Re: Wild West Gun Co-pilot range report

Do you folks that have one, have any opinion as to the shootability and accuracy of either. I am going to buy a 1894 not CB or rebarrel a .44 to .45 and wan...

OT Clements last DA

I see an occasional post about handguns so thought I would add one more. David Clements on 1 Dec 2007 quit working on double actions, suggesting everyone go to Bowen. I think I got mine to him the last couple days of November, didn't even know about the upcoming cutoff date. In any event this was th...

Lonesome Dove

Read the post heading and immediately the picture of Gus slapping that bartender with his Walker popped into my head. Still my favorite television production of all time.

Marlin 336 44 Mag

This has probably been discussed before but I just found one of these rifles. It seems to me that it is a favored model due to the round bolt design. Could all you folks remind me why I should pick this rifle up instead of a 1894 in 44 Mag.

Thanks Ron

This has been an amazing post. It is rare for a relatively new post to have this many replies. Love Texas, but being raised in El Paso, spent a lot of time in New Mexico. City of Rocks was our families own private play ground, dirt road off of Hwy 180 long before it got gravel and then became paved....

Randall knives

I have five. Two #1's seven inch, one #3 five inch, one #11 4.5 inch and a fake Randall. The fake is made of a Randall blade blank that was supposedly made by AG Russell. The stamping is not as good the blade is not shaped the style of the #11 it is supposed to be, but the metal is still great. Havi...

All mentioned are terrific. But Hombre with Paul Newman and Richard Boone is on a level by itself. When Newman asks Boone "I got a question, how you gonna get back down that hill?", I watch the movie just to hear that line.
