Show on Tuesday, January 18th from 10 am – 12 pm and 2 pm– 4 pm, and again on Wednesday, January 19th from 10 am – 12 pm and 2 pm – 4 pm.THE GUN CLUB OF AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN GUNSMITHINGINSTITUTE TEAM UP WITH THE PATHWAY HOME FOR 2012AGI and GCA have teamed up for 2012 in a joint partnership with The Pathway Home, a nonprofit,residential recovery program for veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars who deal withthe challenges of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).The Pathway Home is a program specifically created for and dedicated to serve our nation’s “NewWarriors” – those who have served in our nation’s global war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraqwho suffer from PTSD, TBI and other combat-related or social transition challenges. In the last threeyears, The Pathway Home has treated 300 warriors (active duty, National Guard, Reserve and recentlydischarged veterans) and has provided support and treatment for more than 120 of these warriors’ families.The Pathway Home is the only program of its kind in California licensed as a Social Rehabilitation Facility and certified by the Department ofMental Health to operate a residential treatment program for PTSD and war-related TBI.GCA and AGI have teamed up with The Pathway Home to help spread their mission through the GCA and AGI websites, as well as infeatured articles in the upcoming GunTech and Hot Brass magazines. In addition, a portion of proceeds from purchases made from AGI willgo toward funding The Pathway Home.“We are delighted about our new partnership with the Gun Club of America and the American Gunsmithing Institute,” commented founderand Executive Director, Fred Gusman. “This new partnership further supports our commitment to our veterans and our industry. We are veryexcited about these organizations’ abilities to help us expand our brand awareness and raise critical funding to help treat our nation’s warriorsas they adjust to life back at home.”The Pathway Home will also receive a portion of the proceeds from sales of the commemorative posters at the GCA’s largest event for 2012,Gunstock, which will be held June 15-17, 2012 in Fallon, Nevada.5

Ruger LCRBy Robert DunnAGI and GunTech Video Producer,AGI Pro Course Graduate, GCA Charter MemberRuger LCR .38spl +P laser sighted carry revolverI love the Ruger LCR!I just wanted to get thatstatement out of the wayso there is no guessing where Istand regarding this lightweightrevolver. I usually write about thefirearms that I personally own but the LCR isactually my wife's gun. I will own one myselfbefore too much time goes by because it is a practicalweapon and it's fun to shoot. I think that a revolver is the bestchoice for my wife for home defense. I say this because if sheis awakened at 3:00AM and has to defend herself against anintruder, all she would have to do is point at the bad guy andpull the trigger to get the desired results.By contrast, my choice for defense/offense is a 1911 pistol. Iam very familiar with that pistol and I am fairly tactically minded.The 1911 is probably not the best choice for my wifebecause she would have to concern herself with having thestrength to rack the slide to chamber a round and she wouldneed to make sure that the thumb safety is off before gettingdown to the business of dispatching potential foes. AlthoughI love firearms, my weapon of choice for an unarmed intruderwould be to whack them with a baseball bat, however mywife does not possess that skill set.cylinder. The length ofthis little revolver'sstainless steel barrel is1.875". The Ruger's"Monolithic Frame" whichsupports the barrel and cylinderis made of 7000 series aerospacegrade aluminum. The barrel threads into the barrelsleeve, which is an integral part of the frame.The grip section of the gun, (what Ruger calls the Grip Peg)allows a couple of different types of grips to be installed, suchas: the Hogue Tamer Grip or the Crimson Trace Lasergrip.Roxanne's LCR has the Crimson Trace Lasergrip and thatmakes it even more of a home protection asset. The laser isactivated by finger pressure via a button on the front of thegrip itself. The little red dot shining on center mass will giveyou results when the trigger is pulled! Sometimes that littlered dot will end a bad situation before you even need toshoot! The LCR has a fixed rear sight and a blade front sight,which is fine for shooting in the daylight but when you'restuck in the dark, the laser is quite an asset and it canimprove accuracy a great deal. I think that I would buy an XStritium front sight as well as the Lasergrip for my set up.There is one feature thattends to annoy me, like somany handguns of the 21stcentury, and that is thedreaded "Internal Lock",which is located at thebottom of the right side of the fire controlhousing. I guess you either like them or youdon't, and I don’t . . . case closed.Left side view of the LCRA look at the LCR's friction reducing cam. (courtesy of Ruger)The LCR is a reliable 5-shot double-action only self defenserevolver with some real innovations. When I first studied thisrevolver, I didn't see the "traditional" side plate and screwsthat are commonly found on a Smith & Wesson or Coltrevolver. What I found was a two piece frame. The LCR has apolymer fire control housing (what some might call the gripframe), which is where you will find the shrouded hammer(no hammer spur), mainspring and trigger/sear. Even thoughit weighs a mere 13.5 ounces (thus, “Lightweight CarryRevolver”), the recoil from the .38 special cartridges is verymanageable. The LCR is built to handle +P loads. Anotherweight reducing feature is the heavily fluted stainless steelA feature that Ido like is thatthe transfer-baris lowered out ofits firing positionwhen the hammerand trigger are in their forwardmost position. The hammersafely rests on the frame when thehammer is fully forward. This allows theDo we REALLY shooter to confidently carry the gun withwant to have to take all five chambers loaded.the grips off and putthem on to allow ourselves the questionable luxury of an action lock??I think this revolver would be a good carry gun for mebecause I am a smaller guy and it is sometimes hard to conceala big 1911 on my small frame. Comfort can be an issueas well because sometimes a larger pistol gets left at home. Ican wear this little gun in an ankle holster, a shoulder system,a traditional paddle or simply drop it in my pocket. Even if you6 Continue on page 156

Coming Next MonthFebruary is revolver month and Jack has not one, but twoprojects for you in February. First up: how to do a simpledouble-action trigger job on your Smith & Wesson revolver,then how to “true” the forcing cone and reduce the barrelcylinder gap on Smiths and similar types. He also shows agreat method for stoning parts (such as sears and hammers)that works well for those with little or no stoning experience.In “Tips for the Woodsman” Darrell discusses a subject thatmay not be exciting and sexy but at times it means EVERY-THING. He talks about security for you and your equipmentwhen you are out in the field, how to prevent theft and whatthings to watch out for along the way.FN Five-seveN 5.7x28mm Auto PistolNext, we evaluate the FN Five-seveN pistol.This is a unique caliber and an interesting pistol.Bob and Ken pick it apart at the bench and thenwe put it through its paces at the range.Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38revolver with built-in INSIGHT laserWe finish up with the Disassembly/Reassembly Course and this month it’s on yetanother revolver! This time it is the brand spanking new Smith& Wesson Bodyguard 38 that we evaluated earlier this year!Jack also shows you some great products and has his pick for“Tool of the Month.” So if you LIKE revolvers you will fall-inlovein the February issue of . . . GunTech! ◆Tip of the MonthDear Jack,While viewing the DVD from Guntech Magazine Volume 68-12/2011. I saw Jack demonstrating how to install a recoilpad. After he had ground the recoil pad to size, he had blackrubber dust all over himself. Yes, it is a messy job. What I dobefore I grind the pad, since I'm obviously waaay smarterthan Jack, is put on a very light nylon rain parka, that has ahood attached to it. I put on a baseball cap and then thehood goes over that. As I grind the pad, all of the dust fallson the parka and the floor. I get no dust on my clothes exceptfor my shoes. It works great!Jerry Spadorcio, AGI/GCA MemberThanks Jerry, I think . . . I just looked like a Yutz in the videobecause I was in the AGI shop. At home The Beauteous Leneestands by me and holds the shop vac hose nozzle over the topbelt roller so nary a rubber particle mars my flawless perfection. . . I'm somewhat surprised that your Loving Wife does not dothe same for you?8 Jack LandisProgram Guide Continued . . .“Sock-it-Out” tool. This little tool (or should I say: “tool set”),can pull your chestnuts out of the fire when you have astripped socket head cap screw. These are so commonlyfound on firearms these days that you may just want to addthis to your tool box. Watch as Jack demonstrates how easy itis to use them.Ceasar GueriniEven if this name doesn’t sound familiar to you, you willtruly appreciate the interview that Gene does with thepresident of the company. They are a relatively new firearmsmanufacturer with a specific goal in mind: produce a line ofshotguns that fit between the super-expensive handmadeguns and the regular production guns. Both the quality andthe features they pack into their semi-custom guns will mostlikely impress you. What is truly exciting is that they offer allof this at GREAT prices. Their “take” on the market is somewhatdifferent and it produces some innovative results whenit comes to the areas of adjustability and versatility.Firearm Evaluation:Ruger LC9OK, it’s time for our SECOND firearmevaluation! This time we are taking a look at thenew Ruger LC9. People kept asking for Ruger tomake a pistol like the LCR in 9mm, so they did!The LC9 is not much bigger than its little brother the LCR. Boband Ken give it close scrutiny at the bench and find things tolike and dislike. Then it’s off to the range for some thoroughtesting. The crew puts the little gun through its paces andcomes up with some interesting feedback when compared toBob and Ken’s review.Disassembly/ReassemblyCourseThis month Ken will show you how to disassembleand reassemble the double-barrel “coach gun” beingimported by the folks at Interstate Arms. This is a reproductionof the external-hammer, “coach-guns” that were so commonback in the 1800s. At first glance it seems like there isn’tmuch to take apart or put back together, but as Ken dives inyou’ll find that there is more to this gun than meets the eye!No matter, Ken makes it all look easy as he steers youthrough the process giving you the insight to do it right thefirst time.As you finish enjoying this super-sized issue of GunTech, wewill be leaving to film this year’s SHOT Show, and we willbring you the highlights in March. Naturally we will be backnext month as well, with more thrills and chills . . . in GunTech!◆

Proven on geese and tried on gobblers,Ithaca's Mag 10 could have been . . .Another Classic Gun Digest reprintA 65-YARD TURKEY GUNTHE GOBBLER came in strutting, and from the instant itstepped into the opening nearly 70 yards from where I sat, Iknew it was mine!This judgment wasn't due entirely to the fact that I waslooking at it down the shotgun barrel at the time it appeared,since normally a shotgun and that kind of yardage don't combineto make for a happy ending to a turkey hunt. In this case,however, it was the matter of a view over the barrel of a particularkind of shotgun, and one in which I had full confidenceregarding how it would perform at such a distance.Actually, while I had no personal precedent that would serveto back this feeling, I had other experiences to verify mythinking. This was my first time out for turkeys with the IthacaMag 10, but I was fully aware of what I could expect in theway of range. And an earlier test pattern had shown that boththe uniformity and density at 65-70 yards were adequate fortoppling a tom. Since I’d seen Canada geese hit lethally atyardages up to 80 yards--some of them by my Mag 10-- therewas no doubt in my mind that it would kill turkeys equallywell. The bird was standing in a patch of light, the last whichlay between us, so I decided to take what looked to be as perfectlyframed a shot as I'd get.There wasn't any question in my mind that the bird shouldn'tbe absolutely dead after the charge flipped it over backward,but what I believe and what turkeys do is often widely separated.I've seen what appeared to be lifeless gobblers sprintaway, solidly proving that the old "bird in the hand worth twoin the bush" philosophy was originated by a turkey hunter.In any case, I eased up to my bird, ready to kill it a couplemore times if necessary. But it was sure 'nuf' dead, withenough shot in its head to kill two or three more turkeys.The first time I ever hunted with a Mag 10 I found myselfthinking about the big gun's potential for turkeys. Due towhere I was and what was going on, it would have beenim possible, for instance, to have stood in a corner for fiveminutes and not thought about a Mag 10! The gun and itsperformance were what the whole thing was about. Five gun10and hunting writers were involved back then. We were theguests of Ithaca Gun Company at Ithaca, New York, to explorethe Mag 10's performance with improved Remington loads.There was then one selection of shot available in 10 gaugecases - No. 2s and that one type of game - geese - was consideredas logical Mag 10 territory. The gun had alreadyenjoyed great success as a goose killer, and there were eventhose who had taken a fancy to using it on high-flying ducks.Outside of waterfowl, it seemed to have no natural home.Being a turkey hunter, I could immediately see the immenseadvantage of having a shotgun that could increase killingrange by 20 yards or more. Range on turkeys is sometimesvastly more critical a factor than in some other types of hunting,and turkey hunters are inclined to be extremely cautiousabout shooting beyond what they believe to be positivelylethal distances.But "talking turkey" actually involved loads more than theMag 10 itself. It is immediately obvious that the 32-inch, fullchokedbarrel of the gun will handle that end of the bargain.Maximum performance or, more accurately, the best patternswould be obtained by handloading until some proven commercialloads could be made available. No. 2s aren't whatturkey hunters want for head shots.It wasn't, however, until the following spring that I got achance to see how quickly the Mag 10 took hold in southernturkey territory. Ben Rodgers Lee, the Coffeeville, Alabama,master turkey hunter gave the big gun its initial exposure inthat state. Within a couple of months the Mag 10's fame hadspread across the southern states like wildfire. In a sense, itwas a "better mousetrap," and surely the first one to appearin this sport in a long time!Ben says that he knew the moment he saw the first Mag 10that it would become the darling of dedicated turkey hunters:"Look at it this way; turkey hunters are faced with trying tooutwit the most intelligent and crafty of all game birds.They're always on the lookout for anything that will legallyand ethically assist them in this sport."Continue on page 11

A 65-yard Turkey Gun Continued . . ."When the Mag10 appeared (a gun that could provide cleankills at greater ranges than the 3-inch 12 gauge guns thatthey had been using) they thought it was the greatest thingsince sliced bread! The higher cost and the additional weightprovided no obstacle to their thinking; they worried mostlyabout the number of them in supply. You recall, I'm sure, thattrying to get them in the South was really a problem for sometime. I guess it was a problem in other places, too, and theturkey hunters' interest just added to it.""Anyway, it's established as 'the' weapon now in the top ranksof the turkey plan, and there have been some interestinghandloads developed for use in the guns." He stoppedmomentarily and chuckled, then added. "You recall some ofmy first tries, don't you?"He was referring to a hunt on which he, baseball great TedWilliams, and I were teamed up on Alabama turkeys with Mag10s. It was Ted's first turkey hunt, and Ben had handloadedthe shells we all were carrying. What Ted and I didn't knowwas that Ben had used three different shot sizes in them-4s,6s and 7s-but none of these were identified. We had a grab -bag in the way of choice, in other words.Naturally, this wasn't research in even rudimentary form, butit does illustrate the problem in loads that accompanied thefirst Mag 10 use by turkey hunters. What has happened subsequentto those beginning efforts has improved the pictureconsiderably, but there's still a lot left to be desired as far ascommercial ammunition is concerned.No. 4 shot can be obtained in factory loads, but little has beendone to look further into the matter of coming up with somesophisticated turkey ammunition. There's no question thatsome individual handloaders have accomplished this, yet thatisn't of benefit to the hunter who has to rely on "store bought"shells.Thinking about the turkey hunting possibilities on that goosehunt, I recognized that the Mag 10 would also probably be apotent addition to deer hunters' arsenals when buckshot orslugs were to be used. It had everything that could be desiredregarding buckshot: more pellets and more punch. In the wayof slugs, there would be more weight and, as with the buckshotidea, more punch. For both it would mean additional range.This, of course, wasn't something that limited itself to theSouth, since there are 46 states that allow the use of shotgunsfor deer hunting, and of these, 32 permit buckshot. Withall but four of the 50 states involved, a lot of hunters could beinterested.At the time, the trouble was that buckshot loads for the 10gauge weren't available, and from the information anyonehad, no one had even experimented with slugs. Achieving theright balance for buckshot wasn't something likely to posemuch of a problem, but slugs would be a different matter.The wildfire reaction that the turkey hunting potential of theMag 10 elicited didn't follow where deer hunting was concerned,possibly because in this sport there's such a diversityof weapons used. Too, getting buckshot handloaded didn'tpose much of a problem, so no fanfare accompanied the Mag10s acceptance into the ranks of deer guns.The big gun, orphaned by Ithaca's problems, still saw service in Southernspringtime timber providing more reach than any other commercial shotgun.It turned out that Ted killed an 18 pound gobbler the firstmorning with a head shot from over 50 yards. The birddropped cleanly with its head thoroughly and heavily penetratedby shot. Ben did a minor autopsy to determine the shotsize, explaining to us the reason for it. He succeeded in pickingout several shot for his examination."Well, this shows that 7s will do the trick, but I believe I'drather rely on 6s or 4s over the long haul. With the amount ofshot these big hulls hold, you'd still get density even with 4s,so this would make them about the equivalent in this respectof 6s in a 12 gauge 3-inch shell."It's an effective gun for the purpose, as I discovered. In the fallof 1976 I hunted with the Mag 10 at a hunting camp near theNorth Carolina coast with the idea of deliberately placingmyself in the kind of cover where buckshot is most desirable.I wasn't trying to handicap myself; my main purpose was tonote the distances at which I could see deer passing and laterdo some test firing to determine what kind of killing pattern Iwould have had. It was a bucks only hunt conducted withdogs, and since there are plenty of deer at this site, I was sureI'd have plenty of animals pushed past me.It worked out well, and I ended up with seven spots to testwhere deer passed at what would be maximum 12 gaugerange. Using a sheet of heavy paper with a deer outlinesketched on it at each one of them, I found out what I couldContinue on page 1311

Producer’sCutby Keith HezmalhalchAGI/GCA ExecutiveVideo Producer andNew Age SageNot with a bang but not with a whimper either . . .Welcome to 2012 and welcome BACK to Producer’s Cut!There are a few topics I want to cover this month, so think ofthis as a post-holiday smorgasbord of sorts! First, I want toaddress the cooler corn article from last month, an interestingidea that makes sense under certain conditions. I don’thave an extra cooler lying around or feel like pulling out twoHUGE pots and spending the 15 or 20 minutes or so to bringsaid pots to a boil on my electric stove when I am hosting abarbecue for 6 to 10 friends, so here’s the way I do it . . .More than a bun in the oven . . .When I barbecue I am usually cooking ribs (beef or pork),therefore the barbecue is closed up for at least 45 minutes toan hour. It has three racks in it. I put a rack of ribs on thelower rack and a rack of ribs on the second rack. I seasonthem before cooking and then alternate them from upper tolower rack once every 20 to 30 minutes while cooking.Third Eye Blind . . .The third rack? I lay out up to 12 ears of corn stillin their husks on that top rack and leave them inthere the entire time. Believe you me, if you likecorn, then you will love it when it is cooked in thehusk. It has a flavor unlike any other and… in theevent you are distracted and forget to put it in…or worse yet leave it in too long? You can put it in foras little as 20 minutes or up to 1½ hours! In the case ofthe shorter cook time, it is still done. In the case of thelonger cook time a few ears will be browned in places.This is not a bad thing! The corn has started to caramelizeand is just heaven!But I threw another shrimp on . . .“But I’m having more people over so my barbecue is full!” or“I’m grilling fish/burgers and such so the lid is open!” Noproblem! You still got an oven inside your house, right? Thecorn doesn’t know the difference between the BBQ and youroven. That’s right, you can load up your oven with even morecorn, just make sure the husks and silk are not dangling overthe cooking elements!And now, for my next act . . .Here’s the best part! The corn can lie in the BBQ or oven (heatoff) up to 1½ hour on a cool evening and the husks keep eachear piping hot. We shuck it over the fire pit and then drop it12on your plate with the rest of your goodies. I’ll put my huskbakedcorn up against any other corn-on-the-cob recipe anytime!Then there was . . .stuffing, lots andlots of stuffing!!I don’t knowabout you, butmy FAVORITE part of Thanksgiving/Christmas is not the turkey (don’t get me wrong, I loveturkey!), it’s the stuffing (or dressing) and gravy!!! I love mymom’s old fashioned dry dressing. Do I eat it dry? *%#@ NO!I put gravy over it (and everything else on my plate except thecranberry sauce)! This year I decided to experiment and“enhance” my mom’s recipe. In fact, most of the cooking I dois “enhanced cooking” which makes my meals more gourmetlike but keeps preparation time to a minimum. If you like,I can elaborate another time and perhaps share my“homemade macaroni and cheese” recipe and others, but Idigress . . .Just hold it open and cram it in . . .of course there’s no need to do that when you’re making drydressing. Here’s the reason I decided to experiment: Suzyhates stuffing/dressing, homemade, “Stovetop”, doesn’t matter,she hates it! I’ve taken Stovetop and added her favorite,(mushrooms) and she will eat maybe two bites then push itaside. So, I thought hmmm… I’m just going to add the thingsI would enjoy tasting in mom’s stuffing and see what happens.Worst case scenario, I love it and she still doesn’t like it.What’s behind door number two? . . .Here’s my mom’s recipe which is over a hundred years old:pull apart fresh bread into crumbs (approximately ½ inch by½ inch) into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Add ½ cup diced celery and½ cup diced yellow onion. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon poultryseasoning. Drizzle on 2/3 cup melted butter. Bake in oven for25 min @ 325. It turns out nice and goes soooo good withgravy over it!and now, for something completely different! . . .(not really, I just love Monty Python). OK, here’s how Ienhanced it… increase the onion and celery from ½ cup to 1cup each and increase the poultry seasoning to 2 tsp. Add: 1cup finely diced pimiento peppers (sweet peppers) or red andyellow bell peppers) and two cups diced, fresh portabella (or“baby bella”) mushrooms (I get my mushrooms and peppersfrom Costco).But wait, it’s getting pretty full! . . .When you do the bread, make sure it is not quite even withthe top of the baking dish. By the time you add the celery,peppers, onions and mushrooms and mix them with yourhands it will be heaping a bit but no worries, it will settlewhen it bakes. Now, drizzle the butter on, I use ¾ to 1 cupContinue on page 13

Producer's Cut Continued . . .melted butter, and for all our sakes, don’t use fake butter!Okay? Be sure to add the poultry seasoning to the breadbefore the other ingredients.Now . . . the pièce de résistance, sprinkle grated parmesancheese over the top (the powder, not the strings). Covercompletely but not too thick. Spray it thoroughly with yourwater sprayer (What!? You don’t have one!!?? We’ll addressthe amazing uses of a water sprayer another time). This“bonds” the cheese to the bread and moistens the dressing abit more. Now, place it in the oven to bake for 25 to 30minutes @ 325. I will open the oven and spray it again acouple of times during baking.Uh oh! . . .A side note for you distracted chefs . . . The third time I madethis, I forgot it for 45 minutes ‘cause I forgot to start my timer,and it still turned out fine. A few of the top crumbs got a littletoo toasty and the onions started to caramelize in a few places.Is that your FINAL answer!? . . .Ok, so the proof is in the pudding (or stuffing in this case)! Imade it for Thanksgiving, and Suzy? She quietly ate it andthen said “THIS is GOOD!!” (notice the punctuation ‘causeshe’s normally pretty low key), yes, that was her unsolicitedresponse! A few days later, Gene was up filming and I servedhim T-day leftovers for lunch. He was eating and suddenlysaid “This is good!!” then as he was getting in his truck todrive away he remarked, “That stuffing really was good!”Robert came by to drop off tapes and I gave him a sample.He said it was the best stuffing he had ever tasted. So, thereyou go, my Christmas/Thanksgiving gift to you, my newestcreation!Oh, one more thing . . .Suzy, Gene, Robert and since then, my daughter, my cousinand her daughter, all had this stuffing with no gravy on it andstill loved it!! At Christmas we tried putting some in the turkey.It was too wet and not that great. It appears my “New 100 yearold Stuffing” recipe is best prepared “dry!”Onto the other things . . .My Bay laurel trees were dropping nuts this year!? I have livedhere 24 years now and always notice details but have neverseen them do that before. They are bitter unless you cookthem but the squirrels seem to like them. They resemble anacorn but more rounded, their husk is like that of a walnutwith the hard shell underneath.The high point was . . .The real high-point of my holidays this year, (ever notice theword “holidays” is actually a contraction of “holy days?”) wasthat my daughter was here from Christmas Eve throughChristmas afternoon. I’ve been looking forward to this forever! It was the first Christmas we have spent together at myhouse. The last Christmas Eve and Christmas morning I spentwith her was when her mom and I were still together. She was4, now she’s 30. She made it clear that she always wanted tospend Christmas with her mom and brothers, so we wouldcelebrate Christmas close to New Years. But her mom movedfarther away and her brothers left home this year so it wasfinally Dad’s turn! Thanks sweetie, I love you!Topping it off . . .I made sure that it was an “Old Fashioned” Christmas, the waywe did it when the 3 roommates first moved up here on themountain: fresh boughs around the house, the tree, train,lights, the whole 9 yards. It was the first time Christmasreally felt like Christmas in many years. I sincerely hope yourholidays were wonderful for you and yours and look forwardto spending this great year with each of you in GunTech.God Bless us . . . EVERYONE!A 65-yard Turkey Gun Continued . . .expect. I was using handloads developed thusly: 15 #00 pelletsin a Remington case with a roll crimp, Remington PowerPiston 10 gauge wad, 37 grains of Hercules Herco powder, aNo. 57 Winchester primer and block styrofoam ground veryfine to serve as a buffer.In all seven cases - and all of these at distances between 60and 70 yards through varying amounts of light brush - at leastfive pellets were inthe vital spots, andone containedseven. As informalas it was, the testproved what Iwanted to know.Ironically, the spikebuck I killed was atconsiderably lessdistance. Reason?It was the onlybuck I saw!Will the Mag 10ultimately blossomout as a standardin the areas of deer and turkey hunting as it has for geese?The big gun is a multi-purpose heavyweight with a solidfuture, but Ithaca is in deep trouble as we go to press. Givenproper ammunition and the gun's performance, it couldhappen, but not if no one makes or services the gun.As for me, in at least two areas I know what it's like to be apioneer regardless. ◆◆By H.
