Isn't it a show on Fox? Clearly a fox is involved. For all you bad boys..

Your gun your choice. If it were mine, I would get the new stock and keep what I took off. No doubt about it.

Listen to your heart, but do what your head tells you to. Prayers for all. Be strong for the kids. Be the reassuring beacon during an uncertain time.

Prayers up. It sounds like he has a support system, and I hope your strength will be a guide.

Didn't you get suspicious when he told you he was going to get to access those molars from the rear?

Glad you are on the mend.

Solid shot (solid ball) was used at long range against enemy ships or fortified positions and was also used against infantry lined up in formation. Solid shot often hit the ground, bored a tunnel, and popped back up some yards later. Not like a bounce, really, as it would often travel many yards und...

I don't have kids, but I think I can actually report something here as well. Every year, I deer hunt with the same group of guys. Most are my cousins, and they have quite a crew of kids. The first gun those kids hunt with is one of mine. It is a Winchester Model 94 in .30-30, made in 1949. At last c...

Hobie, I totally agree with you. I found a box of so-called "obsolete" ammunition that was being sold by a dealer at a recent gun show. It happens to be a caliber I shoot. I was interested. But when I asked the dealer a question, I got an answer that reflected an attitude that I cannot des...

lthardman

Absolutely. It was the first rifle I purchased as a much younger person. Its a Ruger Model 77 in 7MM-08. I took my first buck with it, and I am looking at the mounted head as I type this. I still sight it in every year and it is always ready. If it had a removeable magazine, it might still be my cho...

Prayers up. For the young man to regain hope, for the family and him to find strength, for the disease to loosen its grip.

lthardman

So sorry for your loss. We mere humans strive our whole lives to be as loving, faithful, and forgiving as a dog. You were there for him. He could not have written a better end for himself. He died comforting you.

I was looking for the response: "I own handguns and think that it would greatly benefit the country if Congress offered tax credits to those who purchase USA made handguns that increase the safety and security of its citizens."

Can we at least start the rumor?

lthardman

Video came through just fine on the Simply Rugged holster.

lthardman

BlainG: Nope, unfortunately 1886's were priced extra. :( In fact, I have to say that most of the guns at the show were a bit pricey. I saw an interesting pre-64 for a decent price, but in a caliber (.32 Winchester Special) that I already have. YK: Knives were the hot ticket at the show. I will send ...

The knife shown is a knife made in 1994 by Blue Grass Cutlery who held the Winchester Knives license. And, if you look closely at the picture t...

Just for comparison purposes, early this Summer I was pretty interested in the Legendary Frontier model in .38-55. It was available from my local toy store NIB for $850. That one was unfired. I ended up not going for it as I fully intended to shoot it and knew that first bullet down the bore would f...

Excellent job on the "new" shooter!!! I like my guns the same way I like my truck. Shiny and clean. You sure treated that one right.

lthardman

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations to all! I am going to change my drool bib now.

lthardman

CONGRATULATIONS! One thing is for sure, they aren't making any more land. That's a rel good investment in your own happiness. And prime hunting land as well. Nice move!

lthardman

A great source, for original parts, at a really good price including shipping.... http://www.dickwilliamsgunshop.com I try to avoid Numnuts. I've had way too many problems, with mispicked and poor quality parts. +1 on Dick Williams. He has parts for parts and parts of parts. He probably has what yo...

Done. Tell us more when the prayers work and the news gets good.

I would most like to find an original Colt made in the early 1940's but somehow maintained in a hermetically sealed container. Since I won't be able to afford that, I will look for a Kimber. They don't give those away either. But that Cenntennial looks beautiful. By the way +1 on the comment above a...

As has been written above, the maker in question is Rossi. I have a question for you Mare's Leg fans: Given the Mare's Leg shoots pistol cartridges, and holds about six, what is or was the attraction of a Mare's Leg over a standard Colt Revolver? Was it just cool factor? Certainly the Mare's Leg has...

I have never seen the slippers first hand, but I know the guy in them. It would be best to tease him about the slippers on line. If you see them up close and personal, the gentleman in question is too well armed to tease. Well heeled for sure.

One of my first hunting rifles was a Ruger Model 77 in 7MM-08. As I write this, I am looking at a mounted deer head that is among the best I was ever fortunate enough to get. Right underneath it on the plaque is the 7MM-08 shell that held the bullet that dropped it. The rifle is still in my safe and...

lthardman

If it were original, you would have to add a couple of zeros to the left of the decimal point. I think the mere fact that the starting bid is $500 is proof enough that it is not original. Got to credit the seller for publishing the letter in its entirety though. Caveat Emptor.

lthardman

Great pictures! It must have been a great trip, one to value as time goes on. That cannon have a lever?

Hope Bailey makes a full recovery on the double quick. Do us all a favor and keep us advised if you learn any causes or reasons for the stones. This is not the first story I have heard about this, and it makes me want to question things like popular dog foods, etc. Take what ever time you need, Bail...

Late last year, I used the USPS Priority Mail service and paid extra for the delivery confirmation on a rifle I was buying from someone in this very forum. My payment was a bank check, so I too was already out the money. I have come to believe that paying the extra fee for delivery within two days w...

I have suggested this before in similar posts, so if anyone trusted my suggestion perhaps you could corroborate. Try Nok-Out. It is a deodorizer. It has worked on everything I have thrown it at. And, it is even recommended for carpet. Just google Nok-Out.

lthardman

I think the oldest guns I have are an Allen & Thurber Pepperbox (.31)and a Sharps Pepperbox (.22 short) I just picked up. Both date back to about 1860. But, the oldest guns that I own that I currently shoot are: An 1873 Springfield Trapdoor in .45-70: http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af67/ltha...

lthardman

On the list.

lthardman

I would prefer Uberti, but I would consider an 1876 Chapparral for $700.

A Chaparral in hand (and in the woods) is better than two Uberti's in the store.

lthardman

By the way, The Deer Hunter pictured above is available for well under $100. Expect to pay about $85.

lthardman

I have been collecting knives for almost 30 years. My house has so much steel in it that it throws off local compasses. It is hard to beat Case. Made in the USA. Excellent quality. Reasonable pricing. Here is one you may want to check out. It is their BH24-3 1/4 Deer Hunter. It has a 3 1/4" dro...

I'd like to give a tip of the hat to Sixgun as well. I didn't buy anything from him, but he provided some great information on a tang sight I was searching for. Gave me quite an education. I really appreciated him taking the time. And when I found one within my budget, he even provided info on where...

Nice family! Love the genetics on display there!

lthardman

Old thread, but I wanted to post an old gun. I got lucky this past weekend, and found a dealer at an antique show who had a Winchester 1897 in 12 ga and he was in a selling mood. So, this is new to me, but the serial number of this take-down shotgun dates it to 1901. One more 1897, and it will get u...

Best of luck. MN is a nice place to live, too.

+1 on that. Takes a lot of character to be harnessed to the port-a-john but still want to gut it out. So to speak....

I am sure you know the difference, but I will relate a mistake I made once. I grabbed the smaller bottle of what I thought was No 9 and went to work and noticed a much stronger ammonia smell. I then looked at the bottle and saw I had inadvertantly grabbed some Hoppes Copper Solvent, which is much he...

NICE! CMP has never disappointed me. My most recent purchase was a Winchester M1 Carbine, Service Grade, and I also think it beat their description. It has been a hoot to shoot. CONGRATULATIONS on that piece of history that will still bring lots of enjoyment. I have been told to only use FMJ ammo in...

Congratulations on finding the prize! Its great to finally reach a successful end to a long quest. Looks like a dandy! If you need someone to check it out first, send it here. I better warn you I'm running about three years behind though.

lthardman

Interesting thoughts on the irony of the current situation. It made me think about it a little. Perhaps it is BECAUSE we have so limited choices for hunting it makes us more picky on the gun we would choose. Can't afford to be wrong and waste the few opportunities we get. I suspect that if the hunti...

WOW! Your brother-in-law obviously married into the right family. You have any other sisters?

Sounds like a great time. Great time at the range for sure. I'm with you about aimlessly laying in the sun. If I can't find any shade, I'll just have to make some. And, if I have time to lay in the sun, I must have forgotten to do something (make that anything) more important. The Sun is good for th...
