Thank you for that, Six! About a year ago I was driving in town on a major street and a completely nude white woman walked out across the road in front of me and sat down in the median. It hurt my eyes so I called 911 and listened while the dispatcher talked to a responding cop who said they were fa...

Walt

Thanks, GK. I work at it.

Walt

Hey Six, once I was gonna have a rooster tattooed on my upper calf. That way I could tell the girls I had a c++k down below my knees.

Walt

Scott, you did a great job....it looks beautiful!

Walt

Good shooting, Ted....and a beautiful rifle! Thanks for the pictures.

Walt

Yeah, I looked into getting one from Brownells but as you say, they're sold out. I did put my name on the list though for notification when they're available again.

That cutaway looks incredibly rough. Thanks again.

Walt

A month or two ago there had been some posts regarding the Battle of Adobe Walls.

I just received my copy of American Handgunner which contains a Massad Ayoob article examining the lessons learned from that battle.

Walt

Pat, I sometimes use a piece of a sharp automotive point file for that although I admit a stone would probably be better. Thanks!

Walt

I bought a used .44 spl Colt NF maybe 7 or 8 years ago and it shot way to the left so the rear sight was cranked all the way over to the right. That irked me and I took it to a gunsmith who refused to turn the barrel for me, afraid he would scratch it. I ended up trading that gun and a Thunder Ranch...

Walt

I'm diabetic so I can't eat potatoes any more. I miss em.

Walt

I have several of the Kuhnhausen books. I'll check and see if I have the one for Colt SAAs. I have about 15 Blackhawks and SBHs and I've put either Bisley or SBH hammers in all of them. I lower the cocking notches of the new hammers down to .012, measured with a feeler gauge and it eliminates all of...

Walt

What the former police chief is doing holds more value to me than shooting them.

Walt

Yep, funny how missing something like that just gnaws away at you, getting worse by the year.

Walt

Nice picture, Jack!

Walt

Thanks, Buddy! And I appreciate your potato.....

Walt

Yeah! Great idea, Dr Six!

I could get an aftermarket sight and weld it onto the right side along with one of those TruGlo front sights and then I could turn the gun on its side and throw the bullets just like the gangstas do. Thanks, man!

Walt

That was an old George Strait song, wasn't it? "Armadillo by Morning"

Walt

Yesterday was a reasonably nice day here so I took my new (to me) SAA in .45 Colt out. Born date is 1999, it appears unfired. I took a couple of loads out; Lyman 452190 250 gr RNFP over 8 gr of Unique and RCBS 45-255 SWC over 10.4 gr of AA-5. I had both bullets sized to .4535 and although they dropp...

There's that story about an elderly man who took a job at Wal Mart. He tended to be late for work and finally his manager berated him, asking, "How did your previous employer act when you came in late?". He answered, "When I came in late, my previous employer asked, 'Good morning, Adm...

Walt

Nice little shopkeeper, Jim! And an interesting experiment. Thanks!

Walt

Well, now you have a remedy to reduce response times.

Walt

If not much rifling is engraved on your recovered bullets and they're tumbling, you probably need to slug the barrel.

Walt

Beautiful pictures as always, Six. Thanks!

Walt

Well, Jay, your radiator hose idea is a splendid one. And Six, I like your potato in the rear suggestion as well. If there's snow on the ground and you just don't feel like making a trip to the grocery store, you can always haul it out and bake it.

Walt

Forget the potatoes, Six. They get to smellin bad after a couple of months and their "eyes" get to poking you. Stuff a couple of socks into another sock and use that instead. But be sure to wear them in your favorite sneakers for a week or two before you put them in your pants. If you soak...

Walt

Nice shooting and a beautiful gun, Jim!

Since there are 6 shots on the target, that must not be the Single Six with the one chamber in .22 mag.

Thanks for the picture!

Walt

I've been to the dentist a couple of times in the past month and the receptionist wants me to sign in on some sort of electronic pad like an ipad (the only reason I know about those is that my wife has one). I can't even get the stupid thing fired up so I can enter my name so I tell her my name, han...

Walt

Congratulations, Griff! Nice achievement.

Walt

It used to be back in the 60s when New Mexico's population was lower and we only had 32 counties, license plates had prefixes denoting particular counties where they were issued. NM now has about 2 million inhabitants (not counting illegals) despite being the 5th largest state in the union and so li...

Walt

The only thing I have that's even close to your beautiful collector's dream guns is a model 61 made in the late 50s or early 60s. It's a nice gun. I have a couple of flat tops but they're relatively new. I have an old model SBH; I've never owned a single action in .22lr. They're all shooters. Thanks...

Walt

Looks like another copy of the Marlin designed guns. Can't anyone come up with their own designs anymore? Well, Henry tried a new lever gun, the Long Ranger but I don't know how successful it was. My shooting partner didn't like his in .243 and sold it due to disappointing accuracy. It was certainl...

Walt

I have been rereading H. G. Wells' trilogy recently; The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man and The Time Machine were all written in the late 1800s and give what I imagine is a very accurate, certainly intriguing picture of England at the time.

Walt

Sorry, Six. Didn't mean to tarnish your image!

Walt

Well, Captain Six, that's definitely a holy grail gun and you're a classy gent for owning and showing it.

Thanks!

Walt

Hey, Six, is that a triple lock at the front of your picture of Smiths?

Walt

Thanks, Six! I have shelves of books and I'm almost as proud of them as I am of my guns.

Walt

Thanks, Bill

Walt

I suppose I do have a few favorites that I enjoy shooting the most.

top left to right; Colt NF in .44 spl, FA m97 in .45 Colt, both 5 1/2"

bottom left to right: Ruger Bisley in .44 spl, 5 1/2", Smith Mountain Gun in .45 Colt, 4"

Walt

Beautiful gun, Bill and I love those one-piece grips!

Thanks!

Walt

On second thought it was probably unwise to post pictures of a bunch of guns on a public forum so I am deleting them. I don't want to needlessly make a target of myself.

Walt

Okay, I've got to fess up and admit that the only good news/bad news experience I can recall with Gun Parts involved a replacement stock for a Ruger m77. The one I received looked like it was rode hard and put away wet. GPC indicated they would only bill me in one month provided I did not return the...

Walt

That's beautiful, Jim!

Walt

I bought a used Smith m15 years ago, shot it a few times and then one day looked down the cylinder and realized a previous owner had reamed out the chambers to accept .357 rounds. Scared me, but the remainder or the gun looked okay. I ordered a new (used) cylinder from Gun Parts, keeping in mind tha...

Walt

Old No 7, that's a very useful kit. I've had that one from Brownells for years also. I think the kit came with 11° as well as 18° reamers and lapping cones. I added a 5° reamer and cone to mine for a super smooth forcing cone.

Walt

Thanks, Dr. Six. Your pictures are waaay sexier than mine. Thanks!

Actually, I have more Smiths than Rugers but I prefer shooting single actions.

Come visit us in NM and pick one.

Walt

My guns are like my children; there's no way I can choose a favorite. There are several Colts and Freedom Arms in the mix with the Rugers.

Walt

I have a couple of ATVs and also motorcycles; I keep battery tenders on them when I'm not using them. I do not disconnect their batteries and they do fine even not riding them for months throughout the winter.

Walt

Heck yeah....that's what Al Gore said when he invented it!

Walt

Are there no more proof readers?

Walt

It seems like we've had more cloudy weather than usual here. There's still some snow from a week or two ago under the trees but the temps have been warm enough that all we've gotten is a few rain showers.
