3.2 % Oklahoma beer is the absolute worst, which is what we had to drink in High School. We had to go across the river to buy because our Texas county was dry. We also drank the cheapest stuff we could get, quantity over quality. Now I think any LIGHT beer is bad. Tastes bitter to me. I am definitel...

Chicken snakes are not as harmless as folks claim. I'll post a story about something that happened when I was a kid. Tell me the story Uncle Doc! I like stories. I don't have any small children or pets, and the chickens can fend for themselves. :lol: (I hate chickens worse than snakes) Prolly could...

All this coral snake talk is giving me the heebie-jeebies. I was working on some welding projects this weekend, and was going to beef up the floor of an old jeep axle trailer a friend gave me. trailer 1.jpg I saw something moving under it, on the far side of the axle. Peering into the void where the...

At first glance, the first thing that popped into my mind was an Ahren's Fox, because it was so big. But I not familiar enough with the old fire apparatus to know.

Jason, I had a Crickett rifle for my girls. It was great for them with the peep sight. They were dead-eye's with it. I did have a problem with the extractor falling out. Crickett sent a box via UPS, fixed it, and sent it back. So, pretty good customer service. I eventually sold it and bought them a ...

Joe,

I'll have to search. I think National Geographic published some underwater photos of the Arizona about 10 years ago.

Finally! I can rest now (until I get my hands on one at least.)

I can live with that type of loaded chamber indicator. I love Ruger guns, but not their autos with the silly idiot/lawyer flags.

Had a similar problem once... Had a cat that thought it needed to eat off the table.

Pete44ru????? What kind of loaded chamber indicator is it going to have? I can't find any information about this pistol except for my Shooting Times magazine article. I even looked on Remington's site. If it's a Ruger-type flag, I don't want it, but a notch to enable me to see brass in the chamber (...

Well, I've never had my hands on a 12-shooter, but I'm gonna jump out there and say you'd probably have to either load 2, skip 1, and load 9 - or load 3, skip one, load 8. Since it holds 12 instead of 6, I'm betting there are more than 2 cylinders between the barrel and the loading gate. http://www....

I wish I had them all back, but the one "Doh!" moment was selling my Ruger .357 Blackhawk back when I was a newlywed and I couldn't afford to feed it. It was my first centerfire handgun. Years later I realized it was a 3-screw. :evil: I wondered why the guy who bought it ran out of the apa...

I've got an 1851 Cimarron in .38 Special. Finish is good. Fit leaves a little to be desired. Trigger pull and point of impact were pleasant surprises.

Over all, for the price, a really nice piece of recreated history.

That thing needs a wheelie bar on it!

Yeah, I was reading that article the other day. Been trying to save my pennies to buy a Kimber, but might be tempted to try one of those if I could get my hands on one. They will probably be too high when they first hit the guns shows.

I just like how the OP in that asked a simple question about whether something could or could not be done. What ensued was a bunch of "I wouldn't" and "You shouldn't" remarks, and negative opinions of others were used to bolster the BS. I really liked the "sit down and shut ...

I can understand your point, but I also think the families of those men would probably like to see them buried at home with proper honors, like they did for the crew of the Hunley .

I guess I worded that wrong. If you can hit a target from a mile and a half, you are a good marksman, even if it takes you two or three shots. Especially in a war setting.
