I'll nominate Miss Twyla for Queen of the Jury-Riggers!

Give her a hug for me.

Steve,

This might be what you remember:

But i thought I'd posted this story before, along with a few others.

Doc Hudson

if you guys think i made this story up, I'll give you my Mom's phone number. She will confirm it.

Doc Hudson

Lube aside, I wouldn't expect great things in terms of accuracy. IMO, his mold or the pour is too cold, giving that uneven or rough appearance. The sprue plate is loose, leaving that "teat" on the base. Cumbustion pressure NEEDS a flat surface to push against to start the bulet straight. ...

Steve, This story was originally posted in my column at www.earp.com back in the 1990's and posted here some months ago. I assure you all that the events happened just as I related them and the names are unchanged to protect the innocent or guilty alike. IIRC the incident occured in the fall of 1964...

Mr. 'Erb and the Chicken Snake by Larry Hudson Growing up in rural south Alabama, I was exposed to a number of colorful characters, known locally as "downright curious." One of the more eccentric of the bunch was "Mr. Erb" Pittman. Among his eccentricities, "Mr. Erb" wo...

Chicken snakes are not as harmless as folks claim.

I'll post a story about something that happened when I was a kid.

Doc Hudson

Mighty handsome rifle!

I hope it shoots even better than it looks.

Doc Hudson

Looks sorta like and reminds on of a land-bound version of the C.S.S. Virginia. Under-armored. Underpowered. Under-gunned. And too blasted slow!

I like his CAPSLOCK style. I just picture him as guy who talks really loud. "Hi Terry, how'ya doing today friend?" "I'M OK PARDNER HOW THE HECK YOU DOING THIS FINE DAY?" "Fine and dandy, buy you a beer?" "YESSIR, YOU CAN BUY ME A BEER." "Bartender, two b...

Just repeating what I learned in College during the dark ages. My prof may not have been that sharp on in the right loop. I certainly don't have any "hands on" experience with them other than the few I have killed. Why is it that folks feel the need to say.. "I don't mean to contridi...

Hell's bells and Oriental Smells! It's a Preventative Ban Terry and you know it.

Where are the other 16?

Are those the only ones you like well enough to put online?

Doc Hudson

i can't identify the nmake, but it ain't a firetruck, or truck of any sort. It is a touring car of some sort.

Notice the folded back top?

Caliber? .45-70 Government without question! The .45-70 in standard factory form will take any big game animal in the Lower 48, and using premium ammunition from Garrett Cartridge Company, Buffalo Bore or Cor-Bon you can take any big game animal in the world, including the big Alaskan bear or the Af...

Kid, I've known you for almost 15 years. I've never known you to be the slave of practicality. Practically speaking, and strictly in modern terms, there isn't a darned thing the .44 WCF can do in a sixgun that a .44 S&W Spl can't do as well, and in carbines or rifles, there is nothing that a .44...

Thanks for the advise Alan.

i do believe i will be writing some lettes asking for copies of the writer's guides for several magazines.

Every time I start to get stirred up to work on completing my novel, I think about the trouble my friend Andy has had trying to sell a novel, and get discouraged again. Forget about that, it's a self fulfilling prophecy. From what I've read so far, you sell, I'll buy! :) Literary agents are the pro...

I've not read the other responses so i don't know if others agree or not so here goes my opinion. The KABOOM was the fault of the shooter, abetted by the rifle design. In th original Henry Rifles loaded in a similar manner, this was never a problem due to the rim-fire ammunition used. I've heard of ...

I have no clue, and (frankly) couldn't care less - I would just like to own one, whatever the extraction method. You'd for dern sure care if that little popper were your only weaon and you needed to reload! If you buy it for fun, of course it makes no difference, But if youu intend it for Social us...

I am not a great fan of the .22 WMR, but that little scutter has piqued my interest.

Does it hav n extractor or do you still have to knock out the empties with the cylinder pin?

IMO, the Browning BLR is arguably the best hunting lever-gun ever to hit the market.

My favorite caliber is .358 Win of course, with the .308 not far behind.

BLR's often exhibit downright spooky accuracy with their favorite loads.

until I noticed who'd made the post I didn't know if it was about a tepee or cookware. Then when I noticed it was from you, I got an idea, That is one fine looking building.

Thanks, gents! I've been given to understand by some folks that the .357 out of a carbine is just a jumped up, jumped up .38 Special and will bounce off of squirrels, but I suspect that I have been misinformed.

Welcome back Cossack! oes your Marlin have Ballard style rifling, which I'm sure you'd be prejudiced towar, or micro-groove rifling? If it has cut rifling, anything goes.

I've heard from him several times. Ji is doing well and has stopped by here to read what's going on a few times. Ji, If you read this, I miss your posts. Stop in and say hello once in a while. Sincerely ( fancy word meaning I'm serious ) this forum needs you. Joe +10,000!! You are sorely missed!

how much does the fellow want for the book and letter?

When i saw the title of this thread, the first thing to pop into my heads was,"The quickest way for a blacksmith to get a hernia is to try lugging his anvil around." With that hollow base that ought to be a good anvil for shooting. of course if it turns over and comes straight down you hav...

First time I heard th it was a Major General Pain in the Butt rather than a lawyer.

it is just as funny with a lawyer as the butt of the joke. (I couldn't rsist that one.

No knife?
No axe?
No Thanks!!!!

Without a knife or to you can't butcher the game you kill, and without an ace you can't build a Winter shelter, and ood cutting would be a eal pain.
A pack horse would be mighty useful as well.

Personally I think we ought to get started on a campaign for next year. maybe if we pester and politic enough we might even get Hobie and James on the official slate of nominees.

What do y'all think?

Doc Hudson

Welcome aboard!

I think you are going to fit in just fine. We are al bunch of lever junkies too.

Doc Hudson

I don't go along with your premise that automatic washers are junk. Our (wife and I) first automatic lasted from soon after we were married in 1971 until just a couple of years ago. That's better than 35 years. It washed for us and 2 kids most of it's life. I'm with Chas! In the last fifty years, m...
