I dont think Illinois accepts any other states carry credentials.. be they resident or non resident. I live in Oklahoma... our CCW is good in over 30 states... when I travel, I skip Illinois altogether... or bag the gun per Illinois regs... buy gas in Iowa or Kentucky and try not to stop until I hit...

yea... Mark Twain said something to the effect that his Dad got smarter as Twain aged. I have a step son (sorta...he was pretty much grown when I married his mother). Kid has been in the same hole, like clockwork every 6 months or so since I've met him. Quit High School.... mooched off everyone he k...

Long reattas or cactus ropes (60 ft or longer) were not uncommon . After you catch and jerk your cow... there is a enough rope so you can take a 'dalley' (wrap) around the horn.... hold the end... and control that cow as you walk up to it and do your work. The 30 and 35 footers we see so often today...

I remember both of those ads.

Wow.. I guess I've been blessed the last few years. Up north... our township zoning rules gave me enough area to shoot on my own 10 acres... and I could hunt on the neigbors farm. Best part... we were 5 miles from the 'mall' and close to work. The local conservation club had cheap memberships... ske...

Just how old are the vintage Marbles W1 tang sites? I bought a used one for my circa 1880 Marlin-Ballard years ago, and am not sure if it is period-correct. I may have to mount it on my Marlin Model 1893 32-40 rifle instead if it doesn't date back to the 1890's or so. [quote=" The W1 is an orig...

I shot this Cobra at our recent Defensive gun match a couple of weeks ago. Very good shooter with standard velocity ammo. Shot the 4 stages (65 rounds or so) without a hiccup. I got a re shoot on the first stage... glasses fogged up and I was totally guessing on the last 3 targets... hit em... but n...

Hillbilly

So... I guess I should order a new spring, pin and the retaining pin for this gun. I still get a mis fire every now and then. Even if I decide to "live" with the problem spares are a nice thing to have around. I can push the pin out by hand... and by eye it looks like I get about .030"...

Hillbilly

When I got home... I shot the firing pin hole full of Kroil and let it sit a little while.. ran out back and got "12 for 12" I'll stand it up in a corner and let some more Kroil work on it over night. The pin moves freely... I don't feel any binding or crunchies that would indicate a broke...

Hillbilly

Thanks...Is that the mystery guy who bought up all the NOS from Marbles a few years back... first firm lead I've got on him.. thank you.

Hillbilly

Kim... yep... but mine is the longer barreled "Buntline" version from a later production run. From what I understand the mechanicals are all the same. The cylinder is clean... I dont get any noticable "endshake" (can you get that on a basepin?) and when it fires off... it fires o...

Hillbilly

It might help if you tell us what you're working on. Sorry Kim... it's a Colt New Frontier 22... a "g" sn version with the alloy grip frame and the active firing pin block Joe... I will give that a try when I get in. This revolver would mis fire now and then before the spring broke (I've ...

Hillbilly

If I read this right>>> Marbles still has some old style stems in stock?

I have a old W1 and have been searching high and low for the stem for 3 years now.

ANY body know anyone who can repair those old flip up express sights?

Hillbilly

Well my hammer spring showed up. Friday evening past, we spent a couple of hours figuring out how to drift the anchor -grip pin out and get the leaf spring back into the grip frame and under the hammer ledge. (I really don't know how they did that on a timed production line... Colt must have had a &...

Hillbilly

the time and place will not be of your choosing. Get whatever your state allows to make yourself "legal"... and do it. I never was a proponent of "off body carry"... first off- you have to find the gun if you need it... and if your not in control of it... some one else could be. ...

Hillbilly

Trade it for a Marlin... those are D&T for optical carry handles. 44 mag... stick with a good soft point bullet.... it's a 75 yard woods gun (a learned shooter can probably stretch that range if needed) Do as you please... but if I really intended to make a 200 yard shot... we'd be getting out t...

I will stay in irons as long as I can too. My distant vision is better than 20/20 with contacts... but those really ruin my near vision. 51, bifocals, astigmatism and my near vision has been sketchy for a few years now... come from a long line of early bifocal wearers.

Hillbilly

Yea...now I LIKE EVERYTHING. I have been shooting a local, montly, defensive pistol match the last several months. It's a non sanctioned match... a hybrid IPSC-IDPA format that favors CCW type weapons. Skeet shooting is a little hard to find around here--- so we replace one addiction with another. S...

Hillbilly

I had one for a while... shot ok (as good as some of the single sixes with the wrong bore size).

If I still had a bunch of kids to teach... another one would be in my safe. Rather shoot up a $125 beater.. than wear out my good New Frontier.

Hillbilly

Yea... you guys are getting old....

A kind word and a gun? Heck... a pretty girl and a gun probably trumps that!

I knew a guy who knew a guy who made a golf ball mortar, powered by Black Cat firecrackers... :roll: Years ago we were wiring two mid-rise towers. 3/4 EMT conduit, some plumbers fittings, air compressor, drywall screws and cone shaped paper cups.... enough said. We would shoot the "blow darts&q...

I expect this version to be a little bit darker. True Grit (v1) was supposed to make you feel good... the wrongs were righted, everyone gets a happy ending (except Glen Campbell who takes one for the team). Daemon can act. I always like Campbell's music... but a card board cutout could have out done...

Been there... I have 3 guns that stay in those hard plastic cases... I really need to mark them.

Showed up at a quail feild one day... with the 11 87 instead of the much lighter 870 I have with a 21 inch barrel and English style stock. 12 bore is 12 bore... changed the choke tubes and got a work out!

A native once told me that if you spent 4 years at UND you would satisfy those "6 degrees of seperation" from the whole population in short order.

I had folks down in the very SW corner of the state near Medora. Good people, work and education are a virtue there.

Hillbilly

my guy here in OKC says to keep the verbals down to "name rank and serial number"... Doug figures most of the folks he's worked with on shootings get kinda chatty... and that works against them when other details come into play in the days following the shooting.

Hillbilly

That saddle horn pattern shows up on a lot of 1880-90's Texas built saddles. Any idea were that photo was taken?

If he's not a law man, he could be full time help-like a ranch foreman or something. Who knows?--- but it's a neat photo.

I am told that Austin is close to good hunting and fishing. The problem is ... there is very little public land in Texas. Leasing or falling in with some folks with a lease is about the only way to hunt Texas. Oklahoma is nearly as bad for lack of public land. There is a lot to do in Texas. Dallas/F...

I am cheap... my handguns are stowed in oily old cotton socks ( like for my feet socks)... The socks are what I finish wiping the guns down with before I store them in the lock box or safe so they all have some Break Free or Remoil residue all over them. Got to be careful with those gun rugs... seen...

3 hours stuck on I35 this morning. We are soggy but good here. Most of the deep water was in the North side of OKC- South side and west of Ednond got some high water also It's supposed to rain the next few days. My grass WAS looking a little brown.... so much for asking for a little rain eh? :roll:

Hillbilly

I had a Red Letter 250 around for a little bit. Shame... sometime in it's past some one had PAINTED the gun with some sort of black paint... ugly but functional. Good shooter... accurate with the issued iron sights. The one I had would hang up a little if the gun was tilted sideways during cocking.....

Rolling Rock used to be a local beer in PA or Ohio... Bud must have bought them up since I last saw any (been awhile).

There was another East Coast brew called Mickey's.... we would save that for when the good stuff was gone.

Hillbilly

Tried just about all the domestics and Mexican beers over the years.... Those rank from OK to "let's have another".

Bud---- (and wines with sulfides) all give me a killer headache....... I pass on all Bud products.

Thousands of those glass negatives (especially from the US Civil war and later) got recyled back in the old days... glazing for "hot houses". Potted plants thriving--- as the images faded in the light.... eventually broken and swept away.

I have heard that a few rural agencies still allow the SAA for carry in the West, Southwest parts of the US. Not problem with the caliber... a 357 is a 357.. but the SAA is slow to reload if you have to. 45 Colt would be a decent choice also. Keep in mind the 1911 is a "traditional western gun&...

back in the late 70's I accumulated several bargain priced Colt SAA's at yard sales and estate auctions in West Tennessee. During the early 80's I got strapped for cash and ended up sell all of them "short". None were showcase pistols... but any one of the 7 would be worth more today than ...
