I've never dated a Zippo.

I'd never heard of cheese in chili as a kid. It wasn't till I was grown and out in the world that I discovered how nice a good goop of melted cheese can make it. I still normally just prefer mine full of banana peppers though.

JB

Dunham's Sports is the same way, or at least the one here is. I asked to look at a handgun and was told that the triggerlock had to stay on. It was one of the newer striker fired designs and I certainly wasn't going to buy it without being able to feel the trigger pull.

Clint has reached the point in his life that he can speak his mind without worrying about liberal Hollywood ruining his career.

Trying to load a video, but it's not working so far. I'll figure it out, I keep watching it, still not really believing I can do that again, but it's there. But, too much is too much. Just dropped the Combat Elite on the floor. Fortunately it was a soft landing, gotta quit now. :D jb 8) Don't feel ...

Yes, he wasn't truthful with a number of his stories, but if you prefer "fiction writer" I'll go along with that one. Steven King is a great writer, but I don't really believe that means all those stories are really true. I missing the point of what year he was first published or how many ...

We always called chili with no beans "hot dog chili". I need beans in my chili. Like I stated above. There is no hope for some folks. :D Next you'll tell me you don't eat coleslaw on your hotdog :D I found while up north or out west, they'd give me with a lost look when I ordered a hotdog...

That's the problem. Too many deer shot in the hindquarters or guts, then they say "I hit him with my 30-30 and he just ran right off".

I hear ya Jason! Then there are the cat people... They say oh you will like my cat- it's just like a dog. Umm does your cat jump into a lake, swim 100 yards to retrieve a dead duck? No. Well then how is your cat like a dog? Not sure about you but my dogs do not krap in a box and then walk all over ...

I have far more efficient rifles, but I try to take my 336 30-30 out and shoot one doe a year. Somehow it just feels more sporting.

I'd say John would say the sniper got very lucky.

People seem to put a premium on the flatbands around the gun shows. Griff may be right though, to a knowledgeable 94 collector (which I'm not) the round band in the same era may be worth more.

JB

I'd like to pick up one of the adjustable sighted versions for a lightweight woods gun. I had a Shopkeeper version that shot close enough to point of aim for plinking cans and dispatching animals in traps, but shot a friends that that was about 5" left and several inches high at 50 feet with ab...

JB

Good job. Any coyote dead is a good coyote.

JB

Wooden bullets have been used for indoor practice rounds, less than lethal crowd control (although a wooden bullet at close range would certainly kill), blanks, and for grenade launching from rifles amoung probably a few other reasons.

Elmer was a big liar, but I still found his book an entertaining read. I'm sure he'd have been a lot of fun to go to the range with. I haven't read the Askins book, but I need to.

JB

Be careful. It's easy to switch out springs in the centerfire J frames, but the rimfires have that heavy trigger pull for a reason. The rimfires j's often become unreliable with lighter springs. Polishing and maybe just a "tad" lighter spring is about all you can do.

JB

Glad to see it's still getting some use in the field.

JB

He dropped from $600 to $350 out the door. You have to wonder about the poor guy that sold it to him for $200

You need to post some photos!

JB

I have several nice original 03's and 03A3's in my collection. The 03A3 was a cheaper built rifle than the 03's, but I much prefer the sights on the A3 for accurate shooting. I only keep original versions. I have no use for the sporterized jobs.

JB

I think the economy is doing fine. I wonder how long the stock market can run without a major correction, but things seem to be going well.

JB

I know that there is a velocity loss factor but have not detected any difference in killing power or accuracy from the shorter barrel. However it is noticeably louder when a round is touched off. You might find the short barrel possibly having an accuracy advantage. I like long barrels when velocit...

I don't believe Colt will still perform service work on the Lawmans or most of their other older revolvers.

Rosie Jones, a "glamor" model. A net search will pull up photos of her in various stages of undress.

JB

In the civil war based movie, A Time for Killing, the troops are carrying lever action Winchesters and 1873 Colt Peacemakers.

My pet peeve is the number of movies I watch where someone pulls a Glock and the sound crew has added the sound of a hammer cocking.

JB

Blue is pretty, but I prefer stainless for a gun I'll actually be using.

JB

I'm sure it varies on a case by case basis, but my cousin had shoulder replacement a couple years ago and still shoots handguns, rifles, and shotguns with zero issues.... so far.

JB

I would have passed based on the title and photo, but I may have to check it out now.

Pulling any horse must be tough unless you're really strong!

Fried up, rattlesnake is pretty good eating. We used to hunt them for the meat. Now days they tell us that they're endangered and not to kill them. They're still dead if I see them around the house.

JB

I'd be curious if the loads causing more heat are also resulting in higher pressure.

JB

My dad has his done earlier this year. He hadn't been able to shoot open sights for several years. He now shoots them just fine. It did wonders for his vision.

JB

I'd love to carry a 12 gauge shotgun around all the time, but I can't even get comfortable with a full sized handgun. I'm perfectly happy with an Ruger LCP or sometimes a j frame with my lifestyle. Sometimes I feel all commando and step up to a Gock 43, but even that's larger than I like to pack aro...

JB

Great singer and guitar player. I believe he played guitar on all his albums, no studio musicians needed like most recording artists do.

JB

I've seen HSM 30-40 ammor for arond $25.00 a box, but that's about the cheapest I've seen. The last I bought was Remington, but I think it was $30 something a box.

JB

The 30-30 wouldn't be an original black powder load. I'd probably go with the 38-55 like the folks above.

JB

You might not see much difference unless you're shooting accurate rifles. You're average 30-30 might not show much difference at close range, but take a look at any top level competitions and you won't see any standard open sights in use. I can shoot dirt clods or deer fine with standard open sights...

JB

Excellent guns. I grew up shooting an old Browning Leige over and under. I guess that's one reason the side by sides never felt as natural in my hands as an over and under. And you picked a good one, I'd avoid the cheap Russian, Chinese, and Spanish over and unders like the plague.

JB

Yes go with a peep. You'll find the accuracy far above any other type of iron sights. There's a reason they're on target rifles and not traditional sights. I've found I can shoot a good target peep just about as accurately as a low powered scope.

JB

If it's for actual use and not collecting, I'll take a carbine over the rifle every time. My idea of a levergun is a short light weapon. If I'm going for something longer and heavier, I'd rather have a bolt action.

JB

I had a Glock 20 as well, but sold it. I had zero complaints about the Glock or the 10mm, but it just never caught my fancy for some reason.

JB

Those older fixed choke Citoris don't bring what the newer ones do on the used market. I wouldn't worry about missing any deal. That 11/87 will serve you well.

JB

I ordered a new 336 a few years ago that was a pile of stuff. It had to be returned to Remington for a terrible blue job and headspace issues. I I'm also hearing the new guns are better, but don't want to risk my money to find out.

I can't think of anything better that would function in the AR style rifle.

Another slight issues with PCP guns is the velocity. While one model may be good for 50 shots on one prefill, they're may be only 10 or 15 shots within a close enough velocity range to make accuracy repeatable. Generally a PCP velocity will climb the first few shots before it starts dropping. Tunin...

o.k. I probably overpaid for it a bit, but it matches the others in my collection

I'd love to see the collection of whomever bought it!
