Tradervic, a lot of leaf springs were made of 5160, an outstanding knife steel.

Fresh prayer from Oregon. Hope the clotbuster works its magic.

Bill in Oregon

Been there, done that.

Bill in Oregon

That was fun.

Bill in Oregon

Nice, Earl. Say hi to Butch for me.

Bill in Oregon

Gonna be low 80s today. Time to get the tomatoes in ...

Bill in Oregon

Earl, I obviously need to pay a whole lot more attention here. I am happy with the lush foliage of the wet side here, but miss the juniper country still. Wish I could have come along on your walk.

Bill in Oregon

Earl, my friend, good to hear you are getting out and popping some caps with your smallbores. Hope your knees are fully healed!

I always thought it was a rather expensive magazine for what it contained, and rarely bought it. It could be a sign that the cowboy action fad has seen its peak. With each passing day, there are fewer and fewer aging baby boomers who want to dress up in Gus hats and spotted chaps on Saturday mornings.

Bill in Oregon

Yes, mend soon, young man!

Bill in Oregon

I'm down, too. Praying for clarity for you, literally.

Bill in Oregon

That revolver just oozes class. Don't let loose of it again -- unless it is to me.

Bill in Oregon

Wish we had your striper fishery out here on the Left Coast.

Bill in Oregon

Ted, my Brittany, the Watson, was an artist at sneaking out for swims, just like Drifter. Miss that rascal.

The .25-35s are such sweet shooters.

Size comparison with LCP:

JN: Sorry your Oregon Coast tour was so unsatisfactory. Boy it can stay wet over there for days at a time, as you found. I haven't spent much time in a camper, but agree they tend to get smaller by the hour.

Bill in Oregon

Well, I just brought home the test bed 1911 .380 -- popped $110 extra for upgraded grips and three-dot sights that I can actually see. Ordered brass and dies and a box of the Lehigh Penetrators. Be interesting to see how the little dude performs. I think it is priced a little high, but the fact that...

Bill in Oregon

Buck, you are right. Finally found a shot of the gun field stripped.

Bill in Oregon

John, the HST looks like a great choice for 9mm and above.

Bill in Oregon

Looks like that Lehigh all-copper slug as loaded by Lehigh and Underwood is the go-to for personal defense with a .380.

Bill in Oregon

I'll admit that little Browning is somewhat dainty, but it does fire from a swinging-link locked breech just like the 1911. I would think it a bit sturdier than blowbacks, but I am no gun designer.

Bill in Oregon

Blaine, I was impressed by a Jayco Jay Flight Baja Edition trailer at an RV show in Redmond a couple of years ago. Seemed like it had a lot of clearance and was priced well. Do not confuse with the Jayco Baja line of pop-up camp trailers.

Bill in Oregon

I know "heavy" and .380 don't normally go together, but I have seen a number of threads in Google searching the topic about guys loading with 110-115-grain cast bullets with large meplat with potent results. I have found myself fascinated by the new Browning 1911-380, an am thinking this m...

Piller, I have had those kolaches from West when visiting daughter when she was going to Baylor. Outstanding!

Bill in Oregon

Thanks Terry. Guess I will pass on it.

Bill in Oregon

You brought home a daisy, mister!

Bill in Oregon

Sure hope that ended well, Jim.

Bill in Oregon

This stuff is made in Indiana. Hadn't heard of it until today. Anyone here use it? Good brass?

Bill in Oregon

To think what He went through for the likes of me makes me want to curl up in shame in a dank hole under a rock.

Bill in Oregon

Hondo, glad you are well enough to build gorgeous rifles again. I agree scrapers are almost miraculous tools, and what a great tip to burnish with a piece of hickory. Rusty, .40 also is the minimum here in Oregon for deer and antelope. I am in line for a .40 flint poor boy with Burton barrel and Cha...

Bill in Oregon

That Indian is just drop-dead gorgeous.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. I will be shooting the Lee 325-grain 476 from a Bisley Super Blackhawk in .480 Ruger at 900 -1000 fps. Frankly, if Ruger made a push-through sizer in this caliber, I'd buy it and put on gas checks, but they don't, so I will see how this bullet shoots unchecked and repo...

Bill in Oregon

Blessings and a safe journey to you both, Jim.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks fellas. Back doesn't hurt any worse this morning at 63 than it did last night when I was 62, so I am taking that as a darned positive development.

Bill in Oregon

My understanding is that a bullet designed for a gas check can be fired with perfect accuracy without same. Is that your experience as well, assuming velocities are kept moderate?

Bill in Oregon

Kid, spring sprung here weeks ago. Daffodils are already about finished. Had a frog in our water feature this morning!

Bill in Oregon

Great thread Nath. I am really admiring your air pistol, even though I am having a lot of fun with my cheap Crosman 2240. Will look yours up.

Bill in Oregon

That's sure a nice one.

Bill in Oregon

Really wonderful job. Glad it is working so well.

Bill in Oregon

David: Where you at, son?
That is some mighty handsome iron right there. I have long admired the Remingtons, but never owned any other than the 1858s.

Bill in Oregon

Well I got the base pin back in, only to find the ejector won't move but an inch before binding. Guess I need to disassemble and check for swarf or burrs. You'd kinda think they'd catch this stuff at the factory.

Bill in Oregon

I'll try again Chuck. Haven't used the 3-pound yet, but might use a rawhide ...

Bill in Oregon

Anyone else have trouble getting the base pin back in on their Ruger Blackhawk or Super Blackhawk? I have a new-to-me five shot .480 Bisley, and either I am doing something terribly wrong or Ruger has gotten the tolerances so close everything has to be dead perfect. Pin is currently stuck half way i...

Bill in Oregon

I'll be darned.

Some folks are very private about health matters. Good to hear he is getting more active. It's a long haul at our age ...

Bill in Oregon

I see he is filing reviews again, so assume he is feeling a lot better. But has anyone heard a recent update? I just finished a book on the final days of Stonewall Jackson, and it was the pneumonia he had contracted before being wounded by the 18th North Carolina that killed him. Having had a bout w...

Bill in Oregon

A moose AND norovirus. Oh, man!

Bill in Oregon

AJ, you have my sincere gratitude. This information might change my life if I can get my physician on board.

Bill in Oregon

I am always simply awed in the presence of such talent!
