I used to see deer almost every day where I used to live but I even got excited today when I saw a squirrel for the first time in months. I would rather have wildlife for neighbours than people anyday at least with wildlife you can take out any trouble makers if you really have to. Actually did some...

Nice idea for rainy days Jim, you now have a Parlour pistol... A gallery gun, Flobert gun, parlor gun or saloon gun is a type of firearm designed for recreational indoor target shooting. These guns were developed in 1845, when French inventor Louis-Nicolas Flobert created the first rimfire metallic ...

Nothing happening here either, weather is dismal but Temps in the 50s my son and his wife are arriving back in England today but alas at the other end of the country.

I often change my signature line but this one seems relevant.

gamekeeper

I'd be interested in how performs

I have seen both good and bad reviews but if you don't know the reviewer then everything has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

gamekeeper

I've been onboard just couldn't compete with the potato, socks and radiator hose.......

Hey Jay, how about this for a way to get rid of dog turds.....

Good one Joe, I didn't know they had dash cam back then. The cops were a lot quicker pulling the bad guys out, nowadays the tactic seems to be sit back and wait.

gamekeeper

That's awesome Griff, I couldn't drive your truck round the block without incident, Congratulations

gamekeeper

It looks like this guy is still knocking them out, I think the trigger needs a bit of work, some of the antique Jazails I saw had old brown Bess locks sometimes secured to stock with nails but they were pretty beat up when they arrived at Westley Richards, Darryl I hope your brother checked the bore...

gamekeeper

Bill, I once owned a Snider converted to 12 gauge, the Jazails I handled were pretty crude and quite a few were still loaded

Westley Richards had a big antique department with most of the stock coming from India, it was a magical place to work when I was a young man.

gamekeeper

Exciting history Bill, I have handled dozens of those Jezails plus a lot of the Martini rifles but not many Sniders, it's interesting reading about how and where they were used.

gamekeeper

A very touching poem, thanks Bill for sharing.

When I worked night shifts I tried having a beer at the end of the shift like I did at the end of the day shift but it just wasn't the same. As for sleeping on the job we had a system that if the factory couldn't run we would be sent home on 80% if before 10pm but after 10pm we got 100% but then had...

Quote Yes sir! Things sure are looking up. Shaping up to be a good year. Gonna party like it's 1939. I'm sure gonna drop that one into a few conversations......true, funny but scary all at the time. I see on the general forum JimT is advertising Sixguns baby sitting service.... :?

.A good post, I grew up close to the River Rea which was only a stream where I lived, didn't have much in the way of wildlife but plenty of adventures and now fond memories.

In the UK and some European countries they are talking about conscription. We are being told that Russia seems to be the threat even though we are awash with rag heads etc. the illegal immigrants far out number the troops that Hitler assumed he needed to take our little island. Whatever, it's only a...

"I have too many ‘86’s around here…."

That's something you don't hear very often............

gamekeeper

Jay you have hit the nail on the head..as I have got older I care a lot less about things that would have wound me up years ago. Life goes on regardless of how much milk is spilt...

Yesterday and today the temperature has been in the 50s with showers and grey skies.

gamekeeper

Griff, that looks mighty cool.....

gamekeeper

I saw it and was disappointed with the aluminium receiver otherwise it looks like the 9422 so it should do everything on the box.

gamekeeper

When I worked for British Leyland duct tape was used for things you'd never believe, so much duct tape was wasted it's probably why British Leyland went bust. One guy brought blue movies and a projector to work and built a tiny cardboard cinema complete with chimney for cigarette smoke with several ...

gamekeeper

Somehow modern books seldom stir the soul like the ones of long ago.

I had a Stevens 311 it was clunky and heavy but it shot ok, I actually got it for nothing as it hadn't been proofed in the UK and the dealer was liable to a big fine for selling an unproofed gun, funny thing I have had three American guns two shotguns and one rifle that were not proofed, I wonder if...

gamekeeper

Jay my patience is mainly short when it comes to stock refinishing :oops: I often end up starting all. over again. 242 pages must mean we all get along okay. W W Greener made fine and serviceable shotguns I would take one over a Purdy anyday, not had much to do with Boss but I know they certainly ai...

gamekeeper

I am always happy to see a new Levergun on the market....

Love the fancy wood...

gamekeeper

242 WOW that's one heck of a lot of hot air :lol: I have always been a bit short of patience but although I was a heavy drinker and smoker I never felt a compulsive urge to partake of alcohol or nicotine... however being without a Scatter gun is unbearable................. I'll pass on the laying in...

gamekeeper

Always good to see you around the fire...

gamekeeper

Mine isn't too bad it sounds like Sky Larks singing used to get a stiff neck looking for them many years ago....

gamekeeper

Yes, I'm curious as to why a Yankee is carrying a Rebel Bowie knife......

but then lots of WW2 GIs had Luger's.....

Darryl all the best to you and your twin in the Biathlon...

gamekeeper

I know I couldn't out shoot you and I doubt I could out drink you but it sure would be great fun trying......... while it lasted of course

gamekeeper

Great that you are helping that young lad with his shooting

plus it gives you the perfect excuse to buy a new toy...

Great photos...

gamekeeper

Great photos of snow and revolvers, something that's missing here, I might get some snow but unless revolvers fall out of the sky I ain't likely get my hands on any..

Raining here again temperatures in the low 40s .

A real Winter Wonderland you've got up there Jay....

it must be five or six years since I had any Wild Turkey I will have to change that

gamekeeper

It is only unsafe in the eyes of the UK government.... as is everything that goes bang.

gamekeeper

Where I used to live the local churchyard had the grave of an officer of the Crimean War with the image of a Colt Navy on the headstone. I have never seen another headstone with a firearm depicted on it, I did have a photo but can't find it. I should add that he died of old age not because he favour...

I have a bad memory of a Manhattan revolver, Westley Richards had one for sale along with Colts and Remington cap n ball revolvers the boss had brought back from the States, this was before Manhattan revolvers were really collectable and was priced at only £60.00 and I had had my eye on it, while I ...

My local toy shop owner has authorisation to buy prohibited weapons mainly for deactivation, he asked me if he could try a few guns out at my place, I had a ball untill the landlord informed me the villagers were panicking thinking war had broken out...

The only sub machine gun I have fired was a SA61 Scorpion, it caused a minor S storm in the village,, folks wanted to know what was happening in the woods..

Really great photos and story Jay, I love that knife too.. :mrgreen: I often wish that I had a .22 pistol when I was gamekeeping it would have been useful but alas our stupid gun laws ment I could only legally use it for target shooting at a police approved club. I did later buy a .22 revolver but n...

gamekeeper

Howdy Ms Boots good to see you back...

gamekeeper

Congratulations Bill...

gamekeeper

Good one..

gamekeeper

OS, I would feel mighty well armed with that H&R over here in the old country, it would sure beat a sharp stick.

Still dry and temps in the 30s nothing doing here not even any wildlife to look at from the window.

gamekeeper

Some days plans just don't work out.... I hope someone gets some use out of all that Ash and Cherry wood.

gamekeeper

I have found Remington sub sonics to be inconsistent in the past, I would only buy them if nothing else was available.

gamekeeper

I only wish I could attend, already picked out my first buy...a good old Hammer shotgun made in my home town...

gamekeeper

Yes that plumb color doesn't bother me either I have had a couple of guns that had it.

gamekeeper

OS, I found this on the Ruger Forum. The phenomenon we note in blued Rugers known as "plum" coloration has been the subject of considerable discussion over the years. This is usually explained as being the result of certain elements in the investment-cast steel Ruger uses for certain parts...
