Grandpa and me.

Scott Tschirhart

Your post brings back memories of long ago. Happy memories. My grandpa used to run dogs and chase coyotes all over the countryside. He would get with one of his friends and they would turn the dogs loose and listen to the music of their cries. I loved being there. He made a similar box out of plywoo...

Scott Tschirhart

vancelw, that is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I know that I will never need the elevation, but these look rugged enough to stand up to a saddle scabbard.

Thanks guys!

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice indeed!

Scott Tschirhart

I'm thinking about taking my Browning 1895 out of the box and shooting it. I was also thinking about a reciever sight like on some of the older 95s I have seen. One of them mounts to the side and has a small lever to make adjustments for elevation and it seems to be pretty sturdy. Anyone have any su...

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice!

Scott Tschirhart

I don't mind shooting all kinds of pests on the ranch. I do it regularly. Armadillos, skunks, coyotes, feral cats, dogs without collars, rattlesnakes....no problem.

Scott Tschirhart

That's amazing! Good for you.

Scott Tschirhart

If you want to see a violent western, watch "Bone Tomahawk."

There's a reason some Native Americans worked so hard to live up where you couldn't get to them. And canabalizm was not resricted to the Texas Gulf Coast tribes.

I don't know that people are hording, but it appears that in this area, some seemingly unemployed people are waiting in line to clean out the shelves of ammo as soon as they are stocked. I'm betting that these people are selling at a profit.

Scott Tschirhart

I was extremely disappointed. One terrible sequence ruined the film for me.

I cannot imagine that anyone could stomach the interchange between Samuel Jackson's character and the one played by Bruce Dern.

Scott Tschirhart

Merry Christmas everyone! Tonight the Lord's words "freely you recieved, freely give" are in my heart and on my mind. We just finished "Its a Wonderful Life" and I am so grateful for the friends and aquaintences who have so freely shared of their time and love with me. God bless ...

Scott Tschirhart

I’m not sure what they call it. It’s marked like a SAA. But I don’t see a Callaghan designation.

Scott Tschirhart

That looks so good!

Scott Tschirhart

There will be a time when you cannot buy a new pickup for less than $60,000. And I fear that it won't be long now.

Scott Tschirhart

This one is fitted with a grip frame and stocks like those found on an 1860 Army Colt. I find the extra length to be very useful for a guy with big hands and it isn't too obvious either. If their rifles are fitted this nicely, I may need to look at one.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve been playing with this Uberti sixgun for some time. I paid less than $500 for it and I think it’s better fitted and finished than any Colt SAA that I’ve owned. It locks up tight, does not leave drag marks on the cylinder. The barrel is smooth and it cleans up easily. The bluing is flawless and ...

I have a 1948 CJ-3b Willis, a 1976 Jeep CJ5 and a 2017 Wrangler with 160,000 miles on it. I'm Jeep poor!

I hope to see him AND YOU there, Scott.

Jim, I miss all of the guys. It has been a difficult few years and I'm hoping to get back to see my friends and make some new ones.

Scott Tschirhart

Well, who doesn't love puppies???

Nice video.

Scott Tschirhart

He got a slide bite from a Glock. Not very likely. That was what got me. That scene made no sense and frankly ruined the movie for me. He could easily have had an injury in that scene that was not related to the gun biting him that he would have to hide from the police. But this was very strange.

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice.

Scott Tschirhart

Hell, I don't really know! Never kept track.

Scott Tschirhart

I love both of those guys. Give you a little story. Jeff and I were in a casino in Deadwood in August of 2012. We had ridden up for the Sturgis Bike Rally and he had a Gunblast shirt on. We were drinking coffee and this woman walks up and asks Jeff about his shirt. He gives her a quick explanation a...

Scott Tschirhart

I bought 16 pounds of powder this past week from a place in Pennsylvania who were selling it at the normal prices. 8 pounds of 231 and 8 pounds of HS-6. I could hardly get the guy off the phone because he was so mad about the election shenannegans! You cannot get primers here locally unless you want...

Scott Tschirhart

Nicely done.

Scott Tschirhart

John Wayne. My grandpa had an old octagon barrel 1894 rifle with a 26 inch barrel in .30 wcf. I sinfully coveted that rifle. By the time I was old enough to know about such things, Grandpa was using a .270. Dad thought the .30-30 wasn't enough gun so he used a Springfield Sporter in .30-06. ( Though...

Scott Tschirhart

Jim's a great friend too. We have spent a few nights together around the fire at deer camps. I don't keep track of him like I should and this will be an opportunity to visit.

Scott Tschirhart

An old friend was liquidating part of his collection and he asked me (and others) to pick through the guns privately before they were put out for the public.

This Browning 92 was engraved by my good friend Jim Riggs many years ago.

Scott Tschirhart

I have Rossi 92s in .357 (Jim Taylor's old gun), .44 magnum and a very old one in .45 Colt. I drive a Jeep and it has been a while since I was out of the country. Most of my trips abroad were paid for by Uncle Sam.

Scott Tschirhart

Buck, thanks for the heads up.

Jim, we have quite a few friends in common....even if you just count the Shootists!

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks guys,

Bruiser was laid to rest next to my pistol range on the ranch. Digging that grave in the rocky ground was therapy for me. The stones will be there long after what was left of him are gone. I wrapped him up in my old Mexican blanket because he always loved a warm blanket.

Scott Tschirhart

I've looked at them because I would like a .500 Linebaugh levergun. But that is a lot of scratch and I have a hard time parting with it!

Gorgeous rifles and probably worth every penny.

Scott Tschirhart

The Czech is in the Male.

Scott Tschirhart

I like all of them.

But I am really impressed with the Japanese guns.

I would not own a Winchester 66 except that the Winchester name was applied to this Japanese gun. I shoot it a lot and I really enjoy it. What's not to like?

Scott Tschirhart

I always liked those guns. Good find.

Scott Tschirhart

I had to put a dog down last night. Long time pet to my wife who had the little critter for 17 years. I've done this before, and I will likely do it again, but it was harder this time. A couple of weeks ago, my folks asked me to shoot a cow. I've done this before, and it isn't one of those chores yo...

Scott Tschirhart

The Marlin 94 can be modified to feed longer rounds. Mic did one for me years ago that we set up specifically to handle a 180 gr XTP seated to the lower cannelure in .357 cases. That was one sweet rifle and if I ever catch the guy who stole it, it won't be pretty.

Scott Tschirhart

I'm using a 270 SAA bullet in my Rossi 92. No modifications and it feeds fine. Fortunately these are too long to feed through my 66 Yellowboy so I can load them up a bit stouter. However, I had leading problems until I went to a .454 diameter bullet.

Scott Tschirhart

I'm sorry you are going through this. My wife and I had the Rona in April. No treatment as my doctor told me "Don't go to the hospital unless you think you are going to die."

Neither of us died, so I guess it worked out ok. But it was no fun.

Scott Tschirhart

We are getting hammered with those kinds of calls lately.

Scott Tschirhart

I saw a Dr. on Youtube discuss his theories on this. In his practice he has observed for many years a deficiency in vitamin D in both hispanic and african communities. To the tune of 50 and 80% respectively, and that is his hypothesis as to why those demographics seem to be adversely affected. He m...

Scott Tschirhart

Why are you poisoning your mind with TMZ?

Scott Tschirhart

I am not complying with any government mandates. What I am doing is following the sensible precautions that physicians I know and trust have given me. Those precautions just happen to be pretty much the same as the government's strictest guidelines. No one has to order me in from the rain. A very s...

Scott Tschirhart

I do cast, but I haven't gotten the equipment out in several years. My time became too valuable at work and it is far cheaper to get MBW to do my casting for me.

But, I do have several hundreds of pounds of lead and wheelweights set aside for a time when this is not the case.

Scott Tschirhart

I am having a hard time with government telling me how to celebrate Christmas.

Texas isn't doing much on this like I am seeing elsewhere. But I will not comply.

Did I read that right?....are you sacrificing a 4 digit FT?.... ---6

Not really a sacrifice. This old gun has been carried a lot since it was made. Great gun and very accurate, but the front sight was always too short.

What I will get back will be a lot more useful to me.

Scott Tschirhart

I commissioned a custom revolver [from Tyler Gun Works] based on my old 4 digit serial number Ruger flattop .357. It is being set up for these loads and it will be a pretty faithful copy of Elmer Keith's No. 5 (except that I am keeping it chambered for .357). If they don't work in my leverguns, I am...

Scott Tschirhart

Normally, I run 158 gr bullets through the levergun. But I have used 180 gr XTP and 180 gr WFN bullets that fed just fine. In handguns, the 170 gr Keith bullet tends to shoot well in a variety of handguns and accuracy holds up at longer ranges regardless of whether you shoot them at 800 fps or 1200 ...
