I don't know what you think of Steve Forbes, but I respect him. I heard him interviewed about this crisis on talk radio last week and believe me, this guy can explain a complex problem clearly. What Forbes said was sobering, and I believe he was right. Yes, the crisis is the result of bad judgment a...

Has anyone noticed that Bush simply doesn't LEAD the nation in a crisis like the economic meltdown? He appears for a few minutes before reporter's reads from a paper he has in front of him and then leaves. Remember how Reagan got on TV and used charts and graphs to explain to us what was going on? T...

The best 1911's made are the redesigned Detonics .45's made recently when the company was resurrected about three years ago. They have toured the gun mfg shows demonstrating their full size model that has fired 31,000 rounds without one jam, and without one cleaning. THAT's reliability.

Tom Beringer played a remake of The Lone Ranger, I think it was in the late 80's. I don't remember who played Tonto. Did anyone see this version?

The fact that Obama's website IS NOT dismissing the rumor is a clue to me that it might be true. I wonder, though, if many of the Hillary crowd would go for it, being this is so late and the purpose is so obvious - beat Sarah Palin.

I plan on seeing it with my son when it opens on Friday

Thought I would add something here a second time - the Bible says there are horses in heaven - Christ rides a white horse in the Second Coming. But there is something special abvout a horse that I think is beyond that of dogs or cats. And that is, that when you mount your horse, you and your horse b...

Your message breaks my heart. How old was he?

Palin hit a grand slam tonight, for sure. I predict she will not only become President, but that she will inspire a whole new era of young Republican activism we have not seen since the early days of Barry Goldwater. I also believe she will pull in much of the women vote, much of the youth who are a...

I have read about this quite a bit, as I have two Marlins in 44 mag with that barrel twist rate. I also have two leverguns, Marlin and Win. in 45 LC that have the faster twist. Both the 44's shoot 1-2" groups with iron sights as far out as 50 yards using bullet weights between 200 gr to 240 gr....

I am just finishing reading 'Blood and Thunder' the true story about KitCarson. The author's name is Sides. Even though it is historically accurate, and highly informative, it also reads like a novel - very hard to stop reading it once you start. I am near the end now, and may just start over when I...

Thanks to all for your well informed replies! I appreciate being part of the brotherhood here. To answer Game Keeper's question, I live in the east side of the Phoenix Valley, known here in the US as the Valley of the Sun. Yep, it's hot here in the summer.

Howdy. I am new to this forum, and I have a question. I have heard that Winchester has been purchased and is back in business again. True? If so, has their going back into business had any impact on the values of earlier production rifles? My son has a Model 94 in 45 Colt, Trapper model I think, mad...
