March 2nd was Texas independence day.

Prayers from East Texas. They have worked for me. Just yesterday my Oncologist said I was clear!

I bought mine and my wife's a couple of years ago, and we have enjoyed shooting them a lot. Mine says "Rail Gun" on it. It was expensive, but I like the name Colt. It's been reliable, but at the beginning I had to use CCI Mini Mags to get it broken in. Now it wil shoot the cheap stuff. It'...

I'm sure we're all on some list anyhow, so why worry about it. Just let me know when we march.

I've learned more here in the last 6 or so years, than all the gunshops and books could teach me in the last 60 years, and I'm 77. All my long guns are now lever actions, and my best handguns are single actions. I'm caught in a time warp, and I'm comfortable with it.

zack coyote

I have three of them in .45 Colt. A 16", 20", and 24" octagon. My wife has a .357 stainless in 20". Hers has Nate's ejector spring, and mag follower. My guns have all the mods from Nate's DVD. The 16" is as handy as a handgun, and is my go to gun. The 24" shoots the bes...

I feel for you boys, my wife and I clean our guns, together at the kitchen table. I also smoke in the house. At 77, I'm a throwback, and love it.

zack coyote

Gentlemen, I thank you all for your opinions. After weighing all these opinions, I will retain my AWA, and purchase a Ruger New Vaquero. The Ruger will be my go-to gun, for it's toughness, and the ability to find parts if needed. Zack

I had one 38 years ago that had two barrels, one in 30-30, and the other was 20 g shotgun. I sold it, and have been looking ever since to replace it.

zack coyote

I've decided I want a new SAA in .45 Colt, and can't decide. I have three Rossi's in that caliber in the three barrel lengths, plus an American Western Arms Peacekeeper. The Rossi's have been slicked up by me and Steve Young, and the AWA is smooth as silk from the get-go. Although I have other lever...

My wife's favorite gun is her Colt 1911, she took her ccl with it and out shot everyone else, On the other hand her carry piece is a S&W 3" model 60, with a longish grip. She shoots this pretty good also. She practices with .38 special 130 gr, solids, but when carrying the gun has .357 mag....

zack coyote

Thanks guys. I just made 76, and can't seem to grow up. After 36 years without one, last year I bought a motorcycle, a nice little 250 dualsport. I read leverguns every day, but post very little. I just sit by the fire and listen and learn. Zack

zack coyote

I just paid $23 for a pound of Unique at a gunshop here in East Texas. They had plenty of everything, but could only buy two boxes of CCI mini mag .22's.

zack coyote

I have a 2000 TJ, 4L, and 5 speed with only 160000 miles on it. It will get as high as 19mpg on a good day. Usually about 17. I don't know what the dif. ratio is. After 13 years, I have no complaints, other than the knobby tires howl, and the top flaps at highway speeds. It will go almost anywhere, ...

I believe Sprtsmans Guide has them at a reasonable price, about $40.

zack coyote

Has anyone seen one? Or were they just a figment of an ad person's imagination? I enjoy shooting my three Rossi's and was looking forward to being able to shoot .22"s. My Henry works fine, but I wanted something a little heavier.

zack coyote

The oldest gun I have is a Winchester 94 rifle in 30-30, built in 1901. I bought it in 1961, in Huntsville Alabama for $35. Crescent butt plate, with an octagon barrel. I got it cheap because the barrel had been cut to 18 1/2", and it had been reblued. The barrel is pitted, but it shoots fine. ...

zack coyote

My woods bummin' gun is usually my Rossi trapper in .45 Colt, or my AWA 4.75 in. SAA in .45 Colt, but since I bought my Ruger single six, it's my favorite woods sidearm. It carries and feel quite a lot like my AWA, and with the .22 mag cylinder it will handle anything I'll come up against around her...

I was walking out the door, going to my first cataract surgery when I heard. I told my young wife about remembering the B-25 flying into a New York skyscraper in 1945, (I believe). When the second plane hit, I said get ready for war.

Try Don Edwards for good old time cowboy songs.

I bought a new Colt 1991-A1, matte stainless steel about 8 years ago. Only one hicup, from a cheap mag. I only field strip it to clean it, and my wife uses it for her shooting classes with no problem. We do need better sights however. A little pricey, but a COLT!

zack coyote

How much power do you need? In my AWA Colt clone I use 8gr. of Unique under 250 gr. lead to get 860 fps., out of my 20" Rossi it gets just under 1100 fps. That will anchor most anything here in Texas. It's a nice fun load, and won't damage my guns.

zack coyote

Gentlemen, I'm needing some 30-30 information. I have two 30-30's, a '75 Winchester 94, and a new Marlin 336 with a scope on it. When buying factory ammo, I always buy 170 gr., but when family buys me some for birthdays and Christmas, I get 150 gr. Could you tell me the approximate difference in poi...

zack coyote

Thanks boys. I made it to 73 today. Although I haven't done many fantastic things in those years, I've raced cars, motorcycles, owned horses, sailed boats, liveded all over this great country, and now reside in a small house in the piney woods of East Texas. I've been a professional Artist since I w...

The American Indian used saddles made of wood, with stirrups, not always, but often. They learned horsemanship from the spanish that used heavy saddles. These saddles had tall cantles, and pommels (saddle horns), to help keep them in the saddles during battle. The Indians also used a war saddle, tha...

My wife and I had ten hours of classroom and shooting at an indoor range to get our CCL. We shot 100 rounds, and were scored on the results. I'm happy for you, but I like our system better, it may cut out some deadwood.

zack coyote

I was also wondering about the .22 mag, so I looked up the price of ammo on midway. It would be fun to shoot, but way to expensive for something you can't reload.

zack coyote

Gentlemen, whenever I have a gun question, I find the answer here. Years ago I asked for a good load for my .45 Colt AWA SAA, and Rossi carbines, and the answer was 8 or 9 grains of Unique. I loaded 8 grains and have enjoyed shooting both. With 8 grains under 250 gr lead, I get 860 fps from the revo...

zack coyote

I think my animal companion better be Mule to carry all that stuff.

zack coyote

I think my 94 Winny in 30-30 and my .22 Colt scout, plus a bag of spare parts would do just fine. Easy to carry, easy to fix. Not to much ammo needed if I could get into town every once in a while. One large Bowie, a smallish knife, plus a multi tool. I'll keep my black lab by my side. He's no hunte...

zack coyote

The horses have been gone five years now, but we won't sell our custom made saddles. The third picture on the video is one of a series of firearm paintings I did. Don't ever sell your saddle, or your last levergun.

They look like an acting troup to me.

My wife carries a S&W model 60, 3", in her purse or pocket, everywhere she goes. I carry a Taurus 605, 3", ( a close copy of the model 60) in my pocket where ever I go. I spend my life in jeans, and the gun is completely hidden. Both are loaded with .357 Mag. 125 gr. hollowpoints. We p...

I'll bet he carries his lunch to work, instead of going out, to make the payments.

Rossi trapper, in .45 Colt goes with when I walk the woods around my house almost every day. We have plenty of Hog sign, but my Lab, who acts like an unruly child, keeps me from connecting. The gun is almost as handy as a handgun.

zack coyote

The trouble with the Rossi Carbines, is that you can't hardly find a used on, nobody wants to give them up. I've got a Trapper in .45 Colt, a 20" Carbine in .45 Colt, and a 20" Carbine in .357 mag, and won't part with any of them. Self defense, close in hunting, or just plinking, they're g...

zack coyote

Welcome! Watcha got in your scabbard?

zack coyote

Easy, Colt SAA, .45 Colt, Winchester 94, .30WCF. Both known worldwide. The '92 is a good choice, but most bandits, and warlords would out gun you with that gun.

zack coyote

Once again I must ask you gentelmen for some reloading advice. As you know primers are hard to find, but I want to load up a few hundred .38 Special rounds for my wife and I to practice with. I have 1000 small pistol magnum primers on hand and was wondering if these would be fine to use in the .38 s...

zack coyote

Thanks for sharing the info. I think it gives some of us .45 Colt lovers something to think about. What ever happened to 45 Stomp?

zack coyote

I bought both in '61 in Huntsville Alabama. Wincheaster 94, 30WCF rifle with an octagon barrel cut to 18".My son now owns it. The single action was a Saur .22lr, traded it for a Ruger single six with both cylinders. Sold it to buy an old Colt DA, in .38 special.

zack coyote

I'd like to own a Marlin 1895 Cowboy with a 20" barrel. All the power I'll ever need, and handy!

zack coyote

My wife has had her carry license for about four years now. She took the course with her Colt 1911, but carries a S&W model 60, for ease of use. She walks with confidence where ever she goes. We can't convince her twin sister to do the same, even though she works all hours in Fort Worth.

zack coyote

My first high powerd rifle was an 1861 Springfield, .58 caliber. I bought on my first trip to Texas in 1959. Found it behind a door in a little antique shop. Can you believe $25. It was all painted black, and I didn't even know what it was. 70 grains of 2f for about 1000 fps. I shot it for a couple ...

zack coyote

I'm using the 405's, cause I've got 100 of them sitting on the shelf.

zack coyote

Very nice wood on that gun. Do the newer Rossi's all have good looking stocks? My three Rossi's are all Interarms, and could use some cosmetics.

zack coyote

8 gr. of Unique behind a 250 gr. cast bullet got me 1083 fps. out of my 20" Rossi Carbine. I expected a little more, but it will do.

zack coyote

Gentelmen, I will be reloading 45-70 for the first time, and I would like a good accurate, hunting load using IMR3031, and 405 gr. Remington soft point bullets. I will be using this to hunt with this year, and don't expect to have shots much over 100yds. I have never loaded anything this size before...

zack coyote

Looks real good. Send a picture to Marlin, if they made one I'd buy it. How's the muzzle blast?
