You have every right to Brag and BRAG LOUD. Good for him. If it's worth anything, the only advice I give to someone going into the Military whether it be an Academy, ROTC, or Boot Camp is; "Do what they tell you to do when they tell you to do it" and everything will turn out to the good. T...

No bites out of Desarae Fred and Griff - behave yourself. Dang, if she goes to lunch with you guys, it'll put a whole new meaning to the term "Luck Dog".

Burger King is not bad at all. Didn't know they had an In and Out in Lancaster.

The Wendy's Hamburger Joint burned down in Lancaster, CA last night (15 May 2012). Where will Old Savage eat and most importantly, where will he pick up his ladies.

Saw it on the news last night Fred and immediately thought of you.

He'll just have to take solace in his many lever guns.

If that sign was posted in California it would probably have to also be written in Cambodian, Chinese, Eritrean, Ethiopian, Oromo, Somali, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Vietnamese, and maybe a hundred different languages or it would violate some poor illegal alien deer's r...

A word of caution about "swamp coolers". They depend on wet pads and a motored fan to draw air through them in order to cool the air. They are fine for a dry climate but not so good in a humid climate. They put a lot of moisture in the air and you will feel damp all the time. An airconditi...

Grin and bear it Terry. Hope all goes well.

There's an old saying; "it is what it is". I think that's it. I'm an old fanny burp (68) and can't remember exactly. Fred and Griff will set me straight if I'm wrong. Anyway, Terry Murbach is what he is. People have been crabbing about him for years but he just plugs along dishing out his ...

Sorry to hear that Bill. Prayers up for your Dad.

OI - Have you tried the local police departments/sherrifs/jails to see if there is a "jailer" position open? Just a thought.

Well now ain't that just a bit discriminatory? I got tinnitus from being around loud equipment, but am not a veteran. I can't get diddly squat from Uncle Sugar for it. Or ex-employers, or the state or anybody. Geez I can't even get a kiss from my wife when it gives me a screaming headache. No fair....

Sad news indeed.

Thanks Fred. I did enjoy that. The detail in the owl's face is simply amazing.

I notice that the owl had leather tethers attached to it's legs. I'm thinking that the cat and owl were raised together.

Great video!!

I haven't read every post in this thread and in case he's been mentioned, here's another word for him. "Sam Fadala" was/has been/is a very good gun writer for many many years. He is a great proponent for the .30-30 Cartridge and in fact lives/lived in Arizona and hunted game of all sorts t...

Nice looking gun and grips. Thanks for the lead on the grips. I'm going to look into getting a pair for my S&W Model 10 Heavy Barrel.

Modoc ED

O.S.O.K. -- How about some more pictrues of the holster (rear, side, top, etc.) and how about some pictures of the gun itself. Is it a Heavy Barrel? What grips are those and where'd you get them?

Great looking rig by the way.

Modoc ED

Have a good trip Steve. Stay alert and keep your wife close at hand.

Modoc ED

Safe trip. Hope all goes well.

I've lost a few good frineds along the way and the feelings we have for them are near impossible to put in words.

My condolences on your loss.

I hate to admit it but I haven't fired one of my handguns in over a year. I always have a Derringer in .22LR in my fishing tackle box and I carry a .38 S&W Special either physically on me or in my truck. It is a Taurus 85CH snub-nose. Also, in .38 S&W Special I have a S&W Model 10HB and ...

Great to hear. Glad to hear the two of you are getting out for some recreation instead of doctor's visits.

Hey Mike D. Check out where that wolf is (red dot). He is about 15-miles West of U.S. 395 and is approaching Madelline,CA and Moon Lake (the first lake on the right as you look at the map). If he reaches there he will be about 40-miles South of Alturas. Then all he has to do is make a run up by West...

If he does Mike, he'll end up with a copper taste in his mouth.

All the reports I've heard about "OR7" is that he's travelling alone. I think that's hogwash. I'd bet he has two or more other wolves traveling with him. Not every wolf has a tracking collar. Anyway, I've got a really nice shotgun with a rifled barrel and with sabot slugs (Remington Copper...

It appears that many guys have their reloading area along with all their presses, dies, ammo, powder, etc. in the basement of their homes. Anyone ever consider that one day their basement might spring a leak and flood with water? I see it happen to houses that have been bone-dry for years (since con...

Great gun.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Welcome back and Hemet would be a good choice. Hemet is just a "hop-skip-and-a-jump" from I-10 and then just a short distance to The CA/AZ border. Much better gun laws in AZ and sometimes, much better shooting opportunities.

Modoc ED

Mike -- You're familiar with my area of CA (Alturas). Proceed about 40-miles North up U.S. 395 to the town of New Pine Creek (the CA/OR border splits the town), take a right just as you go into town (U.S. Forest Service Road #2) and go up to Lilly and Cave Lakes. Wolf sightings have been reported th...

I don't believe they are illigal in MA. It's just that Sportsman's Guide will not ship anything even remotely controversial to MA. They won't even ship knives to MA. Yeah, I was just sort of kidding, building on my earlier post about the .22 LR 'Puma' 1911 that BudsGunShop.com said was 'not legal' ...

Here's my set-up.

The single-stage press is pretty slow so if I need more than a 100-rounds at a time or more, I'll load 50 a day until I've got what I need.

It'd be worth between $300.00 to $500.00 here in my area depending on condition. I sold one made in 1953 last year for $400.00 which matched the example you describe and the picture shown.

Nothing gets the attention of an intruder like the sound of shotgun chambering a round! .............................................

No, not a failing at all.

The wife and I were both with the last two dogs (family members) we lost. We both cried. Not ashamed about it at all and it was certainly not a failing. Both of those dogs are buried right on our property as are other animals we have lost.
