It is like this Slick. When this forum was first organized, most, in fact nearly all, of the regular posters were refugees from an older and much beloved website that had been reorganized along the lines you mentioned. The original Sixgunner site used a format that had no separate categories, and ev...

Not because he's black - many Americans, myself included, would vote for Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice in a heartbeat. I'm pretty sure they're black - they're also competent. He's not electable because he's a bad liar. He lies as much as Bill Clinton (say 10 Hail Marys, wash mouth out with soap)...

Oh, and remember the Miami shootout guys who murdered a guy who was out shooting. It pays to be careful. That incident has been on my mind since I started reading this thread. I can't remember the last time I went to change, repair, or move targets without at least a sixgun on my hip, and generally...

I don't discount box magazine fed leverguns! My favorite levergu IS a box fed BLR. It is just that when someone mentions lever-guns, most of us, including me, visualize a Winchester or Marlin tube fed carbine. How about you?

Let's try this definition on for size: Lever-Action Rifle -- While in it's broadest sense the term "Lever-Action Rifle" can include such lever actuated single-shot rifles as falling-block or tilting-block actions such as Sharps, Ballard, Martini-Henry, Ithaca, Spencer, and Ruger rifles, th...

Sorry to hear about your setback and the kid's busted noggin. Don't give up though. Perhaps the time is not yet ripe to chase that degree. But the time will come. In May of 2007, my wife got her PhD. When she finished, we did not owe a penny. We had some beans and rice times but we got her through h...

I haven't read all the replies, so I might be repeating what someone else has said. In my experience, on-line classes are tougher than actual classes. Unless you have a good instructor, committed to actually teaching rather than just posting assignments and receiving them, you won't get a lot out of...

Who said anything about a million armed people? Can't a million law-abiding peaceable citizen meet in Washington DC to demonstrate for their God-given rights? I seem to remember many tens of thousands assembling for MLK's speech. Or how about the "way less than" a million man march? How a...

Have you read the book Unintended Consquences by Ross. I bought 3 ,2 to loan out and 1 to keep. Loaner are long gone have no idea where they are now. Good read if you can find one.............. Jim Taylor lent me a copy just after it came out. I read it in less than three days. Then I turned around...

douglas macarthur...

my dad was in the cavalry that year, too.

Know who his aides were?

Ike and Patton!

If you are not old now, you will feel plenty old enough in about 7 more years!

Happy Birthday young lady!

Please review the events of June 17, 1932. Then you'll know what would happen. Posse Comitatus does not apply in the District of Clumbia. :| You beat me to the punch! I had visions of unarmed veterans being herded out of Washington at bayonet point, and tanks rolling across their camp on the Anacos...

I beg your pardon, but Shelby Foote was not a Tennessean. He was born in, educated in, and largely grew up in Greenville, MS, about 35 miles from where I sit. Mr. Foote did not move to Memphis until the 1950's.

What else can you expect when the Archbishop of Canterbury tells the world that Sharia Law (Muslim religious Law) should over rule secular law in Britain? Sorry to say it, and no offense intended to Gamekeeper, but stuff like this, added on to the anti-knife laws, and the anti-gun, anti-hunting sent...

Is it a .40-65 Ballard, or a .40-65 Winchester? Doesn't really matter, all I can do about either caliber is quote Cartridges of the World. I can wax eloquent on the Rolling Block though. Rolling Blocks have only one failing, extraction is rather weak. The action is incredibly strong. Back in the lat...

That actually happened to the father of my Mom's best friend when I was about 9. Mr. Pittman was not naked, but the back gate on his long johns had popped open. When his old birddog Belle stuck her nose to his rump, he cut loose with both barrels of an old LC Smith and killed 32 chickens. He had to ...

I've had good luck using IMR 4198 in .45-70's. Forgive me for not sharing the load, but it is over max listed for 195 grain bullets in the latest edition of the Speer Manual. I was not overly worried because I was using cast bullets and the load was for a jacketed bullet.

Reminds me of a bumpersticker that reflects my view: "If fishing involved firearms, I'd be fishing" or something like that. It's a real man that can pull off wearing a kilt! The way I fish does involve firearms! And just because a feller is wearing a kilt doesn't mean he ain't packing iro...

Amici familia ab lectio est

That means:

Friends are the Family you choose.

For the last 30 years of so, I've had little contact with my blood family other than my parents.

The family I keep up with are those friends I've made family.

To attend Commencement Exercises at Mississippi State University, Starkville, MS, at 7:00 p.m. Friday May 4, 2007. Marcia Ivey-Hudson will have her Doctorate in Community College Leadership conferred at that time. After 7 long, hard, expensive years, it is over at last!!!!! Doc Hudson, grinning like...

He was doing stuff like that even 5 years ago.

There were some good folks I met over there, but the stuff got too deep in the Fall of '01 so I called it quits.

If it doesn't, you can say that you think Pope John Paul II was greater than John Browning, Sam Colt, and Elmer Kieth roled into one.

That ought to get their dander up.

I've not visited Greybeard since September, 2001, and the snooping etc was going on even then.

I quit and haven't regretted it.

If so, you've been hacked. I got some spam from this address and since is seemed somewhat familiar, I thought I'd notify the rightful owner.

I've heard that down Colorado way, a man might run 30,000 head of sheep and a hundred head of beef, but he would call himself a Cattleman.

I reckon 225 acres and 20 cows entitles you to be called a cowboy.

I half expected a photo of an old Soviet fighter plane.

I've been called Doc Hudson since I was a kid, and it kinda spread when I was in my 20's, and really started spreading when the Internet came along. I use it on all the various boards I visit, and in ancient times, even had a regular feature page at the old WWW.EARP.COM, Doc Hudson's Hideout. Now ab...
