PM'ed you the link.

Thanks for the link. Read it. All I can say is that EVERY organization has it's 10%. Unfortunately, they tend to get the spot light.

James Riley

Never saw the thread. As a Marine and a Lawyer, I'm curious.

Strike that. On the other hand, maybe I'm glad I didn't see it.

James Riley

Just my personal opinion, but esthetically, the 86 wins hands down.

James Riley

I remember several years ago some servicemen were busted for machine gunning a herd of deer from a helocopter outside of Colorado Springs. That'll put meat on the table. So will spot-lighting and poison. We all draw our lines in different places, but when it comes down to it, society draws the line ...

According to Madis: "some minor mechanical changes and the addition of a pistol grip and semi-bevertail fore end as standard, the model 71 is a continuation of the model 1886." . . . "Caliber 348, which had been developed for this model, was the only cartridge . . ." except some ...

True. Or as we call it when the cattle are fat: "On the farm slaughter."

James Riley

I don't call that hunting. To me, hunting is: 1. The art of locating that which is difficult to locate (that's why they call it "hunting"); and 2. Matching my basic predatory skills against a prey's senses. That guy could have been shooting a herford with no appreciable difference. There i...

I think it is untouched, it is missing toggle links, bolt , side plates,& magazine tube In my opinion, because of the missing magazine tube and side plates, and maybe because of the missing bolt, I'd feel free to restore it, replace the parts for a wall hanger, or part it out; any one of those....

James Riley

If it is all original and un-retouched then, in my opinion, the only question is what is missing? If it's a screw, that's one thing. If it's a stock, barrel, reciever or something major, that's another thing all together. Dirty old relics that won't shoot, with broken parts, but which still have goo...

Not enough. There's still about 6 billion left.

I agree

darn it! That ain't fair! No agreeing allowed!

With that, I'm going to drop this thread and never look back at it again. I am also going to stay with lever guns and non-controversial topics.

James Riley

Unforgiven. Hands down.

Bogie35, The fact is I sure as hell didn't cause their social problems and either did you. Our government did. And we benefit from it. You and I. We stand on that pile of bones I refered to above. But nobody is asking individuals, like you and me, to carry the burden. It's a government obligation. ...

Even if they got the Blackhills and other lands back, they would still fail. Most of them sit down on their butt on the reservation waiting for another handout. I have plenty of friends down there that are native and completly agree with my last statements. I disagree that they would fail, but I kn...

I dont have have big long thing to ad here, I am part Cherokee and Chickasaw (like many other of you I am sure). And there are times that I wish I could just live in the wilderness ala old time indian. But I have never understood why we ever even gave them treaties and reservations! As far as I am ...

Only if they took it in violation of their own laws, principles and honor.

James, welcome to the forum! Why, thank you! I posted more on the old forum (I started posting pictures of my Winchesters) but then they closed it down so I came back here. I am new, though. I promised myself I wouldn't get into these non-lever gun discussions when I joined up, but I guess I just d...

Good luck with that white guilt thing.... :roll: You make it sound like guilt is a vice. You'd think any conservative beliefs regarding the raising of kids with a conscience and personal moral direction would laud a feeling of guilt when benefiting from the wrongs of another. Indeed, to sit in the ...

James Riley

The sad thing is that there are many wrongs done by the U.S. concerning Indian Country. But the cold hard fact is they were made U.S. citizens in the 1920's and should thus intigrate with the rest of the country. The Pine Ridge Indian reservation is the poorest county in the Nation. There is 80% un...

Well.......I guess I'll back out of this one, James, you seem to have your mind made up. I'll stick with the United States against another government each and every time. My country right or wrong and all that goofy, knee jerk and red neck stuff :P Good luck with that white guilt thing.... :roll: I...

WHAT! :shock: James got to ask where you live and where did you grow up at?? :?: I would get better understanding of where you are coming from. I am irrellevent. It's the truth of the matter asserted that counts. But I will digress into a completely irrelevent topic that has absolutely nothing to d...

Doesn't apply. When we were losing the war to them, we sued them for peace and they accepted the treaty. We then breached it. We are in violation of our own laws and Constitution.

Might makes right.

If it doesn't, then the U.S. is gonna lose because it doesn't have a moral or legal (U.S. or International) leg to stand on.

But don't worry, because might does make right. We will continue doing what we've done since the Fort Laramie Treaty.

Here's the post I intend to post on the Stoeger/Uberti forum if I can ever get my account activated. I know, it's kind of windy, but . . . Iâ€™m looking at getting a Uberti 1866 Short Rifle. I have some questions. 1. If Uberti is the beginning of the pipeline, then everyone else is just an importer,...

Well, I didnâ€™t do it. I went and looked at the Uberti 1866 Short Rifle, .45 Colt that my wife was going to buy me for Christmas. However, it had a blemish on the stock, some play in the lever (side to side), some pay in the elevator when closed, and the hammer spring seemed weak. I have an 1866 ca...

I'm going to use this opportunity to complain. Yes, I like a nice gun store. I'd like one designed along the lines of an 1800's hardware store in Leadville, Colorado, only chock full of guns and leather. But that is not my complaint. My complaint is my wife sitting around watching QVC, and a so-call...

James Riley

Will do. I'm at the other place too. What's the difference? I thought this was a temp site for the main one that crashed and now it's back up? Or?

Anyway, I look forward to learning from you all.

James Riley

Thanks for the welcome. I will mosey on over.

James Riley

Howdy. Found you through a Winchester board where they were talking about your site being down and cited this as a temp.

I like 66s, 73s, and 86s, long octogon barrels, crescent butts, dark, flat wood and dark patina on old used guns. A little brass is nice too.

"Deer" family (elk), 1975, 30-30 at thirty feet, October 30th, through the neck.

First deer was 3X4 muley with a Rem. 700 BDL, 30-06. Since then, it's been muzzle loaders and long bows.

I did not buy the 66 today.
