Thank you! I love stags. Love Stags?! Me too!! :D ("Elk Stag", but it's book-matched) Old Army Stag Grips 02.jpg What’s your favorite handgun? I've been looking at those P210s. It's nice to know that they're are worth the admission price! jb 8) Well, it's gotta be this one -- but it's not...

we discovered that the quickest way to find something that's missing is to buy its replacement. works every time it seems . :lol: That's how it works for me! :roll: Same here. That's why I'd been putting it off. As far as that Rem. magazine goes, they've been discontinued and a replacement will cos...

Looking for a magazine for a .22 that I have no idea where I put it and finally found the 10mm cylinder for my Blackhawk that's been missing for months! I was starting to think I was going to have to send it back to Ruger for a replacement when I found it yesterday. Had my whole closet emptied out a...

Great stuff!

I don't have anything that belonged to Great Grandparents, but fortunately I have several from both of my grandfathers. They were both hunters and shooters.

Cool!
I had one of the early ones I'd bought from an estate. Sold it for a nice profit, but should have kept it. I like the looks of this new one, especially the sights and I have similar grips on my 442.

I didn't care for the OM Flat top that I had, but my three screw SBH is my all time favorite. That along with my National Match, go with me as much as possible.

Nice group and a looks like a nicely made rifle. It's hard to beat the .30-'06, I've knocked off a pile of white tail, a couple of boar and countless varmints with my various '06s. When I had my little farm, grandpa's Springfield was always the "Go to" when something needed to be put down....

It's going to be the same thing Here Jim. Last week We had good cold weather , everything is frozen up. Lake Erie is starting to freeze. I have felt better than I did all winter. now Wednesday it going to warm up and rain the rest of the week, more mud. :evil: . I hate it. wish it would just stay c...

I had a Smith 422, mag safety. Cleaned it one day while watching TV. I scattered it out completely, reassemble and function test. Duh it has a mag safety. So I insert the mag, rack the slide, point at bad guy on the television and went out to buy a new TV not long after!!! That CCI Stinger went rig...

Awesome news, Bill!

Our little granddaughter will be three next month. I know she's made me think a whole lot differently about how wonderful life can be.

Congratulations!

I've been looking at the thermal/ digital scopes lately as well. I was thinking of putting one on one of my little Savage .22s, since I live just inside the city limits. I can get away with the subsonic .22s without anyone getting excited. I'd like to put it on something larger to take to our cabin....

2ndovc

Good stuff, Ray!

My dad has s couple of those along with a few Belgian made types. I'll have to get a couple of pictures the next time I'm over there.

I'd take one over a Taurus any day.

I'm having a similar problem. My S.Rugged belt is down to the last hole as well. I went and gave most of my jeans to Goodwill. My wife got tired of seeing me wear the same baggy jeans and got me a couple of new pair for Christmas. I've always had to work hard to keep the weight off but during all th...

I have one of the Loaders for the .44 Magnum. Used it a couple of times thinking it would be a useful kit to take to our cabin to experiment with. I ended up thinking that it was an odd way to set primers. I bought a Lee hand press an an extra set of dies for the .44 and .303 Brit. Packed it all in ...

I go back one further than Jason with a 1766 Charelville reproduction by Pedersoli. But I am missing the 1917!!!

Mine is a converted 1842 Harpers Ferry. My dad gave it to me when I was about 13 and had gotten into Civil War history.

Stopped by my dad's place the other day. He hasn't left for FL yet for a couple reasons and while staying out of the cold, he's been going through some stuff he'd been putting off.

Bill, The prices are creeping up on the Yugoslavian stuff. I bought several M57 Tokarev pistols a couple years ago for $150 w/out the mandated frame mounted safety lever and they are already selling for over $300. The Mausers are doing the same. Military firearms account for most of my collection an...

Way cool!

My first Winchester 92 is a 32-20 as is the second one I bought. One of the biggest reasons I started reloading all those years ago.

Have fun!

jb

Interesting.

I know that in bright sunlight, I can’t see a red dot for snot.
Prefer the green, but the only one I have is a red Sig Romeo. That one sits on the Ruger 5.7 and is pretty much my indoor, bump in the night carbine.

Pretty rifle!

Always thought the Mach 2 would be an interesting round to play with.

Have fun!

I bet! Last spring we flew to Las Vegas. Really whished I'd had my .38 with me. Awful place, that I won't be returning to.

The coin is very cool!

I was all excited to get a new flannel shirt and a couple of freshly printed Ben Franklins.

I have a CZ 452 that s just the opposite of the S&W. The heavier the bullet the better the groups are. I have a pretty good stockpile of .22 Magnum and will try a different brand of 40 gr. ammo. I haven't found that the CCI rimfires to be exceptionally accurate. I was looking at the Walther when...

Thanks Guys! I've become a big fan of the M&Ps, this is my third one. I have two of the full size 2.0s, one 9mm and one in 10mm. I prefer them over my Glocks, though I doubt I'd ever part with my G19 and 26. Going to try to get some more .44 Specials loaded up this weekend and make the range tri...

Took the Vaquero .44 Spl along as well. I'd only shot it once and not on paper. https://i.imgur.com/fmmObZH.jpg The M&P functioned perfectly with 40 gr CCIs and Remington 33 gr bullets. It definitely prefers the 33 gr ammo. All of the Remington's are in the red except the one next to the 9 on th...

I've brought home a considerable amount of ammunition from water losses that has have been exposed to various amounts of water and so far, most of it has fired without issue. I had some Rem. 22lr and 9mm "white box" that were under water like you described and were sitting in the dampness ...

My favourite semi 22 is the Winchester 63 I have my grandfather's 63. A LOT of .22s have gone through this great little rifle. https://i.imgur.com/zVDeBsE.jpg I have a couple 10/22s and like them, but I tend to grab one of my Savage or CZs for an afternoon of plinking or walking trails. https://i.i...

Thanks Bill, building is also the reason we need doctors- us guys are broken down, beat & wore out joints ! :lol: You're not kidding! Biggest reason I made the switch to the Dark Side/ or insurance world depending on your views. Too beat up for a lot of that stuff anymore. Cool looking building...

Still working on mine. My Dr. friend invited me out to his place next week to help me work on what I need as well as a First Aid class. There also just happens to be a very nice gun shop out there. Mostly high end shotguns, but it's fun to look.

Jim! :lol: :lol: Jay, Liberty Mutual has really changed. Used to be a great company to work with, but they've gone the way of St. Farm and some of the others.

Didn't notice that large of an increase. What I have issue with is I have large , LARGE oak trees very close to my house. I asked the insurance agent if they would pay to take down/ trim the trees.

A pleasant cartridge to shoot and quite accurate when you find the right combination. I have my grandfather's 94 that shoots the Barnes .377s really well.

My dad and I went to a little show this morning. Usually find something interesting there, but hadn't seen anything I couldn't live without.

Ruger to the best of my knowledge has always been pretty good on their warranty. HOWEVER, I would send it to Jeff Ault at Munden Sixgun Magic.

Those Yamaha 200s are great little bikes!

I had a Kawasaki KLR650 for years. I sold it, planning an upgrade to a BMW GS1200 but something got in the way and it never happened. I've been thinking about replacing the KLR a lot recently. Might just happen this year.

. My little Remlin 357 Mag threaded carbine (1894 CST) is probably the most versatile and practical levergun I've ever had.
