That is what Thomas Jefferson did. He cut out everything to do with the supernatural, miracles, and the divinity of Jesus. Whereas I admire TJ for almost all of his other works, he missed the mark here. Either you believe what Jesus said (John 14:6) or not. Either Jesus is the Son of the Living God,...

green with envy

ON THIS DAY in 1775, the Patriots fought the British at the Battle of Bunker Hill near Boston, the first major battle of the war. Ordered not to fire on the advancing 2,000 British regulars "until you see the whites of their eyes," more than 3,200 Patriots took out half of the enemy soldie...

And proactively pardoned them... almost like he knew they were guilty as sin...

Happy birthday DT!

What does that mean?

I was thinking the same thing!

Happy Father's Day fellas!

We are good. My rain gauge only goes to 5 1/2 inches and it was totally full when we got home from Raton this afternoon. I’m not in a place where we need to worry about flooding. Good to hear! I swear they picked up the state of South Carolina and put it in Florida. Rains almost every afternoon now...

Overall, 30%. But I do have one lever-action shotgun in the mix.

... our men and women down range, in theater in the Middle East. And for the innocent civilians on both sides of the shooting between Israel and Iran. Of course, given that Israel is targeting military and command locations, and Iran is targeting civilians, my prayers aren't equally dispersed...

to the US Army, our beloved flag - and to President Donald Trump! Just finished watching the 250th birthday celebration for the U.S. Army (parade, fireworks, music) in Washington. It was FANTASTIC! Thank you to all who have served (or are serving) in our oldest military branch. This was a celebratio...

Saw there was flooding in San Antonio. Hopefully you and yours are safe!

Very cool!

Happy belated birthday fellas. Tried to post this yesterday, but it just locked up again...

I was thinking the same thing! Like me posting a picture without any slippers in it.

Good to see you posting, Blaine!!!

Agreed!

Prayers up. I am sorry for your loss.

Happy belated birthday Gary!

That is WAY cool!

Funny, Y2K and I just shot the SMLE a few weeks ago. It reminded me (since we were working our way through military bolt actions) that I still need a P14 or P17 in my collection!

I agree.... We need more DOGE! JBowen I agree. I shot off an email, and told them to put all money they saved back into ss and Medicare. see how it goes. or does that make too much sense? Only problem is that the politicians will then raid those funds too... just like they have been doing for decad...

all the time... at every level of government... never resting or relenting! SO, my own personal story with government ineptitude. :evil: When my FIL passed away in 2016 his wife did a quit-claim transfer (deed) to his four children for the oil and mineral rights of his property in rural Ohio. We sta...

Thanks Ray!

The grips are nice too, buy that pistol just screams STAGS to me.

I'm a 1911 guy too, first and foremost (well, for semi-automatics anyway).

Stags would really make it pop!

That is a sweet piece Tell me does case color have any BETTER Rust Protection than A High Quality Standard Blue???? Or is it mostly eye candy Either way its sick, congrats! IIRC, it was originally used as it produced a harder, more corrosion-resistant finish. I'm not sure that is truly the case. Bu...

While the Hi Power isn't my cup of tea (nothing wrong with it, I just found that a 1911 worked better), that right there is one pretty one. I recognized Esmeralda's work. The lady has talent. She does. I don't think she offers Browning Hi-Power/P-35 grips any longer (at least I didn't see them on h...

I took it with me when Y2K and I shot last. It shoots as nicely as it looks!

I picked up an unusual mold that I have not been able to find anything on. Three cavity, made of brass, with no sprue plate. No markings either. One of the round ball cavities measures out to .375-inches. So does the base of the oddly-shaped conical. But the other round ball cavity drops a .50-calib...

I didn't need another P-35/Hi Power. But "need" hasn't defined my collecting for a long time. :wink: I had seen several ads for a color case-hardened P-35. I figured the pictures either were touched up, or they picked the best one they could find. But I was out of town earlier in the month...

Today's the first day it wouldn't just bounce me out after hanging up for a while.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Laughing at the song, not the post. When Y2K was young, when he heard the song "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", he'd get to that verse, singing along, and say... " he had 32 guns in his pocket for fun, and a laser in his shoe! " :lol: :lol: :lol: I think I probably said ...

Happy B-Day!

It may be worth buying from the company just to support their name!

My FIL owned a Christmas Tree farm in Ohio when my wife and I were engaged. She used to work it during every spring break in high school and college. We decided to come down one spring to "camp" there in his camper, with another couple. Both the guys were looking forward to shooting. :D So...

Now I'm hungry!

Nope.

And my son is known here as "Y2K", originally "Ysabel Kid's Kid"...

Well, big "6-1"? I guess not that big. Thanks John! Happy belated b-day 3008magtip!

Happy belated b-day!

Wait a minute - a rabbit in England? I saw a movie once where one of those suckers took out several knights. Vicious little suckers... You are lucky to come out of that one alive, Nath!

I've always assumed it was a combination of the tiny original rim and the straight-sided case that let black powder fouling blow back into the action that kept the .45 Colt from being chambered in leverguns. I also read those were the reasons why. I didn't realize when I got my Winchester 94AE that...

They did not have .45-60 WCF. Oh well...

Happy belated B-Day!

Great score! It's been a long time since I've seen a can of Red Dot in a store!

I was. I couldn't log in on my personal computer for a week. Or rather, it would start logging in, I'd get the blue circle of frustration, and then it would puke out.

Baco flavored crackers and "snuggles" shaped hot dog buns. I miss them both!

Very nice!

Happy B-Day!

Way, way back - 40 years ago when I was in college and living in an apartment off campus, my roommate decided to get a boa constrictor for a pet. It was about 5.5 feet long, and just one long muscle. Boring pet, so he promptly ignore it most days. I felt bad for it (silly, I know), so when I got bac...

Happy belated B-day!
