looks perfect to me.... is that a trade blanket? I suppose that is what the blanket is supposed to represent and now that I think of it, I got it in a trade. It's a very thin wool with blanket stitching on the ends. Don't know the brand as there is not tag. I thought it might make a decent rifle co...

Thanks, Gamekeeper. I tried a new posting on a different topic and was successful. I found that when I used the drag and drop method, it posted a link. The place inline command worked fine. By the way...My Mom was from Banbury, Oxfordshire. She and Dad married while he was stationed in England. They...

As much as anything, I wanted to attempt attaching a picture to a post. I finished this holster and belt this week. In it is my Uberti '73 Colt clone, 5.5" barrel, 45LC. The gun has had a trigger job and a worn/antique finish applied. Shoots a bit high and to the right, but I really like shooti...

OK, I read all the posts about how to post pics and I have been successful once before. When I added a pic to my reply to JimT about his Colt Baby Dragoon, my pic posted as a link. It seemed easy enough as I was going through the motions creating the reply and I could see my pic when I previewed it....

That's a neat looking pistol. I bet it's a Euroarms. I have one very similar in a 1851 configuration, brass frame, in .44 caliber. I don't think this combination ever really existed. Sometimes when I am watching westerns on TV, I sit with it in my hand and cock it now and then. I tell my wife that s...

I really like stories like that. The pics are great. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, thanks everyone for your replies and info. I'm not sure just what I want to do about my gun carry on the ATV. I don't do any rough brush busting - at least not yet. With my Winchester Trapper, I may just use a padded tactical scabbard that the gun fits well into and strap it on the front or rea...

I am 66 yrs young and retired last year. Amongst the many changes in my life, I was given a fine 4-wheeler with only 40 hours on it. This is my first ATV. I picked up an ATV trailer that you tow behind it. Now I have found that this combination is mighty handy for covering the 20 acres where I live ...

Back when my Dad was alive (he died in 2000), I would bush hog our river bottoms with his old 1949 IH tractor and a 5ft Woods trailer type mower. I always carried a Browning Buckmark .22 pistol on my hip. It was bad medicine for copperheads and other snakes that I encountered in the heavy brush that...

Well, that system has finally cleared out. 17" of snow fell here. Lost power from 9pm to 2am last night. Today is a sunny day and is supposed to get into the low 40s. The patio awning on my mother's house fell in. That seems to be all the damage I can find. She's long gone on to glory and no on...

We've got about 9" of snow on the ground and it's packing it down. I know that's not much for some of you, but it is around here. I'm located in central north North Carolina very close to the Virginia border. No church today - called off! I"ll get the old H tractor fired up tomorrow and cl...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcoming! In answer to Sixgun; I'm not particularly looking to purchase anything gun related at the moment. I do want to make more free time to enjoy the guns I have and to finish up some gun builds I've already started. Everybody told me retirement would be a busy time...

Well, I lurked around on this forum for years when I was at work and should have been working. Now I'm five months into retirement (which I'm loving every minute of) and decided to register. I've been around the block and back with muzzle loaders - building and shooting them. Loved trekking until me...
