I guess what throws/confuses my buddy & I is the fact that most of you gentlemen will not hesitate to sing the praises of Rossi or Taurus Braztech lever guns but seem to think that neither of those manufactures can produce a reliable revolver...I have only owned S&W and Colt revolvers hence...

I was looking at j-frame S&Ws, along with the off-brands, a few weeks ago. I remarked to the salesman that I didn't see how he ever sold one of the off-brands while S&Ws were only $40-$50 more. He said they were a tough sale with that small a difference. I would never send my daughter or wif...

Interesting story. I had the same issue with a Uberti Cattleman revolver in .45 Colt. About the third session of shooting, I noticed the sights didn't look right. Like your experience, I found that I could screw it out of the frame with my fingers. There was also something wrong with the trigger. It...

In a cold water creek. Our little Church on the banks of Whitewater Creek about 100 miles South of Atlanta has been Baptizing new believers in the creek for 110 years now. Our current pastor has been here for 32 years. He and I shoot together. We are both believers in the Gospel and in .45ACP 1911 p...

Is $35 to $40 per 1000 the new normal price for "name brand" primers?
That is what I've been able to find at a couple of places I normally buy components.
I have had better luck finding large pistol primers than I have small pistol.

Very thin population here in NE OK. Lots of reasons but I have watched as a cattle egret at every chick in a hatch. Not much we can do about that 'cause they're "protected". Brush hogs may be their greatest enemy as the fence rows were their best cover. Now I see some local ranchers havin...

Mr. Robert White surveying his domain. I was riding a fence line on the golf cart when Bob fluttered up and "lit" on the fence. The hen and her brood could be heard dispersing through the grass. These are some of God's most wonderful little birds. The male helps raise the brood, and will e...

My favorite ever, and I can't find a picture right now, was a 1968 Toyota Land Crusher with a 327 Chevrolet engine. I had an old tractor seat mounted on the hood for quail hunting with dogs. As one fellow said, "If I had enough chain, I could pull up Hell." Got in a tight for money and sol...

It looks really nice, but in S.

Restored barn/shack/dwelling/cotton house, now reloading room. Located on my wife's homeplace. I guess the building pre-dates the War of 1861-65.

Is there a firearm as handy as a "Trapper" length levergun? If there is, I don't know about it. My latest two Trappers are Rossis. I bought the .357 used and the SS .45 Colt new. I have been shooting the .45 lately, and it is just about the handiest thing I have ever seen. Packs a punch wi...

I cut an H&R down to 20 inches. It rides behind my pickup seat with a box of 50 #8 birdshot and a 15-pack of 00 Buckshot. It is the ultimate always there firearm. Deadly on everything from snakes to armadillers to escaped felons. I take it out and clean it a couple of times every year. In this h...

Nothing wrong with those pictures. Nothing wrong with the rifle, either.
It looks like a good example of the finest field grade .22 ever made.
Congrats on your acquisition. My two are from the early 60s.

Since The Great .22 Long Rifle Ammo Shortage of 2013 has been raging, I decided to gather together all the loose ammo, partially filled boxes, and hidden away in glove boxes, ditty bags, and range bag .22 ammo I knew was "around here somewhere." So far, I have come up with over 1000 rounds...

Last LP primers I bought cost me $39 plus tax, which comes to roughly $41.50. Too much, I know, but now I got them, so it doesn't matter what i paid. :wink: I like to keep 15K of each (LP and SP) ahead. That brought me back up to snuff. I fear that in five years we might look back fondly at the days...

No telling how many rounds of Golden Bullets I have shot in my various Marlin 39s, S&W K-22s, Kit Guns, and Ruger Single Sixes. I believe the Golden Bullets came out in 59 or 60, didn't they?

earl, you're giving me a bad case of seller's remorse here. :( Actually, I'm glad to see the Savage in the hands of someone who will use it and appreciate it. I don't guess I ever "shot groups" with it. It was strictly a hunting rifle. I never loaded for rifles, only for .38/.357 and .45 C...

Do you have a number where I could order one of those if I can save that much up?

The thing is, I can easier afford a $500 rifle now than I could a $124 rifle back then.

I rode in a Piper PA-17 Vagabond and a Cessna 170-B back in the late 60s. Took instruction in a J-3 Cub. Owned an Aeronca Chief and a Piper Super Cub Trainer in the early 70s.

Larkbill, did you ever make it up to Butler? About 75 miles north of Albany on US 19. That is my home town and the location of probably the biggest gun store in Georgia.

A 9 grain Unique/250 grain SWC .45 Colt load is pleasant to shoot from a Ruger single action or a Winchester Trapper, and will hole a 160 lb GA whitetail through and through from either gun.
