Wait a minute, I just bought a '66 Bronco. How could you sell it? I sold all three that I've owned over the years, and now I wanted one again. Wow have they gone up in price. I'd like to have seen yours.

I've never been able to reclaim any leadoff the gong or around it. They just vaporize from 650 yrds.

Must be steam powered. Lots of room for wood.

You guys have hijacked the thread away from how amazingly awesome the Springfield Trapdoor rifles are! I cant wait to take a trip to some very long range with mine and see how it likes it! I especially like the part about how the 500 grain bullet goes through three inches of wood and 8 inches of sa...

Steve, the '92 is a wonderful, stronger gun for sure. It's just not as purdy as a '73. It make sense to me to have both. At least.

hightime

I wish I still had a larger boat. I'd take you guys out fishing or just a harbor tour. Those were the days. I've had three boats on the Big Lake over the last forty years. It's strange not having one. Here' a picture I just ran across from the Apostle Islands.

hightime

Glad you're back. Did you move? If so I hope you have a shop, so we can see new projects.

hightime

Well My eyes don't see both sights well. Most of my life I used a Model 70m with a 3x9 40. Now that I see lever guns are where it's at, I still want to use them for white tail. this is a good solution to my hunt.

I will do the 100 yd. test next time out.

I'm not sure , I think 24. You know camera angle. Look at this;

hightime

You should still have one.

hightime

well I still might use the 1873 in 45 Colt for mid day with a tang peep, but the scope will help in the morning and evening.

hightime

As I've already shown, I had reservations about a scope on a lever gun. I did have trouble with open sights in the last couple years, so scoping either the Legacy 30-30 or my Marlin 1895 Cowboy was on my mind. Looking at scopes a Leatherman would actually look good. The lack of field of view took th...

Lord knows I need help. Thanks

A lot of good lines from Oh Brother and from Jaws. ''We're going to need a bigger boat" actually that's a motto I've always lived by.
How about; I take it you're not bad men? I was, but me an Pete been saved.
''Oh George, not the livestock''
Every line in that movie is worth repeating.

Owen

Nice, you'll have fun with that. It's fun to take the roof off and fold the windshield down.

I just got this;

My wife and I enjoyed the jokes. Thanks for a good chuckle. We all can use one.

Owen

Get better man.

I was there again yesterday, coming back from getting my new '' old'' Bronco. First I just took a nap in the parking lot. No one was there, but they were open. After I took my nap I went in. I was still the only one there. Odd. Anyway I told the guy that I posted about them on Lever guns and they we...

hightime

Well ain't that a coinsidences, Pete and Delmar have just been saved, I guess I'm the only one who's unaffiliated.

hightime

LOL, I like that one.

One I always use is: Hand me that chopper. and : Cows? I hate cows more than coppers.

Or No thanks Delbert. A third of a gopher would only wet my appitite without bedding it down.

I took his teeth, but I'd entertain offers for the rest of 'em.

Boone's Fine Guns in Isle MN , on the bottom of Mille Lacs Lake. North of the Twin Cities. I was just driving around this weekend. Of course I had an eye out for gun shops. Many are closed on Sun. not this one. I'd say they had a least a hundred early Winchesters as well as hundreds more of any bran...

hightime

a lot of bullets. I don't know why , but that line from Crossfire Trail sticks with be. I guess it hits too close to home.
What are you favorite lines from movies?

Owen

hightime

Yes, a lot of deer hunter here in MN with close range ( under a hundred yards), just use the frame without an the screw in aperture.

hightime

Sorry to hear she had to put up with you that long. :lol: Must be one heck of a woman! Keep it going. You got that right! I've been like a little kid all my life. I work hard , but I play hard too. That cost a little money and time. I'm always trying to make it up to her, but sometimes I don't unde...

hightime

Yes it is good. That's a strap holding my 45 Colt over my shoulder in the present pic.. She knows me well.

hightime

It was our anniversary yesterday. She's put up with my guns and hunting for that 43 and three more. Love that girl.
I gave her the Buffalo Bill for a wedding present, 1970.

hightime

Thanks so much for letting us know. Yes , we pray for his return.

I definitely am going back to do battle again. I need to break the dam every couple days, at least until the weather dries out. I would guess if I get four or more beavers, I'll be OK. Also if I get my JD going I can really dig it out and scrape off all the sticks and mud from my trail. the top pict...

hightime

Looks like fun. My range is under water. Dam beaver.

hightime

I gave the brass to the kids and told them to save it as it was a beaver shot. Then I thought about it.
Not the one I remember.

hightime

You'll never get them all with a rifle. Snares were my ace in the hole back when I was trapping as a contractor for the local utilities board. I guess you're right. They built up right under my nose. I saw them about 11:00 missed getting a shot. I settled for a muskrat, got him. Then about 2 am I g...

hightime

Oh we'll get some all right. I have a three season screenhouse just fifty feet away from the dam. When we pull it apart today the water drop will trigger a lot of activity tonight. The three grandsons and I will be staying the night in the screen house with the screens off on the pond side. Nothing ...

hightime

Do you eat the meat or just the tail?

hightime

When I was young, my dad had a earthen dam built to hold a three acre pond. When it was still somewhat fresh the beavers came in and plugged the outlet. In a matter of a day, the water started running over the dirt dam and washed out a gulley. We lost all the water. In '82 dad died and I built us a ...

What are you using for fuel? You sure got me thinkin' bout bein' more crafty. You got it, I tell ya. I do have a little steam engine somewhere.

Maybe it's overkill, but..........

I know your scope is offset and mine won't be , but from the side it's a match.

Well we have a couple downtowns, West Duluth, West End and the Down town you saw, then the big development is over the hill on the Miller Trunk Hwy or HWY 53. The population is about 85,000 with another high pop. areas called Hermantown and Proctor all connected.

hightime

I'm with you fellas. Yes it's almost blasphemy, but for an all day, from just before dawn to late sunlight to hunt whitetail I need help with my eyes. I have two levers that are either side or angle eject. I have a bunch that I would never scope, but the 30-30 Model 94 Legacy is the one I'm going to...

hightime

Maybe it's the same where you live. Gun shows have the same vendors no matter which town is hosting them. Yesterday I went to my home town show. Duluth is the biggest town for a 100 miles or more. I was surprised that it seems to have attracted much bigger dealers, and the amount of neat stuff was m...

That's unbelievable! So Cool! Yes, the sounds are all part of it.

Yes, the largest iron ore mines are here in Northern MN. the ore is shipped from Duluth and the North Shore of Lake Superior to The steel miles out east. Much of it is used in the auto industry. Ford at one time owned a few mines, trains and the ships for their own use. We also ship grain from the M...

I think I did it. I've never done that before. Enjoy. Remember to turn the sound up and wait 'til the end. The big echo is from all the buildings on the hillside of Duluth.

Cool I have not seen that. In May I posted a vid. of a thousand footer going out from inside the harbor on YouTube. Maybe I can find it. I see you have a interest in big ships that have givin way to Lake Superior. I used to dive and do a lot of boating on the Big Lake. Here's a pic. of a ship near t...

On the bottom the same ship in the middle of May.
