. When we lived in Northeastern California in the early 80's, my wife and I along with our teenage son were gone to an IHMSA shoot almost every weekend, both in Cali and in Northern Nevada. I still have my Contender but sold my 30-30 barrel years ago. Still have the 7tcu and .22 barrels , I moved to...

Regarding the gain of weight after quitting, my doctor told me long ago that I could gain a hundred pounds before I would damage my body as much as smoking a pack a day.

Been quit for 34 years now, dont miss it a bit, cant stand being downwind of a smoker.

This. Takes about 45 seconds to change out. Common occurance with these rifles.

Yeah, glad I got this one when I did, price for one now is about 3 times what I paid . Crazy, just crazy.

I shoot Oregon Trail's Lasercast bullets in my 32-20 Marlin, 115 grain flat nose works great on metallic silhouette animals. Ran out a few days ago and was worried about supply but went to their website and was able to order up a thousand, which will last me a while. With shipping, a little over 10 ...

After being in the house for two weeks with the crud, I finally managed to stagger out to my club's weekly levergun silhouette match this morning. Shot my Rossi .357 again, it has a fine trigger and super smooth action , I really like shooting it, the 24" barrel makes is easier to hold. Wind ou...

Look at the top of the receiver on the inside. There should be a flat narrow leaf type spring that is the cartridge guide in the inside top. A single screw through the top holds it in place, and they occasionally break over many years. If it has broken it's likely the culprit. Easy to fix, and easy...

Dixie Gun Works? Maybe.

See if you can find a Civil War reenactment group or forum, they are sticklers for authentic and might be able to find you drawings and specs so you can get one made, or maybe just buy one from a supplier.

Imagine (though quite a few here don’t have to) returning from Southeast Asia and being told you’re too young to buy a drink or .22’s.

That aint even half of it.

These have been in the back of my locker for maybe 40 years, cant remember what I paid, probably around 7 bucks or so.

We lived in Sacramento and Susanville for 11 years as a result of military service, this was back in the 1970's. California was a wonderful place then, sorry to see the socialists have reduced it to a third world country. k

Never worked on Mexican cops either, 3 other very young and green airmen and myself spent 2 days and 2 nights as a guest of the mayor of Juarez, we got to having too much fun in a cantina and got hauled off. Not one of life's shiniest moments.

I was faced with the same problem, my Dad died in 1960 and my Mom in 1998. She was cremated and the urn was buried in the same space as my Dad, cemetery boss had no problem with it at all. Go check with them.

When I was shooting IHMSA, I shot thousands of rounds of .44 Mag through a Ruger revolver, experimented with different powders and found Blue Dot to be the most accurate while delivering plenty of "oomph" to knock down the Rams. I use it today in my 44-40 for Pistol Caliber Lever Action si...
