Booger Bill

For a short time I was a guard at Universal Studio`s back in late 1964, early 1965. I met Crawford and talked to him. Prior to that I didn't like him from Highway Patrol. He always was so overbearing. I was surprised, he was okay with me. He did have a reputation for drinking and was I suspect a lit...

Ive had a few marlins. The 39A and a Mountie I shouldn't have let go of. The 39A just struck me as being a lot bigger and clunkier than it needed to be for a little 22. In 22`s I have always liked the Winchesters, always sleeker and lighter in the 61, 62 and 63`s and 9422 of which I had/have example...

How do you find a 8 year old thread? Anyway that's the fun part. There are uncountable brands, models and calibers out there. A case can be made for most of em. We all have favorites. My biggest problem if I ever got called out on short notice and there was no escaping it, I would have a devil of a ...

I don't see the need for me to quit packing my old s&w model 40.

Booger Bill

This 1890 Winchester was already customized with a pistol grip stock with cheek piece when I bought it around the early 1970`s. It was in .22 WRF. As you know the wrf has the same diameter bullet as the .22 mag. I asked a gunsmith friend about lengthening the chamber to the more available .22 mag. I...

I was high up and seen the action. There literally was a sea of people he ran through to grab that ticket, and then he disappeared in a sea of people. Any shot at all would have had to hit a bystander.

I bought this 94 new in about 1956 when I was 15. Right away I had a pad put on for LOP and a williams foolproof. It has held its zero and the gun is accurate. Never had to move the sight. Set it for 100 yards. I once shot a buck with it around 220 paces. I was a wet snow and he was high above me on...

No, its a J.C. Higgins 12 gauge. I think they were called a model 20. I am pretty sure they were made by Hi-standard for Sears. I bought it about in 1955 when I was 14 years old. I recall even trading a single barrel 20 gauge Iver Johnson on it. It was a small town Sears Roebuck store. Imagine them ...

I have a cousin who got shot by another hunter bird hunting in the face and blinded in one eye. He switched and still lives to hunt. He adapted.

Had me going on that one. I thought I was Rip Van Winkle until I scrolled down and checked your date.

Years ago I was at the horse race track. We were sitting high in the bleachers and looking down. At the end of the race there was a guy down below us that must have had a big win. He held his ticket high in the air and was yelling, I won! I Won! Then I seen this mid age average looking black man run...

My dad told me of a story of a friend of his, Blackie. This was in the mid 1930`s and dad and Blackie were gamblers/friends. It was a day or two before Christmas Dad and Blackie were sitting in some hotel lobby after a night of poker. Blackie`s wife came in with a couple kids and asked Blackie for m...

It is something to dream about from every standpoint. How many of you are old enough to remember a old TV series in the 1950`s called "The Millionaire"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Millionaire_%28TV_series%29 A tycoon picks out various people and has his gofer give them a million dol...

I had just thought that I had read that a time or two through the years. What very little I have shot it or am going to shoot it couldn't hurt. Short story, besides it`s bloody history, it once was stolen from me (along with more) and was recovered along with a shotgun but the barrel and stock was s...

Thanks! I haven't shot it in ages. I need to take it out. I bought some standard velocity target loads awhile back. I heard its best to stay away from hi speed loads on them.

Real solid ivory.

I bought these old carved ivory grips for a old HDM out of his shop back in the 1970`s. The gun has a bloody history. A friend of mine was a Deputy in Colorado many years ago. Someone killed a filling station attendant. He was nearby and arrested the gunman but couldn't at first find the gun. Finall...

One squirrel cost me big time a year or two ago. It got under the hood of my truck and chewed up my wiring and ate a large area of insulation under my hood. Probably used the insulation for a nest.

Years ago when I was a Lockheed guard there was a click of guys that pooled their money. Two jokers set up the others. There was a big jackpot and a guy used a exacto knife and pieced together the winning numbers, got about 4 or 5 guys that were in on it and had them high fiveing etc. Then the talle...

I didn't know about his company. Only about the store. Seems I heard he retired in Idaho? This was probably back in the 1980`s. IIRC, his shop was on Ventura Blvd and later the last time I was in it was on Sherman way in Reseda or Nortridge. And that was 15/20 years ago. Wonder if he`s alive? I boug...

Many years ago when the lotto first started I was over to some friends house. Talk came up what they would do if they hit it. Bonnie was going to buy everything under the sun. Frank was going to save most of it. They got arguing hot and heavy about it like they had just won it for real!

marlinman93; Many years ago I had one like yours in some type of .50 caliber. It was a very heavy rifle. It was in worse shape than yours. It had no sights but had a bunch of dovetails, some filled some not. I had thought it was for a early long tube sight. I took the gun to a gun show and sold it. ...

After I retired the wife and I was thinking of building on a patch of land I had on a mountain side 50 miles north of Reno. She said no, it was too close to gambling for you. I said okay, lets go another 60 miles north and look at Susanville. We found a Realtor and she said I have just the thing for...

Know what the meanest animal in the world is? My best buddy asked me that years ago. I thought a grizzly or cape buffalo. Nope he said, it`s a crockagater. Whats that? It`s got a crocodile head on one end and a alligator head on the other. Aww, hell Bill, that cant be. How could he s---? Bill said &...

I am a somewhat reformed gambler. Years ago I think I worked to gamble. When I retired I had to quit. Still might go two or three times a year to eat and get rid of $200s. Utah where I live, and Nevada are two of the four states that doesn't have the lotto. If I had the chance I would buy at least o...

Maybe they can classify it as "Indecent exposure?" I got a snub and would rather no one see it. Get a zipper holster and keep it zipped? Seriously now, here in Utah we have open carry. I have the CC permit too and they are easy to get. We have lived here 11 years. In town, I have only seen...

Bought mine new in 1955 when I was 14 years old. I soon added a Williams Peep and a pad for LOP. I have shot most of the deer with it. It`s still accurate, I haven't had to move the sight in 60 years. My longest shot was with it. 200 to 220 yards. A buck was high up on the side of a mountain above m...

I have found out no family is untouched. Some might say they aren't but I say just wait. After I retired I got in sort of a coffee clutch with some guys I knew on the job, retired LE and everything else. What amazed me almost to a man generally there were similar story's with all of us. Many of them...

My grandpa had this. I think the picture probably was taken around Bettendorf Iowa as that`s where he was from. The picture probably dates in the early 1900`s. Should be a few similar rifles in it.

Booger Bill

I think it`s a combination of too thick of a pistol grip, a longer barrel and a slightly short LOP. If it were mine I might put on a leather pad for both LOP and recoil. I have a couple on these clone 92`s.

I have a Browning 92 in .44 mag that I bought in the 1970`s or 1980`s. Also own a .357 Rossi Puma. The .357 is a sweeter gun to shoot. I recall the shop also had a Browning 92 in .357 the day I chose the .44 mag. Wish I had bought the .357 too. I did have to replace the loading gate. They aren't a t...

My first good handgun was a Ruger convertible 6 1/2" I bought in 1961 or 1962. I probably shot that gun almost as much as I have most of my handguns put together since. It was stolen out of my house long ago. Then some years ago I bought another early ruger single six that looked unfired! Think...

I have read of guns being stole out of police and FBI cars. What are you going to do? Once years ago in California I seen a highway patrolman come out of a restaurant and reach on top of the front tire and get a key. I guess the station mechanic had dropped of the cruiser there for him. I said somet...

I think half the body shops in my town would go out of business if somehow there were no road kills. What amaze`s me is it doesn't seem to slow the people down that should know better. We were talking to a young waitress about it and she claimed to have hit about a dozen! We live in the fair sized t...

Killjoy here. What happens when a deer jumps out on you? Last year I hit a fawn on a trail driving our Polaris RZR at only 15 mph. The fawn wasn't going to live and was bleating in pain.

I have a old model colt trooper 4" in .22 lr. Even that feels too heavy. I seldom shoot it. It seems to weigh close to double what my idea of a 22 revolver should. That ruger looks a lot bigger.

Now THAT is the coolest gun I have ever seen! Whoever dreamed that up must have wanted to get even with a wolve that blocked his path to the privy last week. Like ma said, "Thar aint nothing new under the sun! Once I challenged her when she told me there was no two snowflakes alike.

The first reports did say the terrorist were wearing armor. Later that was retracted to they were wearing "tactical" vests with all the pockets etc. If the rare chance does happen that it looks like they are wearing bullet proof vests I would aim for the head, knee`s or legs. I don't know ...
