Have a fantastic Day! Do something fun.

Longmire was a great series. Fantastic finale. But it made the mistake of being a show I really enjoyed. That always leads to cancellation.

lthardman

Very, very sorry to hear this Jay. I will have a good thought for you and your family over the coming days.

I have a traditional whole house stand-by Generac Generator. And I love it. It is very reliable, operates on natural gas, and provides great peace of mind. Particularly as I am always busy in a First Responder mode during bad storms, and therefore not home to hook up a generator when the power goes ...

According to my wife, just slightly less than my IQ.

I don't mind that Remington is sending ammo to Ukraine I guess. But I sure wish I could find some 180 grain .30-06 in my local toy stores.

Maybe his reverse mortgage is past due.

Having an owl to watch up close is beyond cool. Congrats!

Great looking (and shooting) rifle. I would like to find an original 1876. The toggle link on my original 1873 has never failed me. I know the physics favor the more robust actions like on the 1886/1892/1894 models, but I love the looks of the 1873 and 1876.

Priority Knee Mail sent.

Sorry for your luck, Jay. I have had some eye openers myself. I was filling my truck gas tank and the pump was programmed to turn off at $100. As it wouldn't let me restart the pump using the same credit card, I left with the tank a little over three quarters full. Due to our crappy roads, I purchas...

I am pretty sure all the Winchester Model 1887 shotguns were pre-smokeless. The Winchester Model 1901 lever action shotgun was made for smokeless powder, but is only available in 10 guage. If you want 12 guage, you have to go with the Model 1887. That's my understanding anyway. By the way, the 1887 ...

Priotity Knee Mail for sure.

lthardman

Have a great day all.

lthardman

Thanks all. It has been a good day. And I did shoot something.

lthardman

Its on page 335 of the 11th edition of COTW. The editor at that time just re-hashed McPherson's information from the 9th. There truly was a "short Colt" and it was not a Schofield as Jim T. also reported to us. Rim size was different. The 45 Colt Government with its shorter case and small...

Knee mail en route.

Isn't fluoride added (less than 1 ppm) to many municipal water supplies at the purifying/pumping facility to prevent dental cavities?

(Although some water filters that people use strip it back out.)

lthardman

Agree with the above. That said, I believe the absolute proof that God loves us is His gift to us in the form of dogs. Having just lost mine, I feel the hole in my heart but still grateful for the gift I had.

lthardman

Front of the knee mail line. And tons of good thoughts.

I shoot the .351 SL. Winchester in the Model 1907 Self Loading rifle. The last time I purchased new ammunition for that rifle I bought it from Load-X Ammo in Santa Rosa California. They also offered the .401 at that time as well. The headstamp reads Jamison with the proper caliber. I get a bit nervo...

RIP Rush Limbaugh. Not surprising at all that he/Katherine would choose to make the announcement of his passing on his show. He truly appreciated his listeners.

Truly a day that all conservatives should mourn. No one that I know of can fill his shoes. Not Sean Hannity. Just my opinion.

lthardman

Very sorry for your loss. Will have a good thought for your family.

I am pretty familiar with Mammoth Tooth handled knives. On knives, it is generally accepted that while Mammoth Tooth is very hard and strong, it is also fairly brittle. It is really pretty much like stone, as that is pretty much what fossilized Mammoth Tooth has become. Congrats to the owner here. T...

Very, very sorry for your loss. It is a familiar hurt. And I have yet another one nearing that time.

Unfortunately, 32 Winchester Special has been a little pricey for the last five years. That price is not that far out of line.

lthardman

Kind of funny in a painful way.

lthardman

I was seriously burned by the USPS earlier this year. And they did not fully pay for the items even though I purchased sufficient extra insurance and they admitted they lost the packages. I made the decision then that I would no longer ship anything of value via USPS. I now ship exclusively by UPS a...

lthardman

My favorite Colt 1911. It saw service in both WWI and WWII. Not an A1 model, just a straight 1911. The holster is original to the gun.

lthardman

I have been subject to many ridiculous delays in shipping vis USPS. Many of them due to the absolute mess that must exist in the Detroit Distribution Center. I just had an item that reached Detroit on August 13 sit there until August 23 with no movement. That said, the purpose of this particular pos...

When I filed my federal tax return this year, it was rejected because someone had already filed using my taxpayer ID number. So I had to file a paper return to the IRS office in Fresno, CA. That is the IRS office that deals with fraudulent tax returns/identity theft. Iwas supposed to hear back from ...

Thanks folks. Shoveled mud most of the day. But always good to be on the handle end of a shovel rather than the other end on your birthday.

There is a difference between a cannon and a carronade. In that time frame many ships carried both. Most folks don't know there is a difference. A carronade often shot large diameter projectiles but used a smaller powder charge. Therefore they were considered a short range gun used as an anti-ship ...

Puppies can not regulate their temperature so if it chilly dont be afraid to put a heat lamp over the box. If you choose to use a heat lamp, be very, very careful. Our FD has responded to three fully involved house fires that started due to heat lamps being used to warm baby chicks. Make sure the h...

We lose power quite often. And, I used to travel a lot for work. So when the power went out my family was left in the dark until I could find someone to hook the generator up for them. Finally, I went with a whole house generator that automatically turns on and off as needed. I purchased a 21K Gener...

One movie that I have always liked is A Midnight Clear from 1992. It is set during WWII at the beginning of The Battle of the Bulge. For what its worth, I recommend it.

lthardman

I've had more than my share of very bad times. That said, many of them were my own fault. And I have to own that. I don't really care to go into the details, but they hurt. Thankfully, many of the bad times had some good times on either side of them. I will just say that I will have a good thought f...

lthardman

So very sorry for your loss, gamekeeper. I have experienced that loss four times so far, and I know I'm not far from the fifth. I have no words of comfort, only understanding and empathy.

One interesting note about the .351 Winchester Self Loading cartridge. (I have two Winchester Model 1907 SL's by the way. I bought my first one from a member of this Leverguns forum.) Some very early M1 Carbines were chambered in .351 WSL. These .351 M1 Carbines are extremely hard to find as there w...

Very sorry for your loss. It is an all too familiar pain.

Check Smokey Mountain Knife Works and look at the Kissing Crane knives. As an aside you might want to look at a Buck 112 automatic knife. They look very strong. That is probably correct. The brand of knife you asked about is probably Kissing Crane. Another option may be Eye Brand from Carl Schliepe...

lthardman

Thanks Jay!

lthardman

Thank you both. Its been a pretty good day.

lthardman

I shoot an original take down version in .30-06. I actually had it reblued a couple years ago because it already had a replaced barrel so the receiver and barrell did not match. So now all the metal surfaces match. My gun, my choice. But getting a new one in .405 sounds appealing.

I have had packages lost for up to three weeks, but they always arrived intact. Nonetheless, I insure everything. That insurance is very expensive, and I've never had to collect on it, but I buy it anyway. Very sorry for 1) the loss for both you and your friend's sons, and 2) that there are people i...

Very nice. And using vegetable oil was a good choice.

Knee mail sent. I am very sorry to hear this Jay.

I did, but I don't. I got a great deal on a pre-64 Winchester Model 94 in .32 Winchester Special about twenty years ago. I decided to leave it with my uncle on whose farm I have hunted since I was a teenager. He is the one who taught me to hunt and who I hunted with for over 30 years. Some of my you...
