I'm thinking a Woodsman's Pal: I've got two, one old military issue and the other a couple of years old. I still need to modify the newer one closer to the configuration of the other, so at the moment, the old one'd get the nod. It's essentially a machete with a few mods to the blade to make it more...

MVC-034F.JPG I got the Daisy Spittin' Image Model 1894 BB gun at the top of the picture for a combined birthday/Christmas present back when I hit 7. I was small for my age and had to figure how to brace the butt of the rifle so I could get both hands on the lever to work it. Some months after getti...

To modify an earlier post's opinion to fit my own views: 1. Marlin 39 and Winchester 9422 2. The rest :P (only teasing a little ) I've HAD a Uberti '66, Mossberg Palomino, Winchester 250, Ithaca 49R (I was starting to think I was the only person that knew what these were until seeing the posts earli...

There's one here. I'm not terribly impressed with its accuracy, although it's plenty good enough for the .22 dueling tree at ~10 yards. Function has generally been great and it's only ever acted up a little late on days when a few hundred rounds went through it without cleaning. Sweet Tooth won't gi...

Just saw a Remington Model 8 at Cabela's in St Louis in .30-30. Had to look twice because I thought I was seeing it wrong. But the markings were clear. Very early in production, the Model 8 was referred to as the .30-30 Remington.... The '30-30' was soon dropped as being too confusing as to correct...

If I were to own one .30-06, I'd be unhappy about the half dozen or so that I had to get rid of to get down to that point. :cry: Some of the others that'd have to go have already been mentioned in this thread, but this is the one I'd choose to keep under the OP's standards: resized.JPG Mannlicher Sc...

...weird gas operated semiauto with a gas cutoff valve to switch over to pump action if the user prefered. I'd never heard of that until I saw a Tristar shotgun with that feature.

Well, most leverguns are magazine fed. Just that tube magazines seem to've caught on the best. :lol: But seriously, there've been and still are box magazine fed ones on the market.

Regarding the RCBS 300gr mould: my Browning '86 likes bullets from it very much.

I've got a number of 'em that I think would fit the bill.

You guys are sneaky. You show these incredibly interesting guns and casually note some of us are not members of the club yet! That is a nice rifle and the 32-20 is a special cartridge IMO. A ton of fun without a bunch of hassle like painful noise and recoil. I really like that tang sight. The sight...

Well, finally lured Cowboy Tutt back here and away from those darn motorsickles for a little bit - RECOIL???? Nah! Here he is shooting his 460 Snubbie.

I've spent a little bit of time thinking about this today. Like I said before, I consider my two S&W PC X-frames to be more like short carbines than sidearms. Clumsy and awkward short carbines. Neither fish nor fowl. MVC-010F.JPG However, I think they're at least as manageable as either of my Co...

Gotta head in to work in a few minutes, so I don't have time to post at length at the moment... I've got PC X-frames in both .460 and .500; nearly twins.

Hey, cut this guy some slack. He has a Marlin 36 in 32 Special. He meant to type "36" and the fingers did "30-30". My fingers do that sort of thing all the time. I try to catch those little flubs, but sometimes they just slip on by. :lol: Just a few years ago I wouldn't've under...
