The High-Standard Sentinel can often be found at a reasonable price. It was a well made nine shot, swing-out cylinder, double action. It can be found in any number of barrel lengths and grip shapes, including plow-handle and birds-head. From what I have read, it was designed by the man who later des...

My 870 is a full foot longer than my '94.
I manage to carry it through some pretty thick brush and swing on flying targets.
A long barrel is less of a handy-cap than popularly imagined.

If you just need bi-focals, the lined type let you use all of the lens. If you need tri-focals, progressives are the way to go, for the same reason. For shooting, the trick is to get small, round lenses. Big lenses won't let you get your eye low enough or close enough to the stock to get the best si...

Winchester Silver Tips were one of the first "premium" bullets.
They were responsible for the reputation of the .303 Savage as a bear and moose killer.

According to Frank de Haas in his book "Bolt Action Rifles", Most Norwegian Krags were made years after U.S. Krags and of better steel and are entirely adequate for standard 6.5x55 factory loads.

Older houses were built with a "T" sill. The studs, 10, 12 or more feet long, sat on the mudd sill and the floor joists set in between them. The house was a solidly braced box which could picked up and moved more easily than today's box sills and slab houses. Also there was no plumbing or ...

Of all of the long military rifles, the '91 Mauser is the sleekest, best balanced and sweetest handling. It feels like a fine Kentucky long rifle in your hands. It also has the prettiest bayonet. It is chambered for Mauser's first smokeless cartridge which is also one of the earliest, if not the fir...

According to my 1984 catalog #125, No, 79 holster was metal reinforced, leather lined, with hammer and leg thongs. No. 79 belt was 2 1/2" wide, contour cut, leather lined with 25 cartridge loops. 602 indicates it was for a 10 1/2" barrel Blackhawk.
