I either worked 18 hours a day for one company, or had 2 jobs and still worked 18 hours a day for over 30 years of my working life, drove fuel transports. Finally parked it last December, and mess with a little lube oil business I have, spend gobs of time on 160 acres I have, and search for more lev...

I've got my dad's long tang, serial # 4079 with bolt peep, original swivels, and a real beauty. He gave $115.00 and got 2 full boxes of of Silver Tips with it, and a nice leather covered gun case, in 1941 :lol: . I'm 64, that was 46 years ago he handed it to me, and someone can maybe buy that one af...

Costner may not be to a lot of folks liking politically, but him and Duvall are born for "Open Range". That big shoot out at the end is one of the best ever in a movie. I still use VHS, got too many tapes and good VCR's to quit now, I do have an extra copy of Open Range.

I bought bricks of Federal .22only about 6 years ago for 6.99 per 500. Now it is 13 something at Wallys near here. Where is the end? A word to the wise would be, even at 13 a brick or bulk pack, it's pretty cheap plinking. And 30-30 or 30-06 and such, a guy better get some while he can if you don't ...

Joe, Your choice of eye doc is a lot better outcome than the gun doc who worked on the marlin bolt gun

, sure glad for that!!! My wife had a cornea transplant 2 summers ago, it isn't the sweetest trial to go through but she can still see, and see good!! Glad for you my friend, keep us posted.

One day in the future, "little Aaron" will know that at a mere 2 months of age, he got to share in a moment of glory with his uncle. You did the right thing to look close to home for that big dude!! Congrats on such a good shot too.

I've bought many guns and never shot them, not that I was saving them for any particular reason. Thanksgiving day I shot 50 rounds through a 7 year old, but NIB, model 657 Smith 41 mag. First time shot, wonderful pistol!!! Why did I wait so long? Shoot your gun, it's the right thing to do.

Every man needs a woman like that, and that old Savage of hers don't owe either of you anything about now. Good thing the season is over for you two, deer population might get to hurting if you went out again!!

Big congrats to you both, you got some good eating ahead.

There is Ruger Blackhawk .357 near my back door where virtually everyone comes to enter the house, and a 12 ga. 870 combat type shot-gunstays handy behind a door. Got a loaded 336 30-30 handy in the basement. With any kind of pre-warning at all, plenty more firepower can be available instantly. What...

I have bought a few rifles in the past that had scopes, several brands, and they all work fairly well. But the best one I have, I bought specifically for a Browning 300 mag in the fancy grade Medallion. It is a VX II Leupold. Sharp and clear, just about all I could ask for in any light or any distan...

A man can make friends with some dude off the street, and in good time he becomes very close, always honorable in his dealings with you, and you would do anything for him, and ditto likewise coming back from him. But when a brother goes bad, there's no redemption. You have probably lost your brother...

I have bought 2 rifles, one from Pete44RU, and one from Arctic Goose. Couldn't have been smoother deals. Bought misc items from 3 or 4 others---ditto. But I did buy a Marlin from a member of another forum once who advertised here and had 1 post only. I trusted big time, but was rewarded with a very ...

I havn't got even a thousand miles on a new Dodge dually, with a 6 speed manual tranny!! But that is where the similarities end with your bike, what a beauty you have there. Congrats!! It's nice to work, and afford a little something here and there isn't it?

That neighbor woman may put you up for some kind of community award now, you'll have every other husband in town mad at you for setting a bad example.

I've known many drinkers, they hated beer. But after they drank a rail car full over a period of time, they acquired a taste for it. Now, that's all they drink. I've got a brand new 444 Marlin I bought about 18 months ago, unfired as yet. After reading your story, I think I want to hunt with that on...

A few years ago, a friend came by and had some 30-06 ammo he wanted to burn through his Garand, and wanted me to join him in some serious blasting. We probably popped 300 rounds of this stuff, and it shot real nice. Afterwards, I ran several patches through the barrel with a good gun oil I use, and ...

Old Lucas never did shoot anyone with just one shot did he? Sounded like 4 or 5, at least he put 'em out of their misery pretty fast. Good little flick here, thanks for showing it.

brucew44guns

Looks like several skillets full there!!

, congrats on a good shot and thanks for sharing pics.

In Oregon you usually get some opportunity in the rain during hunting season. I found that the rain sure hides your noises. Wearing rain gear isn't all that bad once you get going. You guys had a good day of it with that nice buck.

brucew44guns

I didn't notice any gun locks on those firearms, and they wern't locked up very safe, but at least you didn't have too much ammo laying loose all over the place. Lighten up!!!!, just kidding!!!! Very impressive bunch of iron, and I know how long it takes to collect it all, and the bucks. Sweet colle...

I never met a potato I didn't like.

This is pretty good for a windy day in Kansas, cheers you up.

Under the intensity of enemy gunfire, and the heat and passion of the moment when your brain tells you that you could be dead any second, it is remarkable that men do these things, fairly frequently too. Thanks Jay, for posting this.

Got an old Mauser once, Chech model I think it was, just slobbered with protective gunk. I removed the wood, and washed the whole metal in gasoline. Took gas on clean rags and wiped down wood. Tried to be careful so I didn't burn the town down, it's all I had that day so I did it. After the wood dri...

Hard to guess what the guy would ask for a Winnie like that one. I'm sure you would gulp hard when handed the bill.

brucew44guns

Kind of reminds me of the guy playing poker with a bunch of cheaters. "Man, I've been in some pretty wild card games, but 7 aces!!, --this is ridiculous!!" Nice to be ignorant sometimes

brucew44guns

Ammo, lots of ammo. Reloaders are wise to get components, store in a bunch. Factory ammo is better than no ammo, better get some now. Lousy .22 rimfire was in mid 8 dollar range for those Federal 550 bulk packs not very few months ago at Wallys. Now pushing 14.00 in Kansas, better load up if you're ...

You might be able ( on-line) to fiund an article by Bryce Towsely, he covered Moly bullets in that article thoroughly. Seems I recall that he liked them and shot them a lot. Article was back about 2 or 3 years now, seems like it was in American Rifleman.

A guy told me once, " Deer are where you find them, and one will pop up when you least expect it. It's usually all over pretty fast". He was a sage old friend, but he's been right many times as I think of deer I've shot. Most likely you are going score soon, you're persistant.

Jarhead, you have a winner here today!, thanks for posting.

Had it been a bull, he hardly had a chance to draw back the arrow, that critter was right in his face from the get-go. Bet his heart was pounding a little!

From 1975 until 1978 I had a job in Eugene, Oregon that included fueling 3 SP engines that stayed parked in Springfield, a sister city to Eugene. These were older diesels that once were ones used to pull long freight trains, but had been relegated to be used as switch engines around the area, moving...

Offer 4 bills, but be prepared to pay the asking price, it's not bad. Offer 4 bills :) , but be ready to walk :lol: , I read once that you should never be afraid to walk away from a deal. There's always another deal. Crazy to buy some things at full price, just be patient, you'll get a better deal ...

I'm all for a .348 whether it's a Marlin conversion or a 71. Something about the sound of a .348 going off in the deep timber that tells anyone nearby who heard it that something may well have lived it's last. Nice post, I'm happy for your rifle and that great deer.

brucew44guns

I think mine is 1951 year model in 30-30. Very nice guns, but some guys don't like the longer tubes. You lucked out, and in a somewhat more rare caliber than you expect to sneak up on.

brucew44guns

Got several Hawks, and I enjoy shooting them with one hand mostly. I get on the target and squeeze easy but fast. I hit the spot more often that way than aiming longer or holding with 2 hands. The big 44 Super with a 10 1/2 inch tube is a killer after awhile though, and that trigger guard will make ...

I know about Midway and Cabellas and Bass Pro and many others. But is there a little old hole in the wall place that some of you go to, and score some really good prices on factory ammo?-----at least once in awhile? I checked out the above mentioned places a few nights ago for some 405 grainers in 4...

brucew44guns

A hairs breadth doesn't matter to me on accuracy. I do a lot of off hand shooting, and my handguns and several rifles in .22 seem to shoot whatever i feed them all the same. The Federasl bulk pack ammo is good enough for me. Maybe if i was killing rats out at 100 yards I'd need to know what did the ...

I wish I had all the individual contributions I have sent the NRA in the past several years, I would be a Life Memeber, and could treat at least one of you to that position as well. I turn 65 next year, maybe I will do it then.

You're a man too tough to be down for long!!

Hang in and just take it easy for now. Your day is coming back soon.

I posted the thread on the semi-auto, because I want an M1-A. But I do have a Mas 49-56 chambered in 308. It shoots fine the times I have fired it, fairly accurate. Anyone want to buy it? It's a clean and decent rifle, 2 -10 round mags.

The 70 virgins might hold out for a better looking duo to show up and make their claim. Looked like quite a little blast, really too bad isn't it? tsk tsk

Well Fellows, I voted early last week. Now I'm off to the polls to try to encourage some voters to vote for the 2nd Amendment. Here in North Carolina we can campaign up to 50 feet of a polling place. Hopefully I can make a difference. If not, at least I tried. I have two signs: I'll keep. . . . . ....

Nice thing to have such an eloquent write up, after you've passed on. His family must read something like this, and be extremely proud of their family patriarch. Many would wish to have known the man, and be his friend.

brucew44guns

I don't think you mentioned what state this was. But you are indeed a fortunate soul to have that kind of hunting in your back yard. The elk will be a nice thing to have in the freezer this winter for sure. Congrats.

brucew44guns

I appreciate the positive replies on the M1-A. I can afford one, and I all ready have several Garands. I am not struggling to justify buying one, I suppose most of my guns could never be justified, I just wanted them, but appreciate your positive feedback on the rifle itself. . Thanks to all of you,...

That pup could never know how lucky he was going to get by running into you guys.

A $2.00 dollar screw or small part can't take 6.00 worth of handling. They could give away the part, just make thier money on the Costs of the thing to mail it. I've got rifles for 15.00 several times, a lot more involved shipping that, than an envelope with a stamp on it.

Sometimes it's easy to forget that the best thing you ever had is laying right next to you. Never hurt anyone to get a good tune up, and make some changes at home that really count. I wish this movie could be bought now on DVD.

There was a blurb on radio one day last week about the fact that there were some 700,000 more NICS checks this year, than the same time last year. That's a lot of iron.

She looks a little dry and maybe even a tadge dirty. I bet you fix all that pronto, and a little gun oil smeared on her she will shine up sweet!! Congrats.
