That's cool. Thank you for taking the time to share. You'll appreciate you did that later on. I've got to say, the coveralls you're wearing look like you should of drug'em through the dirt first and then washed'em cause they look brand new. Y'all don't wear'em like your relatives did, probably ever...

Looks to me as though you've confused the makers, that's a Winchester Model 12, the singles look like Iver Johnsons but, they might be marked differently for the hardware store market. The double, I don't know... That's an interesting photo concept. I think you see too few of these. Neat. You are p...

Rube Burrows

Nice rifle, I have never heard of or seen one before.

I'll have to check out Paco's article.

Mine is a 45 - love it! Tutt gave me some loads that have a 360 Keith coming out at 1350. There is an actor that looks like your dad but I don't recall his name. Spent one summer in Louisiana - Fort Polk and Lake Charles. I would love to get that load data if you dont mind. Forgot to say.....yes th...

Great shots there Rube, thanks for the history and the labels. Always nice to know the folks here. Where is the still? What caliber is your 92? There is actually some old parts of the still that is still in the woods there. Next time I go back to my dads I will try to shoot some pics for everyone. ...

Im really not sure what he is holding. It does look like it was well used though.

Thanks, we enjoyed doing it. Who dont like taking pics with their guns?

Rube Burrows

Well, we have a photo of my great grandfather and his brothers all holding their rifles that was made on the early 30s. No lever action rifles in the original which surprised me since my grandfather had an old 94 that he loved dearly. We took care of that problem in the new pics. This is that origin...

Well my Birthday is not till Feb. 12 but I kindly thank you for the birthday wishes.

Now.....anyone know what President I share a birthday with?

You may not get an answer on the MCPD provinance, even if that department happens to have an armorer - since it might be a one-off, i.e. a confiscated or recovered firearm kept & marked for dept use. . Very true. A town like Morgan City would be lucky if they knew what they carried today. :mrgr...

Rube Burrows

Would love to see some pics.

Rube Burrows

Man, that is a beautiful calendar. I will be getting one for myself and maybe one for my father also. Makes a great Xmas gift.

Rube Burrows

The owner said that he was just told that it was police used.....but has nothing to back it up. That is just the story he got. Said it came from the Morgan City Police Department and was purchased in the 80s. I guess I could call the department and try to find out if they did in fact use them.

Rube Burrows

Thanks for your input.

Rube Burrows

some pics.

Rube Burrows

Thanks. The carving is not the worst looking thing I have seen.

Rube Burrows

pretty good western...always liked James Garner...and Sam Shepard but it does not compare to the original Lonesome Dove... I have to rank Lonesome Dove on top Return to Lonesome Dove second Streets of Laredo third Dead Mans Walk fourth and Camanche Moon fifth have yet to see the "outlaw years&...

There is a Winchester 94 made in 1962 for sale locally in fair condition.....shows signs of use but not a beater. Bluing is still there but worn in places. The stock was carved years ago with what is believed to be the police departments initials. Without a pic.....what would be a good price for thi...

Rube Burrows

Pretty nice rifle. Did you find it locally or buy it online?

Rube Burrows

Nice rifles....I esp like photos that are made to look older.

Rube Burrows

Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone else on the board also.

Rube Burrows

Job well done. Nice deer and yote

Rube Burrows

Ummmm.....pretty nice looking 66

Rube Burrows

Nice looking and shooting rifle.

Rube Burrows

Well I got a warm welcome and therefore feel its only right to welcome another new guy here....even though you have been lurking longer.

Welcome

Rube Burrows

That 92 with the octagon barrel on it is one of my favs. Its so slick and you can work the lever with one finger tip. Its very accurate also. I have only shot .38 out of it since I have had it but it does really well.

Rube Burrows

I also have a 45Colt lever gun also but cant seem to find any good hunting rounds for it around here. Good morning This is why reloaders and bullet casters are still around- I never lack ammo for any firearm, any caliber I decide to use. If I decide to roll out the 45-60 I have everything in hand. ...

Joey, Which part of Louisiana is your home? It sounds like I am not far from you. Shawn I am living in the Slidell/Pearl River area. Where are you at? Joey: Nice collection of leverguns! I especially like your octagonal barrelled 94. Most of my family is in south Louisiana. My mother and older sist...

Rube Burrows

Joey, I am in Lacombe, very close to Slidell, just off of Highway 190 (Gause) @ the Flea Market. I am so close to Slidell that some people have told me that Slidell is just across the street. Shawn When I was not living in Alabama I actually lived in Pine Grove which is right there by the flea mark...

I reload for the .45 Colt so that would not be a problem. I have not started reloading for the .357 yet. I need to but have just not got to it yet.

My son can hold the .357 rifle I have a little more steady than the .45 but both he can handle just fine.

Rube Burrows

Thanks JReed and kimwcook

Rube Burrows

I have met some pretty nice and helpful people here who have talked to me and helped me with different questions I may have had. I found this board to be full of nice people because other boards that I have been on have been more geared towards only the much older rifles and not so helpful for Post...

Rube Burrows

Yep.....Turkey day is almost here. Cant wait. Hunting, football and food......sounds like a pretty good week.

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Rube Burrows

Nice collection!! Happy hunting with your son, time well spent and always remembered. I agree. We have been hunting for most of his life now. He has killed lots of rabbits and squirrel. He even got him a pretty nice (and fat) fox last year in north Alabama on my dads property. http://i292.photobuck...

Rube Burrows

Very nice collection! good photos also. Welcome again if I missed you the first time. :wink: Thanks for the welcome everyone. I never really introduced myself before. That is why I took the time to do so now. I have a few threads for a couple projects im working right now but never did the intro th...

Rube Burrows

Did you already know him? How did you know it was him? Just curious.....cause on a local board here we have here in Louisiana they make their own shirts and we sometimes wear them to gun shows.....helps up pick out other members. Didnt know if there was shirts for this forum or not.

Rube Burrows

He sure does some beautiful work.

Rube Burrows

Ben T.....that is a very pretty rifle you have there. Thanks for the info also.

That is a good looking rifle.

Im getting my son the .243/20 gage combo. His first rifle was a .22 chipmunk and then I got him a Rossi .410/.22 that he has been using for squirrel and rabbit and other critters.

Nice. We have been practicing his shooting and shot placement. Maybe he will get lucky enough to bag him his first deer.

Got the Barrel and forend cap in yesterday from Numrich. Everything looks pretty good with the exception of about a half inch scrape where the barrel is missing the bluing. Not that big of a deal. Should easily cover with possibly some touch up blue. I have my receiver all ready to ship off and get ...

Rube Burrows

So....any of you guys use a .357 mag to hunt with? My son is nine and we are going hunting for thanksgiving on my fathers 250 acres in N. Alabama. He is finally getting big enough to use a gun with enough power to kill a deer. He will be getting a .243/20 Gage H&R for Christmas but till then he ...
