Geez Louise........I sure hope so !!!

I've never owned a 41 Mag, but I think a Freedom Arms SA in 41 Mag would be the berries..

The Bowie Knife was legally prohibited in Texas even before the pistol. And it stayed prohibited long after civilians were legally allowed to carry a pistol.

Guessing legality is a blade length issue (?).

This would be my Marlin 30-30 CB

TraderVic

Ok, was thinking something like that from your description. I guess I've always carried a sheath knife attached to my belt (hanging outside, off the belt). You and others must have a good reason to carry like that.

TraderVic

Yep.......none of us have ever seen the gun and ammunition market so out of balance as it is and has been in recent times.

TraderVic

If I'm understanding this right, the knife (and sheath) snug into your wasteline inside your pant and belt ?

TraderVic

Well... the roof is made out of 16ft cattle panels and a tarp so I just popped them back up and put in a center support. The wife's green house is a pallet on the North wall and then down all the way to the ground on the South so its steeper and stouter. Perhaps the 12 ft span was a bit much but I ...

TraderVic

73 degrees.......probably won't feel those temperatures until April at the very earliest.
Yeah, well, anyway.......

TraderVic

Yep, you've got great friends there Scott.
Question ; What's a "carrying Bowie Knife" size wise ? Your older one must be a generous length ?

TraderVic

She was a real GEM for sure !

TraderVic

Sorry about the double post, don't know what happened there........brain phart I guess

Bill, I drive through Sauk County several times every year when traveling to Madison.
Pretty country, all part of The Driftless Area.

I think it's time to take my annual ride with Gus and Woodrow starting this evening. The forecast here (WI) is 5° Saturday and 4° Sunday (colder where Lenn is though). The Lopi woodstove in the living room is burning 24/7, putzing in the basement re-rigging six tipups (for ice fishing) and several j...

TraderVic

Yep.....there it is !

when i first arrived in secret cove to begin a career of commercial fishing, all the "old-timers" who had houses in the cove had those phones connecting their houses. and a list of the ring pattern for who you wanted to call. everyone in town listened in because, you know, they could! Ver...

My tractor mechanic recommended switching from straight 30W to 5 or 10 - 40 quite awhile back. Yep, in the north country weak batteries in anything don't contribute to reliable starts. I also use Heet brand winter diesel treatment in my fuel......or at least until my 1 or 2 containers last. I can't ...

TraderVic

I suspect Marlin will take awhile to get production moving the way it needs to and reintroduce their signature lines of leverguns.
Hopefully they'll bring back numerous "limited/exclusive runs" of unique rifles like they used to do for Davidsons.

TraderVic

Lenn, I too, wish I were much closer to help you out a bit. I would drive my tractor over and plow you out. The old IH766 is a pretty good old gal. I set the timer 1 - 1 1/2 hrs ahead of plowing so she'll start somewhat warm. Much easier on the diesel. I threw a chain last week while plowing. First ...

Years ago (about 2001 or so) I got a good buy on a Marlin 45/70 Guide Gun. I hunted with it a few years, definitely shorter than I was used to - but it was pretty accurate. Decided I didn't like the ports (too darn loud and powder residue all over, me included). I talked to Marlin technical shop and...

TraderVic

The first Marlin made by Ruger is out now and is a 45/70 model. I agree with Vance above..

TraderVic

A classic caliber in a classic rifle with family history from the beginning. What a story and a most excellent Christmas present from your Dad.

TraderVic

Thank you Jim. Through the centuries, many have rejected Jesus Christ, and continue to do so. I believe significant reasons for this rejection is many don't want to give up their sin, many refuse to acknowledge accountability to the creator, thus refusing to surrender their will to Christ. Many refu...

TraderVic, got the recipe? GameKeeper, like your quote from the Ringo Kid! Gonna watch it tomorrow for the umtheenth time! :D If I was still partaking in adult beverages, my recipe for The Rittenhouse drink would be a small glass of good beer followed by three shot glasses of smooth bourbon whiskey...

TraderVic

Cool !
At this latitude it's always positive when our days start getting longer again. Unfortunately, the days start getting shorter June 22nd. Wish it would be like the end of August....or so.

TraderVic

I no longer use alcohol, but a friend told me there's a new drink here in Wisconsin called "The Rittenhouse" (not kidding BTW) ;

A chaser followed by three shots

TraderVic

Thanks Jim !
They sure do look like keepers.
So........how are they stamped on the barrel ?
Marlin = "JM"
Remington = "REM"
Ruger = ?

TraderVic

Dang, for some reason the pics won't open. I sure hope Ruger-Marlin produces the high quality lever guns we've been waiting for.

TraderVic

This is an interesting new Wrangler, but I can't find it listed anywhere.

TraderVic

I've been deaf in my left ear since I was 32 when an acoustic neuroma (brain tumor) was removed.
I see my audiologist next month to see about getting refitted with a new set of hearing aids.

TraderVic

There's a gun shop about 1 1/2 hours away that always has 4-6 Model 71's on hand. Never handled one, but would like to.

TraderVic

Rural addresses always take longer, at least they do around here.

TraderVic

Looks like a great "starter" revolver, maybe a good prerequisite to a similar single six in the future.

TraderVic

Dang, that's a pretty good day's work for a 22 revolver !

TraderVic

Congratulations !!
You'll soon wonder how you ever had time to work

TraderVic

$5.00 for a brick ($.09 for a gallon of ethyl gas, $0.90 for a carton of Marlboro's).

TraderVic

It's too bad they didn't have Tom Selleck overseeing the script and guns for period correctness. I've seen similar blunders in some of the old John Wayne movies as well. Model 92's and 94's in earlier period movies.

TraderVic

It looks pretty good..

On another forum someone mentioned this new Western, "Old Henry". Wondering if anyone here has seen it ?

Speaking of Grandad's Model 12, I have the Model 12, 20 ga my Grandfather had, then my Father, now me. Nickel Steel is on the 25" barrel. The serial number suggests it was made in 1916. Not to wander off the thread, the second Winchester to come down to me from Grandad is a Model 1890 pump, oct...

It must be a lot warmer where you are. It would need to be a very warm campfire (bonfire maybe) as it's about 25° up here.

TraderVic

My very good friend just bought a new BLR 7mm-08 this past summer. He mounted a Leupold 2-7x at my recommendation. He has always preferred "see through" mounts, which I don't - but it's his rifle.

I'm in my recliner, been sipping coffee, a bit tired from plowing out my farm driveway which is just shy of a 40 length. We got 12+ inches of snow last night, the old IH766 wore me out today. If only Santa would bring me a heated cab :) The woodstove is purring, the Christmas tree is now up, but not...

I'm sitting pretty good with about five boxes (3 Rem CoreLokt, 2 Hornady Whitetail) plus reloading components.

Well, I have two Ruger 357 DA revolvers ; a GP-100 SS short lug 6" and a GP-100 SS 3" Wiley Clapp, which I really like. Am ordering a Simply Rugged pancake holster for conceal carry. Will alternate the 3" with my Sig Sauer P938. At first I thought you were asking about a 357 levergun,...

I'm relegated to hunting with a crossbow. Rotator Cuf surgeries on both shoulders have restricted most activities that require much shoulder strength for very long.

TraderVic

Interesting comparisons. For some silly reason I've always thought of Ruger's Bisley hammer more comfortable to "work".
A Freedom Arms revolver will always be on my wish list.
