I don't have anything meaningful to add(so I probably shouldn't); but if you are someone who thinks that someone who types in all caps is deserving of correction or ridicule, then you have a much bigger problem than the person who types in all caps. Go back to Facebook and talk about what you're goi...

I bought my son a Ruger Bearcat when he was born. He's 13 now.

edwardyoung

Kind of cheating, but I'd choose a 1911 with a 22lr conversion. 45acp and 22lr, perfect and perfect.

edwardyoung

Thanks again for all the replies. I wish it could talk, too. I didn't plan on doing any fixing-up, but I may take Paladin up on his stock offer, if it's not too much. It's been the best Marlin couple weeks ever - I picked up a Marlin 39 Century Limited today for $325. The only other two I've run acr...

Ditto on seeing the other 2000 pics. Thanks for posting these

edwardyoung

I'm sure a few more pictures of Heather would help.

edwardyoung

Thanks for all the replies. I couldn't imagine moving somewhere that I couldn't take my guns, either.

edwardyoung

I measured to be sure, it is a 20" barrel.

edwardyoung

I had to sell a Ruger Vaquero to get it, but I'm glad I bought it too.

One of my brother's deputies is retiring to the Philippines (where his wife is from) next year. He can't take any guns, so he's selling them. He must really love his wife :-) This was his father's deer rifle. It must have been his only one, because it has been carried a lot. He had to have fallen on...

I'll take a closer look next time I'm in the shop. Still, the pronounced gap between lever and stock bothers me. Bent lever? Non-original? Ideas? Quinn Years ago I picked up a Mountie for cheap because it was 'broken.' The lever wouldn't budge. I can't remember what had caused it, but all I had to ...

edwardyoung

Sorry for the long post, but wanted to share a story that should have ended badly and thank John Wright for his assistance. About 6 weeks ago, I agreed to buy a gun that was posted for sale by BigO on the 'For Sale' forum at M1911.org. I sent a Postal money order that he acknowledged receipt of on 7...

I'm pretty sure there is no official connection between the church and Kahr Arms. He's just the son of the founder. But what do I know?

Hey Denis,

You got me. I'll redouble my efforts.

edwardyoung

I'm assuming you tried Colt and couldn't get one. Maybe US Firearms http://www.usfirearms.com/shop/category.asp If that link doesn't take you to the right place, it's on page 6 of their Single Action Gun Parts. $10.50

edwardyoung

Surely no one complained about that picture. Give her a levergun to hold for the next one.

We just returned from 3 days in the bush ... had a most wonderful time! We were in the mountains and the nights were cold ... it was great! I have some photos posted on Facebook ... you should be able to view them without being a member .... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=67891&id=140992...

Blaine, I agree. I'll be her husband Joe Now that's a Freudian slip, if I ever read one. Not if you didn't edit the quote. Just a simple typo.: Blaine, I agree. I'll be t her husband does too.

I bet you never imagined you'd be living on the beach in Africa. Amazing. I'll say it again, you and your wife are truly an inspiration. God bless you

I have little doubt there are factory nickeled commercial Lugers. I have yet to see a bona fide nickel military Luger, depsite gun show dealer stories.

Your P08 is what's known as a " CODE 42 Dated Chamber " Mauser Parabellum, with "42" stamped on the toggle link, a stock lug, and the chamber area dated 1939 or 1940. There were at least 50,000 mfg with 1-to-5 digit SN's, and some SN's have letter suffixes. . Mine has a cursive ...

Years ago I worked with a guy that was in the canadian army durring world war two. I cant vouch for his story as I wasnt there, but here it is. He said he and his buddys had taken cover in a house and he was standing watch out of a window at night. He said a kraut lobbed a grenade through the windo...

edwardyoung

I'll bring it. I didn't realize you were a Luger man, too. Thanks

edwardyoung

Thanks. I'm starting to bond. I have managed to figure out that the code 42 on the toggle means it was made by Mauser. Don't worry, I won't share every detail of my journey of discovery. The toggle is sort-of a lever, right?

edwardyoung

I sort-of traded into this Luger today. I can untrade if I want to. I'm going to do some research to see exactly what I have, but thought there might be some Luger experts here who could tell me right off if I have a dud or something worth the $500 I have in this Luger. I know it has been nickeled a...

From a thread on the Colt forum: http://www.coltforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14978&page=2 They're wax bullets, but the labelling on the box is very interesting. Rats, I'm not a member of the Colt forum so I can't see the pics. Any way we could convince you to post the pics here? Those wax ...

Deepest condolences. You both sound like the best of people.

These are the people our church used when we did a cookbook a few years ago, unless you already have the publishing side of it covered. Pretty hassle-free and reasonable.

I'm pretty sure I stole my sig line from one of your posts years ago on the Sixgunner Board. Thanks

edwardyoung

I'd get an older 70 Series Colt or a new Series 70 Reproduction. Kimbers are swell guns, but like Hobie said, they'll never be a Colt. I'm not a Colt-snob, but Colts hold their value better than anything else, Series 70's better than the Series 80's. AndI just prefer 1911's without the extra safeties.

edwardyoung

Great gallopin' green gollywogs! :shock: Joe, There's zero connection between the Colt Cowboy & anything produced in Germany for (not by) EAA in Florida. EAA is an importer, not a manufacturer. I've worked with the German single-actions they bring in & have never heard anything negative abo...

I always thought that J P Sauer in Germany made the frames(guns) for the Cowboy. I know that is of no consequence, but I wanted to share the one bit of info I've ever thought I had on the Cowboy

Hi Edwardy, How the ell are you nowdays? Don't see you popping up much. How's the family & girlfriends? :) Still shillin' away here. :D Denis I've had numerous posts accusing you of shilling all over the internet, but deleted them before posting them. I felt suitably juvenile today to go ahead ...

He should know. He's a bona fide Colt shill. Hey Denis

Here are the two I have with me today. A Colt 1991 Compact and a Caspian Commander.

I've dealt with them once before, which is why I won't deal with them again.

I did a quick check on Gunbroker to see what used Gold Cups are selling for. I didn't see any for less than $700. These are auctions with bids, not just high asking prices. If you're looking to help a friend out as much as end up with a Colt, I don't the price is unreasonable - even at the $800. Sin...

That's small potatoes compared to the billions in bribes handed out to get Obama's health care plan passed.

That's why the Government-types are trying so hard to get rid of God. If they get a majority of stupid voters to agree there's no God, then there surely can't be God-given rights that transcend man-made laws and privileges. It seems more and more that God is not amused, though.
