Those series S&W's are IMO real sleepers, I had a 1086 it was a smooth trigger, and broke like glass. Never failed me, don't know if they still carry them but Newport News PD here in Va. had the 1086's till S&W stopped them, and gladly traded them out for the 45 version , great buy!!

Dave James

Looks just like grand dads he wore his on patrol well up into the early 40's QUALITY RIG!!!!

Dave James

If not a 93 its darn sure a model 95 in 7mm. The ole pony reminds of some i saw down in Chile, they could go 2 days straight up and down with a semi walk/trot pace , they where mangy and mean

Dave James

That ole boy has rode a range or two, the boots and that classic mustache ,only thing looks wrong to me is the placement of the knife, may have been just done like that for the photo.

Dave James

That bullet is the spitt'en image of the one grand dad and his buddy who was a Postal inspector carried in thier S&W's. Mr. Jimmy had his in a leather flap holster strapped to the colllum of the "T" and grand dad carried his in a shoulder holster, loaded backwards they kiled a ton of j...

Dave James

I would say it appears he got center punched just about even with the right shoulder, most of them ole boys would rather use the winchester, reminds me of photos the old man had for awhile of western Kansas.

Wonder, Stockmen? Hands?

Dave James

To me it looks as if that first Ole boy is carrying a Remington 58 and maybe an early Trap door conversion

Dave James

darn thats good news, I have been holding off on a rechamber of my 33wcf, even if I have to buy the ammo, my "Q" bullet puller will go to work

Dave James

Where did they come up with a 120 grain bullet for the 243????

Dave James

al contact the refuge its a premit system

Dave James

Looks almost like the one , we where shooting while I was studying with Col.Askins his was not engraved but was "Fitzed" with a bobbed hammer, seem to remember it being either 38-40 or 44-40 sweet belly gun, the Ole man carried one that had been done up on a S&W 1917. Normally feel bet...

Dave James

My family is related to the "boys" great grand dad and his brother where their cousins from the James side. Its funny in a way have been doing genealogical search for years and discovery one of my 3rd cousins family is related to the Earp family, Love watching the shows about them, wouldn'...

4th ID LRP 67-69

USAID 70-72

Dave James

Interesting, thats some thing I haven't thought about, have a HANNED flat pointer for use on FMJ military rounds , and have shot darn near 1k modified 6.5 sweede stuff through the 96, will have to pay more attention to the rounds when finished

Dave James

If pigs are the quest, I would strongly reccomend use some thing else, Have used the 3" 20 on deer and it works fairly well with in 30 yards, but they are much easier to put down then pigs. Both my 20's that I used where choked MODIFIED, cylinder was to open and full blew patterns apart Are you...

Dave James

Great photo. Wonder what that ole boy had on that big old double buckle :?: Range, your collection started me into looking for some from my family, and saddly it appears most have been lost or destroyed. Have both of Ultey's books and they are outstanding work,, every time I go to the "Ranger&q...

Shame on him riding that little THREE LEGGED horse

From the "grandfathers" Ain't got the brains, god gave a groundhog, To slick for sun rise{never understood that one}, Dumber than a goat or a box of rocks,

Ole Man had a bunch from the Navy

Mother in law favorite, Not worth two cents for soap

Dave James

I know the ole boy I worked with one summer , hated them with a red passion, but never shot any while I was there , but he spoke often about birthing time and the damage they did on new born sheep.

Largest eagle I ever had a chance to work with was a Harpie[sp] believe it was from South America

Dave James

When the family had one out in western Kansas a 94 in 25-35 and a 92 in 25-20 served the purpose, but if I ws looking for one now I would lean toward the Ruger Ranch rifle in 30 Rusian

Dave James

range you beat me to it I was going to guess either a Timber or Cane break,

Dave James

OO!!! I see a new tool need for the NAA mini gun

Dave James

Interesting, did some thing like that back in the 60's, got the idea from Keith and tried it after writing him. Used a 45 colt THE OLD 2400 powder and the gas checks both reversed to form the cup so to speak and a light roll crimp, worked well on no neckers!

Dave James

Range your right , i drift thru the auction sites for firearms and there are just a couple of dealers in old quality leather{always looking for left hand} and the prices have really amazed me, most notable are the hghly hand carved rigs of past times

Dave James

Very nice Range, looks the same as the one I had made back in the 60's to carry my 3 1/2 27. It to came a little lose, and ended up doing the old soak it wet and dry her out thing, doing some lite boning as it went along, it still holds just about as well as new. Must say you have the LEATHER BUG BA...

Dave James

darn!!!!! Makes my 8 bore look tame

Dave James

Gee and I thought I was good to go driving the combine at 12

Dave James

Shoot Range, I can still remember seeing ole boys wear those type of rigs on a daily base out in western Kansas,and Texas when I visted family back in the 50's, nice rigs

Dave James

Must be some'n in the water thats the second time this week I have seen 357 B&D come up, one of the auction sites has a Ruger Blackhawk with 3 cylinders one being in the B&D caliber, sure was tempted

Dave James

donw, great post,,my grandmother was from the Okla Territories, and have several letters she wrote to granddad while they where courting , talk about long distance at the time she there and him in Kansas. My side of the James family is related to the James brothers, and the other side has a branch t...

Dave James

rjohn, I lost that rig a long time ago in a hole in the ground in a very nasty jungle

Dave James

Just feel like sharing.Written awhile ago. Saturday morning came along and I bounced out of the bed, which was hard I'll say those old tick mattresses and grandmas' quilts where sure warm and snug.But he had promised to take me to town and introduce me to a friend of his. Mr Jean was an OLD Marshall...

Dave James

DMAN!!! That brings back memories

STAY ALERT! STAY ALIVE!

Dave James

I feel for his family, thats all, for him, Screw'em leaves more air for the rest of us!

Dave James

The 81 with the extended maginzine was put together primarly for the Corrections people for "wall" duty The only model-8 I ever had a chance to play with was I swear chambered in a 25 Remington, Pop's said it ws some where close to the 25-35 winchester, but not sure Wasn't Hamer's supposed...

Dave James

I wore leather gear for over 30 years while policing, and it was never as classy as the old hand tooled border rigs.

ONe holster I always wanted to have replaced was the Tom Threeperson rig given to me by Mr. Bryce for my 27 smith

VERY NICE RIG!!!!!

Dave James

Some times I think the Game & Fish people have missed the boat in not bringing back the bounties, on them We used to hunt hard for them in Kansas back in the late 50's -early 60's when back home couple of the counties still had them, was 5 or 10 cents an ear, didn't take long to earn enough to b...

Dave James

Know a couple of older timers :mrgreen: who used to run a cross breed dog, that was greyhound and a deer stag of some type. yote's didn't stand a chance. Never thought about them following waiting for the drop, but it makes sense, you know strange thing is I don't remember the yotes and stray dogs b...

Dave James

I picked one up a couple of years ago , to go along with the 8 bore, it weighs in at 14lbs. favorite load is a duplex of FFG and a smokeless. smokeless is only 5 grains but t black is 120, have a mould that throws a 700 grain slug that looks like a WFN style . Have taken one black bear wih it , at j...

Dave James

There are a few recorded interviews with Frank's family memebers over on the Texas Rangers site, that are a great read

Dave James

darn yotes are every where, have had a couple killed here in the back side of Chesapeake VA. Spent some time on a Sheep ranch with a tender one summer up in the hills living ut of a wagon, he had a 30-30, and I had brought my old Savage 340 type in 222, boy howdie we wore the yotes out. have seen th...

Dave James

ONe of the best set ups I have seen is the Hip grip with the Tyler T and a Houge slip on over both, several of the gunnies I know carry this way

Dave James

Not sure what area you posted over at accurate, but pop into the African Hunting section and look for Judge G, he had one done up and took it to hunt with,, he may be able to give some help

Dave James

That book and his follow up are great ones, but be warned if you have the Rangers on a pedestal, they get tarnished a little, due to politics and bad choices.

But they RANGER ON!!! as All ways.

Dave James

Down here in the Tidewater area of VA. deer season in the swamp starts in October time frame and due to the heat and chasen with dogs all the meat we take is soak alot,, We buy the cheap liters of Coke and soak it for a day or so,,does the same thing as Dr.Pepper. Wrap it with bacon and slow roast o...

Dave James

You know spare barrel ,was one that slipped my mind will look into that. .357 yep fat fingers don't help on a key board some times

Dave James

Haven't seen an escort in a long while now, but it was a neat little piece, the "under" barrel is what S&W based their 422 series 22 pack en pieces on, The 21A has the advantage of a DA trigger and as I remember a pop up barrel, its still being made and parts shouldn't be a problem. Yo...

Dave James

Have been e-mailing Turnbull,and have just about decided on a rechamber and rebore of my 33, tired of trying to find flat point 33,, thinking of the 38-56 with a .375 bore to be able to use the 35 cal stuff out there now.

Any one working with the 38-56, and loads for it??
