Re: PAY IT FORWARD

Looks like the sight could use a kick start again as it's slowed down as of late. Surely we haven't cleaned out all of our "collection" drawers yet. Well I'm about to move and am packing my precious goods up and I found a set of 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum dies that i just don't need. They ...

Re: Average Hunting Shot Distance

I really get a thrill out of getting close to animals, even if I'm not hunting, so for me Bowhunting was a natural draw. I once shot a young buck that was literally less than 25 feet from me as he was directly below my tree stand. Now that said, I do have a 7mm RUM taht I've used for hunting Elk in ...

Re: My latest acquisition

The half round /half octagon is a very rare configuration. I want to say that less than 1,000 total rifles had the feature, and that may be a high number. I have a nice 45-70 that dates to 1897. It is a half round with the short magazine tube and a 26" barrel, shotgun butt. Letters out as all o...

Since I first read about this I've spent countless hours thinking about my own children. I was fortunate to be able to spend all day Sunday with them, they are my treasures. Yeah they make me mad at times and do dumb things, but my folks will tell you I probably did the same. There is a lot of child...

Short story long, she had a 1941 Lithgow Enfield that looked in pretty good shape. All matching and all there with a spotless bore. She told me to make an offer, I came back and said 495. She said "give me five bucks and we'll call 'er even". Guess what I did. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:...

Please don't send them darn things north or I'll have to move. I got into a batch in Florida two years ago that almost killed me. 2 bites put me into alergic shok and got me trip to the ER and a date with adrenaline. I now have to carry an epi pen when I travel to "Devil" ant country.

Boil it in water and dishsoap to get the grease out of the skull. Pick and scrape along the way, plan on spending a good portion of the day. Also might wish to boil outside on a camp stove in an old kettle as it tends to smell. After it's clean here's the trick, wrap the skull in paper towel and lib...

i wish you would have posted prior to buying as i am the owner of a '99 jetta and wouldn't give 2 nickles for another one. It is by the far the best engineered piece of junk we have ever bought. Yeah I know I could sell it and get something else, so call me the fool. Bottom line, I think they're junk.
