Neat post Rube! :D Like C.Cash, I was also aware of that pic in the Guns & Ammo, "Guns of the Gunfighters". I still have it downstairs in the dungeon. If I remember, I'll take pics of the story and post it. Also, If I remember, that book could be older than you. :D BTW, Did you get yo...

I think they show as being in the outbox till the other person opens it. I could be wrong though.

Rube Burrows

Good looking guns.

In the book "The Life and Confession of the Noted Outlaw James Copeland", is a description of one of the Gangs favorite weapons; the slung shot. This was a lead ball with a hole drilled in the center and attached to the assassin's wrist with a short leather cord. The killer would hold the...

Dick Winters of Easy Company passed the 2 nd of Janurary , He and his men's story was told in the Band Of Brothers series. RIP. danny It saddens me to hear this. I cant believe its not on all of the major news networks. May he rest in peace. From what I understand, he didn’t want a public announcem...

Rube Burrows

What an interesting story. Would love to see pics of the little place it was found. Could you imagine finding such a well preserved time capsule? Man.......my imagination runs wild when I think of things like that. Just imagine who might have shot that gun......its like he handed it off straight to ...

Interesting. I will look for some info on them.

Very neat stuff...thanks for sharing those photos. I grew up staring at that picture of Rube Burrows holding that Marlin in his box(in Guns and Ammo "Guns of the Gunfighters"), so I knew who you were going for with your moniker right off. Man, I never got to see that Guns and Ammo. I'll h...

Im sure they didnt make the train ride home with all of the mob of people wanting to see him.

Rube Burrows

Its always fun to read about someone new. I have been contacting Guns of the Old West and True West for some time trying to get them to run a story on Rube. I guess he is not "West" enough for them. Maybe in the future they will.

Rube Burrows

Excellent! Thanks for sharing -- I really enjoyed reading it. I have been through Linden, AL, Demopolis, etc. many times, so it was interesting to read about his having been there. One doesn't seem to encounter too many tales of outlaws in MS, AL and GA, so it was a treat to read about these happen...

I would have to say that a gold inlaid and diamond encrusted Sterling .25 auto would be the most expensive. A runner up would be a Bersa .380, complete with "homey boy" sights that are mounted on the side of the slide.-----------Sixgun They have some of those rare treats in near by New Or...

Yep, basically it IS a Montado w/o the stippling on the front of the grip frame and knurling on the backstrap. I'd tell ya the rest of what I think, but Rube got a great deal on a coupla shooters, and if they fit his son's hands and he can shoot 'em and enjoy he game; then so much the better! I'd l...

Rube Burrows

I guess they look pretty good. Not sure how they would hold up over the years. I have never really cared for any recoil pads.

Rube Burrows

you ought to be here in florida shooting in the Last Stand SASS event with those... nice! I am about to start shooting again. Its been a year or maybe a little more since I actually did some SASS shooting. My son is old enough now to shoot and I have been getting together some guns for him to compe...

Rube Burrows

You done good. And, you tried to make it right with your dealer. That's the right thing to do and you did it. I'd enjoy those guns while I had the chance. Yeah, I really like this dealer and its just a mom and pops dealer. I was their first ever customer back when they first opened. I felt I had to...

Rube Burrows

And Pray tell xactly what was a deal U couldn't pass up ? 650.00 I was going to order a regular blued one a week a go and it would have been 529.00. I then went to my regular dealer and asked him to order me that same gun. He told me that he could get me the SASS pair for 529.00 his cost and would ...

Rube Burrows

Well today I seen a deal I could not pass up so I picked up a new Pair of the SASS Ruger New Vaqueros in .357 They are some pretty sweet six guns. http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af312/jwheeler331/Cowboy%20Stuff/DSCN0168.jpg http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af312/jwheeler331/Cowboy%20Stuff/DS...

Its not a purse.....its a European Shoulder Bag.

Rube Burrows

Wish I could help. I have been running Fire Fox for a few years and so far its been a dream.

Rube Burrows

Still a pretty neat gun that im sure any one of us would not mind owning. Looks great also.

Rube Burrows

I heard about this elsewhere and its a shame. I pray for the family and friends of the victim and hope that justice is served. My father was Chief of Police for many years in a small town in Alabama and as a kid it was one of my fears that he would have something such as that happen. Im thankful it ...

Rube Burrows

Where was that at? Not your feeder in TX was it?

Rube Burrows

You sure do find some interesting pics for us to look at.

Rube Burrows

I know how to do it but I ain't tellin'. It will inspire financially motivated unscrupulous individuals to unfairly replicate the age of antique guns. I only do it when absolutely necessary and never to enhance value to a false degree. I did it last month on a very small section of an 1840 Springfi...

Rube Burrows

Sorry to hear of the loss of both of your friends.....the man and the horse. Im sure they are both sorely missed. You did a good thing by taking on the horse. You were lucky to have eachother's friendship.

Rube Burrows

I like to see old guns like this. The owner prob. loved that gun and since they were tools and not looked at by the masses as collectibles he prob. wanted to add his personal touch to it. The end result is something that many years later has us talking about it and admiring it. Its always neat to lo...

Man, what a beautiful rifle.

Merry Christmas to all the nice people I have met here.....and the ones I have not. Hope everyone has a safe Christmas.

Remember the real reason of Christmas as you spend your day with your families.

My dear friends. This past year, I have spent many hours on this board, enjoying the fellowship of friends around this fire. The Lord has blessed me beyond measure this year. I am so happy Jerrry won the sharps. We talked earlier today and he is excited to get the sharps. This year, I will be start...

Rube Burrows

Looks great.

Rube Burrows

Pretty good looking gun. Now you have a gun that in 100 years people will look at it and wonder its story.

Rube Burrows

Man, that does suck about your luck. I have one....prob. a newer one and LOVE it so far.

Rube Burrows

I agree, Joe. Perspective, and the difference in which guns are treated nowadays, tells a different story than what our eyes tell us from the initial glance at those great old photos. Many of the "guns" are also fakes, cap pistols and BB guns. One of the last photos, the one with the buck...

I just got back from watching the new True Grit. It was okay, certainly entertaining, but flat. The movie appeared to more a series of well acted scenes, than an movie with a story holding it together. There were three flaws I couldn't get by, one was this: it is the job of the director to present ...

Rube Burrows

Just got back from seeing it. Clara and I love it. I think Hailee Steinfeld blew away the original Mattie Ross and Jeff Bridges definitely did the Rooster Cogburn character justice. I agree that Matt Damon was OK at best as Leboeuf. If you like westerns, you have to see it. Can you explain how you ...

Rube Burrows

I wont spoil it for anyone but I enjoyed it pretty good. It was filmed in TX in the winter mostly instead of Colorado therefore its more grimey and has more....well.....Grit. Dead trees with no leaves....instead of the fall Colorado. I was impressed with Jeff Bridges. After reading all of the review...

Rube Burrows

Lovely rifle.

Rube Burrows

Really nice photos. I enjoy seeing the old photos of men and their guns.
