Chinese civilians aren't allowed to own guns so running the best option, either that or 20 years Kung Fu training at the Shaolin Temple. At least your chances of getting shot by a crook there slim to none.

Hey Ji, are the winds blowing the volcanic ash far enough to reach where you are? The prevailing winds are northeast trade winds so all that pollution (Volcanic+fog=vog) is blown southwest away from us. If the wind swings around to what we call "Kona Winds" blowing from the southeast then...

I have been taking Meloxicam for several years for my chronic back pain but I ran out. I tried to get a refill but my doctor refuses to give me a refill without coming in for a visit. I told him I can't drive and have to keep my foot elevated. I asked him to call in the refill to my nearby pharmacy ...

The only Henry l am vaguely interesting in is their brass frame 45/70 and only because it's their only 45/70 with a straight grip and longer (22") barrel. I would much prefer a steel frame 24 or 26 inch barrel 45/70 with a straight grip but l was told that would never happen, not enough demand....

Did you ever sprain that ankle? I have had a dozen fractures, some were very painful, others not at all. I come from a long line of thick boned scottsmen.

Is the tibia maleolus a refracture of an old fracture? First time I ever broke a bone in my body, I read in report it's a trimalleolar fracture which includes the lateral malleolus, the medial malleolus, and the distal posterior aspect of the tibia aka the posterior malleolus thus a tri malleolar. ...

I had been requesting a refill for my hydrocodone via email since last week but no reply from the pharmacy, my doctor, and when I call they put me on hold and don't pick back up.

WOW, Thanks for the research and photos. I was surprised I never found the brochures for Bruno & Stillman in my dad's things while packing up before my move last September.

One of my bucket list dream guns is a Chapuis UGEX SxS chambered in 9.3 x 74R This would be a great wild boar or Vancouver Bull rifle, maybe even a Oz Water Buffalo gun.

We have prickly pear cactus here too introduced about 200 years ago via seeds in the belly of cattle brought over from Mexico. Mesquite tree seeds too. They have been around so long most assume they are indigenous. We call the cactus pipinola (pee-pee-noh-lah), and mesquite we call kiawe (kee-yah-ve...

You can take the Yankee out of New England but you can't take the New England out of the Yankee.

I LOVE fiddleheads half the fun being getting out into the wild to collect them. We call them by their Hawaiian names pohole poh-hoh-leh (on Maui) ho'i'o hoh-'ee-'oh (on all other islands) or warabi wah-rah-bee (Japanese). When I lived on Maui I transplanted some pohole ferns on to my property and t...

This hole was several yards up from the water in the grassy lawn. The clams lived underwater 50 yards out from shore in the mud flats and were dug up at low tide, no holes ever left. Digging for clams 50 years ago has absolutely nothing to do with this injury. We have no prairie dogs, gophers, moles...

WOW, you're the color of an eggplant aka "mulignan"

I won't pray for you but I will send some cool Hawaiian vibes. I think wide Jeep tires saved you a skinny tire would do more damage. Get well soon.
I just broke my ankle on the 12th so I can relate.

I was at my physical therapy session on the 12th for my chronic back issues. My wife dropped me off and went shopping. After my session I called her up to come pick me up.

You're two days before and two years after us, our wedding day was February 28, 1981. My poor wife put up with me for 37 years, she has the patience of Job.

GREAT job on an old classic. Thank you for saving it from the sad fate. I used to own an OLD Scott Receiver with tubes when I first got married (37 years Feb, 28th) and from what I remember it sounded awesome. I took awhile for the tubes to warm up but worth the wait. I used to come home from a hard...

Stupid question time but first can bismuth be made into bullets, and if yes does anyone make Bismuth bullets commercially? States like Commifornia where lead bullets are tabu would be a good place to market bismuth bullets.

Great job adapting what you have to work with, looks great. When I did my 94AE trapper 357 mag I'm guessing 15 years ago those lowers were easier to find and I'm guessing cheaper too even allowing for inflation. My lower tang and hammer were also leaf spring but a later run so pretty much a direct b...

I always wanted a Browning 1886 but now they're as rare as hen's teeth. I wonder how the quality compares Taylor's vs Browning. Who make's the Taylor's? I know it's Italian but forget which maker. I don't believe it's Uberti but not sure. Sure is a beauty though.

I know how you're feeling, 10 years later and I still miss my pops. He was my best friend and my best man. He never let me down and was always there when I needed him.

I love reading any article on leverguns but as far as accuracy improvements to them the only things I do are add a receiver or tang peep sight, and customize handloads for best accuracy. I did change a lower tang hammer and spring on my 94AE Trapper over a decade ago but this was not so much for acc...

As a rule the tighter the rifling twist the better it shoots heavier (longer contact area) projectiles. If your gun already shoots regular 265 JSPs I would think it would shoot the 265 grain Leverlutions just as well. The Leverlution bullet design has a smaller bearing area due to it's pointy nose s...

Aloha Jim. Not too shabby grouping! Nice job on the gunsmithing too. You mentioned your shop. Does this shop have a metal lathe, bandsaw, drill press, etc. to perform your work or did you do it all by hand? The front sight dovetail especially, did you cut that by hand using a triangular file?

Ji, Thanks for asking. Thinking of Hawaii, I would like to drive my Alpine on Kauai where there are so many nice views and such curvy and hilly roads. V6 is a hopped up 2.8 liter Ford.

Okay, I know the Sunbeams came with a 4 banger with the exception of the Tiger which had a Ford V8. I'm guessing your Sunbeam V6 is a custom job? What make of V6?

Thanks for the great nostalgic classic Ford photos. If I'm going to buy American I only buy FORD. Back when I was 18 I owned a '65 Mustang Fastback with a 289 and T-10 4 speed tranny. It only weighed in at 2800 lbs, so off the line there were very few cars that could keep up at least until around 60...

If I ever get a 10mm Glock I'm getting the longest barrel available (Glock 40 6") to burn as much powder under pressure as possible and get the most out of the 10mm cartridge. I wonder if I could get one with a 10 round magazine as that's all stupid Hawaii law allows for. Personally a Glock 29 ...
