At your lumber yard or hardware store you can find a product called "Chair Lock". It comes in a little plastic squeeze bottle. It is a kind of resin that soaks into the wood fibers and dries, so they can't shrink. I've had one bottle for more than thirty years and used it on every tool han...

I remember reading several reviews of the Dardick, a magazine-fed revolving mechanism. There was a .38 of about .38 special equivalence. A .22 was promised but I'm not sure it was ever made. The nylon "trounds" could be reloaded without tools. It seemed like a workable design and was offer...

If the snap itself is loose on the leather, look in the center and you will see the rivet-like rim that can be tightened with a flat punch. To prevent marring the rounded, out-side face of the snap, make a seat for it by striking the end-grain of a piece of hard wood with a ball-peen hammer .

Read all about it, "Packing Iron" page 38.

Regardless of the Mississippi, criminal assault remains the same. Let's put this in perspective. If I turn into your driveway by mistake you do-not automatically have the right to kill me or to shoot up my vehicle. If I am hunting on your neighbor's property and my beagle chases a rabbit across the ...

Everyone has a right to defend his livestock. On the other hand, harmless, inadvertent trespass is neither a capital crime nor an excuse for destroying another man's property. In that case the shooter is the one liable for property damage.

Loved the movie. I was in Korea when I saw it. Could NOT stand the TV show.
Gary Berghoff was the only one in both.

I learned carpentry from my Father-in-law, he learned from his Father-in-law.
Diston is the only brand they ever used.
You can know the quality by the bolts in the handle. Top of the line will have five bolts, four bolts is next best, three bolts is utility grade.

"Quint" the blacksmith was Burt Reynolds, supposedly half Indian.

Ken Curtis was a singer in his younger days. He sings a solo in the John Wayne movie "Rio Grand".
Was he with the "Sons of the Pioneers?

Dinner is the main meal of the day, no matter when you have it.
When I'm working I usually have lunch at noon and dinner at suppertime. Sometimes on Sundays I have dinner at noon and leftovers for supper.

My headspace experience involves shotguns. The difference between minimum headspace and maximum headspace in identical guns is the difference between a shove and a roundhouse punch in felt recoil.

For some good laughs it's hard to beat "Grumpy Old Men" ( Ann Margret and ice fishing!).
"Rancho Delux" is a cool laid-back modern western.
"Light Horsemen" is a great WW1 movie.

I was squirrel hunting, walking a lane between the timber and a tilled field. As I was fording a small creek I looked up the bank and saw a hog looking at me from the weeds. I looked to my left and there was another by the waters edge. I looked behind me to my right and there was a third one on the ...

I had lens implants in both eyes because of cataracts when I was in my 40's. I have been wearing no-line trifocals ever since, and wouldn't be without them. I had trouble shooting long guns at first, until I learned to get the smallest and roundest lenses I could find. That way a slight tilt of the ...

I belive $146 is slightly insane when you can buy a single-stage MEC for that price.

I agree with the previous post. The hood goes in your pocket when you're shooting and back on to protect the sight when transporting.

Don't miss George Hamiltom's presentation grade 1891 Mauser.

My favorite movie of all time used to be "The Wind and the Lion" but, now I can't look at a towel-head, even if it is Sean Connery.

152mm Shillelagh gun/launcher firing Shillelagh guided missiles or combustible case heat rounds.

My wish is very simple and doable. I want Remington to build a 16 gauge on the 20 gauge 870 receiver. When Remington was building an annual "Classic" caliber model 700, I would put in my annual request for the 7.65x53 Mauser. "The cartridge that should have been." If we want to g...

I believe they are both made by Investarms. I would bet that the Lyman Trade Rifle is the same rifle as the Cabela's Hawken.

If you'll let a new guy join in, I started reloading with a Lee Loader and purchased a Challenger 2000 press when they first came out, I don't know when. It's the only press I own. I've loaded every thing I shoot on it and reformed 30/06 to 7.65x53 which is a lot of reforming. I've never had a break...

If it's horses and shooting you want to see, get an Australian movie called "The Lighthorsemen". It contains the most magnificent cavalry charge ever filmed, and it actually happened. A three mile charge through artillery and machine-gun fire.

7.65x53 Mauser. It should have been our national cartridge in 1892. If so, the 30/40, 30/06, 308, and 300 Savage would never have existed. Even the 30/30 would be a 31/30. It was in fact widely announced that the 1891 Mauser and 7.65 cartridge had been selected. If this had been true, the 30/40 woul...
