When I was a boy my dad told me if you cant think of what to say when your in trouble, just tell the truth. It`s worked for me.

That Luscombe was the first plane I solo`d in. Does give you a good perspective of the fire. Thanks for the lead.

I was just a company security guard 1965 to 2000. Started in Burbank and transferred to Palmdale in 1969. They closed the original Burbank plant about 1972. I believe I still hold the #1 badge for all time length of seniority. I worked straight for Lockheed as a "inhouse" guard, meaning no...

In 1966 I gave $1,000 for this 1963 Harley. I figure I put over 100,000 miles on it and sold it about 1978 for about the same. Trouble is the poor guy I sold it to got killed on it shortly. I used to practically live on it. Point is if you buy right, take care of whatever and keep it long enough you...

I gave $1,500 for this 1964 Harley in about 1979. I kept it about two years and sold it for $2,500. Then about a year or two later I seen it in the paper and the guy I sold it to was asking $10,000! I had a couple other harleys or wouldn't have sold it. That little girl just had her 40th birthday a ...

1964 I was working in west virginia. I seen a beautiful old Mercedes benz coupe, boxy like a model A with suicide doors. Cant recall the year or model but recall they were asking $800`s. I almost bought it but had no way to haul it home. It was on the street in some small town. I only seen another p...

I worked for Lockheed in Burbank starting in 1965. Tony Levier, the test pilot that first flew the P-38 was still there plus I knew other pilots that flew them both testing and in combat. One guy that was used to flying the P-38 told me he was given a P-51 to fly and on the first turn on his first f...

I ran across a guy on the net that does it for a living. He also is a light sport pilot and posts many interesting videos all about flying. I will post a lead to one and you probably can see a ton of other flying videos off that one. Sounds like he got into it early and does or makes flying views fr...

If we all could go back in time we would end up super rich, but so would everyone else. Then who would do our roofing and work at the tire store? First, I would buy a old farm that had a good barn and storage buildings. Then I would hunt up old cars, trucks and motorcycles that I knew would become p...

I worked 6 months for the Wisconsin state conservation dept in 1962. I was temporary, if they kept you over 6 months they had to make you permanent back then and maybe now? It was the same in the NPS when I worked there in 1960 Yosemite and the Grand Tetons in 1961. I just did dirty grunt work all t...

Think about it. Every encounter a warden has with a hunter, the customer is armed. Not so with all other leo in their stops. I did get in one deal years ago when I worked in Yosemite NP as a grunt, (not a ranger). My boss was driving. We came around a curve at the glacier point turn off. I couldn't ...

Mike, I don't know if this following story is true but I believed the guy. I was a Lockheed company guard in california. There was a real wild tough talking employee there that gave trouble to other workers. Other guards had trouble with him and him with them but for whatever strange reason the guy ...

Here`s my story on that post: It was the last hour of the last day of the deer season. My dad had placed me on the edge of a marsh about the required 100 yards off the road, and walked on. I was hunched down sitting screened by some brush. I seen a hunter walking on the road to his vehicle. He stopp...

The law I believe in wisconsin was 12 years old to hunt with a gun. That was when I started out in 1953. I tagged along with my dad a year or two before that. When I was about 14 another deer hunter emptied his rifle at me! I left home and haven't hunted back there in almost 60 years so dont know th...

In 1962 I worked for the wisconsin state conservation dept for a short while. I was checking catches on opening day. Three guys were walking towards the lake with a bunch of poles and fishing tackle. They seen me walking towards them about 70 yards away carrying my steel notebook. It was comical. Th...

77.7 here. Just got out of a 5 day hospital stay. That part of getting old sucks. I like life though.

I have heard the same story a number of times about Bat Masterson, Jesse James mother selling guns to tourist`s that she claimed had been Jesse`s etc. I think sometimes once a story is told it fits in nicely with other figures. Who really knows? Gun collectors are the most doubing persons in the wor...

How would you like to look at that over your cheerio`s every morning?

I haven't ever heard her deny the story. Wouldn't most normal people deny such accusations were they not so?

I have packed J frames for 47 years. First was a model 60, the longest but it was stolen along with my truck. Then I bought a used/new looking model 40 to replace it and I occasionally belt carry a 3" model 36. In the picture also is a model 34 (22 LR) I don't carry that one for defense. http:/...

On that first picture: About two years ago I was driving on a curvy mountain road above Beaver Utah and the vehicle pictured had a identical twin that got in front of me and wouldn't pull over. We followed that thing for something like 15 miles at about 20 mph!

Back in the mid-late 50`s my dad and I got into bows and deer hunting. My dad was 6ft 5" and thought because he was so big he should get a heavy bow. He bought a used 90 lb bow! A friend of his came to the house and dad flexed the bow to show him. I wasn't home but dad said the bow busted in th...

Thanks for that answer. I had forgot posting the question and just run across this. Okay I understand the function but why is it hated so much? Does it adversely affect the action smoothness and trigger pull or what?

I have a very early contender. Mine came with a factory fitted wood case and has the silver butt plate that is for engraving your name or whatever. Mine came in .45 colt-.410 with a detachable muzzle brake or shot straightener and wrench. Somewhere along the line I picked up a .256 Winchester mag ba...

I have been sleeping in a cave the last 40 years or so. I own 4 old Winchester levers plus a couple 92 clones. I keep reading about the rebounding hammers, truth is I really don't understand just what they are but do know no one likes them. What is it all about?

Booger Bill

Why would you want a suppressor on that type of a rifle?

We live around Cedar City Utah. You can usually spot three or so deer kills every day if you drive much around here. Do deer whistles really work well? I was raised in Wisconsin and I knew some people used them but thought they really just a gimmick. A few years ago I hit a small fawn on a trail wit...

I wrung my hand and forearm through a wringer, swinging the wringer around and slightly engaging so it would chatter shooting krauts. Folks couldn't afford a doctor or X ray so took me to a shoe store and had me put my arm in one of those X ray machines mentioned. Now it glows in the dark! Someone m...

This had to start many years ago probably with military guns. Most had two versions such as the long and short barreled versions of Sharps, Springfield etc. Short for the cavalry and long for the ground pounders. Simple as that.

I bought my 94 new in about 1955 or 1956. Was 14 or 15 years old. Shot a few deer with it. One was about 220 yards, outlined on a ridge high above me in a wet snow storm. Soon as I bought it I had a Williams foolproof put on and a pad for LOP as I was a big kid. I have never had to readjust the sigh...

I have some Smiths too. I wouldn't exactly call that 586 a beater and personally I wouldn't refinish it but it`s yours.

I like those small jars of pickled herring but they give me the gout. Sour but once you start with the first you cant stop. Loved them from a kid up.

Now all you need is a $200 scope and $800`s worth of ammo. Dont forget the battery's for that flashlight if you still have a couple bucks left. Got gas?

Years ago I had a close friend that was a army ranger in Nam, was a NEW christian and was a survivalist to the max. One day I said, Ski, you believe in God and are a survivalist. I said isn't a christian suppose to believe God will protect them in the last days? He thought for a second and said, &qu...

I think my 1956 94 30/30 holds 6. I haven't often bothered to load that many. Years ago when I was a kid in Wisconsin I recall seeing quite a percentage of 94`s with the mag tube cut back for weight and speed of handling to hold about three. That`s all you need 99.9 % of the time unless it`s red dawn.

On this site I am known as Booger Bill. On another site I am "Bogus Bill". I think I should patent that name before a more deserving see`s it. Maybe they ought to call him "Kill Bill".

I haven't read all the posts above so some of my opinions might be redundant. I have had 92`s in .357 and .44 mag. I still own my model 94 I bought new in 1956 in 30/30. The .357 is a sweetheart to shoot. In the same light carbine the .44 mag not as much. On my 94 I have a Williams foolproof and the...

The .380 is a puzzling cartridge to me. The size of the little pea shooter in relationship to what it does in surprising. I have on at least four occasions now bought and let go of various guns in .380. My last gun I bought is a Sig 238. I have owned a beautiful old Colt .380 from the 1920`s, a Brow...

That`s taking a spare seriously. When I was a kid in the early 1950`s I had a 1946 Whizzer motorbike. They were a bicycle with a 4 HP engine. Someone told me they seen a guy traveling coast to coast with a pair of them bolted together. When one got hot he would get on the other. http://www.whizzermo...

I have a Browning 92 in .44 mag. A Winchester 94 30-30 I bought new about 1956 and a Rossi 92 in .357 mag. The Rossi 92 in 357 mag is the sweet heart to shoot. Quite a difference between it and .44 mag. I suppose the best gun if you could find one would be the Browning 92 in .357 mag but they are us...

1960 Yosemite I was on a bug spray crew for awhile. We had a mule packer that would leave cans of spray in the woods for us. For a short while it was a good life. We had a tent camp in the high country about a 8 mile hike from Tioga Pass. Maybe 10 of us with a cook. My sprayer leaked. I was wearing ...

So sorry. The other day here I was out to the airport and met a pilot for the BLM on predator control. They fly a I think, Carbon Cub. They got some. It`s a art. Close to the ground flying and the shooter in the back seat has to be careful not to hit the prop or any other part of the plane. They use...

Did all Indians holler war hoops in falsetto? How come they only smiled when they were skinning someone alive? How come the few that could talk spoke the kings English better than a university English major? Did all Indians mount a horse on the right side?

"The Apostile" was my favorite. He was great in all movies I have seen.

I have a bunch of rifles, more modern bolts etc, but truth is I shot more with my old 94 that I bought new in 1956 when I was 15.
