My local toy shop owner has authorisation to buy prohibited weapons mainly for deactivation, he asked me if he could try a few guns out at my place, I had a ball untill the landlord informed me the villagers were panicking thinking war had broken out...

gamekeeper

The only sub machine gun I have fired was a SA61 Scorpion, it caused a minor S storm in the village,, folks wanted to know what was happening in the woods..

Really great photos and story Jay, I love that knife too.. :mrgreen: I often wish that I had a .22 pistol when I was gamekeeping it would have been useful but alas our stupid gun laws ment I could only legally use it for target shooting at a police approved club. I did later buy a .22 revolver but n...

gamekeeper

Howdy Ms Boots good to see you back...

gamekeeper

Congratulations Bill...

gamekeeper

Good one..

gamekeeper

OS, I would feel mighty well armed with that H&R over here in the old country, it would sure beat a sharp stick.

Still dry and temps in the 30s nothing doing here not even any wildlife to look at from the window.

gamekeeper

Some days plans just don't work out.... I hope someone gets some use out of all that Ash and Cherry wood.

gamekeeper

I have found Remington sub sonics to be inconsistent in the past, I would only buy them if nothing else was available.

gamekeeper

I only wish I could attend, already picked out my first buy...a good old Hammer shotgun made in my home town...

gamekeeper

Yes that plumb color doesn't bother me either I have had a couple of guns that had it.

gamekeeper

OS, I found this on the Ruger Forum. The phenomenon we note in blued Rugers known as "plum" coloration has been the subject of considerable discussion over the years. This is usually explained as being the result of certain elements in the investment-cast steel Ruger uses for certain parts...

gamekeeper

Thanks for posting, interesting bit of history.

gamekeeper

I am really saddened by this news, I watch all his videos and like the format and Paul Harrell's personality.

gamekeeper

The South West is the only part of your country I have visited (can't count Atlanta airport) and I loved every bit of it...🌵 Jim T says AZ is getting too many folks moving there so NM sounds like a good place to visit. Temp struggled to reach 40f today but the sunshine was a welcome change. The road...

gamekeeper

Well I sure fell for that one...

gamekeeper

Me neither...

gamekeeper

Them there HHC gummy bears are available over here but you don't get many for your money, I ain't got too many mobility problems but I'll sure remember Six's advice when I do... 8) I never messed with anything but alcohol and nicotine back in the day and glad I did then as I couldn't afford to mess ...

My first motorcycle back in 1963 was a BSA Bantam I think a 1951 model cost me £15 quid. I more than had my money's worth of fun on that little bike.

A well pleased landowner means lots more opportunities to hunt in the future, well done and yes can those foxes stink

I once had to visit a so called animal lover who had 36 foxes in pens

the stink followed me back into my car

Good luck with the deer..

gamekeeper

I have to admit my days on two wheels are over :( I did enjoy motorcycling but now my old bones prefer a vehicle with a good heater plus the roads over here are not as motorcycle friendly as they were. Thinking of you guys with the Colts got me to thinking, 1878 Colt made a very nice looking shotgun...

gamekeeper

It's truly amazing what those youngsters can achieve after starting life with so many disadvantages …

gamekeeper

I'm waiting for the range report.......

gamekeeper

Walt, that's a nice looking Colt, I'm really envious of you guys but happy you can still enjoy some freedom when it comes to firearm choices. I never thought I would like those cordless chainsaws but after using one I was impressed, if I'm ever lucky enough to need another chainsaw I think I will go...

gamekeeper

Ouch OS but at least you are back to playing golf again

Yet another grey and wet day,

gamekeeper

Fascinating wildlife, my son and his wife are on their way back to Australia after 12 months in NZ he sends me photos of the wildlife quite often.

gamekeeper

Cool family history, that "last in first out rule" although sounds fair it is not always the best way to keep an efficient team.
Great photo.

gamekeeper

That is indeed a very important letter and it adds greatly to the legend of the bravery of those who fought to defend the Alamo.

gamekeeper

That is interesting but very sad, from what I have read Andersonville was not a place anyone would want to end up in.

gamekeeper

It's my understanding that Louis Imperato was president of Iver Johnson in the seventies & imported the Erma designed & built 22 levergun. As well as importing some other European produced firearms. He was also the owner of the Black Powder Firearms Company that did the finish work on the C...

gamekeeper

Good job it's not beer I hate to see waste...... I wonder where that idea of using a sword to open Champagne came from probably a French thing

The rain here never seems to stop ....

gamekeeper

An excellent post for the start of the New Year and a really great looking combo ....

gamekeeper

Did you see any interesting tracks in the snow? Bigfoot perhaps

gamekeeper

Not really a leather dressing but it works well on boots.... Plus I like the name...

gamekeeper

I know I would have lost a lot of chances on taking squirrels if I had to crank the lever first, half cock is fine.

gamekeeper

The story I have heard is that the lever action .22 Erma and designed by Louis Imperato, father of Anthony (of Henry Arms) Louis Imperato, after Erma went bust he bought the rights and that's how Henry repeating arms came to be.

gamekeeper

Jim, that was a hard act to follow but you have done good...I'm sure your Dad's proud.

gamekeeper

The foot trails will be fine, sit a spell with your pretty wife in the warm and pull a cork out of whatever ya' fancy...

Yes and I believe it's an historical fact that Queen Victoria was not amused either....

gamekeeper

Well the New Year started as the Old Year finished with the same old rain...

gamekeeper

A Happy New Year Walt and to all Levergun lovers and their families....

gamekeeper

Bill, in the UK that would be classed as a disguised weapon and is required to be on a section 5 licence, much more difficult to get than a FAC which would mean jumping through hoops from now till next Christmas with no guarantee of success.....

Interesting little airgun though...

gamekeeper

I nearly didn't watch because I thought it would be about an old M16.........but it was really refreshing to see someone do things properly for a change and to see that old leveraction running so well... 8) I couldn't watch some gun maintenance videos on a Russian channel as they were using pliers a...

I know that feeling all to well

We have lots of laws that make buying a firearm difficult I just wish we had as many for selling them....

gamekeeper

I watch zero news or TV all my viewing is on YouTube, far more entertaining and educational too. One thing that surprised me was the dozens of videos on the 16 gauge I bought, the only problem is they are all in Russian :? I saw one where they were hunting Moose but I think some Russian dude with a ...

gamekeeper

Excellent job all round, well worth the effort

gamekeeper

Good day out and nice looking birds too

gamekeeper

My first leveraction was a Erma .22lr it was reliable and a accurate little rifle and served me well when I was gamekeeping. I would have no hesitation in buying a Henry H001.

gamekeeper

Good luck, I'd love to take game with an 8 gauge, only used one once but I liked it...
