The first gun I bought for myself after high school was a 94 Winchester in .30-30. A skunk had the misfortune of getting too close to my uncle's farmhouse not long after.

150 gr soft point + skunk = hamburger!

Mighty nice.

Howdy!

I had a yellow horse once.

A Winchester 94 fit real nice on him.

I like the looks of it.

My Maverick is a '74 w/ a 250 (302 is in the plans).

Oops! Talk about thread drift!!

I don't know for sure, but I hear they're fairly common up north in colder country.

This looks to be another one like I started out with (Lone Star Comm) except this one has not been nickel-plated. More expesive than they used to be, though. http://www.forthehunt.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=95255940 Here's another with a barrel: http://www.forthehunt.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item...

I'm about to put a barrel mount-type Williams aperture sight on the bolt of a 94. I had to modify the contour of the sight base to fit the radius of the bolt, but all that took was elbow grease, a roundfile and some emory. I have decided to have the mount holes drilled profressionally , as I would h...

But I never have to hold 12inches at 200! I wouldn't have to hold that high either if I used a heavier load. My every day load is quite mild, but comfortable in the itty bitty trapper. The load I shoot in my 94 rifle is still not a "top Load" and it's going about 500 fps faster in the sam...

The lad showed his mettle this morning. We went out to check the new hog trap (something little got the bait w/o getting caught) and took a few other guns. Yesterday he was shoting my .38-55 with a real rain bow load (275 gr bullet @ ~1375 at a 200 yard gong). I handed him my son's .30-30 trapper lo...

Yesterday evening we had a family gathering at my folks' cabin to bid farewell to my niece and nephew before they go to Japan for four years (Air Force). I went up to the barn to feed when I first got there and while doing that, I heard smebody shooting something big off the bench. When I was throug...

Cowboy? Work with barbed wire?

Yep, it's a small place and most days out there it's just me. I'm only "part time" myself. Barbed wire keeps the critters where they belong.

Usually.

Is it time to get a newspaper again and see what jobs are available on that island? Don't box yourself in with thinking terms of the work you've done before. It may involve selling cigars on the street corner.

Open a new box. Be flexible. Be home.

In Texas there is only one vet school, Texas A&M. According to the vet that's been in my little town for the last 35 years, most of the student slots are filling with high IQ gals wanting to be a city kitty doctor ($$ small animal vet) making it harder for a country boy that wants to service agr...

I'm sure you're already aware of this fact but for those that are not the toggle-link design 1866

I thought the Cimaron was a Uberti clone of the 1866 Winchester with the toggle link action in a brass frame (another reason to keep it mild).

I'v never gotten anything to leave an even mark all the way around. I'm sure its possible but I seem to just chase small gaps around the gun.

Been there more than once!

I looked over on e-bay and found a Bowie Knife exactly like the one I've had for over 30 years.

At 13.1/4 in overall with a 8 in. blade, I find it a little big for general use and don't carry it often.

From Wikipedia: The historical Bowie was not a single design, but was a series of knives improved several times by Jim Bowie over the years. The most famous version of the Bowie knife was designed by Jim Bowie and presented to Arkansas blacksmith James Black in the form of a carved wooden model in D...

Are we talking US Grade A beeves? Bovines? If so, he seems to over use the word cow.

I was unaware there were places where these were considered game animals. Mine sure wouldn't be hard to hunt!

I saw three groups cross my place over a period of an hour last Saturday.

They passed with 100 yards of me each time as a friend of mine I visited after doing a little shooting. I had a .38-55 and he a 45-75.

Don't tell me they can't read a calendar!

There are LOTS of hogs in my area, but I rarely see them as they are nocturnal in the wild.

I have seen enough to make a trap. It's ready, but I gotta get the freezer fixed.

Just saw an interesting commercial....

A Diet Mountain Dew commercial. "Did you know yo yoes were invented as weapons?"

They then replaced guns with yo yoes. It appeared to make a lot of fun of folks with gunophobia.

I've had two rebored to .38-55, the last one by Jes.

Changed my mind about the 1894S .41 mag because the front sight base came off I'm in the process of getting it back on and re sighting.
So, looks like it'll be the 1895 Guide Gun with a Miwall 405gr JSP clocked at 1377 MV and sighted in at 75 yards.

It's nice to have a little ol' backup!

Your hand may touch the side mount, but after getting used to it, it won't bother you. You can get any of several front sights from Winchester/Browning. You can also look at Brownells, Midway, etc. Many here prefer a post front like the Sour Dough (Brownells). The Williams sight can be purchased fro...

I have a 50 rounder (Ramline, maybe Butler Creek) and it never worked reliably. The Butler Creek "Hot Lips" 25 rounder does a good job in the 10/22 that I converted to an EBG as soon as the ban lifted -just'cause I could!

Are turnips better or worse than rutabaga?

Who cares?

Ain't a nickel's difference and neither are fit for human consumption!

I drive the West Texas leg of that fairly often. I wouldn't worry about the heat in a good car with AC. It's worth seeing the country to do it in the daylight and there's MUCH less chance of an "encounter" with deer on the road.

Why travel if you're not going to see where you're going?

I finally had time to get the website info for the origins of my forge plans.

I chose this design for it's size, lack of complexity and being made of materials I could relatively easily acquire.

Sounds like you need to invest in some dedicated cleaning supplies. Cloth diapers make the best cleaning rags I've ever used.

Is there no place to do this that she cannot smell? If not, you need a shop.
