Awesome work! I have an 89 rifle in 38-40. It's a great shooter, but I'm glad I didn't have to make it!

OldWin

Wow! Man, you got some classy stuff.

OldWin

I hear you, Lenn! I started out tree banging with enduros. It's just in the blood. I almost didn't stop for lunch today. Just finished mowing and trimming the lawn. Having a cold one on the porch but the skeeters found me! Know what? I've been going now for about 24 hrs. I'm hittin the hay! Night fe...

OldWin

Yeah, it's getting long for me on the ole Softail. Buckin wind and eatin bugs. Wouldn't have it any other way! It's tougher now but I still want to feel like I'm riding. Did 450 miles in 8 hours a few years ago but I don't see me doing that again real soon. Didn't figure 270 was bad after working al...

OldWin

Well, I shoulda been working on the Jeep.......but it was just too perfect a day for a ride. Air was clear as a bell, just cool enough for leather and be comfortable. Rode 270 miles through the mountains, over into NH to the White mountains, up the edge of the river and back into Maine to Rangeley. ...

OldWin

Good stuff!.......Good guy. Pitchy's the best.

OldWin

Yeah. I want one of those rifles that makes it not matter if you can shoot. You know, gut shot, leg shot, don't matter. They go right down.

OldWin

Thanks, man. If I go anywhere good, I will send pics.

OldWin

Good story. My family has been here for generations on both sides. Both came down from Canada, like most around here. One, ahead of a posse, is the rumor. :D This is the only place I've ever hunted and I don't feel like I've missed out on anything. We had property and a camp in fairly "big wood...

OldWin

Hear that buddy! Tomorrow is supposed to be decent.....finally. I should work on the Jeep, but may sneak in a ride.

OldWin

Nice, buddy. Now crank that sucker up and hit the road!

OldWin

Nice! Yup, there is no way I'm gonna do it by hand. My bike has a 200 rear tire and its pretty stiff. Don't want to stave up my 6" wide chrome spoked wheel! Next time I need a tire, I'll have to ride out and have you change it buddy! Course, it'll be half wore out by the time I get back home. :...

OldWin

That must be how I got mine.

OldWin

Nice work! Very pretty grips, indeed.

OldWin

The 30-30 is one of the most underrated cartridges there is, and has been since the sixties. It became fashionable for gun writers to dump all over it. People who didn't read gun rags kept right on doing what had been done for over 60 years with it. If you do what you're supposed to when hunting; be...

OldWin

Happy Birthday guys.

OldWin

Hahaha nice one buddy. The plop that refreshes.

OldWin

Good job bud. Bet the lift makes it nice. I have a bike jack for mine. Helps some.
Wish I had a lift for the Jeep. Been rolling around under that for about two weeks as time allows.

OldWin

Pretty neat.
Yup. If it's something you shoot well and are comfortable with, that's the one to be packin'.

OldWin

Pretty classy setup old buddy! Real purty.

OldWin

It's the opposite here. UPS has it all over FedEx.

OldWin

Good job Griff. Those wouldn't be the ones I sent you would they? If so, I hoped they helped buddy. The ones pictured are not... but the ones you sent were finished a few minutes before... before I took the picture to show the "before & after". Good deal Griff. Just happened to think ...

OldWin

Wow. Glad it didn't get lost, bud. Keep me posted on how you like that tire. Mine is good now, but I will need one next year maybe.

OldWin

Good job Griff. Those wouldn't be the ones I sent you would they? If so, I hoped they helped buddy.

OldWin

Yup. It's a great bunch here. Here is some more of Pitchy's talent. I treasure this gift from my friend.

OldWin

Yup. I've said it for years. Nothing is new.
I've used it as such on one of my half mag 38-55 carbines.

OldWin

Wow! Ding, ding, ding. Rifle of the year, right there.
Very, very nice sir.

OldWin

Good spot, Six. I didn't notice the difference in type of wood. Now Dave, don't let ole Six sell you those stories about me. I'm a really, really nice guy. :D And don't even have a buffalo coat! Too bad about those missing Colts.......I will put up some flyers so folks can keep an eye out for em. Yu...

OldWin

Speakin of hammers......
Any of you guys need any 92 or 94 hammers? I got a ton of em. I hate to sell em, but I have to make room for all these pre war Colts.

OldWin

Now hold on Nath. I've been in old Six's secret chamber of the worlds coolest guns. Yup, that's right! :D I've been sworn to secrecy under penalty of death, but I can tell you........there is stuff everywhere! All over the walls, on top of stuff, under stuff, inside stuff, hanging stuff. While my he...

OldWin

Welcome aboard! If you hang out with us, that old 94 will soon have a lot of company. Nice old carbine! I've always liked the ones that have been there and "seen the elephant" best. As others have mentioned, the saddle ring has been removed. That exact method has been seen frequently in my...

OldWin

Pretty slick Pitchy! It's neat how designs that are hundreds of years old can still work pretty well.

OldWin

I've heard of that place for years, but have never stopped in. I for get we are so close, MH. I will have to take a ride down that way and check it out.

OldWin

Welcome aboard! You're in a great place. Good score on that 99!
Nothing wrong with bolts, but they will never have the "cool" and "panache" of a lever.

OldWin

Tom always gets the nice stuff.......but....what I see in those pictures is that mean car that left smokin' tires on my driveway that the streaks are still there. :D ---6 Good score, Tom. If you did burn that patch........IF......it probably was only cause you were trying to escape with that sweet ...

OldWin

Wow, nice!
Happy for you Lenn. That's the kind of thing YOU do for folks.
That's why Jason (another good guy), did it for you.
What we put out, we get back in return. That's why this is such a great forum. Good people here.

OldWin

Sorry for your loss. It's never easy.
Sounds like you gave her a good life.

and in time that baby will be yours.

Good plan! But it's a long way to his place.
Not as far as it is to yours, though........

Guess ole FW has the upper hand at your place.

OldWin

That's cool buddy! I've never seen one of those. Pretty clever, Lenn.

OldWin

Nice one, bud! Now, a 15" 92 is short enough to stick down your pantleg and walk away with a stiffy. :D My buddy gave me a 15" Marlin baby carbine in 38-40 to play with and shoot a couple years ago. Think I posted pics here. His grandfather got it for four bucks. :shock: I offered him 10 t...

OldWin

Nice bikes guys. Love the old FLH's ( you already knew that, Pitchy! ).
Nothing that old or cool, but here is my 08 FXSTC,

OldWin

I've got a '43 Smith Corona 03A3 that someone had already taken the collector value from. I built a psuedo scout out of it in 2012. Its a great shooter and a neat rifle.

OldWin

A beautiful machine. More than the sum of its parts by far.
Good show, Supermarine.

OldWin

I've had em that shot high, but it's always been carbines with a pinned insert. These sights got filed or worn down and can cause serious elevation problems. The 30wcf should suffer the least cause it's a flatter shooting cartridge than the other offerings of the day. While your rifle wears what app...

OldWin

I don't think a 260gr at 1600fps will be all that bad out of the .44. I've always heard what a kicker the 44 is out of a 92 or 94 but just haven't found it to be the case. Some will depend on the rifle. Rifle, carbine, stock configuration. I've driven 240s out of a Browning 92 to those levels and it...

OldWin

Good stuff! That sounds like great morning.
Thats a pile of quality iron right there.

OldWin

Nice work, Lenn. Gotta love stuff like that.

OldWin

Good job buddy!
You can pipe engine exhaust in the holes too. Then they get a permanent dirt nap.

OldWin

If you can't carry it on your back or in your hand, it will get you killed. Mobility, stealth, and a willingness to walk away from your stuff before it's too late is the key. Dead snowflakes as far as the eye can see will bring on the threat of disease. Game will be very scarce due to survivors hunt...

OldWin

It's true! How do you think I got outta Six's place with half a pickup load of stuff!

And I got dibs on that Ruger, Six.

I missed the Smith........that's not like me. Must be slippin.
