I’m sorry to hear this. I bought issues from time to time. I wonder if it is related to the decline of cowboy action shooting.

I don't know if I have seen a roman-nosed bronc in the flesh. Sure were a lot of them in the Army back in Pancho days.
There's a park in El Paso not far from my back surgeon's favorite hospital named for Marty Robbins.

Well, I'll be dipped in sheep dip!

This would make such a killer barndominium!

Bill in Oregon

Thanks John. Thanks Paul.

Not only are Skinner sights streamlined, but they are bombproof strong.

What on earth?!

"Drugged" to church twice a week here.

Bill in Oregon

I've seen those mentioned. Glad you got a nice one.

1895, I look forward to exploring your site. Wasn't aware Rossi had a .45-70.
I have heard good things about the accuracy of their .30-30.
Mick, have you ever tried to run .44 Russian through any of the Rossi .44s? Wonder if they would feed.

Horsesoldier, a 115-grain bullet at 1200-1250 out of the Super Carry is clearly 9mm territory.

Bill in Oregon

Well fellas, the Accurate .31-115H mold arrived and I believe it casts a very handsome and seemingly practical boolit. That's the Speer 115-grain FMJ load on the right for comparison. All my brass is loaded so I will have to shoot some up to be able to load more than just a sample with the 115H -- a...

What a great honor and experience for you Scott! I hope your side prevails.

Here was another woman you wouldn't have wanted to cross in pioneer Montana:

Good read, considering March is Women's History Month.

It was a good day in the early 1960s when I managed to put five pennies together and I would walk to the mom-and-pop store and buy a pack of Topps baseball cards. As I walked home I would stuff that flat, stale slab of bubble gum in my mouth and slowly go through the pack. A Mickey Mantle baseball c...

I am not sure there is a handsomer lever gun than the Spencer. Starline brass and the bullets from a Lodgewood mold.

Bill in Oregon

Oh, you'll fit in here just dandy, John. Wow, that's a handsome 92, and is there a finer choice in a Blackhawk than .44 Special? Not in my world.

And Ray, the "Rafe Hollister Sings" episode of Andy Griffith is one of my favorites. Jack Prince had a wonderful voice. I still hear "The Lonesome Road" in my memory.

Bill in Oregon

I have had two, both in .56-50. Just not interested in any other chambering. They ran just dandy.

Bill in Oregon

Agree. If they could reduce that $7,000 price tag 90 percent, I would be interested.

Bill in Oregon

Reminds me of these guys. I have a couple of their shirts.

I'd love to see a vintage baseball game sometime.
The last two MLB games I saw in person were in August of 1969, Giants against the Cubs, at Candlestick Park. Willie Mays hit home run 597 in the first game and 598 in the second. Even then, the hokey stadium organ was annoying.

Mercer and Mancini with their Oscars for this song, 1962. They won again the following year for "Days of Wine and Roses." When Mercer wrote "my huckleberry friend" into the lyric, he was referring to his childhood memory of the Back River in Savannah, where he picked huckleberrie...

I had never even heard of Oakwood, an historically Black Seventh-day Adventist college in Alabama. Talk about a choral program!

Hmmm. Disney's Pistol Pete always carried revolvers. I'll let one of y'all correct him ...

I never realized just how huge his hands were -- and I though Jack Weaver had big hands!

Another iconoclast! How many pints would we need to drink for you to explain cricket to me, John? Guinness, room temperature of course.

Bill in Oregon

Will, you iconoclast, you! :lol: I don't know how many games of whiffle ball we played in the street as kids, with chalk-marked bases and somebody yelling "CAR" every minute or two. Never been much of a racing fan, although I like to watch the horses run -- and I will watch the TT motorcyc...

Bill in Oregon

It's funny, but it's not so much that I love baseball as it is loving the idea of loving baseball. I usually don't pay much attention until the Series starts, but the world seems a better place when spring training is underway. A half century ago, a Saturday was incomplete without having a Giants ga...

Bill in Oregon

Sorry Ted. I miss my Bulldog.

Bill in Oregon

I'll take a stall, and prefer my grain fermented and filtered, with a drop of rainwater ...

Bill in Oregon

What a wonderful space you guys have created!

Bill in Oregon

Sorry you had to suffer that disappointment Darryl, but I hope the restored and properly oiled CZ gives you some nice memories in the field. I've been daydreaming about the Bobwhites myself.

Bill in Oregon

This is simply excellent guidance. I will forward to my "progressive" friends.

The reproduction of this very interesting British .442 revolver from the 1850s by Arsa in Spain is slowly proceeding. Initial pricing of 1,000 € puts it out of my league, but I sure would love to see and handle one. More in this thread over at Britishmilitaria ... https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/bri...

Jim, hand me a sign. I'll march.

Ray, my father would start laughing just thinking about "Golf Without Tears." Huge Wodehouse fan.

Will, when I first knew my ex she had a retriever pup from a kennel involved in Gerald Ford's dog. That puppy chewed up the hot tub edges and cover then went to work on dismantling the heat pump wiring. How that boy survived is beyond me.

I have bought their grips several times over the years and have been quite pleased for the price. There was some sort of change in the company a while back with the result that for a long time their grip selection contracted mightily -- and most of those shown were "temporarily unavailable,&quo...

One thing the Turks have access to is some very nice walnut.

I think the SAAMI pressure standard for .357 is 45,000. SAAMI for the 5.56 NATO is 58,000, but of course the aluminum AR receiver is built around a far different locking design. I'll be curious how the Huckleberries in aluminum hold up.

Bill in Oregon

That came out just dandy!

Bill in Oregon

Wow. What a legacy. A born teacher and obviously a very good man. Glad you had him in your life, Doc.

Bill in Oregon

Doc, one of the other customers in the shop at the time said he was tempted to buy it as a collector's item.

Bill in Oregon

I'd like to handle a current production Rossi side by side with the new GForce Huckleberry steel version. The Huckleberry is just a bit lower in price. I ordered one maybe 30 years ago in .44-40 when Interarms of Virginia was importing the Rossi brand. The gunshop owner in Medford and I were astonis...

There is a nine-page thread of prayers for a critically ill little girl named Olivia over on the Texas Hunting Forum. She had been admitted in early January, and died in a Houston hospital yesterday afternoon. One of the fellas put up this image of what it is like to come home to the Christ. I find ...

Losing a dog is a very hard thing, but you can have a horse for half your life.

Walt, I share your hopes for Michelle's future.
I was thrilled to see my first Peabody Martini target rifle -- in .44-100 -- this afternoon at our club's gun show at the Rattlesnake Roundup.

Bill in Oregon

Excellent! Darn, that Rossi looks nice. What is it capable of when benched?

Bill in Oregon

Liking that hammer double, Jay.

I am working the ticket booth from 3 to 6 today at our Sweetwater show, and will stick my nose in the door and look around before I start my shift.
Guessing there were good hauls of rattlesnakes for the roundup, thanks to those temps in the 80s last week.
