We've been hitting triple digits here in South Alabama for nearly 2 weeks and triple digit heat indexes even longer.

Thank goodness humidity has been down the last day or two!

Welcome aboard Adam. I'll throw a batch of scones into the Dutch Oven to go along with your tea, hope you like Lapsang Souchong, it is all I brought this time.

just before the opening of the Battle of Fredricksburg, in December, 1862, Stonewall jackosn was inspecting the the positions on the Confederate left flank. It was quite clear that the Federals intended to make a major attack in that sector. As Jackson rode past, a frightened young Confederate yelle...

My personal experience with the .38-40 WCF is limited to a dozen or so rounds through a friend's .38-40 WCF/.40 S&W/10mm Auto Blackhawk. So i can't advise on loads or bullets. However, a guy i worked with in the 1990's was still hunting deer in the Mississippi Delta with his great-grandfather's ...

I've often thought, when sharpening my machete, what a fearsome weapon it is. Just the thought of someone whacking away at me with one sends chills down my spine. Shoot me, please. A jerk with a broken beer bottle must have had the same sort of thoughts when I pulled a machete out of my car. Anyway...

pete, Which size/model of the Thunderwear do you use? What size pistol will it handle? Will it handle a 4" revolver? I once had a Bauer Baby .25 ACP. it was a real nice little popper, but the second time I found it with the safety worked off and the muzzle pointed toward my testicles, I traded ...

The british use of the Bayonet was their prime method of demoralizing their enemies. Fire a volley and follow up with the bayonets. It worked well in their day with their training. Created terrible wounds, turned many battles to their favor. IIRC it wasn't until the Colonial army was trained to use...

Doc Hudson

The reason the Patriots did not have fixed bayonets is the simple fact that they didn't have any. As long as they could keep the British held at bay with gunfire, they fared quite well and inflicted severe casualties among the advancing British troops. When their powder and ball started running low,...

when I carried an M-1911 i carried it the same way in Summer as I did in Winter. The three most commonly used holsters were: 1 - Tex Shoemaker Belt-Slide Holster. i generally wore it between my belt and my waist to make dead certain to avoid grip waggle. 2 - A personally made copy of the Bianchi Pis...

Elmer Keith told a story of one of his friends who was basically held captive at forced labor by a fellow. For some odd reason the captor allowed the the young man to keep his Colt SAA, in either .45 LC or .44 WCF he had no ammo for it. Somehow or another, Elmer's friend managed to acquire single .3...

My oldest stepson lives in CO. It was comfortable in Denver when we were there a couple of summers ago (we were walking around in 90+ temps without sweating due to the lack of humidity and couldn't believe it :lol: ) and the mountain scenery and Pike's Peak were wonderful to behold. Nice place to v...

At least the ranks are not filled out with literal jail clearances, and by those who chose the Army in preference to a noose.

Truth is, i have some pretty grave misgivings about VOLAR myself and have had ever since the draft ended.

The M-16 and 5.56nato cartridge were not ment for primary military rifle. Officially is was a secondary rifle, with the M-14 being the primary rifle. ...

Doc Hudson

Isn't this the same argument regarding the anemic .38 Colt vs. the .45ACP from the Moro Rebellion . IMO, it's a no brainer... but as usual, it ain't necessarily our military leaders that have sold this 5.56 cartridge. Frankly, as I understand it, it's our involvement with groups like NATO, SEATO an...

Doc Hudson

Whaat is bloody new about this info? The 5.56 NATO has been failing miserably in battle ever since Mcnamara's and JFK's bean-counters forced it down military throats in the early 1960's. Unfortunately I'm afraid the DoD and Pentagon have too much prestige invested in the pasture-poodle-shooter cartr...

personally, i've never used anything but cast or swagged bullets with blackpowder, so i can't speak from eperience. This is just supposition so I might well be wrong, but I believe there are two reasons not to use jacketed bullets with blackpowder. For one thing you rarely get enough velocity with b...

And good on you for the gift to your Dad.

Ben, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHICH BULLET SHOOTS BEST IN YOU SIX-GUN UNTIL YOU GIVE IT A TRY. (Sorry for the Murbach moment there.) With that said, I've always used either 240 or 250 SWC's in my .44 six-guns. The only 200 grain .44's I've used have been Winchester Silvertips. In general I get better acc...

Hi Michael, That's interesting. England accepts U. S. NRA certification for firearms instructors. Or am I seeing something that's not there? Look again at the NRA Seal on the card and the badge Gun Smith. That is the British National Rifle Association seal, not the US NRA seal. Congratulations Perr...

Table fish as in table fare. I had fresh caught northern pike for lunch today. My father in law and went out fishing and he caught a small 24 incher. It's definitely a fish that needs to be ground into patties. The fillets are way too tedious to eat. next time you catch a pike, filet that rascal, t...

Joe, if you like to catch big crappie, you need to make the trip to the flood control reservoirs in the northern half of Mississippi, Arkabutla, Sardis, or Enid Reservoirs, 2 1/2 to 3 pounders are common around here. Crappie are some of the finest eating fish in my opinion. Slimster ain't jus whist...

Typical Summer slum I suppose. Folks are out doing yard work, barbecuing, playing in the water, or running their kids around.
