The trigger isn't bad but there is a lot of unnecessary stuff going on in there that makes the trigger a bit spongey.

It will likely be even better when I install this:

Yeah. I want to install that in mine too!
Getting rid of the mag safety helped a little.

OldWin

While I agree the earlier pistols aren't hindered by useless safeties, and are of good quality. They are also too heavy for my taste in a 22 pistol. That is why I used my old Smith 422 for so long. Also why I use a Colt Frontier Scout instead of a Single Six. Agreed. I look at this gun as something...

Hey!
You been spying on me with trail cams?
That's some pretty good sneaking to do that without me knowin!
There's some sneeky goings on lately, ain't even safe to take a leek in the woods now....

Yup! Safer to go in the Rover!

I took that loaded chamber indicator out and replaced it with a plug. I replaced the extractor with a Volquartsen. Then I took it completely apart and I am replacing that magazine safety with a different hammer bushing to delete that function. While I am inside, I am replacing the sear and hammer a...

OldWin

Yup. Room for the keg! More truth there than you know!

The jury didn't want their houses burned and families assaulted.
No point in having trials now. If there is a riot or threat of one.....guilty.

One step closer to federalized police.
Then everyone will see.......

OldWin

Thank you all again. Very much.

TraderVic,
I won't have that problem! I have 3 sons who are all into guns.
Matter of fact, they are probably planning my demise!

OldWin

Haha yeah I can see that. Never really thought about high traffic areas.
We can just pull over almost anywhere.

OldWin

Hahahahaha!
My man! Wizzin in the Jeep!

It's official!

I now crown Sixgun REDNECK OF THE YEAR!
Not only does he do this.......he wins points for old ladies walking in it. And.....telling all his buds with obvious pride!

OldWin

Thanks again Jack. It is much appreciated. I must find a way to reciprocate, my friend. I'm sorry about the reading. However, I know you well enough now that I'm confident you can conjure up a solution. You are very crafty and resourceful. You are much more intelligent than you let on. I'm rarely wr...

OldWin

My “most valuable” gun is a Wards Hercules. Was originally owned by my Great Grandfather and ultimately passed down to me. No Jack you can’t have it. If anybody REALLY wants it they can try but there WILL be a throw down. Haha yup! I love that old shotgun. I know it isn't valuable but it's always b...

I think it is good to have things that remind us of people.

As do I.
It's my hope that someday my things will bring good memories to someone I care about.
It's funny how the older you get, the more important these things become.

OldWin

Thanks buddy. I predict they will stay in the family for a long time to come. Can't believe my dad finally got that Parker, and owned it for about two hours. I guess he can borrow it if he wants. :D I've heard hours of stories about rabbit hunting with his friend and all the rabbits the old Parker p...

OldWin

My wife gets those Bark Boxes in the mail for Zoey. They have treats and toys in them. So every package that comes, Zoey just figures it's for her.

OldWin

Thanks everyone. I mean it.
Many kind words. Means a lot.
And yes, these treasures will be well cared for and appreciated. For at least another 2 generations. My sons will continue the tradition.

OldWin

A lifelong friend of my dad's passed away a couple weeks ago. They were hunting and fishing buds since they were kids. His dad helped my dad a lot getting started in hunting and fishing when he was young. I have a 92 Winchester SRC in 38-40 that belonged to him. Last week, the friends widow wanted m...

OldWin

Man! It was a rough weekend for some reason. Work sucked. Nothing went right and I was dead tired. Got home this morning and ripped a power nap. I got up and made a coffee and made a plan to clean up the Parker and little 1903. The wifey comes home at lunch and says, "there's a package on the front ...

OldWin

Sounds like a great day. Glad you got out.

OldWin

Whooo! Ok, I'm up. Man, that was a long night. Did manage some sleep today at least. Man! Those are some sweet Colts, Six! For a second, while I was sipping my coffee, I thought I missed those when I was down there. I'd of been very upset. :D Guess you missed em too. That stuff is BIG money. WAY out...

OldWin

Haha yeah. The pad isn't bad as far as timing. It's an old Red Head. It doesn't look too bad other than it's not supposed to be there. I'd say the stock was cut, cause it doesn't feel long.
Oh well. Glad it's a Parker. It'd be a shame if they'd done that to a Mossberg.

OldWin

Yes, it's a 32. Which I actually prefer in the 1903. Just seems "right". Thanks buddy! Yeah, wouldn't you know, I HAD some 32ACP, but I gave em to my kid when I gave him a little pistol chambered for it. Haha yeah I don't know much about Parkers either. I do know it was made in 1921. It isn't fancy....

OldWin

Not a bad day. A friend of my dad's passed away recently. His wife wanted me to look at his stuff and give an approximate value. I already knew she was giving my dad his Parker 20ga. I went over with dad today. The rest of his stuff was just average stuff. His wife said to wait as she had one in the...

OldWin

Thanks GK. You're welcome any time! I may have an old Winchester, Colt, and a checked wool coat you can borrow! :D I haven't used a metal detector myself in these spots, but I'm sure others have. Lot's of old remnants of logging too. There are also many old cemeteries that are interesting to look at...

OldWin

Hey yeah. It's been a while since he's been around hasn't it.

OldWin

Yup. Most of the state is owned by paper companies or land divisions of them. The northern half of the state almost entirely so. Things are changing though. Even 30 years ago, if you told someone you bought land to hunt on, they'd have you committed. In the not too distant future, if you don't own l...

OldWin

Looks like a fun place to be. You are obviously putting time and effort in to keep it a good place. Hope you have lots more fun times waiting to be experienced there. Thanks piller! Luckily, something that was very stressful and upsetting, worked out in the end for us. My dad and I built a camp abo...

OldWin

This old road down to the stream is an old county road. It crossed the stream and runs up the other side about another mile to another good gravel road running at right angles to it. That is where the bulk of my dad's buddies land is. They are great people and live here in town. They have two sons I...

OldWin

Yup. I agree 100%. Being a parent is a job and a responsibility. People today don't want either. We got three boys out of this house with no trouble with the law or anything else. They are all honorable and hard working young men. Yes, there may have been some luck. But there was most assuredly a lo...

OldWin

Haha yeah. That's the stream looking down in the first pic, up in the second. I am standing on the old bridge abutments. There is a beaver dam between the abutments. There is a larger pool downstream a couple hundred yards, but there is no road. I cut a small footpath to it last year. The bridge abu...

OldWin

If you also notice, many of the posts mention the loaded chamber indicator. As I stated above, this is a lousy design and it causes issues. It basically rubs every cartridge going in and out of the chamber, putting pressure on the side. Ruger will not dismantle it. You can. And it can be filled with...

OldWin

Went up to the lot today. Have a pile of work to do up there. We have a clearing down by the stream I want to expand and seed down with clover. Gonna plant some apple trees too. Started working down there. Got some downed trees cut up and brush sawed a fair amount. Expanded the little clearing quite...

OldWin

The Klan? No way!
I think they only had 1 march ever up here. Way back. They never gained any traction here cause there aren't any black people. Either that or their sheets would blend in with the snow and nobody would see em anyway.

OldWin

I have the identical pistol and it runs like a champ. I can't say for sure it's the cause, but the hokey loaded chamber indicator does not aid in reliability. I dumped mine and replaced it with a filler from Tandem Cross I believe. Not sure, I would have to look. I also did the slingshot mod so the ...

OldWin

Haha yup. I never went to those places with girl. Never. Haha reminds me.... A bud at work is a patch and he was in a bad wreck 2 summers ago. Got T-boned and that's always bad on a bike. The worst. Anyway, they had a benefit supper and some raffles for him so the wife and I went. Of course, I KNEW ...

OldWin

Hey Jay- do the radio stations up there still play Second week of deer camp during deer season? I remember it was played A LOT back in the late 80's. Haha yeah they do! I've lived that song a few times. Long time ago, though. Yea Jay....it's a good feeling when our motorized tools and vehicles are ...

OW is right, partying it up big time with that wild and crazy Mainiac crowd.

They sure know how to tee off on a good time.

Yup! My man OS knows how we roll.

Like Jimmy Hendrix would say.......He's EXPERIENCED

OldWin

Well I tied up the loose ends left on the Harley. Took her off the jack. Went to the dump. I took dad's old 3/4 ton Dodge to run it some. That's an awesome truck. Only 74k on it and it's 23 years old. Got the battery back in the old John Deere and fired her up. No issues there. Gonna take a ride up ...

OldWin

Your right! I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to offend the gravitationally challenged who identify with the female orientation.

Jay...you won bro....your on a roll!!!!!! Tell you what, drive down to JOG's house and take his 33 Winchester...tell him I said it's OK for you to take it. Oh yeah! Thanks buddy. I always wanted one. Oh. And you already lhave the cash for the loads so just send them to me when they are done. You go...

Fred....be careful with Jay's invitation......he may say something like this, "Hey Fred, when you come, bring some guns and we will go shootin'." You respond by saying , "OK, but I'll have to use your guns." Also, keep things like your wallet, credit cards, anything in your glove box or consol, spa...

You laugh, but after a few beers she looked some purty in the light of the burnin tires.
Queen of the pit party!

OldWin

Dram-buoy? :D We don't have that in these parts. That some kinda fancy Cham-pag-ne? That's why they cut the back of the Gremlin off. They had to shave weight. That little 258 had a rough time hauling heifers. That's why they gave you the 304 option. They Pacer failed cause with all that glass they c...

Wooooo! Sweeeeet. Who wouldn't want a lifted 4x4 Gremlin?

Man, you're riding in style buddy!

OldWin

What in holy habenaro is going on here. Don't tell me there's another one as disturbed as Six? :shock: I go work on my Harley for a while and look what happens. I took a break to shove a whole pile of tacos and a couple cold brews down my throat. When I went back, I couldn't bend over to put the bra...

Riding season is here! One full month, then it's winter for you northerners!

Haha yeah that's about right!
Luckily, Jeep season is a little longer.

OldWin

Very nice. Beautiful pictures, as always.
People do it here for deer and moose. There are many huge bogs and flowages that are very remote. If there is stream access from a road, you can throw in and get to some great hunting areas.
Canoes are common as rocks here, and have been forever.
