It's a well known story line for most Western movie fans but I at least try to watch any new western that comes out. Some end up being good or okay.....some end up being very bad. I have also learned to not go by most reviews. Different people have their different view of what makes any movie a good...

Rube Burrows

That's awesome. Congrats to her and I can tell how proud you are.

Old Henry. Not a bad movie.

Rube Burrows

That video is one of the best for showing how slick the action on the originals really were. You sure got yourself a nice old shotgun :mrgreen: Thanks. Yeah, some of the newer cheaper copies give them a bad name but both of my original 1887 and 1901 shotguns cycle nice and smooth. Even my Norinco c...

Rube Burrows

Spencer made shotguns? Yeah. He actually was the first to make a pump shotgun as we know it. Tube magazine under the barrel, and a bakelite pump handle with action bars that doubled as extractors. It had a big spring loaded breech block. It extracted the empty onto a big radius cut on top of the br...

I'll try to not show to many.

Boys, I think I gave you bad information. Alliant wrote me that they are still shipping all of their powders including Blue Dot!

Oh, good deal. I guess I should have read down a little bit before commenting.

That’s not good news.

Well that sucks. I just worked up a good Blue Dot 10 gauge load. Now I'll have to go back to the drawing board.

Rube Burrows

Glad to hear it.

Rube Burrows

I like them too. I am NOT a shotgun guy at all but really like the 87 an 01 Winchesters. Just cool old guns. I used to have a really minty 1882 Spencer 12ga too. That was a neat shotgun too. I sold it about 10 years or so ago. Traditionally, I have not been a shotgun guy either but I go through pha...

Rube Burrows

Cool video! That is really nice shape. I have an 1887 12ga. Ive had it 25 years but never fired it. Rarely see the 1887 and 1901s around here. When you do, they are really rough. Mine isn't bad, but doesn't have the finish yours does. I have an original 1887 also. Someone reblued it many years ago ...

Whoa...talk about bubbasized! You did well and keep it like it is or......if you get bored this winter, you can pop off the butt stock and strip it.....no sanding.......find some wood that has similar grain and color........add the needed amount and fill in the crack with colored wood filler and bl...

Love those old hand reloading tools.

Rube Burrows

Yea Rube....you sure got the "original gun bug bite". Your as happy with that 1901 in your hands as a bird dog with a pheasant in his mouth. Ya done a super job on the butt pad ...nice clean lines, no gaps......you know quality.....With some of today's guns you can lose a wheelbarrow in b...

Those 87s are a lot of fun. I had one of the Chinese knock-offs a while back and it needed some slicking up to run smoothly, but it gave me a taste. There was a guy who ran one in 10 gauge at my old Ashland Gun Club back in Oregon. Every time he fired it, the big booming bass of a blackpowder shotg...

I love the smoke pouring out of the breech when you eject the shell.

For sure. That's a lot of black powder and being a repeater you can get the smoke a rolling.

Shooting skeet with them would be fun no doubt. I just picked up a 1901 (same basic design but made for smokless and in 10 gauge) that I plan to take on a duck hunt.

Very sorry for your loss. Never an easy thing. If you are able to stream music you should give Benjamin Tod's song Mercy Bark a listen. Its about his dog and best friend that he had to put down. Benjamin was a hobo who traveled the country and had his dog by his side for a long time. Its a great son...

Thought I would share a video of me shooting my 1887 Winchester Shotgun. Sorry, I dont know how to make the video appear here without clicking the link.

I was reluctant to to purchase one of these for a while because I enjoy my Single Sixes so much. Well, my father in law bought one and I got to fondle it and shoot it. I ended up buying myself one about a year or two ago and have used it a good bit. It has been a great little .22 and I prefer it ove...

Another question I have after researching load data for the 2 7/8" 10 gauge..... How do I find out safe pressures for the Winchester Model 1901? I have googled and looked other places but haven't found anything yet. The Parker Forum shows lots of loads for the older Parker Bro guns. I would ass...

I have a 1995 Single Six that I like to take squirrel hunting sometimes.

My 9 year old son wants to pheasant hunt so bad. We don't have them here in Louisiana. There were a couple of places that do the guided hunts but they have all closed up with the exception of one that I know of. They only do the European style where you're in a tower and they release them and you sh...

Rube Burrows

My brother was at this show. Just a horrible thing. Last year I went to an air show in Louisiana and had the opportunity to see the B17 plane that crashed and my son got to sit in it. My heart goes out to the families of the people aboard both planes.

Thank you. I know that many don't like the Winchester Lever Action Shotguns but they are among my favorites.

Rube Burrows

Niiice! I'd love to have either one.I am just starting to shop around for black powder shells and or components to roll my own so I can take my Winchester 1893 out hunting. Good luck. I use black powder in my 87 12g and have had good luck with those rounds. I enjoy the BP rounds but for this one I’...

Thanks. I will go see if I can find it.

Rube Burrows

This past weekend I picked up a Model 1901 in 10g. I am looking to find info on loading smokeless rounds for this gun. Not much available online. I will be using (more than likely) plastic hulls cut down from 3.5” to the required 2 7/8” length. My 1917 made gun is very sound and shootable. I would l...

I am very jealous. That has been my dream gun since I was a young boy. Growing up on land that used to belong to Rube Burrow (1800s Alabama Train Robber) I used to look at this photo of him in his coffin. For years I did not know what the rifle was but knew it was a Marlin. Then once I had an idea I...

Rube Burrows

Such beautiful country and congrats on the Elk.

Rube Burrows

Great looking rifle.

Rube Burrows

Oh no.......why, just why?

I like the Schofield and have a pair of them although they do not fit me as well as the Colts do. I am all for making your gun how you want to make it but that is just funky. I much prefer my Cowboy guns to stay Cowboy and my modern guns to fill that niche.

Rube Burrows

The only ones enamored with AR 15’s are those that never had to carry them in battle darn pop guns are great varmint rounds not fit for killing. Recoil averse candy butts. While I never carried one in battle I know many who have. I very much disagree with your statment mainly due to the reason that...

Rube Burrows

Good looking knife. I have a few Rough Rider knives of different models. All decent knives.

Well that is cool. Getting the job done.

Nice. I have used a lever gun in 45 Colt to take deer before.

Wow, heck of a capture.

Thank you everyone.

Thank you.

. That's pretty cool. Sounds like last year he proved himself a good hunter by turning down bad shots. This year he got his reward for his patience. Yes sir. He's a good kid who loves to hunt but also has already shown a respect for what he hunts. Thanks for all of the nice comments guys. I let him...

Thought I would share this hear since you guy can appreciate that it was taken with a Winchester 94 in 30-30.
