Im on a roll. 2nd Marlin 1888 found

Early in the month it was a Marlin 1888 in. 32W Then today im picking up a 90% original finish 1926 Winchester Trapper, And while up picking up the Trapper im also closing a deal on a second Marlin 1888 in .44W that popped up locally. Funny thing is, th...

Re: Bucket List Items
Too much unpredictability today to hold to any kind of a "must do" list. I expect to face a lot of hardship in the future so my philosophy has changed somewhat to be more appreciative of things as they come.

Re: Can we really tell? Bullet weight
Ive used a few cartridges in a few bullet weights on deer, and they all died on the spot or within 10 yards, I rhibk I might have "tracked" one 20 yards once. The only difference i saw was the faster the bullet the bigger the mess so I tend to use heavier for caliber bullets Our PNW blackt...

Re: FYI- major carriers national outage
Rumor has it we are at war with Iran and the outage was the opening salvo of their electronic warfare strategy.
Plausible, certainly, and looking increasingly likely

Re: Inside a Marlin 1888
The carrier is a lot like the winchester 1873 carrier in that it is a "box" that the cartridge feeds into. When the lever is at full extension the carrier tilts down and takes a cartidge from the magazine, then tilts back up where the bolt closes through it and feeds the cartridge into the...

"Refinished" Winchester 1892 Trapper .44wcf
Long story short, keep your eyes peeled. An unlucky shop let this one slip out last week as a refinished gun at a refinished-gun price but it turns out to be a high condition factory original finish. In this case their mistake cost them much $$$ and landed me probably the nicest rifle i will ever ow...

Inside a Marlin 1888

Ive had my Marlin 1894 apart a lot in trying to resolve the Marlin jam, and after reading about the 1888's history here and elsewhere I figured it would be nice to se...

Re: SIXGUN SIGHTS
I recently bought a SAA that came with a slight modification that makes a HUGE difference, especially outdoors.

Re: I do like hyphenated cartridges
I owned a .32-20 Colt Army Special long before I ever owned a .38spcl. Since then ive bought s few .32-20 lever actions. I just picked up a .44-40 levergun as well, though i sadly won't get the chance to shoot it at all, if I convinced myself to buy one .44-40, I can do it again. Technically I alrea...

Re: Young guys having trouble finding life mates
Isn't any better in church. The amount of women within the church who will openly pursue you while they are wearing a ring is disgusting.
We as a culture have allowed our wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters to become tools of Satan.
