If you ship via Postal Service, always use Registered Mail for shipping high-value merchandise of any type: it stays locked up at all times during transit and is signed for every time the package changes hands. The peace of mind is worth the slight increase in shipping cost--which might still be che...

Dave Stamey is probably not widely known outside of western music circles, but he darn sure should be. The guy is an incredible performer, and is probably tied with Don Edwards as my favorite western music artist. http://www.davestamey.com/ You can hear excerpts from some of his songs on his website...

1. Buy it!
2. More or less!
3. Might as well buy it now. Odds are you will end up with one of each if you hang around here very long.

WCF3030: I received your private message, but I wasn't able to respond: the board said you had 'private message receipt disabled', or something similar. I do appreciate the courtesy of the advance notice. Unfortunately, your asking price is more than what I had in mind. If at some point you reconsid...

Amen to that.

Don't overlook the need to maintain a water supply for the horse in freezing temperatures. Worst case scenario, you will have to just chop through the frozen ice periodically.

I am interested if the price is right. Keep me posted.

If you get a chance to buy one, do so. If you get a chance to buy another one, do that as well.

If the front end gets light from overloading the back, you can always steer with the brakes--just go slow. Also, with the bucket on the front end, a scoop of rock/dirt will probably cover you for extra weight on a tractor that size. I can't speak to ballasting the rear tires--I never had to do much ...

If it needs cowboys in it, pick almost anything written by J. Frank Dobie: his works were part folklore, part history, part cultural anthropology.

I have a lot of respect for game wardens; I admire the job they perfom, and I recognize the often adverse conditions in which they operate. Sure there are bad apples--you can find that in a random sampling of any group of people. I have always had positive experiences whenever I have encountered a g...

As I type this my best friend is laid up in his recliner not four feet from where I sit, patiently waiting for bed time like he does every night.

I am a EMF repeat customer for a number of years, and am acquainted with their Rossi 92s, their Uberti 73s and their Pietta SAAs. No complaints from me in any area. The folks at EMF are very courteous and responsive as well.

Estate sales always sadden me just a little: Some fella works his whole life to collect (and pay for) something he cares about. Once he dies, his family picks through everything like buzzards; take what they want, and just sell the rest.

Oh well. You can't take it with you.

Nate C.

Many thanks to all!

My in-laws came to town for the annual Christmas get-together. He brought over a couple of his Savage 99s (that have provided him many years of service hunting in the mountains in Colorado). One of them is a 284 Winchester. After he asked, we did some online research, but did not find this round rea...

Somebody beat me to the punch. I was going to say:

That may look like a .45-70, but it also looks like Alec Baldwin successfully loading/firing it, so there are no limits to Hollywood magic.

If you just interrupt the fuel supply the guy might burn up the starter trying to crank it, if he figures out how to get it to turn over. Instead, I'd consider some sort of ignition cutoff switch. You could pull the distributor cap when you leave it sitting. You could also take some heavy log chain ...

Single-action revolvers hearken to a bygone era, albeit one that popular culture has romanticized, dramatized and distorted until contemporary (say, the last hundred years) perception only vaguely resembles the reality of that time.

Besides, they just plain get the job done.

EMF Company in Santa Ana CA, offers some positively beautiful color case-hardened Piettas in EMF's Great Western line. The Californian is an 1873 clone, while the 'Pony Express' model has the old Colt Lightning style grip.

I sure don't miss having to endure that DROS foolishness!

My spouse can sure bust some clays with hers. I think it is a Stoeger Condor...too lazy to get up and go look.

For Texas residents: the 'Super Combo' hunting and fishing license with all the stamps/endorsements (except federal duck stamp, which is extra) is currently $68. The basic hunting only license is $25.

How much trouble is it in England to own a rifle like that?

Just curious.

I was wondering the same thing. For some reason, I was under the impression that all the Limey guns had been confiscated, or something similarly draconian.

I think I just found a new hobby. I have got to try this.

I enjoy eating fresh jalapenos pretty regularly, although they started giving me indigestion and I have had to cut back. I never thought of trying one with peanut butter. I can't decide if that looks appealing or not. It's definitely something different!

Nate C.

Thanks everybody. Now I think I know what needs to be done. To correct my prior statement, the Centennial and TR commemorative did have 26" bbl. I guess the .38-55 had a 24" bbl.

I recently came across a store doing a consignment sale on several Winchester 94s from a collection: A Centennial 66 .30-30 w/ 24" octagonal barrel and 'gold' receiver; ($450) A Theodore Roosevelt .30-30 commemorative w/ 24" octagonal barrel; ($450) A Legendary Frontier in .38-55 w/ 20&quo...

It is God's country, friend. Depending on where on 84 you are talking about, the terrain may vary dramatically. The further east on 84 and closer to Palestine you get, the more "Piney Woods" it is, more akin to Mississippi than parts of western Texas that many people erroneously assume are...

Any suggestions on a source of an inexpensive, no-frills, but solidly made upright rifle rack? Ideally one that sits on the floor and doesn't have to be leaned against the wall.

I'm not buying the story about the extensive wear on the stock a result of hanging out of a saddle scabbard. If that were the case, the wear would be significantly more pronounced on one side than the other. Maybe equal wear could result from bouncing around in a back-window rifle rack for a long ti...

Not sure why high prices at GM come as a surprise to anyone. It's a good place to browse and to get cutesy clothes for the missus, but that's about it.

It would work, and i currently use a .44 Mag lever gun for home defense and late night coyote medicine -- but for situations like you are describing (end of civilization scenarios) , i truly think a magazine fed rifle would be more closely tailored to that situation.

Shiner beer. There is no other for civilized guests.

At the deer lease or when otherwise camping, Lone Star or PBR will suffice.

I have got the itch. I may just have to go get it. Without knowing if it is a top-eject or an AE, what would be a fair price for it? It's in a pawnshop, and they had it priced around 450 or 475 I think.

15 seconds with some compressed air once every week or so will resolve that lint issue without having to do a full cleaning. Save the full cleaning for after firing.

I have a semi-related question for y'all. I have always been a fan of the engraved brass or silver nameplate enlaid in the stock or grip, such as was popular in the late 19th century. Last time the opportunity came up to do something like that, I couldn't find anybody to do it. Does anyone have any ...

Heck, you already have one of each. Take the 1895, then I will give you a grand for it!
