Re: Looking for good quality pull on cowboy work boots
Dieselman, bought mine at the Big R in White City, Oregon. Very nice! I have a lot of guns and reloading supplies from the Big R mostly fromnthe one in K falls and much of it purchased in the 1980's. Like this set of RCBS 22-250 dies that sold for $16. I am closer to the Woodburn area these days. S...

Re: Looking for good quality pull on cowboy work boots
I still have a pair of bullhide packers from Double H. Had the heels replaced once. That's it. Had them for a quarter century. But of course they are not pull-on boots. I'd like a pair of these as well. Hurts to bend over and tie my shoes. :lol: :cry: I still have a set of double h bull hide packer...

Re: Looking for good quality pull on cowboy work boots
I had forgotten about Red Wing. They are not really a brand that comes to my mind when I think of cowboy boots. I will give them a look. I also forgot about Double H. All the local stores used to carry Double H boots and I used to wear their lace up packer vowboy boots in the 1990's. Nobody seems to...

Looking for good quality pull on cowboy work boots
I have worn hand made Nocona buckeroo boots and White's Logger boots since the 1990's. My old Nocona's have been resouled 4 times and the last time my boot repairman said this will be the last time there, because just insn't anything left to work with. So last year I purchased a pair of Justin pull ...

Re: Henry Revolvers
I am very surprised that so many people find them so ugly. I would have thought a forum dedicated to gun designs from the late 19th century early 20th century, would have welcomed its classic looks. Guess I was really wrong!

Henry Revolvers
I have been eyeballing the Henry Big Boy revolvers on the internet lately. For those who may not know, Henry makes a classic looking double action revolver in 357 magnum with two grip frame options, plow handle and birds head. I believe they also offer the revolver as a .22 long rifle. I really like...

Re: Cartridge Conversion Cylinders
Many, many SASS shooters use conversion cylinders in their pistols. While I don't personally feel the attraction, I certainly understand it. Are you looking at the "drop-in" type or the type that physically alters the gun into cartridge only form? If the former, you may want to go over to...

Re: Cartridge Conversion Cylinders
This 58 was a gift from me to my father over 30 years ago. Back when you could order them from Bass Pro or Cabelas for about $100. My father shot pyrodex in it and didnt clean it well. After he passed on about 10 years ago, I acquired it back. The end of the barrel looked like a rusty sewer pipe. I ...
