Very interesting!

Find A Grave comes up often in "hints" through Ancestry.com. I really like it. Having read some great (informative) obituaries, and some terrible ones, when I wrote my Mom's obituary a couple years ago I wrote it for her family and friends now, but to be a resource for our descendants a hu...

I try to go through all the hints with at least one person each day. Sometimes there are few hints and I can cover a nuclear family unit. Other times it is just the one. I'm up to over 5,000 in my family tree, with almost 1,700 photos and over 12,000 records. I feel close to my Dad every evening whe...

But interesting too.

I hope to be able to see the entire background all the way to Adam and Noah, when I get home.

+ 1 on all three counts!

Bill, The prices are creeping up on the Yugoslavian stuff. I bought several M57 Tokarev pistols a couple years ago for $150 w/out the mandated frame mounted safety lever and they are already selling for over $300. The Mausers are doing the same. Military firearms account for most of my collection a...

Beautiful pair, Ted!

I always check when I see a deal too good to be true, and thus far, it always has been.

5¹/² powder so I'd venture to guess it's 5¹/² drams. Is that a 10 or your 8 bore?
Not 10

Yep, the 5 & 1/2 dram makes sense now...

Nope - especially since you are unloading it before getting into a vehicle or climbing over a fence. I'd much rather miss a shot at game then accidently put a round in me or a companion. Taking an extra second for safety is always worth it!

I was walking around a gun show back with Y2K when he was around 4 or 5 years old. He had already watched "True Grit" with me a bunch of times. We came across a table with Henry rifles, and he spied one with the big loop. "Look Daddy - Rooster's rifle!" You know the rest. It came...

Very nice. Just watching the last sunset from South Carolina of 2023...

So, old reloads of 296 produce... Ol' Yellow?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Leverguns are the best medicine!

45 degrees?!?

Where did I put that barfing smiley?

Now, why would you go and swear an oath like that?

Were you ill and fighting for conscious thought when you made that oath, Doc?

You are a fine granddad! This old Scotsman bought one standard chipmunk (pink) 25 years ago and have used it for multiple g and gg kids to date. Still sitting in my safe waiting for the next kid. I was tooling around a gun show with my daughter on my shoulders back when she was 4 years old. She, of...

For me tonight...

Awesome! I love seeing this! I got Y2K his first rifle, also a .22 bolt action, for his first Christmas. I wanted to make sure he got his first rifle from his Dad in case anything happened to me. He shot it for the first time when he was a hair over 2 years old, with a lot of help from me. I really ...

Don't tell Mrs. YK!

Merry Belated Christmas, Paul! Keep up God's work!!!

Hmmm. Use that in combination with a 5.11 shirt, most of which have snaps versus buttons, and I think you might have a winner there.

Amen, Jim!

As many of you know, I lead the security team for our church. Christmas is a zoo, with a huge number of people who only attend Mass on Christmas and Easter coming in an showing the most un-Christian like behavior (demanding, short tempered, unreasonable, and nasty). I'm usually not looking forward t...

My wife would say that, or "What did you break?"

Never cared for the block-Glock, but admit it is a very useful handgun (just no soul). Sorry to hear any good gun designer dying. RIP indeed.

I got a stomach bug for Christmas. Been home by myself all day hugging the porcelain pony. Merry Christmas! Sorry to hear that Ted! Head cold or something like it for me. Just hoping it is not RSV, the flu or what would be my third bout with COVID. Nasty stuff going around. Y2K got me a nice set of...

I have the 7.7 version. Late war production, so quality was pretty darn poor. It does have the chrysanthemum intact though. I've never had the opportunity to shot a 6.5. Interested to hear from you on how it works!

That was Blaine-worthy!

Mrs. YK and I didn't see any bears in September when we were there either. Maybe if they hired Biden-like bears who bumbled around and shook hands with invisible people the note writer would be happy...

Makes a person think if Stonewall had not been shot would Gettysburg ever of happened or if it did would the Confederacy have won the battle. I believe he was the best General they had a natural strategist +1 His loss was devastating to General Lee. And Gettysburg was the high water mark of the Con...

That's hysterical!

A Christmas Wish From the Great Plains By Mike Rhinehart · December 19, 2023 https://patriotpost.us/articles/102972-a-christmas-wish-from-the-great-plains-2023-12-19 With Christmas Season upon us, I wish for all that they simply reflect upon the true nature of giving. Hint: It’s not what corporate ...

That is just awesome!

I must be just dumb lucky. The last gun my Dad gave me before he died was a Ruger 10/22. It's always been very accurate. I have several others, and all of them function great and plenty accurate enough to take pretty much any tree rat I see.

"First time"?!?

Probably!

I love Christmas (the real reason), but refuse to decorate until after Thanksgiving. Fortunately my wife agrees with me.

My SIL however sets up the tree right after Halloween.

51?!?

Way too young.

RIP, good and faithful servant...

I never would have thought that we would see the antisemitism raging around the world like we're seeing now. Heartbreaking to say the least. jb https://i.imgur.com/YddJG84.jpg Agreed. I honestly thought we'd never see this level of antisemitism outside of the barbaric Islamic world in my lifetime. ...
