The 24 Hour Campground is back up and running.

Mr. Miller has it right! The front of the cylinder is rebated and seals off sparks, lead shavings, high velocity gases, etc. from traveling out of the barrel/cylinder gap without being deflected forward so as not to injure anyone next to you when firing it. They also have a somewhat unique front sig...

I am having a difficult time believing SOMEONE would consider a World Famous Herter's Hudson Bay Model Perfect PowerMag Revolver ugly!

Joe,

She reminds me of a tom we had when I was a kid 45 years ago. She looks ready go to hunting! I had no idea cats live that long.

The first book of his that I purchased was many years ago. It is the most informative book on muzzleloading I have ever read.

I my memory serves me, Reggie White (Green Bay Packer great) died from sleep apnea. The real bad part is with the O2 levels low your heart rate increases which runs more blood through your kidneys. Your blood gets thicker over time by increasing red blood cells to carry more O2. Mine were elevated 3...

I have two rifles in .405 Winchester chambering. The Model 95 and 1885. The Hornady factory ammo shooting OK...Recoil not bad...a 405 grain 45/70 from a Winchester 1886 EL rocks you ,ore than the .405 in either of the above.

The most unusual that I have shot was a custom built four gauge caplock elephant gun!(or anything gun) Wicked, wicked recoil. Four ounce round ball, four ounces of powder. At six foot four inches and 300+ pounds I was very surprised when it nearly put me on my back side. Recoil caused a small loss o...

Greetings from the tundra Gabby! Welcome to the forum. As for a book to recommend, Phil Sharpe wrote a pretty good one a couple of years back. It was published by Funk & Wagnalls Company. Most of the data is a bit dated, but, it does cover many of the older cartridges that you find in leverguns....

BEEF!

You know I really don't feel that lucky, with all those LOTTO tickets I have in the trash. But, the odds gotta be better here on this. Please enter me too!

WOW! Cool photo Ted. I like these old B/Ws especially the ones with dogs in them. Quite the stringer full.

It looks as though someone is living out the Minutes of the Lower Forty stories. Corey Ford is alive and well!

It kinda has the look of the Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle from a few years back. I like it. Plus, with the cold weather trigger guard that you can get a gloved hand into, a guy ought to be able to hunt snowsnakes!

Hairy Clipper

I certainly do not want to rain on your parade, but, you fellas might want to check out the AKC website on the breed! Not in the sporting group, look in the working group. Seems they list him as a fishman not a hunter!

By the way, I always thought he was named after daddy...BO...Barack Obamanation.

One of my favorites came from a greeting card.

It has been almost a year since my shooting buddy Rolf passed away. A 6'10" lawyer! When he was still with us, we would regularly pick up a pizza, grab the rifles and go to the range with a thin sheeet metal gong of 12" diameter and set it up at 200 yards after work. We would shoot offhand...

Well, the snow has melted from the ground at Woodville Cemetary here in Waseca and ol' George Leonard Herter is probably ready to get out of his grave, a mere 800 yards from where I type this, and join in on this conversation. I am quite certain he would say, " I told you so...it is in my catal...

Terry, I am glad to hear that you are getting better. Now that the open wound has healed you should start getting some energy back. I had that same operation when I was 44 years old...some 13 years ago. I wonder how much weight loss you have had...I dropped about 45 pounds. The surgeon suggested eat...

You may want to forget the .36 and go for the .44 Walker. If a squirrel senses fear or peanut butter on your breath he WILL charge for certain and then leave you to be picked over by the the crows and buzzards.

Good Morning ya ol' Goat! The Winchester Model 100 Recall related to the fact that the firing pins were crystalizing and breaking. When broken, the pin would wedge forward and and when the bolt would close it would fire until the magazine was empty! As I recall the firing pin was replaced with a &qu...

Joe, I turned 18 in 1970, too! With a draft number of 44 the army called pretty early for me to get my physical. Which I failed twice! 4F=women and children go before I do. Before the draft I had serious thoughts of making the military a career, well so much for that. Life doesn't always turn out as...

It just doesn't seem right Nath. Hunting foxes without the horses and call of the bugle.

I always enjoy your stories and photos as does the Mrs. You must have quite the infestation of the sly little buggers.

Happy hunting!

I almost always go to the show in Faribault! Granted, it is only about 30 minutes or so from home, but, usually well attended with a good selection of gun and related items. It tends to be fairly even as to weapon type available. Although some years it seems to be more military stuff. But, you didn'...

TomD, I sent an e-mail with the cat photo attached. My guess is a leopard...but, that is a guess. I also found a dead lion picture that I forgot was there. Rolf was 29 at the time of the hunt. He had been reloading the .45/70 and the .444 and finally settled on the .405. Before he died he told me he...

TomD, Before my buddy passed away, I scanned all of his old color photos with the hopes of figuring out how to put them on a CD for his son. That has not happened yet.
