It's based on an out-dated version of Safari, but has a lot of new window dressing. Be sure you read the fine print before installing as you, in effect, give Google permission to log every keystroke you make in the address bar. Some will call this "market research" and won't mind. I'm not ...

The real question was whether he was born in Hawaii or in Indonesia and only had the birth recorded in Hawaii later on. That's part of the basis for the lawsuit brought on by that Democratic lawyer (and Hillary supporter).

Really? There's no "FOID" requirement in California. :shock: No FOID in CA, at least not yet. I imagine the only hold up has been trying to get it translated into 16 different languages while keeping it to a reasonable size. Then they would have to establish a new bureaucracy to issue and...

You guys need to stop harping on CA. It doesn't sound like we are all that bad!

Charles, The Mexican government might not actually send them across the border, but they are still accomplices when the local consulate hands out maps showing the best routes over the border, highlighting INS locations, and even posting alerts when the Border Patrol emphasizes a certain area for enf...

Of course, if you catch your hand on that empty dovetail and rip a chunk of skin off, you'll understand why they make dovetail fillers and why some of us do install them.

And we're upset why???? The picture of McCain's plane didn't have a flag on it that I could see either.

Walmart would not be a success if it wasn't for the anxious shoppers who regularly stride through its doors. Don't blame the corporation, its the consumer that made Walmart possible and keeps it successful. Nobody is forced to shop at Walmart. As far as some of those mom and pop rural shops, except ...

Bison hunting in a tank top and flip flops? What would Elmer Keith say?

Sounds like good advice! We'll await your results.

I think the triggers are worth the cost, but you will have to justify the cost to yourself. I hear that a good gunsmith can do a trigger job for about $50, much less than the cost of the Happy trigger, but I think all of the good gunsmiths have left Southern California. So the cost of the replacemen...

Oaths should never be taken lightly and should never be confused with a statement of intent to show for work. Sounds like someone would like to remove references to lawful defense and support of the constitution and insert a simple open contract. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but any job that involv...

And don't forget the regional differences either. A Remington pump rifle in any chambering will generally bring a much better price in PA than it will in CA despite their scarcity here on the west coast.

Jayhawker

I'd think that a CEO would have known that a trademark item, however small, was being removed from a product, particularly one that had been around for more than 80 years. Surely this wasn't just a cost saving initiative from the stock makers on the line without approval from up the line? I don't kn...

Isn't this what lightning rods are for? We used to have them on every building around the farm in eastern Kansas. Even had to replace them from time to time due to "use".

I've had a Model 68 snubbie in .38 special for over 10 years now without any regret. It still shoots just fine. The only thing I'd change on it is the serrated trigger. It would feel better if it was smoothed over. I can't find a gunsmith I feel confident in though. Seems like they've all left town....

Jayhawker

Marlin doesn't keep the 41 in their regular lineup. Rather they tend to bring out a model every 4-5 years or so, which then tends to sell out quickly from my experience. It's just one of those chamberings that you have to snag when you come across it and not worry too much about the price.

Jayhawker

Nice looking rifle, but the 32 S&W Long wasn't brought out until 1896, I believe, and they place the rifle date at 1890. If that's correct, it would have to have been rechambered at some point, which would make it a good candidate for further rechambering to 32 H&R magnum.

Jayhawker

Where's the reloading bench?

Jayhawker

Congrats to Fresno State! As far as the fires - been there and lived through that. Keep your eye on the wind, the news and your escape path.

Jayhawker

Marlin did make a model 740 under the Western Field name in the 60s and 70s that, I believe, were marketed by Montgomery Wards. They were similar to the Glenfield line in that the metal work was pretty much regular Marlin stuff with inexpensive stocks attached. Still overlooked by collectors, they r...

Jayhawker

I have a newer model and simply won't sell it. It carries nice and is more accurate than I can hold. Like marlin shooter said, it really shines when reloaded in the 200-250 grain range. They are complicated rifles, and usually function just fine, but can be a real PITA when the timing gets off.

Jayhawker

Each state has its own definition of what constitutes an armory and the limitations on them. I just did a search for that topic for the state of California, but came up empty although I know I've read it before. I don't know if there is any way for the authorities to know what you may have stockpile...

Jayhawker

OK, I've got a question. Obviously you tag the buck that was shot, but what do you do with the other one? Can't really keep it if you only have one tag, can you?

Jayhawker

Maybe they are just trying to jump start the economy.

Better buy them now while you can!

Jayhawker

This topic got me to thinking.....appropriate warning here. Could it be that the 32 died out because it was too close in diameter to the German 8mm and the 30 was just considered more American in nature? I'm thinking back to Teddy Roosevelt's charge up San Juan Hill with the 30-40 Krag on one side a...

Mountain Home, Arkansas. It's still fairly inexpensive with plenty of hunting and fishing throughout the Ozarks.

I guess I can assume this will also apply to C&R license holders?

I'm not aware of any changes like this and can't find anything on the state attorney general's website. Anyone have additional information?

Like the Texians, there are quite a few of us that aren't going to give up easily or without a fight. Interestingly too, often I hear of some hair brained scheme pop up here in CA and all lament how leftist the loonies are out here only to find out that Illinois or Massachusetts already has a FOID c...

Well, I read your post initially but didn't revisit it to read the follow-up posts. I didn't realize there was a rhubarb brewing there. I guess I'll track it down to view the mischief for myself. I've often entertained the same type of thoughts of being able to whittle down my collection while leani...

Jayhawker

I'm thinking about getting a blued one.

Jayhawker

I think my next one will be the 450 Marlin, 1895M.

Jayhawker

Actually, I don't remember the last time I had the heat or the a/c on but it's been at least 4 years. Just haven't seen the need for it.

Jayhawker

But some will believe it, I'm sure.

Jayhawker

KWK,

Awkward in that I'll probably never get used to operating any rifle mechanism with my left hand. It's just not natural to me. I don't like pump shotguns for the same reason.

Jayhawker

Nice color, Noah, but does it match the rest of your outfit?

Jayhawker

I really like my pump, even if it is awkward as all get out to operate. Here's a picture. A Rem 760 chambered in 300 Savage and made in 1954.

Jayhawker

I remember during the gas wars the price would drop down to 19 cents. Normally it would be around a quarter. Like others have said, it was a lot harder to scrape together a dollar back then as well. Cruising the boulevard as a teen then was often dependent upon how much spare change we could pool to...

Jayhawker

On average, for bullets of equal construction, since the 45-70 throws a heavier bullet, those will tend to cost more. Just more material per bullet.

Jayhawker

Looks like a nice shooter.

Jayhawker

Years ago, it would have been the 444 hands down, but now it's got to be the Savage 99 chambered for the 300 Savage.

Jayhawker

Old Everholt or Wild Turkey are both good.

Jayhawker

I have a real fondness for the 300 Savage and the 444 Marlin - see below. I don't think there is a cartridge I dislike although there are quite a few that may be more powerful than I'd ever want. The only magnum I'd want to shoot would be in a pistol cartridge. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h232...

Jayhawker

I'm definitely a shooter at this point, making a point to get out to the range at least once a month. Haven't hunted in over 4 years and no burning desire at this point to go out and change that. I'm just happy shooting my hunting rifles.

Jayhawker

Here's another one that has some nice wood.

The higher velocities one gets from the higher pressures allow you to stretch out the distance a little bit, and, of course, there is a certain loss of machismo, as it were.
