IF, Hollywood would adhere to what the Biblical account is, it would be worth seeing. i did NOT see it, but I've spoken to a number of those who have, and they say "Noah", starring Russell Crowe, is way off of what the Biblical account is... :? i saw on the news today that a new study show...

i don't know why anyone would want to 'black' a brass Henry...

...but...i would have it done professionally if i were to have it done.

:lol: i still have the first rifle i ever bought (circa 1955-56)...an old sears roebuck model 103.18 (Marlin 100) manually cocked, single shot, 22 RF...i still shoot it regularly... :wink: thru the years i bought a lot of those guns (and bows) i could not possibly, live without...but right now, i ha...

nice! very nice!

pretty kool...what would the REAL Vikings thought of having an AR like that?

Blaine, take your summers in ShowLow, winters in Yuma... Drag the trailer all over in between! At least 4 members in our club do exactly that, either ShowLow or Prescott. Not a bad life at all. :D you might wanna try the Cottonwood/camp verde area...wonderful thousand trails there and well within d...

foxes (the legal ones, NOT protected...there are three species in CA) can be taken with archery and air guns.

talk about 'stupid' hunting laws...here in CA, you may hunt big game with center fire pistol with xx ft lbs ME, but you may NOT hunt big game with the 223/5.56...go figure.

I keep my lever marlin 39 dressed with the Williams rear peep simply for dealing with close shots at venomous reptiles that occasionally find their way onto my property.

I 'scope' my BA and SS rifles for accuracy at all ranges.

bicyclists take their lives in hand when they ride the roads around where I live.

two lane, narrow, with little, to no, shoulder to escape and evade if necessary.

I never argue with a stupid person. It`s always a no win situation. My dad had a expression I heard him say a few times. "Don't insult my intelligence." :D ...like someone said about putin and our prez 'negotiating' putin reportedly said: "negotiating with him is like playing chess w...

I got an email, a while back, from a person who claimed he had found a fortune in Spanish dubloons in a pirate ship wreck in the Caribbean. sadly, the poor man could not dive any longer due to an accident while diving on the wreck and wanted me to send him $3000 to hire another diver to complete sal...

i have seen that DC-10 in action...they had to do an air-drop near where i live...very impressive.

they fly planes like that as though they're "Low level" planes...

where I live, we occasionally, get WWII warbirds fly over on their way to major airfields for air shows. there's nothing to match the sounds of a radial aircraft engines of a B-25 Mitchell or the whine of the turbo charged mustangs. those who flew those machines in defense of us and our way of life,...

donw

jeeeeeee...we have them all here...BW's, tarantulas... I ran across a BW so big i could see it well enough, from the ground (it was in the gable of my garage) to shoot the darned thing with an air rifle. I've shot numerous tarantulas with air rifles. for some reason, they like our horse corral... I ...

during a 'deployment' to sunny, s/e asia, I was told to sit in as right door gunner, a regular gunner was sick...to which I replied: "But sir, I'm not on flight status..."...to which he cheerfully replied: "So? what's the problem? here's your flight helmet, check the ammo...let's go.&...

quick thinking and a calm head prevented disaster.

good job!

very interesting carbine...looks like it might be a good investment...kinda like an AR set of lowers or an H&R...where you can have multiple calibers for the same frame/lower.

donw

nice looking what ever it is...

donw

i was trained using the old 'frog' slings of the M1 Garand

i also like the side mounted slings like the M1 Carbine.

when done properly it aids in unsupported shooting a great deal (at least it helps me...

)

donw

IMO, as having, been trained with and used 30 caliber weapons, the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine and M14 i can attest to the effectiveness AND accuracy of them...it was a mistake to get away from the 30 caliber. many will debate the effectiveness of the M1 Carbine as a combat weapon...to them i ask: "a...

very interesting.

i wonder if he normally wore his hat like that?

japan outlawed firearms in the 18th/19th century...samurai didn't have a chance against firearms of the era...

just get a full head cover hood like bikers wear under helmets or a camo hood...that's what i used to do...you can still find your anchor, no problem...

donw

i have the 39AS, gold trigger model that i purchased new in 1990 (?) it's accurate, reliable and will digest any fodder i feed to it. i have stuck with the standard, buckhorn open sights. to me, they feel and perform "right". once i figured out the adjustment of the rear sight yardages (ap...

IIRC...william calley, who ordered the my lai massacre in vietnam did only seven years...i saw a blurp in the news a long time ago he was selling real estate in florida... IMO, we have an administration who doesn't know what a moral compass is... we certainly don't need occurences like those, though.

i have had a few lever guns thru the years. i still have lever guns. i will keep lever guns. in todays world of AR's and 'tactical' arms, the lever gun, IMO, still is able to "Hold its own". when i consider if i should ever need to use a firearm in a defensory mode, a lever would be an exc...

there was lotsa chatter on another forum i visit frequently about the anti's and their 'boycott'...

who cares about their boycott? a double espresso sounds really good...cya there!

years ago, i gained a great deal of respect for the venomous reptiles: when entrering in country at a briefing..."The area where you guys are headed, the king cobra reaches lengths of 15 feet..." ... :shock: since then i've been very snake conscious. unless a rattler is in an area where it...

California is a good example. Instead of trying to educate LE they tried to bait them by open carrying pistols, shotguns and ARs in malls, coffee shops etc. If you're a cop and you see a guy walk into a mall with an AR, would you ignore it? An officer is naturally going to think "why is that g...

i installed a 2x tasco on my 1894c, 357/38 carbine. although...i DO like open/iron sights...i'm guilty of having been trained with iron of the M1 Garand by the US Army. :? i still use the 'buckhorn' sights of the 39AS marlin, too, but i'm considering a scope for it, too. ya gotta be able to see it t...

my 870 rem pump shooting slugs...

i trained with the M1 Garand...hundreds of rounds in very short periods of time...my cheek got sore from cheek weld on the stock. but the recoil was manageable...

now days? my .308 win Savage 12 is the hardest kicking centerfire if have...and it's not too bad..

donw

very nice...very innovative.

Pcp air guns are charged two ways. You can have them charged from a scuba tank or you can use a high pressure hand pump. Car pumps do not generate enough pressure to be used by air guns. Nath, over here, the .177 in that model shoots at 800fps. What does the .22 do over on that side of the pond.? I...

IMHO, the standard rear sights are pretty good.

donw

Duncans in San Marcos is a good one and there's also "The shootist" in Murrieta if you don't mind the drive. they specialize in "Old guns".

i use a nylon brush of the correct caliber to clean the chamber and run numerous patches thru the bore to clean and use a light gun oil for the final patch the the bore.

i was laid up with a broken leg as the result of a motorcycle crash...my then, girlfriend, now my wife, called me and told me "Honey...we're under attack. airplanes have attacked new york city."...we had no TV at the time so i had to get my news from online... in alignment with what Oly sa...

it's too bad so many of those '03's were sold as surplus and now are considered as 'obsolete'...they were wonderful rifles...(Still are...) but alas...as was said before, you can get a NIB Savage that will shoot 1" and less at 100 yds right from the box for a few more dollars. I have a Mauser '...

will the two piece firing pin in the marlin 30-30- lever cause the rifle to "jam up" if it malfunctions?

donw

at this time, i would NOT recommend California. there are members of our state legislature who are trying to outlaw ammo, get rid of lead ammo, register ALL firearms, prohibit internet and mail order ammo purchases, the list goes on. this is not a good year for firearms here...we'll be lucky to be a...

dang!! didja see that 21 ft croc they caught tin the PI???

as a caveat, i looked at some of the crocs/gators in the record books...28' 4" croc taken in 1957 in Australia...

my grandpa, who was born in 1895, died 1975, never did believe in much more than "Tin Lizzies"... let alone men going to the moon...was it all staged?

through the years, I've accumulated all the firearms i want/need (Mostly WANT) what I've elected to do now is to upgrade or 'improve' the ones i now have. as an example: i added a Williams rear aperture to my 39AS Golden and did the removal of the "rebounding hammer" feature. I've removed ...

I'd have to go with John Wesley Hardin, Bill Longley and Clay Allison as the worse of the worse from Texas

I agree with FWiedner about political correctness. That said, down here in the states, inner city dwellers and those brain washed by the antis have developed a phobia about any black rifle with black furniture. ESPECIALLY if it is a bottom feeder. However, a wood stocked bolt action rifle doesn't d...

IMHO, the use of 'solid' or FMJ on big game should be legal. i read recently, the the DOJ here in California has "ruled" solid bullets as being "armor piercing" so that may be coming into play in the very near future here in California, at least...(I'm not certain about the brand...

i like the high desert...been retired here for the last 10 years...
