Steve, I do have all his paperwork and will have to dig it up. He never married, ran a junk yard and with him I was the end of the line. He was my mothers only brother, however I had many in the war on dads side of the family. Without pulling everything out, as memory serves, he was in field artille...

Booger Bill

Steve those are nice. Looks like the rifle has about a 1 1/2" longer pull? If browning / jap or rossi would make the 65 copy with .357, I will be at the head of the line! Why dont they? They could sell all they could make!

Booger Bill

Thats the one I wish I would have bought! Instead I got the short blue carbine. Not bad, but I really wanted the short rifle with octogon barrel and CCH. I am a big guy and the carbine is too short. I did put on the slip on pad you recommended to help the length of pull. I made two huge mistakes on ...

This 1890 winchester in .22 wrf already had some customiseing done to it when I bought it 35 years ago, so I had it rechambered to .22 wmrf.

Booger Bill

Reminds me of that wanda jackson song, "This gun doesnt care who it shoots!"
By the way, why would air crewmen find a need to carry a cocked and unlocked pistol in a bomber???

Booger Bill

This is also a "42". My uncle was a glider guy in the 82nd AB and brought this back and gave it to me just before he died.

Booger Bill

Nice! I worked in yosemite for 6 months back in 1960 as a "blister rust checker" and fire fighter. It was the best 6 months of my life!

Booger Bill

His name was Ken Paradee, pairade (spelling?) We were guards for lockheed at palmdale california. I belive he originaly was from around Vancover B.C. I retired in 2000 and left the area. He died at work back in about 1983?

Booger Bill

Years ago I worked with a guy that was in the canadian army durring world war two. I cant vouch for his story as I wasnt there, but here it is. He said he and his buddys had taken cover in a house and he was standing watch out of a window at night. He said a kraut lobbed a grenade through the window...

Booger Bill

How old is he?

Booger Bill

I yam embarassed, I shoulda noticed that!

Booger Bill

The hardest thing to explain is the rig. Must be a concession for poseing that he doctored up. Otherwise he strikes me as being freshly out of the cavary, and someone in a booming mineing camp wanted to take his picture when he rode through. Also he is left handed unless the negative is turned around?

Booger Bill

After close to 60 years of handeling guns I think I made my biggest boo boo yesterday. I went to the range with two colt single actions. One in .45 colt and the other in .44 special. I shot a clyinder full of .44 special in the 45 colt. No harm done, actualy they didnt shoot real bad. They key holed...

Booger Bill

I have wondered about that forever too joe! How about shooting in a hail storm?

Booger Bill

I would stick with the heavier 240 grain. Isnt that what all the old guns were designed for?

Booger Bill

I have been to that site a few times. Years ago I worked with a guy who said his wifes mother was killed when the dam broke.

Booger Bill

Steve, I think I paid close to $700s for this one in .308 three years ago. Its a 1957 and I would say 95%. I have since put on a leopold. The trigger is heavier than I like.

Booger Bill

Sounds a lot like utah where we live. We moved here in febuary 2005. I went for my permit and was also surprised that there was no range time. I was all ready to shoot. I did have to qualify on my job for 35 years prior. Besides getting fingerprinted and a background check the class was just listeni...

Booger Bill

Thanks. Dr. Jason Hunt did it at the Huntsman cancer hospital in salt lake city. I think I had three operations. It was a lot harder on my wife than me. She had to do all the nurseing and looking at me.

Booger Bill

I took out my new rossi puma in .357 and my browning 92 in .44mag together today. I have had the browning in the back of the safe for a eon. It was a windy day here and I didnt give them a fair test. I didnt have a good target stand and the targets kept blowing down. Not a day to brag about. However...

Booger Bill

This was probley two months after surgery. You dont want to see the earlier ones. The secound one is close to how I look now, but before I broke my nose again. It all started with a pimple that wouldnt heal! As a boy in wisconsin I worked in the fields, hunted and fished etc with no protection. http...

Booger Bill

You dont want to hear this: I had a pimple size sore on my nose that wouldnt heal way back in 1985. It was basil cell carnimalnia? Not to worry, wont kill me etc. I got a small piece taken off about ever year and a half or so. About 13 times, maybe more. Than three years ago they changed their tune....

Booger Bill

Pokey, no, my barrel was straight.

Booger Bill

I had the problem with a ruger old army. Not on a pair of repro colt navys I had. I never shot the colt 1860s I showed, but I have shot my remington new model army with no problem.

Booger Bill

Depends on the time frame and location. My first impression was influanced by you calling him a "mountain man". From that stand point, the rifle is wrong as is the spurs and boots and leggings. Also no knife. It is a studio picture, the guy does look like he has been out awhile with the be...

Booger Bill

I have this original 1858 new model remington .44. It was refinished many years ago before I bought it as it had a very old king red post front sight. Also someone squared the rear hog wallow. It shoots great. Sorry, it says my picture is too big to post.

Booger Bill

I use to own this pair of colts. Think they were U.S. 125 th year cavary commemratives.

Booger Bill

pokey, I just now seen your picture and post on your converted 92. Except for the front sight and wear, that gun looks like the same rifle I had converted in the early 70s in california. I stupidly sold it at a gun show. Just wondering if it found its way to washington?!

Booger Bill

I always liked it when those good looking mexican gals got on a table and did the fandangle with those clicker things going while they were stomping! That leads me to this observation. In those old westerns taken below the border, the women usualy look like wonder woman, and the males look like hung...

Booger Bill

I worked at it pretty hard years ago. With just a little luck you stand a fair chance of finding some other relatives researching the same names then sort of pool your info. The biggest best tool is the morman site. I live in utah and have never been in a morman church. One great grand father of min...

Booger Bill

He might be poseing to tell others dont get to close to that knife like I did here!

Booger Bill

I am guessing 1912-1919. He obvisualy is hamming it up, no one would carry a bare knife stuck in their belt for long like that. A young early day adventurer came home to ma and pa,s place and posed.

Booger Bill

Handgun: Luger in .45 acp.
Rifle: Thompson model 1928A1
Shotgun: Parker bros. Double

Booger Bill

I usualy dont save boxs. Back in about 1986 I somehow managed to buy one of the first generations winchester 63. It was brand new in the plastic box and that also in the cardboard outer box with even the hanging tag etc. It probley left the factory in 1955 or 56. I stashed it in the garage. One day ...

Booger Bill

Let me try again, I evidently didnt explain the situation right. We checked in, paid cold cash for two nights. After the first night the wife found the bed too hard. We never asked for a refund for that night. We simply didnt want to stay the 2nd night and that morning told them early enough that we...

Booger Bill

My wife and I paid two nights cash in advance, at the "Sleep Inn" at Thornton, Colorado night before last. The wife couldnt sleep at all due to a hard bed and extreem past back trouble in the past. (Wheelchair to walker a few years ago). Yesterday morning she complained to the desk man, he...

Booger Bill

I once owned a heavy "buffalo" rifle. It was a whitneyville armory. It looked like a large oversized remington rolling block. It was 50 caliber "something". Probley 50-90 or 50-100. The beast weighed about 12 pounds, heavy octogon barrel. It had quite a few slots on top of the ba...

Booger Bill

Another thing I dont like is in most westerns the way they wear their gun rigs. I dont know how they can walk three steps without loseing them. In the very old authentic pictures they wore them high up and tight around their waist exactly like we do now. I use to get a kick out of the way some femal...

Booger Bill

Just the opposite to the above, watching someone get hit and going through all kinds of antics before dropping and dieing. Havent people seen at least actual historic moving pictures of people shot or exicuted in old historic war and pre war films of japanese exicuteing chinease, or germans shooting...

Booger Bill

Griff, not to nit pick, but colt had some .357s in the saa even earlier, prior to world war two.

Booger Bill

Those are those bumper cars from fairs in the 40s and 50s?

Booger Bill

First I think we have to define what a "simple life" is to ourselves. I think it can vary bigtime! I was raised in rual wisconsin in the 40s. I think I was raised in the simple life and didnt know it. I remember the outhouse, carrying water, folks raiseing vegables and selling it in a road...

Booger Bill

I dont know what the remodeled gun is worth, but get real, it aint worth $5,000s, but I would give a whole lot of .50 cent pieces for it. That gun looks to me like a real professional gunsmith did it and I think he knew what he was doing. I had a similar winchester 92 octogon barreled rifle done ove...

Booger Bill

You got me there Buck! Sometime ago on this site I wrote about a 1851 navy .36 colt at the museum at oshkosh wisconsin that was taken off cole younger on their way to northfield. In the flap of the holster was burned engraved, "From Maj Quantrill to C younger!

Booger Bill

slamfire, mine says rossi on the barrel, braziltec on the tang, rossi 92 lever on the box and in smaller letters on the end of the box says made by taurs for rossi braziltec. Back in the early 70s I had a winchester 92 octogon barreled rifle in shot -out 25-20 I had since a kid in the mid 50s. I had...

Booger Bill

$649s ??? I just gave $367.91 + $22.26 tax for total of $390.17 for mine NIB last month from cal ranch store here. Mine is a 20" blue, not case hardined. Maybe it wasnt moveing or something. Think I did get a cut for some reason.

Booger Bill

I have the same book signed by keith to me that I ordered many years ago too. Does that make it worth a lot more? I also have a nice large offical white house photo numbered on the back, of president nixon also autographed to a secret service agent. Wonder what that is worth? My aunt rented a store ...

Booger Bill

I also just bought one recently and posted about it today on another thread. Steve sells a CD on working on your 92. I am also thinking of buying one from him and a few parts. I am going to shoot mine a little first to see what it needs before I jump. For me, being a big guy, I found out I needed a ...
