I guess "lacerated and treated" is right up there with "BATFE finds firearms at gunshop". LOL Once upon a time a nearly NEW McCormic 1911 mag did a high speed ejection of it's floor plate, spring and follower. The welds all let loose. Of course, the 1911 unloaded itself and the s...

A couple of nights ago in Edmond Ok... A local indoor range had to make a 911 call for a patron. Seems he had a open box of ammo (out of the cardboard, still in the tray) on the booth's bench. While shooting his magazine either fell or was ejected and landed on one of the cartridges on the bench, de...

]attachment=0]colt 1911.jpg[/attachment] Stock, early 90's, Colt. Complete with plastic trigger and mainspring housing. It took about 500 rounds to break this one in... I did swap the factory rubber wrap around grips for some thin Houges... I grip the pistol correctly with thinner grips. This one wi...

Steve... dont feel bad about the long range shots... hitting a oil barrel at 300 is a 2 for 10 endevor if the wind is up at all for me. With my eyes, it just takes a few more "ranging shots" than my kids need. I am glad your pistol slicked up with use. You probably know this... but it's pr...

I've watched that show a few times myself... The players run into some savvy old codgers too... who don't want to trade at all. Mark up?... that's the way it works. A picker is just the 'middle man' or jobber. A lot of the junk collectors we see are "producers' and the Dealers are 'retailers'. ...

Hillbilly

Just like mine... order some extra screws... Ubertis tend to have soft heads.

Hillbilly

my heart belongs to the SAA Colt... but my head will take a K frame SW everytime.

I don't "hunt" with handguns (but one tags along out in the pasture)... a K frame in 357M seems to fill the happy average for me.

That shirt tail thing goes back to the early days of aviation. On the average most private pilots solo around 10 hours of training or so. The instructor just sort of springs it on you..(I really figured I'd never solo... training slump around 8 hours)... but one day he asks you to land... he gets ou...

I do electrical work... qualified as a inside electrician and a power line linehand. Blessed or just lucky... early on when the construction game went bust (late 70's early 80's) I caught on with and electric power company... full time-no rain outs... I left for a "right sizing" in the mid...

Joe... I have watched Cook and Lake County politics for years... safely insulated from the fray by a good 90 miles of cold, fresh water. For several years... about 100 miles of Kentucky served as a very good barrier for me also. Today? About 500 miles of Oklahoma in series with Missouri seems a bit ...

Hillbilly

Joe... over at "carry.org" they explained the "loop hole" that gets you Illinois folks "6 seconds from Danger"... From what I read you can keep an unloaded gun in a purse or fanny pack... and load it up if you get in a bind. All thats needed is a good "FOID" c...

sounds like you got a pretty heavy load... if you let Him carry you a awile there will only be one set of tracks...

God bless you and your house.

Well ...stopped by the SO on the way in this afternoon... My card was here. OSBI issued on the 19th and it beat the notification letter. Now.. I can travel in 30 odd states, heeled. I guess when Illinois gets it's collective head out it's collective butt one day I can travel across there without bag...

Hillbilly

$5... in case you best me and I git kilt..........

I carried a dollar bill in my SAA... for a long time. Just a little charring after a lot of shots fired. If you live "off the wagon" I guess having a hidey hole for certain things like cash can be a premium.

If grandma looked that good after 3 hours at the hairdressers... granpa would probably invest in "blue pills" and take his blood pressure meds........ Ms Welch did a made for TV movie about 15 years ago... she washes up on an island or some drivel. That would have made her late 50's then.....

Hillbilly

I did a double take too, Joe...that's a Texan with the straight grip an skinny wood.

Mine is a late 60's version... will dig up a picture

Hillbilly

Crazy talk....hunt a bear with the 30 WCF or 35 Remington?

Why today-no responsible gun rag editor would let that ad copy stink up their magazine!

Hillbilly

Been playing with those 130 grain FMJ's... that's all I can get.........and many of the new "defensive" cartridges are coming in around 125 grains.

What say ye? What's the latest "best" defensive cartridges for the short 38 Special.

(most of my 158 RNL has turned green

)

Thanks for all the prayers for Cindy and the rest of that Crew... plus the families. I have seen some photos of the debris feild and read a few eyewitness acounts. I have done some accident investigation work (not for the NTSB ....just power company stuff) and I don't thing they ever knew what hit t...

Pathfinder... I savvy the close quarters angle. For most of us the "bubble" starts at 25 feet. If I get into powder burn range - well I missed something and screwed the pooch or the gremlin is talented. Leaving the area or just avoiding it if I can is always the "A" choice. This ...

who says snub nosed revolvers wont hit the broad side of the barn? This is the early 70's 60 I picked up a few weeks ago. Ammo: Wally World Remington 130grain FMJ Distance: about 10 paces I am willing to write the "flyers" off to the skinny grips. Houge grips usually tighten things up for ...

Back when I was messing with airplanes ... we had a guy leave the West Palm Florida area on a VFR (map, compass, and look-out the window navigation) fight up the east coast. He was headed into North Georgia or The Lower Carolinas. Flying a costal route he should have had an Ocean in his right window...

Cindy Parker was part of the air crew on the Med chopper that crashed in West Tn today. All three crew were killed... they were inbound to the station after dropping a patient of at a hospital.

My Great Grandmother lived in a soddy out in Western Minnestota when she was a girl... about 1903-1906 or so. Sod houses are great if you have no or very little native standing lumber near. A few sod houses were build in Northern Oklahoma (there is still one standing in a park out by Watonga OK). On...

The frost -economy of labor thing is probably why this cabin was "dug in" A few years ago a museum currator what explaining log cabins to us. She figure that a log cabin was the "house trailer" of the era. You put one up with the idea that a board house would come later. Maybe th...

I am glad you cleared that jam up too.

Just remember... vigor, stroke the lever with vigor.

I'd suspect most "poor" lever action's jamb ups come from folks who dont operate the lever with vigor.

(I was really trying to get some point across about "vigor" here)

Good luck

After I killed a skunk with the 30 WCF a couple of weeks ago I can pass along this advise... You probably did not use "enough gun". If the editors at "Guns and Ammo" get ahold of the idea possums die from Jframe delivered wounds no telling what they may write about next..... My f...

Memory is fogged up... but didnt the Army regs call for sentry and rear area folks to load 5 in their 1911s? We see lots of press about spring fatuige... but many mag faliure are feed lip related. It makes sense that the lips could be deformed from "inside" the mag with all that upward pre...

Hillbilly

A true "mechanical expert" will tell you that "loading" and "unloading" a spring is what wears a spring out. Lot's of the kids in the tactical crowd tell me that we could leave a mag loaded "forever" and do no harm to it. Being a certifiable "old fanny bu...

Still waiting ....popcorn, anyone? Ok has some open carry legislation working through the State house this term ... kind of waiting to see how that works out.

I just could never muster that level of commitment to art.

After all... my calendar has a picture for every month...........

pretty much what the other have offered. I shoot behind with a SxS and tend to sight from the edge of the barrel....gets me in trouble all the time. i dont seem to have the same troubles with a O/U.

if i remember to shoot off the bead.. things work a lot better.

Just past 30 days...tick tock tick tock. I did buy a gun that required a FFl transfer... they tell me that most of the OSBI check data comes from the same Federal data base. I take that as a good sign. From what I am told bad finger prints are the major malfunction in OK... some SO's in the state ju...

Doc... dont feel to bad about the mix-up. Now you know why I keep 7, 30-30's, a couple of 45 ACPs, some 38 specials and a few .22s. With bi focals I cant tell some of them apart either..

Finger out of the trigger guard... business end pointed in a safe direction Open the lever. if the first one is in the chamber let it flip out.

I was thinking a High Standard or Woodsman... but the grips did not make sense... I did not know about extendted grips on those Colts until Terry mentioned it.

Based on the results of my last encounter, I can wholeheartedly endorse the 170 grain .30 WCF as a skunk stopper.
