I appreciate that trust buddy. I would never take it for granted. I feel the same buddy. You're a straight up dude in an age when there are way too few.
That goes for our whole band of jolly miscreants.

OldWin

Wow man. I'm SO sorry about the pups. That sucks. We worry about stuff like that too.

Oh!
And there aren't many types of people. In reality, there's only a few. The kicker is that many try and hide the type they are. The patterns are always the same.
Don't sweat it bud, I think you go all right.

OldWin

Yup.
I guess I'm "lucky". I wised up to the lies and corruption at an early age. I guess I'm just suspicious old wolf by nature. If you don't expect much of people, you're never disappointed.
I'm not saying there aren't good people. There are just very few, and they don't make the rules.

OldWin

Weird. I watched that just last night! I have carried a 1911 or Commander for most of my life. I've tried the Officers twice. It just isn't for me. At this stage of my life, I don't care if they come out with self guided ray guns, I ain't changin'. I have always respected Massad Ayoob. He said it......

OldWin

Ok.... Gunny. So glad you are over the rona. Even better that you did it beating "the man". Props to you bro! OS, I believe Six is correct. The construction of the 45 Colt cartridge is different than it was in the 19th century. The rim is bigger now, allowing its use in rifles. It was desi...

OldWin

Hey! I won!

Let's see.....an 89 Marlin maybe? I have one but it's o e of my favorites of the Marlins.

OldWin

Ok, I just finished cleaning that Detective Special.
I'm ready to rumble for the Colt and the Triple Lock.
Gunny is still a little sick so I may have a chance. OS will probably whoop me though.

OldWin

I never got my 87 either.

OldWin

Yup. It is.
I have one for my Colt LW Commander and one for my 5" Government Model. Most comfortable 1911 holster I e used. I can carry a full size steel 1911 all day with no issues.

OldWin

Haha that's why I don't see what everyone's problem with our little corner is.
You'd think they'd all be happy that all the bad apples are in one barrel.

Well, I shot that unfired Detective Special today.
Man! That thing shoots really good. Glad I decided to start using it.

OldWin

Haha yup. My buddy at work likes 338 too. He has em all, and says the 338 is the best of them. My kid is like me. Even on Kodiak, he uses 30-06 if he wants something "big". Most times, he just carries a 30-30 or a 6" model 629. Of course, he has Jack's 95 in 35WCF, but he is really ca...

OldWin

Absolutely! Stock design plays a huge role. Gunny, you are a shooter, and obviously in the "know". With many people, however, it is tied up in their insecurities and ego. They have it so they can tell everyone. They can't shoot them effectively, because the recoil intimidates them, and the...

OldWin

Glad you are feeling better Gunny! Supposed to hit the range today with the oldest boy. Think my old man is going too. I think I can still get my truck in there. We will see. :D Big handguns...... Nope, 44 magnum is about it for me. I can shoot and hit with a 44. Recoil is at least manageable and it...

OldWin

Calvin also said “I have never been hurt by what I have not said.” Pretty generally true. Likely should have thought of that many times. Alas … ;-) But that was before today's "media" and propaganda machine. :D Looks like a boom of logs going across Moosehead lake. Before the the steam an...

OldWin

I hope you sinuses get better....isn't that nice? Having had my nose broke 3 (THREE) times seriously means I have not been able to breathe normally since I was 24.....the last time the doctor said, "I don't have a mirror but your nose is under your eye". :D Fights, car wrecks, and drunken...

OldWin

Yup. Read my post from back a couple.

OldWin

Haha yeah I read what you wrote. Priceless. :D We did that with the small trees too! We used to go down to the woods nearby (my dad and his buds played there when they were kids. We 7sed their old foxholes) and played army. We dressed up in WW2 surplus gear and had BB gun fights. It was mostly guerr...

OldWin

Good luck Gunny! I hope you ain't got the rona. You're probably good and it's just your sinuses. Mine were bothering last week and I had a headache too.

OldWin

I saw that! I almost said something......but then I read my sig line and remembered what's important.

OldWin

Yup.
I know even if I buy one just like the old one, it won't last a third as long..... for twice the money.

OldWin

I bought a new blind this year too. Opened it on the lawn and left it for a week or so to air out. Put it up to the lot, and not one person sat in it all season haha. The one my dad sits in we have had 20 years. I can't believe it's still in one piece. We did have to repair a zipper this year for th...

OldWin

Glad you got the day off buddy. Now get in the woods! :D I have no experience with most of those cartridges. I was out of school and working before I owned anything but a 30-30. Even when I started buying guns, it was always old stuff. I did have a .308 I bought in 1989. :D I never owned a 30-06 til...

OldWin

That's a great idea Gunny! Ole Six can host the party! Now THAT would be fun.

I've never owned an 88. I do, however, have a friend over on the next street who has a carbine in .284.
I will get my coat and go get it for you.

OldWin

What happened to everyone? Loot? I tell ya man, I'd have to leave a truckload down there for all the stuff I'd like to have. I will say...I will definitely be buying something. Probably not as much as I'd like.....but something. The stuff you've shown me in the last week is definitely on my short li...

OldWin

Wow man! You're up early. I figured you hadn't been to bed yet. Got going in that attic, couldn't see outside to see it getting light, and lost track of time. :D Ok! I'm going to make a dump run. Up here, that's garbage. Nothing new in the package. I even picked out the orange peels and cat turds. I...

OldWin

The pre war hammers typically have a square checked patch on the hammer spur. These patterns and borders changed several times over production. The straight serrations all the way across the hammer are later post war version. All this being said, there is always overlap and transition periods. Somet...

OldWin

Regardless of whether the parts interchange, I would keep pre-war parts in a pre-war rifle. It would be glaringly obvious to anyone that it had mixed parts. The relief cuts for the extractor are different from pre-war to pre 64 also. Hard to say, but it sounds like your hammer has a broken safety no...

OldWin

Terminator.......?

Man, I ain't been worth much this week. Cleaned up a little snow yesterday, that was about it. I got all kinds of stuff I oughta be doing.
Didn't help that I didn't sleep at all last night. I hate that. Glad it don't happen often.

OldWin

DUDE!
Those cabbage patch dolls are worth money man!
Most likely, the old Playboys would bring good cash on eBay too.

That's why all the cool guns are down there. People did the same thing with those. Up here, everyone is too broke.

OldWin

Oh man! Atttic cleaning? That's the worst.
Tell you what, I'll come do it for you in trade for that 86.

OldWin

Hey Jay Bird!

I want that 86 XLW 45-70!

Can I have it? I'd even consider paying.

Ask 6. I'm semi-trustworthy.

OldWin

Sorry for your troubles Lenn.
Hasn't been too bad here. We get it little bits at a time this year seems like. Cleanup hasn't been too bad. We don't have a whole lot......yet.

OldWin

Ive had a cat around all my life. Ive never once had one release live prey in the house. Now granted, the dooryard has been littered with carcasses, but whatever. I certainly am a dog guy, and don't doubt the JRT's hunting abilities, but aren't they one of the more hyper active breeds? That, I don't...

OldWin

The JM Marlins are the ones produced by the original Marlin company. When Remington bought Marlin, they arrogantly moved all production to a new facility without giving any credence to the generational knowledge that the original company's employees had. I knew the gentleman who calibrated their sur...

OldWin

Most excellent! Congratulations young man.
Your choice of weapon cannot be beat.

OldWin

Gunny will never get a liking for Cats........he has too much Labrador blood in his veins.... :lol: my mom always had Cats as well as a Dog so I grew up with them but I would not have one as a pet or a Mouser now. As a teenager we had a white Cat that followed me like a gundog if I was carrying my ...

OldWin

Just my opinion, and it's worth exactly what you paid...... I have no experience with the Italian copies of the 45-70 class rifles, but I would be dubious. Mostly because they have much less experience manufacturing these models when compared to 92s and 73s. The Henry I also know little about. Their...

OldWin

Sorry to hear about your dad.
I sincerely hope he is on the mend soon.

OldWin

Gunny, you are 100% right! Just not about the cats :D And I ain't stuck up. :D GK, I never once thought you were a "follower", buddy. If I thought you were some kind of weasel, we wouldn't be talking. :D Our merry band of misfits are first rate rabble rousers, rebels, and rule breakers. :D

OldWin

I will spot you to 25 brand new pieces of brass. PM me your mailing address. For me, it's a matter of "paying it forward". Back in July of 2018 I was burned out in the Carr Fire, another of California's disastrous wild fires. I managed to save most of my guns, but lost all my ammo and rel...

OldWin

I found out a little secret today.........remember when I could not sign on to "Sixgun" and had to use "Jay Bird" for like 6 months? I was told by the authorities that it was a glitch, whatever, and was told to "try this" or "try that"....I went and tried eve...

OldWin

Just what I need! :D Hey OS, I'm sure that's the plan for us all. The ones that are able, will provide slave labor to keep the special people living in a style their accustomed to. Once we are too old to work, we will be ushered to the "camps" for "retirement", put on starvation ...

OldWin

The look.

It beats "The Whine".

OldWin

Perfect buddy!

Good for you. I do that stuff too. I bought a knife from Cabelas this past summer that I normally would never have bought.
I had a gift card from one of the kids and a bunch of points. Waited till a free shipping deal, and then I could finally justify it.

OldWin

Sadly Gunny, not much. Nothing against their thoughtfulness, nor the amount of the gift. It's a sad commentary on where this country is that 50 bucks buys nothing now. I still do that. Look at a dollar amount and go, Wow! But when you really think about it, its nothing. My buddy bought a new truck. ...

Oh boy look how late it is, I gotta get movin!

I do! Have a Harley too. Just not an Evo Fat Boy.

I have an 1887, but I ain't cuttin it up.

OldWin

Yup! Gimme gimme. I missed out on the 86.
I do have an 1887. It's not the best, but the only decent one I've ever seen here.

OldWin

Haha well lookie there! I guess we'uns have gotten around some!
