Thank you all for the Birthday wishes!

I would have responded Thursday, but I headed out before first light on a hunting trip!
Ended up with a nice tom turkey and a load of oak firewood before it was all said-n-done.

Good day to ya all again. FYI, A-zone is one of the condor zones, non-lead bullets required. Not much enforcement though. Only part of the coastal A-zone is Lead-free, part of the southern half. The condor zone starts around Santa Clara county and extends south. Where we hunt, Napa and Solano counti...

Thank you all for the kind words. "Most excellent, that partition has serious jacket thickness!" Yes, those noslers are pile-drivers. This is the first of these I have ever recovered from my 45-70. Usually all pass throughs. Must be why he dropped where he stood. "I imagine you were w...

Sorry Perry, I mis-spoke, yours is the third variation (made from 1910 to 1926).

This webpage has a lot of information about your pistol, including a downloadable PDF of the owners manual.

Good evening to ya all, Perry, by the information I have, #272715 was produced in 1918, a year before mine (its around the #318XXX). There were 4 varations, your is the second. The real "hotdog" model was the military version, they can sell for well over $1000.00 in the right condition. As...

Good afternoon to you all, Nice find Perry!! I inhereted one about 12 years ago from my Father in law. (He took it in trade for a water pump job on a 37 Plymouth, in 1946.)

Good day to you El Chivo; The bullet entered through a little shoulder meat, back of the main bone, went between two ribs on the near side, and took out about a one inch section of a rib on the far side (popped both lungs, of course). The exit wound in the hide was about the size of your thumb, and ...

Thank you all for the kind words! Let me see if I can answer all the questions at one time: I am really proud of the little rifle. It's a Puma 357 I picked up from a good friend who had to part with it; and YES is does have a BIG LOOP! I fit a ramline stock to it, a raised cheek piece and a little d...

Good evening to ya Slimster, Thank you for the kind words, and the welcome.

Good afternoon Lobo and all the rest, for my "old guy" eyes, I chose a more convertional, non-conformist approach. A few years ago I tried a quality Red Dot on my 45-70 levergun. Worked like a dream! I oppted for a small MOA red dot (3 or less) for the longer shots. Well- below is my lates...
