To say that the leveractions were the assault weapons of their time is an accurate assessment. When you start with a Henry Rifle, 16 shots in less than a minute vs a muzzle loader, that's some serious firepower. Bingo! It is all relative. The bow and arrow was an assault weapon compared to a spear...

Happy birthday fellas!

OH MY GOOD GRACIOUS - is that a huge tree!

Great news, Jim!

Almost.

Given some of what passes for target shooting I've seen at public ranges, I have to say some shooting just reinforces horrid practices!

And exactly why I will never give up mine...

Congratulations Ted! Prayers up for Sarah!

Happy Birthday!

That doesn't happen every day!

Raising your kids right!!!

Hmmm... what do all those states have in common?...

. One of my kids was born on Pearl Harbor Day, so our family has a built-in reminder, even though only a couple are alive who were alive at the time. Not that many of 'us' are around who remember the Challenger Explosion, for that matter. Think of it - the same is true for a huge part of the popula...

Congrats Bill!

Thanks fellas!

Happy birthday fellas!

When I arrived at church this morning the flag was at full staff. I promptly (and correctly) lowered it to half staff.

It was indeed way to quiet on the topic today. We should never forget.

THat looks like a crack that was there and possibly repaired many years ago. Still hurts to look at though. Bingo! I bought it last year (or the year before) at a gun show. Was looking for a functional hammered antique double barrel. Something to hang in my office, not get used, but capable of bein...

John, to get the close-up view, the slippers are not in the frame. It is mine.

Happy Birthday!

So, Pietta will hide their hideous marking for Cimarron, but not for their own guns? I need to offer my services for their marketing department!

Thanks Jim!

I find casting so relaxing...

THE ABSOLUTE BEST Christmas story is 2000 years old. There are books and movies about it. Some are good and some are not so good. There is preaching about. Again, some ain't so good and some is great. And there are lots of versions of it according to the customs and traditions of the place they are...

Very nice! I need to shorten the cylinder pin on a couple of my SAA clones. It is very annoying!

I don't remember - does Cimarron sell both Uberti and Pietta made revolvers, or just Uberti ones?

Oh that is very cool!

Great job Andy!

Blasphemy!

On not seeing "Die Hard". It is most certainly a Christmas movie!

It's not hard. Use a good sharp file, draw filing, and go slow. Clean it up with fine sandpaper ... depending on how polished you want it.

Thanks Jim!

Happy Birthday Shasta!

Hi Jim. Who is the manufacturer of the gun? Pietta Hi Jim - IIRC correctly, this is the one where you carefully used a draw file to remove the hideous info script Pietta plastered in such obvious places on the guns they make. Am I remembering correctly? Yessir ... that is the one. And it is going o...

Someday... probably not in my lifetime, but they are coming...

Which probably explains why the USPS is so far gone...

I've got a couple of them and they are fantastic. Ordered a hollow-base .38 wadcutter mold a couple-few years ago (to use in 1851 conversion cylinders), and they work great!

Thanks for the hard work fellas!

Great one!

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you are all still in a turkey coma!

That explains it!

Happy belated birthday guys!

I wish I had got the shingles vaccine. I had an attack of that stuff that started Nov. 5th. I had severely underestimated how bad it could be. I'm still hurting from it, and apparently it can last several weeks to months. Hope you get better soon, Ted. For as bad as the shots were (for me, think a ...

Hey, they had it - especially the Bullseye - which beats any store around me.

I'm trying to decide now what to do with decades of old gun magazine. When I was in college I discovered a stash of my Dad's old NRA "American Rifleman" magazines from the 60's. I read those instead of my textbooks, and thoroughly enjoyed them. it was a look into the not-too-distant past. ...

Happy Birthday!

Both of my grandparents on my Dad's side were born in 1897. My grandfather died of cancer a few years before I was born, but I got into my early teens before my Dad's mom passed away. We shared a birthdate, which was always fun. I was fortunate to know my maternal grandparents very well. My grandfat...

Not sure this belongs in the "politics" section, but it is certainly off-topic for the main section. I did something today that I have not done in years - went to see a movie in a theater. Y2K and I both like science fiction (and Mrs. YK hates it), and are fans of the "Predator" ...
