Not nearly as poetic, but there is a great deal of satisfaction knowing that my family is without me so that you can be safe with yours.

Mitch1352

A P-08 Luger that was 98%, a 3" Smith Model 66 and a High Standard Victor. All fairly plain but I kinda wish I had kept them.

Mitch1352

I have 2 both in .44Mag) and if I had 10 more, it wouldn't be enough. I would like a .357 to go with a sixgun Dave Clements did for my son, but Steven said that he would just as soon get one of my Bowen guns in .44 to go with one of my B-92's. Jump on it quick because you will really like it.

Mitch1352

COSteve, you bitch to your heart's content. You have earned it. Besides, it's like somebody said: you are among family here. My military service was during the Reagan years, so while I didn't get marching bands, I wasn't spit on either. I'm a cop and I remember getting a fight call at a theatre when...

My in-laws were getting packed up to move and found in a hidden drawer of his father's rolltop desk a P-38. Apparantly, his uncle drove a tank in WW2 and liberated the gun in Germany somewhere. He scratched his name and "Sept '44" inside the rightside grip. They live in Southern Utah, wher...

I have a Mannlicher-stocked SAKO in .308 that was made about 1980 (pre-75). I have taken several deer with it and have lusted after fullstocked rifles ever since. If you can do it, you need to buy it. They are seriously cool and very accurate. If you are looking at it and the barrel seems to have a ...

Mitch1352

I have a Forester in .308 that is a great shooting rifle. Sexy, too.

Mitch1352

I found a Redhawk that was in ok shape and sent it to Mr. Bowen for his Kodiak Alpine treatment. He returned to me a seriously neat squarebutt that, I think, actually makes the Redhawk look finished. Plus, it has a lanyard loop, so when the zombies come, I am ready. 8) I can handload for it, so anyt...

I ordered the Shiloh when he started Boy Scouts and said he wanted to go to Eagle. 7 years later, it arrived. The carbine has his initials engraved Quigley-style on the sideplate and an upgrade in the wood. 2 days before his Board of Review, I asked him if he was ready. He said that he didn't think ...

Mitch1352

Interesting idea. If I lived by myself, meaning there would be no other family member to have to know how to use the rifle, I think a Remington 870. Their reduced recoil 00 buck is great out to about 20 yards, which is as far as I will need to shoot in a home defense arena. If I was restricted to a ...

Mitch1352

I hope that he stays with it all the way to Eagle. My son got his Eagle rank this past March and it was something to see. He also happened to get his 1st levergun that night: a '74 Shiloh Sharps carbine in 45-70. The Scouting program is great for teaching boys things that are really important.

Mitch1352

That is just prehistoric!

Mitch1352

Check Doug Turnbull's website. He is the man when it comes to traditional casehardening. I have 3 USFA's that he did and they are beautiful. I think, but have nothing to support it, theat he does the casehardening for Colt. That it just a wild guess, but new Colts have the same rich hue that he does...

Mitch1352

1894cfan, you are right: the current government is not worth their blood. But the citizens of this great nation, you and me, our neighbors, friends and family are and that's why they do it. They will fight and they will die to protect a socialist in the White House and they do it without complaint. ...

Mitch1352

I have never met Mr. Taffin, but I have "spoken" with him here and on Sixguns.com (and it's offspring, Single-Actions.com). I have all of his books and love his magazine articles. I am jealous of those of you that know him personally because I think what you see is what you get, meaning he...

Mitch1352

Wow! This thread has the potential to become dangerous quite quickly!!! I have some Taffin-inspired PPP's...if I post them with one of my Browning 92's, a Marlin 94 or my Winny Trapper, will Hobie let it stay

? Does that count enough for Leverguns.com???

Mitch1352

Mr. Taffin got me hooked on the PPP quest several years ago. I have several, but the beauty isn't in the destination, it's in the journey.

Mitch1352

What did I miss?

Mitch1352

I have his book "The Brass Ring: Sort of a memoir". It is his autobiography from birth to being mustered out after WW2. Very tongue-in-cheek. An excellent read.

Mitch1352

When you say "off grid" what do you mean?

Mitch1352

If I was lost there, I think that I would work to NOT be found! That view is stunning.

Mitch1352

I have an older Sako Mannlicher in .308. The styling is soooooo sexy! You should grab that M/S before someone else does.

Mitch1352

I have done the Remington Steal on 2 870's: one I kept and one I gave to my neighbor's son as a police academy graduation present. He got the Trac Lok sights and modified choke added. The one I kept went to my son. You won't be disappointed if you go that route. Wilson Combat is great to deal with.

Mitch1352

I have 2 in .44mag and they run great right out of the box, Specials included. I shoot SASS with them and haven't found a lever that gives me such a case of the giggles as they do...not yet, anyway!

Mitch1352

Either another M1A or a Stoner SR-25. Probably the M1A cuz I love steel and walnut, but I haven't decided. Kinda had a hankering for another SSK barrel for my G2 TC. Looking at a .309JDJ. I have a 6.5 and a .375, so I can't imagine why I want another caliber...these 2 have me covered.

Mitch1352

I agree with Firefuzz. I have been on the job 24 years, with the last 11 as a sergeant, in a county PD east of Atlanta. Part of me is nervous about the lack of training that most permit holders have, since there is no requirement for training here in Georgia. I don't want to get shot, not even by ac...

Mitch1352

I have a Shiloh Number 1 in 45-70 and love it. I ordered a 74 carbine for my son as his reward for making Eagle Scout. It has upgraded wood and his initials "Quigley-style" in gold on the sideplate. It is seriously cool. The folks at Shiloh are great to deal with, too.

Mitch1352

I guess that I shouldn't have read that to my darling wife, huh?

Mitch1352

I had a K9 buddy of mine have to put down his partner in August. Tjibbe had cancer. Saw a lot of "tough" guys cry. My thoughts to you and yours.

Mitch1352

My dad passed on Easter Sunday 1992 from cancer. He and my mom divorced when I was 5...she moved to Florida with my sister and I and Dad stayed in Augusta. I moved back to Augusta with him at 13, but never really got to know him. I always thought he was pretty dumb until I had kids...he got really s...

Mitch1352

I am mostly gonna use a G2 Contender in 6.5 JDJ. My son is gonna use either a Marlin 94 or a Winchester 94, both in .44 Mag. One of the food plots we hunt over is a bit too short for a scoped bolt gun, so he is gonna try the irons. For that plot, I think I will use a Bisley Blackhawk in .44 Mag. I h...

I'm about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta and I am ready for the rain to quit. This is a great time for riding a motorcycle, but mine stays in the garage when it's raining. Also, I am working up a pistol load for hunting season (starts the 17th...finally) and trips to the range need to be dry ones. So...

Mitch1352

The Benelli is a great gun, but can be load sensitive. I have to shoot full power shotshells in mine to 100% function...no reduced recoil. However, you can't go wrong with an 870. 'Course, I am kinda prejudiced cuz I use one at work. As a defensive arm, you have to go far to beat it. It even works i...

Mitch1352

I have a Shiloh in 45-70. A call to the factory said that I could use low end Ruger #1 loads, since they use the same receiver for the 50-110's etc. Not wanting or needing that much spank, I shoot loads towards the top end of the Trapdoor listings (I also have an H+R Officer's Model carbine) and som...

Mitch1352

.375 JDJ. It is handload-only for my G2 Contender and I can hunt any big game on the continent. I also load for a Shiloh Sharps in 45-70. Waaay cool and if I get all squinty-eyed, I look like Quigley. Well, maybe not...

Mitch1352

I'm a road sergeant at my department and we went over that shooting today in roll call. Domestics are the worst. All our prayers go to the families of the wounded and the slain. RIP Brother.

I found a Model 53 at my gun store some time ago and bought it without nary a thought. I'm not real keen on the caliber, simply because I don't load for it and it's all alone in that chambering in my safe. But it is waaaaay cool. It is the only lever I have with a half mag tube. I thought about repl...

Mitch1352

"Thanks guys. The reason I asked was that there is a guy in town wanting to swap his Marlin 1895 .45-70 (Walnut Stock & 22" barrel) for most of my fishing rods and reels and most of my lures, tackle, etc.. The rifle is in good shape and was made in 2005." WOW!!! You must have some...

Mitch1352

I tried the search function, but no joy. I want/need another lever and want a Marlin. I will be loading and shooting mostly cast bullets, with a few jacketed ones for hunting. Do I want a Micro Groove barrel or another Cowboy (I have one already)? Barrel length doesn't matter much cuz I think I will...

Mitch1352

I started handloading this year with an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme. The first step was buying SEVERAL loading manuals and reading them first. Then reading them again. Once I got an idea of what happens, I started. The R.C. Supreme is easy to use and the service people are great. This isn't an infomer...

Mitch1352

I have a digital powder scale for some of my reloads. Will using it around a flourescent light or other type of electrical device effect the readings?

Mitch1352

I have a '00 BMW R1100RT and Junior just got an '07 F800ST. When he gets home, I will have him show me how to post a pic. What a sense of freedom there is when seeing the world on a bike!!!

Mitch1352

I have a Spanish Cross pipe hawk from RMJ Forge. Sharp at a razor and an actual, functioning pipe (if I chose to smoke). Ryan Johnson is the chief cook and bottle washer at RMJ and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I got a phD in hawks last year at The Blade Show from him.

Mitch1352

Yes indeed. 5 minutes from the Mall of Georgia.

Mitch1352

I second the request for a pic. I have a Browning also, and was thinking about a full length mag tube, but I don't want to spoil the gun.

Mitch1352

I work the precinct where he was arrested. My watch commander and a sergeant pal of mine made the arrest. My LT said that he seemed not to want to comply, but became quite docile when confronted by a loaded gun and a stout heart. The van he was in was a mess. He was there cleaning it out after the m...

Mitch1352

I'm sorry that he is going. I have a Shiloh Sharps and another on order for my son, and I thought that Big Nose Kate was a dandy name for a rifle. Hopefully he will come back soon, at least to say hello. I agree with those of us who say that maybe we need to grow a bit thicker skin (ScottT, this isn...

To quote my hero: "If you understand, no explanation is necessary. If you don't, no explanation is possible." The Special stirs that feeling that just makes the world seem like a better place. It has a siren song all it's own. The CDI (Chicks Dig It)factor ranks up there with ivory grips a...

Maybe this will stir the pot just a bit more: I had a parent-teacher conference with my youngest's teachers (8th grade) just a couple of months ago. I asked her English teacher why she did not grade for grammar...I always review papers that the kids get back and we go over what they did. Rebecca wro...
