Without the Bots it would be harder for folks to find this forum.

jack matingly was IMo as good a man as anyone could want to meet, and one of the most gun savvy folks I've ever met. I'm truly sorry that I'd loast contact with him several years ago. Even so, Jack and Joe were often in my thoughts. If you Texas boys hear thunder, y'all can bet that it is Jack and J...

I've just returned from putting my Mom in the Hospita;. She had knee surgery three weeks ago and was making good progress on her recovery. Then this afternoon she started having serious pain in the calf of her leg. I took her to the ER and her doctor stuck her in the hospital. His opinion is that it...

Done!

Byron, You and your family have my deepest sympathies. Your Dad is at rest now, and I hope it gives you some comfort knowing that he went surrounded by the people he loved and who loved him. I can't think of a better way to go. My Dad passed away in similar circumstances 8 years ago this month. God ...

Do you cok those pigeons or just leave them for the foxes?

I could use a good pigeon pie recipe, or any other game recipe.
Nudge, nudge, whink, HINT, HINT, HINT!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Joyce!

But that ain't no birthday suit!

What the heck! hobie'd just nuke the photo anyway

Doc Hudson

No disrepect intended, but the holiday is Independence Day, not 4th of July. So happy Independence Day y'all! Down here we also remember Gettysburg and Vicksburg on July 4. Thank you for saving me the trouble of making that point. "4th of July" celebrations rather than Independence Day Ce...

John, You really don't have to worry until you start thinking and talking about selling your truck and replacing them with a team of mules and a wagon. At that point, you in a heap o' trouble boy! Don't sweat it until then! most of us have an appreciation of the open spaces, and the finer products o...

All i can say is high derned time!

.45 ACP and Colt Stainless Officers' ACP

Doc Hudson

Neat trick! now if you can get good enough to do that on purpose, we might get you on "America's Got Talent" next year. :D Throwing knives, hawks ans spears can be fun, entertaining and good hand-eye training. But truth is, I've never much cottoned to the idea of throwing a weapon to an en...

Yet another reason to stick with my S&W M-640!!

I'm no cleaning expert, but I'd suggest you stay away from the vinegar, it is an acid.

Why not try a using Chlorox in place of the vinegar. Start very weak and strengthen the solution until you get the desired results.

Doc Hudson

i didn't much like the movie myself. Maybe I ought to watch it again. Then again, I'm not a tremendous Eastwood fan. I thought Eastwood and Freeman had been bounty-hunters together, not outlaws. A for the .30-30 comment, I'm reasonably ceertain it was an error. However, Ballard did produce a .30-30 ...

I had to check to make sure this wasn't BlaineG post.

What a groaner! LOL

Doc Hudson

looks like you passed the test with flying colors!

i wish I had fenceposts like that. All that sprout from my fenceposts is rust or honeysuckle. I'd pay a pretty penny for fenceposts that sprout Winchesters.

Doc Hudson

Go ahead and blame me then! If you didn't buy the rifle for an investment, use the bloody thing! If you bought a recently made M-1895, your grandkids might make a fortune on it, if the Yankee government don't seize it first, but you probably won't live long enough to make a significant profit. IMO t...

Hunting draws ? I typically use Fruit of the Looms in a boxer-brief or some Under Armour cold gear under-draws if its really cold. Top layer is usually some Carhartts or some old BDU's (but never in brown or gray) pretty basic draws, 'cept for the Under armor's , but they work well enough to justif...

Doc Hudson

have you tried the Swiss Blackpowder in FFg or FFFg granulation?

I'm told that it produces less fouling than any other brand of blackpowder. And on top of that, it smells right!

Just remember, that smokeless stuff is just a passing fad

Doc Hudson

I did it I finally shot the big one lol. Went shooting this morn before it got too hot. I pulled up to the ranch at the same time as a other shooter did, we know each other as we bow and musket hunt on that ranch. Both of us thinking the same thing get out early site some new loads in.That's when h...

Was contemplating rounding out my WBY collection a little with a .257, but going up too much above the .300 takes an insanely strong shoulder :D In the FWIW Department, the .257 WBY mag is the only Weatherby cartridge that piques my interest. That is one flat shooting, hard-hitting little number. F...

I've never ived or hunted in a state with a lottery system of hunting licenses. In Alabama and misssissippi, you walk into a sporting goods store lay down your money and walk out with a license entitling you to hunt any game animal in the state, with handgun, long gun, bow or muzzle-loader and to fi...

Doc Hudson

:shock: Good on ya, but I'm not sure I would want to shoot that beast in a light rifle. Maxed out 45-70s in my Guide Gun are not even much fun anymore....I guess I've turned into a Recoil Wuss :oops: Blaine, In my experience, a 405 grain cast bullet at 2050 fps in a 6.75 pound rifle will make a bra...

Doc Hudson

A right handsome little carbine!

If it were a .54 rather than a .50 I'd be coveting it greatly!

Doc Hudson

Y'all both did good!!!!

I was talking to a friend in Colorado Springs about this very subject just last week. Cay tells me that the 7 mm Remmag seems to be the cartridge of choice among Colorado hunters of his acquaintance. He mentioned that on his last elk hunt there were seven hunters in the camp and five were using 7mm ...

IIRC, there are two or three outstanding articles here at LeverGuns.Com by HarryO on his adventure getting an old .41 LC revolver back into action and the fun of reloading for it.

We really owe a vote of thanks to Crazy Horse, Gall, Rain-in-th-Face, Sitting Bull and all those other valiant Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe leaders of the Batttle on the Greasy Grass. Quite possibly they saved uf from having to remember the failures of the Administration of President Custer. The sa...

Doc Hudson

Congratulations to you both!

May this mark the half way point of a long and happy marriage!

Doc Hudson

That is a great story!

Happy Birthday youngster!

Don't worry, you'll ne an old fanny burp soon enough!

Doc Hudson

That is almost enough to make me reconsider flatguns, again.

However I do really hate chasing brass flung from a flatgun!

Joyce, You have a good summer too. And when taking train pics if you run across a steam loco get lots of pics of that. I couldn't care less about diesels but I get all wistful about steamers.

By the way, why would air crewmen find a need to carry a cocked and unlocked pistol in a bomber??? 'Tweren't Bomber Pilots. It was a bunch of Air Transport pilots flying C-47's and Constellations.

Studio photo. Funny, that cocked pistol reminds me of an old, silent movie I think, where the leading actor actually had a Colt cocked in his holster for the scene. That made him quicker on the draw than the bad guy. Really corny to watch. I wish I could remember the title. Don't you remember the s...

Doc Hudson

The belt might have cartridge loops, but Griff is right, that hogleg is an M-1851 Navy.

Lots of folks only loaded five chambers of their cap-and-bally sixguns. I'd not be surprised if there were an empty chamber under that hammer.

Doc Hudson

The problem with using a .22 centerfire for a deer gun is that it takes a real rifleman for it to be effective and humane. I won't even discuss the .22 WMR, if you want to use an illegal weapon that is your choice. In any event, i believe it would be better for him to use a more suitable deer cartri...

The Highland Charge was supposedly the most effective infantry attack of it's day. But when they finally faced Stinkin' Billie's well trained, bayonet equipped infantry at Culloden, their pistols, shields and broadswords just couldn't carry the day. (BTW, in it's classic form, the Highland Charge op...

another thing that stirs the blood, in fiction anyway, is the cavalry charge. A derned sight more stirring than effective against infantry armed with firearms. i don't think a British Infantry Square was ever broken by a cavalry chare, or at the very worst it was a rare occurance. Remember 'The Tin...

On the mid-day weather report, the Weather Prophet stated that today is the 21st day in a row with temperatures 90*F or higher, and the 16th day in a row of temperatures over 95*F.

I'd have to dig out my reloading journal to be 100% certain, but IIRC, I used 34.0 grains AA2520 with 125 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets in an old Marlin I used to have. Due to the points, I only loaded two cartridges, one in the chamber and one in the magazine.
