A fellow I worked with about 25 years ago killed a " piebald " doe. Colored up like a Pinto horse with more white than brown. I wish I had a picture of it to show.
Mother nature plays tricks sometimes.

Thanks Andy and the rest of the admin crew for getting this back up and upgraded.

Well done, Flint! Very nice rifle, too! I have a Model 150 lever action and the 190 semi-auto that has the lite colored stocks ( maybe birch?). but my 270 pump has the darker color (maybe walnut?). Good shooting guns.

Have you looked into using Luke Redford at Benton County Gun Works? I don’t know anything about his reputation but he does have some pretty good videos on Facebook. I live in Franklin County and have been looking for a good smith to do some work for me, and would like to know if anyone in our region...

It has affected my interest in hunting to a significant degree, CWD has been found all over the state. The same for me. We have it here in Northwestern Arkansas and every year for the last 4 or 5 years the CWD Zones has increased. I still hunt but I when I kill one I make sure to send the head in t...

Nice haul there, Drawdown! Glad you had a good time.
I have not set foot in the woods here yet, because summer just won’t go away. It is still hot and dry and still bumping 90.

Happy birthday!

JBowen

Thanks for the heads up! I ordered 50 of the 218 Bee brass from Natchez though. Shipping was $7.99 vs. $13.54.
Got to pay attention to freight. It can be a deal breaker sometimes.

Very nice Ted! Very nice rifle, great loads and great shooting!
Thanks for sharing,

Very nice pair. Be sure to let us know how much better they shoot.

We have them here too. Rabbits are worse.

Nice brace of squirrel there! Did they have many fleas on them? I like to wait until after the first frost to cut down on fleas and copperheads. I never understood why my Grandpa wouldn't go hunting until it frosted until I shot a few squirrels one hot day and they were all covered in fleas. JBowen

Thank you Mickbr. Good information.

It sure is acting weird this morning. I had to log in to get into the Community where I usually don’t.

Those Texas Stars are fun. I used to shoot CAS 2000 -2004 and would get to shoot one occasionally. I cleaned it with five shots with my Uberti 73 carbine in .45 Colt nearly every time. With my revolvers I seldom ever cleaned it. It would be fun to own one.

Great looking rifle! I bet you will cherish it the rest of your days.

Very nice! Thanks for the eye candy! Is that considered a falling block or tilting block action?

JBowen

JBowen

I grew up hunting and eating squirrels much like Drawdown. We used shotguns when we went to the Mountains to get Grays. They were fast and hardly ever sat still. Some years you could catch them in migration and have your limit of 8 in less than an hour. The years that there were no acorns or hickory...

Thanks Dave Andy and Paul. I sure was missing getting my daily Leverguns.com wisdom!

Thanks Jim.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome! I look forward to hearing about your levers guns.

I would love to add a Model 1894 in 32-40, 1886 in 33 Win and a Winchester or Uberti 1876 in any caliber to my collection.
So many guns.....not enough coins!

JBowen

JBowen

I have only seen one or two. They were outrageously priced. I have an empty slot in my Winchester collection if one ever becomes available at a reasonable price. I really enjoy my 9422 and 9422M and one of those would fit right in.
Glad you were able to get one.

JBowen

JBowen

Thanks Jim. There are a couple of those I didn’t have bookmarked.

Happy birthday, fellers!

Thanks for the tip.

Memorable for sure! Great score!

It certainly is Doc. I agree wholeheartedly.
Thanks to everyone involved in keeping this forum going.

Turned out good. I like the darker stain.
I bet Marty would approve.

I use 23 gr. of IMR4227 in my Winchester 94 and the H110 load in my B 92 Browning. But my knuckle busting Dragoon trigger guard on the Super Blackhawk not so much, I found a good plinker with my cast Lee 429-200 rf and 10 grain of Unique and it is pretty accurate. The 240 XTP and 18 gr. of 2400 is n...

JBowen

I done a little bullet comparison to today between the 240 grain Hornady XTP and the Everglades (Zero) bullets. I was shooting a Winchester 94 Trapper, a Browning B92 20" and 1 Super Blackhawk 7 1/2". I have read where SAMMI for rifle barrels is .430-.431 and revolvers is .429, so I wanted...

Thanks for the replies, fellers. I know what's going on now. It seems like bots are trying to take over.

Bryan, sorry you had a bad experience over on Cast Boolits.

Thanks for the update, Rockrat.

Very nice! I have never seen one of those in person. If I did I would probably break my arm getting my wallet out.

I am not a member of the Cast Boolit forum, but I visit there frequently. I know a few on this forum are posting members there. I have not been able to open it up lately. Is it down or have they blocked me out someway? As far as I can get is a sign in page, for which I am not set up. Any thoughts? J...

JBowen

Sorry to hear of your loss, Tycer. God Bless.

JBowen

I second what Walt is referring to. My RIA 1911 does not have much of a throat. I have been casting some 200 lrfn bullets that the nose is too fat and they don’t pass the “kaplunk” test in the barrel.

JBowen

I wish I could send some your way Bill. We have had more than our share. I would like to cut and bale some hay but it is still too wet with more on the way.

JBowen

Thanks for the suggestion, JMick. I may have to try it. A short search says it's a flour corn, but that does not mean it don't taste good. I don't like real sweet corn anyway.

Gunny, there seems to be obstacles of every kind when trying to grow a garden. Last year I had a plague of grasshoppers of Biblical proportions. They got more than I did.

I could not get on most of the day yesterday.
This morning it is super slow.

Ray, that was a bummer! Some varieties just will not come back true, especially hybrids. I have heard that planting cucumbers close to cantaloupe will cause the
cantaloupe to taste like cucumber.
Thanks for the heads-up.

JMick, is that sweet corn?

Thanks for sharing, Grizz. Looks like a good time was had. That knife looks like a fine piece, and I wouldn't want to break it either.

I have started saving Heirloom vegetable seeds. So far I have had good luck with Clemson Spineless okra and Pink Eye purple hull peas. I have just planted Charleston Grey watermelon seeds I saved last summer to see how they do and I plan to save some Contender green bean seeds this year as well. I h...
