Individual likes/dislikes are probably good - otherwise, if we all liked the same things, we might all be driving Yugos and lack of competition might price them out for many of us - That said, I admit while I prefer no scopes on my lever guns, the Williams FP71 aperture sight - aperture removed for ...

Sorry for the double posting - my computer/Windows7 or something is evidently jealous of my love of guns

It's a no-brainer for me - my wife gave me this "NIB, unfired, with manual" Winchester 95 in 30-06 for our 25th anniversary seven years ago (OK - so I did "help" her find it - husbands are obligated to help wives any way we can - besides, after a number of years, getting each oth...

We need to remember the safety stuff too - guys. One of the other surgeons I competed with was really promoting the mandatory seat belt laws (I had used belts I scrounged out of junked planes in my Korean War duty for my car - before he ever thought of them) - but anyway, he pushed me into taking on...

Just joined http://www.motorcycleforum.com and already learned a couple of things that could be helpful. 1. Always keep your distance behind trucks with trailers hauling livestock! 2. In orange raising country--like here in Hemet--watch-out for oranges that have fallen off of trucks. Bet some of yo...

You could buy my BMW R100s (1977 - one owner) since I've lived long enough to have bad knees - and some heart problems - that I had to give up riding - heart breaking -

Tried to like them but the carry thing got in the way of that. Those who use them - how do you like to carry them? I carried mine one season. Just grabbed it just forward of the magazine. No, it isn't as comfortable to carry as say a Savage 99 but it is tolerable and much nicer to me than a modern ...

For years, the prize largest elk rack (mounted in a cape as an afterthought) hung in a friend's motel in Crested Butte, Colorado - taken with a Winchester 95 in 30-40 Krag - an old "slabsides yet. Was shot on Kebler Pass. I have to settle for this one given to me by my wife for our 25th anniver...

Dunno how this got double posted - first time I posted it - it just froze up and gave no clue what was going on - sorry

In my opinion, there are a lot of good guns around - my BL22 digests everything I have fed it since I bought it in 1968 (dealer friend sold it to me for $115 - the same day he sold me a new Winchester 94 Buffalo Bill 30-30 Commemorative rifle for - would you believe $90!!) - HPs, even longs and shor...

This bolt action single shot did it for me in 1933 -

But, now I prefer this Browning BL22 -

OJ

Yours and his look pretty similar, hope they`er worth a bunch. 8) Thanks again :) They probably are worth a bunch - but - like my guns - are worth more to me than any market value - might be a factor for my estate - though my wife is my sole heir and she's the one who gave me many of them - like my...

Thanks everyone, OJ my buddy is heading to find a new Western horseman mag and is he excited. 8) :D I checked again and they are silver inlaid - though the silver doesn't stand out as it does on the spurs shown here. The writer bought them in Casper, Wyoming, and they were made by someone he claime...

OJ

They look very much like Mexican silver inlaid spurs to me. A friend of my dad brought me a pair that look similar in the 1930s - considered extra fancy since both outside and inside surfaces are silver inlaid - Mexican labor and silver were really dirt cheap in those depression years - though, by s...

I can pinpoint the exact second and place I got some 20 decibels hearing loss and tinnitus with it - at the Naval Air Station in Denver in 1951 - However - it's not a real problem - hearing loss in a frequency that's no problem and tinnitus no real problem - and - Oh yeah, the incident occurred when...

There is a parallel underground healthcare industry in America that has almost NONE of the problems we're talking about here. It's called veterinary medicine. It's cash and carry at my vet. And there is lots of competition and choices both in price points and care quality. And no stinking dotguv bu...

GOOD: A Saskatchewan police officer had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem.- a 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD'. The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a s...

A group of 15-year old boys discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Dairy Queen next to the Ocean View restaurant because they only had $6.00 among them and Jennie Johnson, that cute girl in Social Studies, lives on that street and they might see her and th...

From about 1933 - we didn't have TV or video games - but we weren't without good shooting http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/kmastf/RIFLES/Jackatage6WhitmanNE.jpg a couple of years later- and fishing - spent winter evenings tying flies for summer fishing http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/kmastf...

I have a series 70 and had a series 80 both in 45 acp. I have had other makes of the 1911. Both Series 70 and 80 colts are semi collectors items now and rather pricey, at least in this part of the world. I can honestly say that there was nothing magic about either one. After extensive gun smithing ...

OJ Thanks for posting the cool pictures, my Boy enjoyed the motorcycle. I offer too, my deepest thanks for your service. Thanks for those kind words - truth be known, in the long run, I think I benefited most from my service days - Hope I can be excused one more OT time - my wife grew up in Cripple...

Hope I can be excused for this being a little OT but, having mentioned the ice sculptures in Cripple Creek (my wife's home town where she grew up) - this year to honor our military - thought some here might enjoy seeing a couple http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/kmastf/CC%20ICE%20SCULPURES/CCICE2...

When I mounted Williams FP94/36 rear apertures on my 94s, I did have to install a taller front sight - no problem since I like the XS white stripe front sight better - have a little age related macular degeneration in right eye and the white stripe is easier to see. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/...

We have friends who adopted a GAP (Greyhounds As Pets)
- it lives with two Labs and is a sweetheart - I admit to being dubious in the beginning - thinking the way they started life, they would never relate to people. I was 100% wrong.

Good news!! Ice sculptures in Cripple Creek - military theme - great. Weather here great today - shot both Colts and - THE BROWN BUSHING IS THE CURE - In fact, if anything, shot groups a tad smaller - but I really think that's a reflection on my shooting so- problem solved.

...The Series 70 was so popular that Colt started producing them again - minus collet bushing and with a solid one - could be called "pre-series 70s" - but, the Series 70 name was popular. I have one of each - top one made in 1970 - still using the collet bushing - I've owned it some eigh...

OJ

The Colt Series 70 introduced the collet bushing in 1970 - some of which broke and the replacements broke - but many (mine included) just kept working - I suspect breakage was bushing-slide poor fit problem. That was replaced in the Series 80 - when lawyers convinced Colt to put a firing pin safety ...

Old Time Hunter said it well. :D The only thing I can add is cost reflects age/model #--condition for condition. In other words the 1888 bring less than an 1873 and are usually better shooters as they were built better from better steel, closer tolerences and better sights.------------Sixgun Yep - ...
