Re: Two Marlins, a Browning and some thumb busters

M.M.Wright, thanks for your reply. Of the lanterns in your possession, do you have a favorite model? You know, if anyone had chambered the '92 in .41 I'd be all over it! I can't decide which design I like more: the Winchester 1892 by John Browning or the Marlin 1894 by John Marlin... while I prefer ...

Re: The Christmas Bicycle

Well, as long as we're telling cop jokes... I was driving to into town the other day, and a cop pulled me over. I didn't do anything! I rolled down the window and began to protest when I was interrupted with, "I only pulled you over because your wife fell out of the car about three blocks back....

Re: Henry is threading a lever gun

I believe you are mixing "repressed" with "suppressed"
You are correct. I did it for a laugh, but I see you are displeased enough to use the "rolleyes" emoticon.

Cheer up, my good man! It's Christmas time!

Great Good Lowrd, those are indescribably delicious.

Anyone know who did the engraving? Apologies if I not read enough of the thread...

And, here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas Eve!

Re: Two Marlins, a Browning and some thumb busters

. Bullard, I was once an active collector of gas-pressure lanterns and stoves. Since I don't really *need* any additional pieces, I am now someone who simply has a collection of vintage Coleman. I still, and often, light a big hat 228 lantern in the evening. Sure, if another well-preserved BQ or 42...

Everybody should have a FOWL weather gun.
Heehaw! Good one!

Re: Henry is threading a lever gun

. Man! I would certainly enjoy shooting suppressed... wait... I already do. I live and shoot here in California. What I mean! is... I would love to shoot using a suppressor, but it is verboten in the fine state in which I reside. But, yea; why thread a 24" rather than a 20"? if you have a...

Re: Two Marlins, a Browning and some thumb busters

. Thanks for the kind reception, gentlemen! GunnyMack Welcome aboard! Not only is the 357 a different animal [from a rifle barrel], so is the 41. Merry Christmas Eve! As for the .41, I wouldn't know. Yet! Speaking of Christmas, the FG is my present to myself. Even after a long search, it has taken ...

Two Marlins, a Browning and some thumb busters

. Howdy. Years ago I had an old Win '94 in .30WCF that didn't shoot well. I didn't think to have it rebarreled, and sent it down the road. I did roll the money into my first whirlenpopper, a S&W Model 60, so all is not lost. I went shooting with a buddy who brought along his Marlin 1894 in .357...

Beautiful rifles.

One of the first examples Jeff Cooper gives when writing about his Scout rifle concept is a 6.5 Mannlicher carbine...

I might have a CZ variant one day. Who knows.

Whoops! Look at that: my first post here. Thanks for having me.
