Sorry to hear this,my prayers for the Lord's will in this matter.

JerryB

When the U.S. turned away from GOD, we started down hill,it might be to close to the end to turn around but it is worth a try.Prayer and faith still does work.

JerryB

A great story Scott,it's nice to have learned the early history from the old ones in the family.

JerryB

Thanks for letting us know the outcome. I'll continue to pray for him and that you can reach him.

JerryB

Thanks,I'll try to catch it when we get in from church.

JerryB

Don't reckon I can count the times but we watched it again last nite.That little mexican is good.

JerryB

Well Nate,I reckon if his mouth was open he was lying.

JerryB

You hit my hot spot now son, back in early 1954 I bought a Winchester 1892 32-20 24 inch round barrel rifle from my uncle that was made in 1917. That was my first lever gun and at age 15 I thought I had the world by the tail.It is still my favorite rifle and has taken a lot of game.I wish Winchester...

JerryB

Yes in my part of Arkansaw it is Robert E. Lee's birthday too. I have been flying a flag 365 days a year since my son joined the Marine Corp when he graduated from high school in 1985.

JerryB

Thank you sir, it is still worth the time to read. What a treasure your son was handed.

JerryB

Griff,thanks for the good post on this.I looked at my Colt and it does show a light wear line.I thought it was just age wear.The gun is a 1957 made SAA 5 1/2 inch .45 that I bought in 1959 with only 12 rounds through it. I lost it while hog hunting in the glades,it came out of my holster while my ho...

JerryB

Prayers for the family and friends.

JerryB

That's great news!!

JerryB

Hey Blackhawk,do you think that all of us in here Arkansaw can swing enough votes for our man Mike?

JerryB

Right now all I have is an old H&R 45-70. Kirk is that small fly a Royal Coachman?I can't wait for wamer weather.

JerryB

I reckon that I better call my daughter in Yuma, loads .45Colt for her and her husband,they shoot sixguns and levers.

JerryB

Well I am kind of old and not real educated but I thought that a topic not marked OT and about LEVERGUNS would be all right to talk about so I'll say my oldest lever is a 92 32-20 from 1917. They go on up from 1941, 94 30wcf on to more 94 30-30's to an old Marlin .357 and a Interarms Rossi 92 .357

JerryB

Thanks Scott,I know what that rifle can do. It does not feel quite like my grandson's .30 carbine. Real world shooting is a bit different ain't it.
I reckon that the old mountain men did not know their .54 Hawkens rifle were not suitable for the game they killed either.

JerryB

I am 69 years old and wear what I have worn since I could walk. Levis boots and felt hat everyday,starched and ironed Levis on Sunday for church. My 19 year old grandson is the same way, and has bought all of his own guns. since we started CAS he did buy another Ruger NV .357,so we go and have fun d...

JerryB

Swampman, that sure makes my rifle seem kind of puny don't it.Maybe I should think again about using it for deer.

JerryB

All my kids and grandkids have watched Red Dawn,It should be compulsery in all American schools.

JerryB

I reckon if you mean that 410/.45 sixgun,that is a pure waste of material as far as I can see.I have a Colt SAA.45 and I make my own shot shells for it to use around the water for cottonmouths.

JerryB

ScottT,I know how you feel,I have passed on items only to find out later they were false. I always tried to make it known when I found out about it.

JerryB

I have never shot a deer with my 45-70. I have killed deer with my .45 patched round ball(.451) Kentucky with 90 grains of fffg.Not one lived to tell the tale when they got home. One was a LUNG shot with a blood trail that looked like two spray guns for about 30 yards. He was very dead when I walked...

JerryB

prayers said,study and rest when you can.

JerryB

k8bor,that sure does make an old grampa feel good to hear you tell of your hunt.A few years ago I sat with my oldest grandson when he dropped his first deer, a big doe with my Kentucky rifle. Back in another time,the early 1950's my family deer hunted and trout fished on the Manistee River west of G...

JerryB

Jim,thanks you for the info. I checked my 65-3 and my 15-3 no sign, but it is something I'll watch.

JerryB

Hope you enjoy the hog hunt, good luck.

JerryB

By all means get you a 32-20.that is the best small and medium game round there is. Kirk can be a big help to you if you plan to reload.I have been shooting a Winchester 92 32-20 since 1954 and it is a joy to use with cast or jacketed bullets. the 85 grain XTP is a fine one for this round.

JerryB

I bought my first levergun from an uncle in 1954,a Winchester 1892
32-20 24 inch round barrel made in 1917. I bought my second one in 1958
in a pawn shop in San Francisco on my way to Fort Ord.That was is a 1950 Winchester 94 in 30-30. Have owned a bunch of other since and still have several.

JerryB

hartman,you done real good. That is as fine a rifle as you could want.I have an old Winchester 92 in 32-20 and finally got an old Rossi like yours from a friend.The rifle was a safe queen with ten rounds fired through it,not any more.You will more than likely use it more than any of the other rifles...

JerryB

Thanks for the great pictures. When I first saw them I thought it might be around Yuma where my daughter lives.Been out there a few times,pretty rugged around there too.

JerryB

I reckon by the looks of the crew that it is in Africa. The guy in the beret looks to be carrying an AK,seems like they do over there.

JerryB

I ain't a biologist and that ain't no piranah,it looks like the head was added like you said Ted.It looks real differnt around the gills area.
What does a tigerfish look like?

JerryB

My grandson and I joined a club back in October,We have not joined SASS yet but we will. It is really a great way to burn powder and have a ball doing it.

JerryB

Praise the Lord Rusty, my wife saw that on Fox this morning we prayed for you ,thot you might be in that area.

JerryB

iceman,I will be praying for you and the family.

JerryB

Griff I know that they had some hard weather there,we had the rain but the tornados were a county west of us here.

JerryB

You sir are a very fortunate Levergunner.Iknow you are proud of that book.

JerryB

We have a young friend from Juneau visiting now and she has told us of several accounts like this. So much for the old tale of no ducumented wolf attacks.

JerryB

I will continue to pray for you and your son. Can you just imagine what it is like where she is now? She is there with my daughter and others looking on the Lord's face,singing and praising Him right now. What a blessing.

JerryB

Thanks Griff,I am going to do some studying and practice with this .

JerryB

I will sure add you to my prayer list, and will ask my church for you too.

JerryB

I will vouch for 0000 steel wool to clean a leaded bore.I was about to have a bore liner put in my 1917 1892 Winchester 32-20. Kirk told me to try the oooo steel wool,I wrapped a .30 caliber bore brush with the wool and soaked it in Hoppe's #9 and the steel wool loked like it was made of silver. I h...

JerryB

Could it possibly have any thing to do with the name? FORD

JerryB

Will be praying for you Mike.

JerryB

That is a fine looking rifle,he must be real proud of it.Sure does seem to shoot real staight. Reckon that 38-55 you built is plumb purty.I am going to have to start collecting parts to build me one some day.

JerryB

Jim don't ya'll meet over around Clarksville,Arkansas? We used to take my grandson there alot for fiddle contest.

JerryB

With any of my DA sixguns I carry one HKS reloader. With my Colt SAA.45 I carry a Mernickle belt slide with six rounds.

JerryB

Quite often there is a 32-20, .357, or a 30-wcf against the fridge by the backdoor. Always a handgun on top of the fridge.
