So apparently Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking a page from DOGE. I just received an e-mail from him to provide a 5 bullet-point list of what I ate last week. I responded: (1) Maple old-fashioned doughnut from Voodoo Doughnuts (2) Maple old-fashioned doughnut from Voodoo Doughnuts (3) Maple old-fashi...

I will not be here, I spend the summers in Lander WY. Makes me chuckle plenty.

Considering the time period, he may have been referring to his Smith carbine. A later editor, having little knowledge of firearms, would have added the Wesson and maybe even the "target rifle". Or, it could have been a Frank Wesson rifle with the "Smith" added by a later editor....

I think Bill In Oregon is on the right track, the Smith and Wesson 320 wasn't produced until 1870 according to my books. Writing 45 years after the events in the book, the author might very well have remembered "Smith and Wesson" for "Wesson". In those days, it was common for fac...

I just finished reading a copy of "The Indian War of 1864" written by Captain Eugene F. Ware, first published in 1911 and reprinted in the 1960s by Bison Books. This person fought in several battles of the Civil War and was then assigned duties as a Cavalry officer guarding the Immigrant t...

I absolutely cannot get a piece of liver into my mouth, not any kind of liver in any form whatsoever. I would lie right down beside a liver and starve to death.

Well, I think I have it whipped and it wasn't the primers. I tested my trigger pull with my Lyman gauge and got 1 pound 6 ounces so I put a few little washers under the hammer spring, brought it up to 2 pounds 4 ounces. Went back out to the range and fired 20 rounds without a misfire, included were ...

Another time I thought I got a bad batch of CCI rifle primers. Turned out they were just slightly larger diameter than I was accustomed to and required a much firmer press to seat the primer fully and again this was an Earl failure and not a primer failure. I bought 2000 of those many years ago, ab...

My Father was born in 1899, my Mom in 1906. They were always poor when poor meant something, lived a hardscrabble life in rural Wyoming, the Great Depression never ended for them. In later years my Mom was fond of saying "The only good thing about the good old days is that they're gone".

Well, the plot thickens. :D There are two models of the ADL. First Model from 1948-1956 had the checkered stock and forend, along with sling swivels. Second Model 1957-1963 had the Monte Carlo stock with raised cheekpiece and sling swivels. Wood was supplied by Bishop. Second Model is worth 20% more...

I am thinking of selling my Marlin 336A DL, 32 Special, from the 1950 era. I have searched over Gunbroker and cannot find any real comps, there are plenty of 336A models but no 336A DL types recently sold. So, the question, is there much price difference if any between the two? Thanks.

Millions and millions of rounds have been loaded with the little Lee dippers over the decades, a case of "close enough" actually being close enough.
