Re: God Bless Texas!!!!
Texas is always in my prayers - but for the border crisis, I assume? I'm hoping I did not miss a weather event that has taken lives!

A Boy Needs a Creek (Mike Rhinehart)
This article really struck a cord with me. Growing up north of Indianapolis, before suburban sprawl wiped it all out (after I became an adult and moved away), I was lucky to live in the county on an old farm that had been turned in 20-odd parcels, 1-5 acres each. And we had large fields and woods ri...

Re: Taylor's/Uberti "Smoke Wagon" 1873 SAA short-stroke 357
Very nice!
I really like the darker stain on that holster. It looks a lot better. I may have to do that on a few holsters myself.
So, probably a silly question, but I imagine you have to remove the barrel first before using the FC cutter, right?

Very nice, Nath! That is a bit over $400 USD here, and that's a great deal for a semi-auto. Y2K's first pump shotgun was a Hatsan "Escort" in 20 gauge, and its a great little shotgun (though he outgrew it fast).
