Returning from a long absence and this is the first post I read.. Same blurry glitch here in So. Oregon.. God bless these people, and their ministry.

Praise the Lord indeed... Love to hear good news..

My friend Jim about 9 and I, about 8 were down at the river with our bb guns. We both had shot these so much we "knew" where the bb would go. Just two eyed aiming... Anyway, this day Jim was consistently out shooting me, which was not really normal, but a humming bird came up over the blac...

Wow KirkD, you have presented this complex issue in a remarkably understandable way....Do not know if you have a religious affiliation, but the ability to think unencumbered by the intelligencia of the day will probably lead you to the inescapable conclusion that the the Bible is and has been right ...

They can't even figure out G and PG movies with family values, sell far better than their normal ones.

I remember your post from this past summer. I have no words. I try to put myself in your shoes but I can not. It is too frightening to even contemplate. I run from the thought when I try. Best wishes for comfort and strength. 1886. I echo this. This is a heart breaker. I lost my mom 1 year ago, but...

Father in law gave me his Marlin golden 39A about a month before he died. Bro-in-law, shirt tail, came by about 2 months later, telling my wife it was given to him. She gave it to him. An employee sold me his Winchester 30-30 for $125.....he needed the money. He asked $100 but I felt for him. Anothe...

I want to thank you all for the great info. Now I'll research it to see what most of it means.

He cleaned it a year ago and I ran a patch yesterday, and it was clean

Well it's obvious I don't know much but the rear sight has a little slide that clicks up through 20 numbers, at which time the sight is about 1.2 inches higher than if it was at 1. Does each number represent a specific distance, or is an intuitive/trial thing?

Oh boy...It is an 8mm Mauser with what must be Czeco lettering followed by the number 44. It has a M24008364 serial number, under which is M24/47. On the other side, (and all this surrounds the front part of the bolt), is B9127 Funny thing is the serial number looks like a modern machine done thing ...

Just replace democrats with liberals and you have a winner.

My son got some different ammo with his Mauser 8mm. It's stamped as a 24/47. The bullets are 9mm Mauser, which must be correct, and 22-73 whose casings mike out the same, but the bullets are longer. Are both OK to shoot?

Oh yes...and add in Lonesome Dove and Quigley and True Grit

I'd sure rather surprise a black, if I had to spook one or the other.

My old name was stupid( see below) and I am glad to have a simple name that represents me well. Ya know, cause it's my name. BTW, Ysabel Kid how do you pronounce that? I have probably been botching it up(in my head) this whole time. :? I've been pronouncing it "IZZABELL" in my head this w...
