Thanks, had some pretty tough times this winter, and then little access to barely working internet out here.

Those weirdly colored foxes up there are considered just color variants of red foxes. So were blue and silver foxes descended from reds? If so, it would explain the genetic "defect" that can plague fox farmers, when an orange undertone or orange patches show up in their fur. Fox farmers r...

Bald Eagle, unless it was one of the others.

Any of you guys birders? Can you ID all the birds?

Fox, but not arctic. There are several types of fox here, probably quite intermixed with each other by now. They had blues, silvers, etc. Red, I guess, too, but I have never seen a red one yet. They are large and can be somewhat aggressive toward people.

So you will remember when the benches on the mountain collapsed on the side of the runway, and people were driving down the runway to get to the shooting range? This was '04, I think. I spent that summer shooting the wall back and shooting new benches. You would have seen me for sure, and I probably...

Just today here on Kodiak, I looked at a beautifully well-used Winchester 94 trapper .30-30, with lots of areas of cleaned-off surface rust on the receiver. Front sight dovetailed into the barrel (no ramp), simple wide V rear sight, saddle ring. The owner has a number of rifles, in a number of calib...

Panzercat, before you pick up an AK, I will shoot some emails to Tim Harmsen, Marco Vorobiev, maybe Dave Fortier.

They are all very up to speed on the AKs and one of them should be able to give me some info to help.

The vz58 s are intriguing--- despite my AR bias--- if you squint, they look like a Valmet They are great. The quality is so high, and the design is way different than an AK. With a milled receiver they are lighter and better balanced than a stamped AK, controls are better, bolt stays back on the la...

.30-40 Krag is a great cartridge - don't sell it short. Of course, so is the '06. With the .30-40 Krag, you don't have to worry so much about the action being battered, though.

That's funny!

Check out JMB's original design and the pistols originally submitted.

The Cavalry was the primary combat users of pistols in those days, and had some ideas of their own. Changes were requested . . .

When I get home I will send pictures to you of the ones I have. Don't know how soon that will be. My life got a bit messed up lately, and if I can't come up with some money quick, I might not have a home.

So I might just be blowing through on my way to somewhere else.

My explanation is simpler and less math-intensive.

Unfortunately, it is also extinct and therefore lacks all shooting-related fun.

Cavalry holsters, then cavalry holsters with the flaps cut off and simple holsters of a similar pattern can be seen in photos.

To answer the original question, a .270 will work just fine on a moose. Use the right bullet that won't come apart and stop short.

The things are tanks. They can handle recoil and thermal cycling at a level that kills every electronic sight on the market.

A shark hook! We used to use them for halibut. If you haul up a big one, it is likely to shake hard when you shoot it, or when you gaff it, or even when it breaks the surface.
