Tang Sights...

Get some more feedback before you make a final decision, as if you ask 10 shooters, you'll get 8 different ideas...

Here's my feedback, with pictures of a tang sight on a Marlin Cowboy...

OT - Ruger OLD ARMY Discontinued....................

Bastards!!!! 'Ol Bill must be rolling over in his grave, as I've read that was one of his favorites and he reportedly said that it would "Always stay in the line-up as long as he was around..." Heck, I'd always wished for Ruger to make a 5-shot .36 caliber percussion revolver built on the...

OT: New Year Sunrise pictures

Happy New Year to all! My wife, my son, my yellow lab pup (16 weeks old) and I watched the first sunrise of the New Year from Pemaquid Point, in Bristol, Maine. For those who don't know where that is, just look at the back of the Maine quarter -- as that's where we were! I took a few pix that I thou...

I think you guys are right... As I'd recently send out 20+ messages to thank folks for all the snail-mail donations received for Project Sword. I had tried to "move" them from the outbox to the sent folder (by "saving" them) -- and that didn't work -- and then magically, it happe...

OT: Best WW1 Movies

Watching (yet again) the recent movie "The Lost Battalion" got me to thinking... Are there any other decent movies about W.W.1? I saw "Fly Boys" which was OK (some of the computer effects were overdone, me-thinks...) and I remember seeing the movie "Blue Max" or somethi...

With the great tastes in guns our forum members have here, I figured some of you would like to see them too... Let’s start off with: Mod #1, Target Front Sight I hand cut and filed one each of t...

OT: H&R 999 Sportsman

Here's a pix of a recent acquisition... An H&R 999 "Sportsman" made back in 1970... I first bought one of these the week I turned 21 and was able to buy my own handgun back in the early 80's. Then I traded it a few years later to get a S&W Model 17. The Smith, just like the H&...

Marble's Tang Sight for a Marlin 336

Here's an early Christmas present I got for... ME! :D I'm posting some close-up pix here, in the hopes it helps a forum member or other shooters... I recently added one of the Marble's Tang Sights to my .38-55 Cowboy (see pix below). I chose the Marble's instead of a Lyman, as it has the windage ad...
