I have four that roam my back yard at the lake. One is the size of a chicken. I don't care for them on the ranch but they are protected, so are the Caracara.

RR7

P.S. Quail taste great, I'm not sure about Roadrunner or Caracara.

rangerider7

They also eat quail and quail eggs. I have seen them do it many times. Coons and Skunks are hard on quail as well as yotes obviously. RR7

Only LEOs. RR7

The buckle set was made at the Texas Prision System in Huntsville, Texas. The rest were made in Mexico. RR7

You are so right. I did not even notice, I just went by what the dealer said. It even says on the other side "Corsiana Police Force Sesquicentennial Edition".

Great job olyinaz you are exactly right. I have not seen George Jackson Jr. in many years. I'm not sure he is still around, hope so. We use to trade a lot. RR7

Thanks, RR7. I'm having a little trouble in the lower back so I'm taking it slow for a while. My mother-in-law had a stroke so my wife is in Dallas to see about her. I'm batching it and celebrated my birthday with shot or two of Wild Turkey, the liquid kind. Take care.

Mystery solved. Texas Jack Jr., (1860 appr. to 1905), adopted son of Texas Jack Omohundro, is best known for running a Wild West show and circus where he gave Will Rogers his start as an entertainer.[1] Not long after the American Civil War, Texas Jack Omohundro found a five year old boy, orphaned w...

rangerider7

Here is a cabinet photo of the original "Texas Jack" Omohundro that was with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. I can see a resemblance but sometimes performers in wild west shows just took the name of a famous showman and used it for themselves. :? http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/ran...

Written on the back in pencil is "Texas Jack Jr." HMMMM RR7

They called them cabinet photographs because they were usually displayed on cabinets, at least that was the way I understood it. RR7

rangerider7

This is a neat cabinet photo. What do you think about it?

rangerider7

FAITH is not believing that God can, FAITH is believing that God will. I think about these words often, especially when there is a tough decision I'm about to make. I believe God will show you the way and help you in finding the answer. God Bless. RR7

rangerider7

Have a great one and thanks for what you do. RR7

rangerider7

You got the eye! That's a nice looking rifle and I know just how you feel the first time you shoot a newly acquired gun. It sure feels good when it shoots like that one.

rangerider7

After my thread on new 1911s I decided on the same two but couldn't find a Ruger anywhere, so I decided to wait until I could. In the mean time I helped my son pick out a Colt Officers Model for him at the same price. With all the talk I gave him about how that 70 series Colt would increase in value...

rangerider7

As I stated yesterday that I was going to take it to the ranch to see how it shoots. It shot very well. The cattle showed their approval by taking notice and mooing with a positive glare.

It is always nice to buy or trade for a used gun and find out it operates and shoots well. RR7

I have had the opportunity to hold several well known Texas Ranger's Colts and Winchesters, some were plain and some were engraved. They dated from 1880s to pre-WWII. I just sat there and looked at them in my hands thinking about the men that used them, all before I was born.

RR7

rangerider7

There is such a great feeling in holding old Colt SAAs. Other than squeezing my wife and family, there isn't a better one for me. Congratulations, I hope it all works out. RR7

rangerider7

I wonder how long this organization lasted after Villa invaded Columbus New Mexico?

I guess it could have changed it's doctrine to anyone threatening America. RR7

rangerider7

Who were they? I found a postcard from a ghost town in Texas dunning a guy for dues. It was signed by the secretary of A.L. of H. 1899. The town was Thurber, Texas. It was a coal mining town. Google it, it was way ahead of its time. RR7 This is the only photo I could fine on the subject. http://i43....

We both have pretty small hands. He will not be shooting it that much once he gets it down. I carry a Colt D.S. myself. RR7

rangerider7

He has a shotgun and rifles but decided to buy a pistol for home protection and maybe conceal and carry. I had ask about which 1911 would be best a while back for myself. When he ask which one to get I had some information to go on. We went to Cabela's on Saturday, he had a bunch of gift cards he ha...

It's been going on for 47 years and might go on a few more.

Had mine about 6 months ago. Congratulations for the good news. RR7

I have shown this Colt New Service 44-40 D.W. King's conversion before but here it is again. I love shooting it and its a pretty good barbecue gun.

RR7

rangerider7

They did a great job! A 44-40, 4 3/4, 1st generation Colt SAA can't be beat in a revolver. I have two in 3/4 and two in 5 1/2. One is a new 3rd generation. They just feel right in my hands.

As we say in Texas "It'll do!!"

Nice!

Pitchy, I found an article by Dale H. Peterson called "Coffeyville, Kansas Revisited". He states he went to check out the 1886 Winchester rifle. It has a serial number of 55710 in 38-56 caliber but has been altered from the time it was ordered. The forearm has been cut shorter and the unde...

My thoughts and prayers go out to Chris's wife and two kids as well as his family; as well as to Chad Littlefield's family his neighbor that was killed also. I understand he was throwing a charity event for veterans at Rough Creek Lodge and showing some vets some sniper techniques when Eddie Routh, ...

rangerider7

Pitchy, I knew it was an 1886 but the forearm and the barrel looked a bit odd to me too. I decided to wait and see what members said about it. Thanks to EdinCT we got more information.

RR7

rangerider7

EdinCT, thanks for the information on the 86. I have a 1886 Winchester rifle in 38-56 and the info makes a good reference for people to look at. I think the old camera and the angle makes the forearm look short. I'm not sure, it could be a short rifle. Did any of them have a shorter forearm? Thanks ...

I owned the photo that you talk about years ago. I had to sell it and the badge he wore as a San Antonio Policeman # 19 to put a down payment on a house. George Jackson bought it along with other items. I'm not sure if he is still alive but might be. I knew Robert Stephens in the 70s. We had a littl...

rangerider7

That's really nice! RR7

rangerider7

I have a few old 38-40s myself. Colt SAA, Colt Bisley, Winchester "73", and Winchester 1992 Carbine and love them all. I agree with M.M. Wright. RR7 http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/DCP_8432.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/DCP_7237.jpg http://i43....

rangerider7

Question, why wouldn't a new Colt SAA in 32-20 handle heavy loads. Is it not thick and heavy enough.

rangerider7

That will draw arrention at the Bar-B-Que!

rangerider7

I have been to McBride's once. He didn't have enough older guns for me. I figure if the gun shop doesn't have very many older guns they don't give much for trade-ins and don't pay much for used guns so I leave quickly. I seldom buy new guns. That's my two cents.

RR7

rangerider7

I think the Items are props but the photographer must being doing quite well, those are some nice "Wild West" clothes and gear, except the straw hat. He might have got them from a "WILD WEST SHOW" that closed down. Who Knows! RR7
