Ray, that 1879 Sandy Hook (sad that we now have to clarify) trial set the USA back ten years in military arms development. Love my trapdoors, but...not to formidable against the Mauser's in Cuba. Kirk, think I have your old $1 M71/84...shoots fine, but all mismatched and used. Tutt, excellent rifle,...

Just sorting through the inventory and came up with this, in no particular order: '63 Colt contract version of the '61 .58 cal Springfield 4 digit model '73 Springfield Trapdoor made in 1875 (high arch, w/firing pin spring!) but with a '77 rear sight. '73 Springfield Trapdoor carbine w/1881 cartouch...

Got lucky, added runners to my downspouts which moved them a good 10' from the house. Never had a lick of moisture again in the basement.

Well I ain't got no compliant about Terry...he reminds me of my Grandmother. No, not how they look, but taken a shot from the blind quarter that you forgot was there.

Have had the original Sorel Pak Boots for pretty close to forty years. Changed the inserts a few times, but have always served me well. Whitetail opening day this year was -02F' with out factoring the 32 MPH wind (makes it feel a whole heck of a lot colder), sat in my tree stand with my feet resting...

The truth is, he turned South Africa into more of a toilet than what it was. Erm, no, you're wrong. Yes, white people are worse off than they were. But we were only as well off as we were because we were exploiting black people. Black people are better off. Not as much as they could be, but that's ...

'94 Winchester Timber Carbine, chambered for the venerable .444 Marlin...good for anything from squirrels to elephants depending on how you load it. Weighs a heaping 6 1/2 lbs too! Then again, my '94 Trapper chambered in .44 Mag has served me well. 13 whitetails, one Black Bear, and a nice size bull...

Well, it finally happened. At 0941 on August 20th I lost my Father. In what some might see as a blessing based on all he has been through these past four-five years, my heart aches at the loss due to the re-connection I have felt with him in the last ten-fifteen years. I have to thank God for giving...

Longmire is a modern day western set in a beautiful location. The title character carries a 1911 and a Winchester 94, drives a vintage Bronco, and doesn't give a rip about being trendy.

Hard to believe that the standard WIN 30-30 170 FP will become a "hard to get" round!

No more .32 Spec?

Down to my last couple of hundred .375 220 FP's...say it ain't so.

Dang, wish I would've known. Been tramping around your area all this week, was a hundred miles north of the cities until noon, then got a call that my Dad was 911nd to the hospital and had to high tail it home. Just pulled into the drive about a half hour ago.

Unfortunately, none of the race to the bottom is new. Granted we have more obstacles to overcome to reach each of our own perception of the "brass ring". But, since the dawn of the industrial age this migration of "lower labor costs" has persisted. Back in the panic of '73, yep 1...

An acquaintance has a '95 Winchester re-chambered/barrel for 6.5 X 55...sweetest shooting rifle I have ever had the pleasure of shooting. With 140gr bullets, almost no recoil and still slings them out the barrel at +2800 fps.

Was at the GM gun only store in Germantown, WI yesterday. This store is just down the road from Cabela's in Richfield. Definitely pricey.

Interesting...way back when I was a youngster, my Grandfather was the county sheriff up in Northern Wisconsin.

Are you shooting the M44 with or without the bayonet extended? I just used roll pins for pillars, ground to proper length. BTW, the M44 was never meant to be an arm of accuracy. Angle of man @ 100 meters was good enough. Most had hand straightened barrels after they welded the bayonet mount on to th...

Tell ya what, an original 1911 does not like LSWC's...jambs all the time. After a few thousand rounds of 115gr LRN's out of an M1 carbine, it started cycling inconsistently.

Prayers sent, Pitchy. Only advice that I can offer is to look into your soul at the same time you are looking at the horizon.
