I have several photos taken from the museum and will go there one day my self, One of my most favortie summers was the one spent learning at the hands of Col.Askins while we lived in Texas, one afternoon on the range I had the honor of being taught and kind of shown off by 3 Rangers whom where his f...

A vest can work for you some of the time, I wear one during the day on a college campus, hang my keys on the "d" ring and carry my spare glasses in another pocket cut for rifle mags, every one who has shown a concern all ways ask "why the fishing vest" Other than that I rely on t...

The old boys I knew back in the 60's told me that they where appointed directly by the Governor at the time. Believe thats why and maybe read it that Hamer moved on when he did just before the Bonnie and Clyde thing, I think its in one of the books on the Rangers that it mentions once the Troopers w...

Interesting, never saw a single barrel Howda, the ones left to me from my fathers collection are a pair of 4 barrel Lancaster models in a 50 snider I believe, where actualy given to him by a Raj in India during a hunt from elephant back, bet that price is closer to 8k then not if its a Purdy built m...

Some of the early Hawes models where made by Sauer, we had several on the farm in either 45 colt or 357 mag, decent guns for the price, couldn't afford the Colt's at that time

Thanks for the link, hate to pop in to a site and list, TOW has given me to ways to go use my appraisals or theirs.

Any one dealt with theses people on placing consignment firearms, am thinking on placing a few levers with them

Only load I use for hunting I got out of an old "Black Powder Hunting" mag, use it in a repo Sharps and a Highwall, mite not be good for other rfles though

113 grains FFG over powder wad and a 715grain flat based lead slug. Knocks the snot out of pigs

Range, you may be right , but either way it would have been a hoot to be there,, them ole boys where just plain and simple a different breed , and sorely missed

The museum is a great place to visit, growing up in Corpus Christi, got to know a couple of old time Rangers thru the old man,and Col.Askins,, both them ole boys had 95's with 18" bbl's but they where in 30-40krag, both told me that in its day the Arizona Rangers favorite rifle was the 30-40 95

Wouldn't have made a nickles difference , I was trained by Mr.Bryce and Col.Askins, and them Ole boys where hard cobs and wouldn't back down from any thing,Patton was the same,as was Hamer. It would have been a node and a by your leave. Could have been great fun though to stand there and watch :mrgr...

Now there may be a bullet to keep my 33winny going,seeing as they are releasing the others to re loaders

Have to say the 16" er is slick,, My all time favorite truck gun is an early 16" 357 carbine model, I had a smith mount a scout scope base on it, installed a tang peep and open then wrapped the lever, its just a little larger than norm, not quit as large as a glove loop. Mounted first a sh...

For other help with it you mite try the Single Shot Express on the net and accurate reloading.com it has a large load section

I would say go for it , if it is what you truly want to do, remember we hire from the same gene pool as others, there ends up being the good and bad, toward the end of my time I was involved in the hiring center, I would rather have a late 20 some thing educated and willing to "work " the ...

Top ones look like the Squires Bingham auto that was out in the 70's

So far no one killed this area, several hundred reported hurt, Driver looks as if it took the worst of it,little down town area gone, Godwin Blvd in Suffolk and home areas around it really bad shape about 120-125 homes gone, may have been nasty but it dissipated quick thank GOD! Power outage down to...

WHOA!!!! Gives me the idea to try some of the .338 TSX for my 33wcf

Love my 33, but have run out of the Hornaday FP's and now that their not producing them haven't found a bullet I like, cast is okay but not my favorite,,,am toying with the idea of either a re-chamber/bore out or a re-barrel to another round.

Best Hornet I own is the Ruger-3 in it, not really too heavy and shoots very well with the 45 grain load. Only problem with it I have is FAT FINGERS, when it comes time to reloading the brass

You mite check with EAA they had some that worked in thier double barreled 12ga's,,,Don't know if their still around for sale or not.

Zhat can do it, and in discussions with him he seemed to think no problem with the bolt,

Giving serious consideration to a take down switch barrel in 35Winchester and 405Win

Gee and I thought my Ruger No-1 45-70 thats been rechambered to 450 3 1/4" Nitro was bad!!

Welcome to a fine brother-hood

Doric-44 since 1970

I bought one of the first 16" ones in the area way back when, and jumped right in to modifying it for me,,turned it into a scout carbine of sorts. Had a gentleman work on and make a "glove' lever for me,had a scout scope mount placed on top of the rear sight , sourdough front installed, fo...

First or second post here so here goes,,,, For deer and hogs when I have the chance to use it I prefer the Bearthooth 200 grain cast,loaded a little warm in my Rossi-92 carbine, Have used the 145 grain silver tips on the smaller deer here in VA. but not often and kept the shots to under 75 meters. A...
