I always wanted one of these too.

Grumman Goose

Satisfy my lust for classic boats and planes in one fell swoop.

I LOVE my Spaten Optimator (not to be confused with Ahnold Terminator)

http://www.henryfirearms.org/posts/new3030.jpg BTW, they've also announced a 45/70 for later in the year. I've heard this rumor to, and hope it's true, a quality American made walnut stocked 45/70 rifle especially one with just a good old fashioned halfcock and common sense for a safety sounds very...

Ji I'll see your AN-2 and raise you with a DC-3: http://www.flyingboats.ca/_common%5CDouglas-DC3-FloatPlane-N130Q.jpg Grizz What an awesome sight a DC-3 seaplane! I LOVE DC-3/C-47s.

From what I gather Henry makes a quality 30/30 very smooth action with quality USA workmanship. I owned a Henry 22 levergun, and it was topnotch. http://www.henryrepeating.com/rifle-3030.cfm http://www.chuckhawks.com/henry_30-30.htm http://eastcoastgunsales.com/admin/_ImageUploads/Product%20Images/1...

In my opinion the Cobra looks much cleaner than the Apache. The Douglas Skyraider sure was an awesome workhorse of a plane in Vietnam, last of the radial combat planes used in the US arsenal I believe. http://www.richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/AirShows/Gillespie2005/Highlights/SkyraiderWithSpeedBrake.j...

I've always liked the Antonov An2 especially with floats, would be great to own if I lived in Alaska.

My two favorite American WWII radial engined fighters:

Republic P-47 Thunderbolt

Grumman F6F Hellcat

My newest addition is a 15'8" Gloucester style rowing dory to which a added an outboard engine well to (and named in my mom's honor) for days when my back gives me too much trouble to row. Very seaworthy design for rougher seas. :wink: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ahnkochee/Fune/Masae...

Ji in Hawaii

As much as I love the lines of both the V-12 engined P-38, and P-51 I personally find the lines of radial engined WWII era aircraft as the most beautiful, with special attention to some of the Japanese fighter aircraft. A3M2 Mitsubishi Zero "Zeke" http://www.richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/Air...

To get back on the motorcycle track here's another classic style bike which I think is pure awesomeness the Royal Enfield! http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/ http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/models/img/military-c5/c5_military.jpg http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/models/img/classic-c5/c5-right-red....

I LOVE my Grumman 17 footer "Makule Akule" (mah-koo-leh, ah-koo-leh). I found her on local Craigslist several years ago, and pimped her Hawaiian style by adding an outrigger for extra stability since I use her for offshore fishing, and as a dive platform when spearfishing. I also added an ...

Amen, I used to have hair, and an 870 back then too.

I've been using the Junior Doughty Saddle Ring Sling since Junior first offered them several years ago, an excellent product.

I wonder how Junior is doing? He's a straight shooter.

Chip of the old block I see, can't get better than that. Congratulations to the both of you.

The model 1895 Savage looks like 99 but I believe they were clearly marked, and I'm not sure they were available 30WCF aka 30/30.

Ji in Hawaii

The only one that comes to my mind that comes close is the Ruger model 96/44

There's a guy in the NW that does sidecar adventure trips in the mountains, they stay in tipis at night. Saw pictures of it. My dream bike for several years has been a Ural with side car, 2WD, and reverse gear which makes for a very trail worthy vehicle at least jeep trail worthy with room for equi...

To echo what others have said my experience with 22 ammo mirrors pretty much what's already been stated. CCIs have never let me down not even their Blazer line of economy ammo. Federals are also right up there. Winchesters have never given me problems. My last brick of Remington ammo is the last bri...

Thanks for sharing, we can learn from our mistakes as well as that of others. I had a friend who was trying to teach her young grandson gun safety and assumed her husband's Marlin 39 rifle which she got from the closet was unloaded. Not only was it NOT unloaded, it had a round in the chamber! She sh...

Ji in Hawaii

Aloha Grizz,
Yes, hold off on sending them as I think they would be too long, and sounds like the 355 grain would be too. I remembered I do have a bunch of 310 grain to play with I got from 86er back in Texas, will play with these using H-110. Thanks again for the generous offer though.

Ji in Hawaii

I think the 9422 is the only levergun dba Winchester/USRA didn't mess up trying to fix something that wasn't broken.

Ji in Hawaii

What kind of rifle did you pop waskowee wabbit with?

Ji in Hawaii

Is that what they make garter belts from?

I always choose USPS Priority Mail. UPS to Hawai'i is not only the most expensive way to ship but they are notorious for losing packages especially firearms either leaving them in plain sight on front porch if not home or leaving them at a neighbor's house.

FedEx choice #2.

Hey Grizz, where can I get that bullet you're using? I'm not selling my 44 mag any time soon. :wink: Hey Ji So good to see you on here. This only fits in redhawk length cylinders when seated "out" in the bottom cannelure. It could be seated "short" but at additional cost in cham...

On my conversion I removed the tang safety completely, and inserted a flush fitting filler I made from a piece of antler and scribed my (kanji) initials into it, didn't look half bad. :wink: A piece of silver would look pretty decent too.

I had a stainless 4" Rossi 971 in .357 mag for several years and she was reliable, and accurate. This was back when Rossi was a separate entity from Taurus, and at the time I feel a superior product. I finally sold it to my friend on Maui who olst all his guns in a house fire several years ago ...

I'm guessing it's a polyester resin. The best way I know of to get off is using a random orbit sander and start grinding making sure to wear a decent respirator. Start rough 36 grit and work the surface with finer grit afterwards. I would finish with Tru-oil or boiled linseed letting each coat penet...

I would say it's because you can either call it 45 Colt or 45 Long Colt.

Can we call it the 454 Casull Short too?

When I did my conversion several years ago on my 357 mag trapper I used a lower tang and hammer from a '72 vintage '94, and it bolted right up. The earlier tangs are quite different from the newer ones like but not sure exactly when the design change happened. Mine had the older leaf spring which st...

My Rossi R357S was my truck gun for several years while on Maui, great for the numerous wild goats I came across while fishing deserted shorelines off 4x4 trails, kept behind the seat of my Nissan 4x4 truck.

Aloha guys. I stayed up until the danger had passed so about 4:30 a.m. local time keeping watch just in case civil defense was mistaken, and we needed to evacuate quickly.
