brass shim stock is "predictable"...you can buy it in known dimensions.

Aluminum pop can works in a pinch.

isnt FT Davis out in West Texas? that's quite the crew...who's rode the bike in?

Hillbilly

I dont have a picture... but my 25-35 Winchester does pretty well... you have to use some common sense.... after all we kill deer with arrows... the 357 mag and 25-35 (or -36Marlin) will deliver out to 50 yards (more with a accurate shot in the boiler room). The same "folks" who poo-poo on...

Hillbilly

wow... several of those dura coat kinda products are out there...I have always like a nice parkerized finish on working guns too... sorry... too many choices.

Looking forward to results!

Bill ...I'd figure your grandparents were photographed about 1895. She has a lot of the "Gibson Girl" look in that photo with the hat and hairdo.

The Gent looks pretty much dressed up in late Victorian era duds.

Hillbilly

Blaine... in all fairness... I handled a STI the other day...Novacs... a glass rod trigger... and the slide felt like it was on ball bearings.

Not to bad for the price tag... I dont think I could rebuild a stocker for that price.

Hillbilly

a couple of GI issued 1911 passed my way over the years... most were ok. The problem child wouldnt make 5 hits on a sheet of plywood from 30 feet. In fairness to the pistol.... it was flat worn out. A bushing, barrel and having a 'smith peen the slide and do some refitting we were back in business. ...

Hillbilly

I rotate several 22 Smith & Wesson revolvers and a couple of 22 rifles... Marlin 39 and a Ruger 77/22... I usually run at least 50 rounds a week through one of my 22's. A pair of 357's are the riding and walking around guns... a Uberti Cimeron SAA and a Marlin Carbine. Carry/HD... usually a SW 6...

Standing offer to every kid in my family... I will pay for your first tatoo... but I get to pick where it goes and what it is.

No one wants "tinkerbell on the forehead". Imagine that.

Hillbilly

I am gonna venture a guess. The fussier your states CCW process is...the likelier you are to get a reciprocity agreement with other states? From what I hear..Alabama is almost a "walk in walk out" process. Oklahoma plays the "adminstrative angle to the hilt... but I found the "tr...

Hillbilly

I'd second the starter board or defroster problem... the compressor motor "starts" but won't run for the cycle.

A bad start capacitor would leave you dead in the water (in my experience)...

Cnjarvis... I live in Logan... between Guthrie and the Iowa Nation.

I never cared for a mature boar. Pretty harsh....

Hillbilly

Well... went to a SDA class, showed up at the SO for finger prints and paperwork. Shelled out the cash (ah... cash for the fingerprints, debit card for the OSBI) Now they tell me it's just a matter of waiting (and waiting). Word on the street says 80+ days... or a month- go figure. The clerk was ok....

Welcome Kid C.

I can see that you are a graduate of the YK School of Photography.

A small Case Sodbuster all the time.

Gerber paraframe folder with a clip when I "go to town" (back up to CCW iron) or am horseback (cuts lead ropes etc in a crisis)

Hillbilly

Streetstar... if you can find a set of chains for that tractor they do the trick. I plowed a lot of snow on a 9N over the years.... chains are a "must have" and ribbed feild tires get stuck with regularity without chains. I had to hit a car wash on the way into work this morning... ice ins...

batman 1939... good... we are on the same page.

RCH's run around .003"... about the same as read head hair... just a bit curlier.

Out.

I probably have 6 or 8 inches of snow here in Guthrie. We had 3/8" of ice under it. The wind did not blow much--- that saved a lot of trouble. We were out of lights for about 3 hours Friday night.(Central Rural Electric Co OP best service ever).. back on before 9 PM. I hear we are going to get ...

Hillbilly

Batman, I am pretty mixed up polite society... RCH is a standard measurment... but decorum precludes me from citing the standard. Most of us are working class blue collar kind of Joe the Plumber kinda guys (stuck in the 1950's lol) ... but we are not prudes. Years ago I found if I ignore "thing...

Hillbilly

Edited to add: I did not buy a 7-30 Waters a few years ago... but I drooled over it often in the couple of years it resided in a local shop. For a later era rifle... that was about a slick and pretty as you could get. The knurled hammers are so much nicer than the square ones with the serrations on ...

Hillbilly

I have 7 of em...spread between 1912 to the 50's. None of mine are custom ordered ...no bells whistles or geegaws. Just Blue collar working class rifles and carbines. A couple exhibit honest wear and were obviously used often... a couple were typical Michigan deer rifles (out of the closet for a wee...

Hillbilly

those open cage mega fans bring back some memories. My grandparents had a few of those with the oscilating contraption on them. I had a cousin who was "one of those kids" who you just could not tell anything to. He bled like crazy for a couple of hours... and how he did not loose a finger ...

Hillbilly

What always makes that story for me... Uncle Ed was kind like a real world Andy Taylor. I dont think he had a cross word ever pass his lips and was always good to his kids and dogs. I guess those Brownings touched a lot of folks my age. I never owned one yet... but then I favor the Remington 11 thro...

Hillbilly

all the standard arguments and rationalzations aside... they are about equal.

Most misfeeds in any make of lever gun are from less than enthusiastic cycling of the lever.

I like my Winchesters... but a Marlin wont fill up with snow if you crank it open under a snow laden fir tree.

as bad as table salt is in the modern diet... we won't live long without it.

All mammals need a little salt in the diet.

Salt used to be traded as cash... In a subsistence-barter economy salt would be worth it's weight in "gold" as the saying goes.

I'd guess that pole top is around 8-10 inches in diameter. (lineman in real life). That Hawk looks like his girth is pretty stout. Seen Red tails carry some good sized rabbits... try to haul off young turkeys and a smallish house cat would not be a challenge. I found a good sized Canada goose a coup...

I find ANZI rated safety glasses with "cheaters"( reading lenses) built- in at places like Tractor Supply and other industrial stores.

Paid less than $10 for the last pair. Safety glasses are cheap insurance.

Hillbilly

Congrats!. I have a few memories of those Brownings... my step Grandad hunting with one as did a Great Uncle. My Uncle may be the only person to ever wear a A5 out. He hung his up about 1980 and put 20 years on a Franchi before he passed. Ed was the only person I've ever know to bend the barrel on a...

AR prices are starting to moderate back to pre-paranoia prices. Back-orders are starting to fill and guns are on the shelf going unsold in most retail settings. Building a AR from stock parts is a fun project. If you have a little knowlege, skill and time you can build a very nice rifle for a "...

Sounds like they knew how to make men "men" back then. I won't take anything away from todays GI's and Marines...after all they work with one hand behind the back serving under the modern "Power-point" officers we product in the modern world. But the "Crucible" and &quo...

Very, very nice work. Not to minimize Charlie's work...he is a very talented machinst. But we are quick to forget that our school systems are ill equiped to replace the talent we will be loosing en mass the next few years. Not to many years ago, all of us had the chance to learn the math and some of...

Woolies... very common in the Wyoming -Montana region... I never owned any but have heard they are a very good item to own if you have to cowboy in the dead of winter up there.

Hillbilly

Holy yikes... have you tried that 870 on the skeet range yet?

Hillbilly

Ackley doesnt sound any more opinionated than the late Col Cooper did over the years.

I find a lot of truth in what he says... I like the AR platform, and would have been a lot happier if it was issued with a .27 caliber round..

"I've had to do a rapid entry with an 8 man squad where we did all leave our lights on and the lights bouncing all over strobed the place pretty good, the guys we were taking down didn't have a clue exactly where we all were." If you guys wanna spend the nights at my house... bring your ow...

In my case... I wont go hunting for a bad guy in the house. Unless it is evident that the intruder has cut off some family members who could not retreat to the "safe area". I really do not want to 'clear' a house alone.... just not the most prudent move tactically speaking "let them c...

I expect to find large kitty prints out here east of Guthrie too. This week I found a deer carcass that was drug down by a boat load of Coyotes or a big kitty. When I was still in Michigan we "did not" have any large cats either... just ask the DNR. Out north of Midland we saw some very la...

It was nice here today. I got to unlimber a Walther P22... trying to break on in... it still hiccups now and then. Got to saddle a horse and ride a bit today also. I ride on New Years Eve and New Years Day ... that's about my only tradition. I started making a point to end the year and start the New...

Back when I was a kid... late 60's early 70's most of what I knew about older girls was learned from the Ridgid Tool Calenders that hung around various workshops I could visit. Cheesecake photos is Male targeted ads... I wish we would go back to that. It just isnt PC to do so... but what passes for ...

Being based on a S King novel, you have to allow for a lot of allegory to make the story work. Percy is a person who seems to be corrupt and evil from the start. Being a bit "souless" he becomes a "throwaway" to punish Wild Bill. Several literary people have noted the John Coffee...

Hillbilly

That looks like a very nice SAA. Even with the letters and documents... I'd not go much over $2800 for a Colt like that. The patent line still looks pretty good to me... if it was reblued they didnt bugger it up to bad. I'd have to be getting the boxe, papers and a lock of JW Hardin's hair for $7500...

Well... the storm was a week ago. OK City streets still look like a skating ring and City Hall is wondering why pot holes are starting to appear. The just let it go... and hoped the ice would go away. IF they thought they were "too broke" to clear the streets wait until they pay the bills ...

I resided in the Great Lakes Region for a long time. Today's events in Central Oklahoma would give any winter storm a run for it's money. Cementhead... the on and off ramp seem to baffle most everyone here... speed up, slow down or get out of the way. The average Okie would not survive a day in Chic...

I lean to Doc Hudson's evaluation. High point builds the kind of pistol you run 25 rounds through to see if it works... then leave it in the sock drawer for a rainy day.

Taking the $159 and making a down payment on a higher grade gun would be my A choice.

Hillbilly

Brown Carhartts seem to blend in pretty well around here... and every other place I've ever lived.

I have one cammo hooded jacket. UV or not... it's too "green" for Oklahoma.

back in the day,,, US 51 used to cross the River into Kentucky... on an old, long ,narrow, iron bridge. I have heard that the last few years it was open, tractor trailers would tear each others west coast mirrors off sometimes when the went by each other crossing it. For me... as a kid I'd ride any ...

The pistol resides at the Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum here in OKC.
I think the saddle from that movie is here too.

What movie did that 76 Winchester appear in? It's part of the Selleck section also.
