Very nice. I hope it shoots as good as it looks.

That sounds good. We should get as many of us as possible to go to the show, maybe spend some time drooling over the Turnbull rifles, and then all go out to eat together.

I have an NAA and I have only good to say about it. Mine is reasonably priced, comes with 2 cylinders, and is as well made as I could ever ask or want. Yes, it is a last ditch effort gun, but it is worth considering. Simple and well made revolvers just don't fail you, but that one in the picture is ...

I don't know what is in WD-40, but it softens road tar and asphalt. I haven't used it on threadlocker, but It is worth a try if I ever have to remove some that acetone will not get. Thanks for the idea vancelw.

If you make the slots for the belt at an angle of about 10 to 15 degrees from vertical, the front one tilting right and the back one tilting left, then the revolver should stay put without falling too far and getting the cylinder caught on the belt. That way, the opening in the top would by slightly...

I do like the way that Texas lets you use any means to take predators and wild hogs. There are some very destructive hogs in the area. That is a very nice looking fox. A couple more of those and your wife could have a high class fur wrap. Leaving work about a week back, I saw a red fox right in town...

That was a Pontiac she was talking about. It matters not what she was talking about. It's the manner in which she spoke that was funny. I never get tired of watching "My Cousin Vinny" That was the defining character of her entire career. Even if that movie is ever remade, there will not b...

I guess I missed that about David Wilkerson's crash. Sounds as if the whole family were noteworthy. I looked Don up, too.

I must admit that I am becoming curious about this caliber. I will keep my eyes open at the gun shows and such, but it sounds as if it is rare.

The Dallas Safari Club does this every year. Maybe we could have a bunch of us meet up on a Saturday or something. They close at 6pm, so going after work is sort of too late in the day.

piller

I was there Thursday, and it was not enough time. That is one big show. I really loved the Turnbull rifles on display. Now, SightHunter is serious about completing her college degree and getting a job so that she can save up for a Safari. She has been reading her book that I bought her and Colonel B...

Now you know why you should never marry the woman you meet when you have been drinking too much of the wine that your own wineries produce. Well, if you do, maybe you should stay inebriated.

Prayers sent, and continuing to be sent. This probably does not need to be said, but you know that you only need to ask and we will all help in any way possible.

It is easy to see that the fixed power scopes are going to be more durable than anything that has moving parts. Why do the cheap .22 rimfire scopes come in a fixed 4 power? Simple, they are cheap and relatively durable for the extremely low cost. I just don't find any good 4x fixed scopes for center...

I don't know anything about this caliber other than what I have read on here. Hey Mescalero, how accurate is it?

Terry reminds me of some of the people I grew up around. They expected the kids and the newcomers to be quiet until they had observed enough to learn the answers to a lot of questions, and to determine if they should voice an opinion. Usually, you started asking the questions when alone with one of ...

I had an old .22 that started throwing bullets in a twelve inch wide pattern at 50 feet. I tried Ed's Red, and with a little elbow grease, I started getting thin strips of lead out of the bore. I kept at it by brushing, then running a wet patch and letting it sit for several hours, and doing this ov...

Howdy. I like the pictures. It appears you will fit right in around here.

Ok, I am going to wade into the mudpit here. It is Paco's sight, and Hobie and Paco are the ones who say what goes and what stays. I respect them and will respect this website. I have made friends from here and have learned a lot. I am not stuck on leverguns only, but they are sure a great type of r...

If he doesn't, he sure isn't going to admit to it. They own restaurants and wineries, and I would bet he doesn't see her very often or very clearly when he does.

As someone with lifelong vision problems, I will weigh in on this with my experience. Get the clearest scope you can get and the best quality. As far as the minimum power, it will depend on your vision. I can use a 3x and do fine out to 75 yards and see a 1 inch bullseye if it is orange. It appears ...

I think that was a Freudian slip.

A light levergun in .327 would be a nice woods walking gun. The .327 is easier to reload for than the .32-20, gives ballistics that are for all practical purposes, the same. It would handle coyotes, deer, pigs, and annoying illegal growers in the woods. Extra ammo is light, it could be used in .32 H...

I agree. The story I heard did mention that the rhino was going to be removed from the population whether the hunt was raffled off or not. I assume it is to allow the poor old fellow an end to any suffering.

piller

That should work fine. High enough to be worn while on horseback and low enough that you don't hit your armpit pulling the pistol out. I see some of the guys at Church who are into the Cowboy Action shooting who start out with a really low holster, the gunfighter rigs from Hollywood movies, and they...

Don't know anything about him, but Will Rogers was a cowboy comedian. Attaway is in good company.

I liked Tricia Helfer in her guest star role in Burn Notice. Too bad that they never used a levergun in that show.

Thursday I was able to make the Dallas Safari Club's show, called Generations, at the Dallas Convention Center. While there I noticed several places selling leverguns. Wild West Guns, Turnbull Manufacturing, and several others. I also saw and drooled over a bunch of really nice knives and some examp...

It was posted here recently by another member, but is still funny. Humorous commercials are the ones that make me remember the product the best.

not having read any of the books -- I actually thought the movie was entertaining I'm only 5'9 myself -- I'm quite comfortable seeing action stars my own height -- :lol: (Statham, Stallone, - in this case, Cruise - although reports say he's stretching it at 5'7) I don't have a problem with the fact...

It is still a small bullet and in the same gun. Still pretty impressive.

I didn't watch the movie because I just can't picture Stumpy as a 6'5'' man. Maybe as J'a Kreacher.

I consider the FN FAL a good rifle for all around work. It is in a caliber that is good for hunting almost anything you would need to hunt, it is accurate far beyond the ability of most people in field use, it is magazine fed, it is reliable, and it is durable. The old H&K G3 would be another go...

pillar, I had a Ruger Single Six( old model ) .22LR/.22Mag. I put a Bushnell Phantom 1.3x scope on it, and used to shoot running jackrabbits @ 125 yard+ with it. There are still two (2) witnesses alive that can confirm it. Apparently you know how hard a running Jack Rabbit is to hit. It is a pretty...

Prayers sent.

Just out of curiosity, but wouldn't that particular wildcat seem to be a bit of a barrel burner? I may be totally wrong, but the ballistics make me think that it used a lot of powder and would have been hard on barrel life.

piller

Old Model. It is the original style of Blackhawk. Those who are lucky enough to have them are aware of the better and smoother trigger pull that the design has over the New Model Blackhawk. I am not lucky enough to have one.

The linemen and others who keep the electricity connected certainly do deserve a big thanks. That last big ice storm knocked a lot of power lines down and created a lot of problems. That is a tough and sometimes dangerous job. Thanks to all the people who keep the lights on for us.

piller

Yes, the more affordable revolvers with the gap that the can see are certainly much louder. An Uncle used to have an Iver Johnson tip up .22lr which he had paid for some work on. It had the .38 caliber springs which Iver Johnson made and the cylinder gap had been decreased to a minimum. I don't reme...

I have a 1911 and a Glock 22 in .40 cal. I do not reload for either of them, probably should, and can't see the need to go beyond factory for those cartridges. If I hotrod anything, it is in a Ruger revolver. Maximum loads of .44 Magnum or .480 Ruger in big revolvers which are designed for those pre...

That is pretty. If you ever get tired of it, you sure won't have far to look for a bunch of fellas who would gladly buy it from you.

That is some nice looking free range organic protein. Hunting with a bow is a skill that could be a way to survive if things go to Helena Handbasket. (Yes, I do know how it is really spelled, but it sounds more like a real place this way.)

A little flour, some crisco, and a little baking soda can sure be a good start to a delicious breakfast. I even keep some homemade jelly around.

Every time I am out, I still look around to see if there is a Dachshund heading North. I hope he can make it home somehow. Dogs can be more than just a pet. Some of them are the best friend you can have. I hope you can find comfort.

It has been like that in Texas in the Summer a time or two. It is never any fun for me. How long for you until the rainy season hits?

I had to send it to 2 women I know. Both are music teachers, and they got it. Blaine, when you are putting music teacher humor up here, then it is probably time to go grab a levergun and look at the grain of the wood, the workmanship, and then go shoot a few rounds.
