He didn't say NO...

Double clicked while I was dozing off.

Cool concept but the blacksmith looks out of shape. Lol

Careful what you ask for

That's not how it worked when I was in

2nds

Good deal on a great vise.

Very interesting. I was recently reading about how the first 1873s were shipped from Colt to the civilian market in Dec 1875

Was the Colt originally delivered to an army unit or a civilian?

I have 4 load e tires you can have

There had been a race for naturalists to name the various subspecies, totalling over 40 birds. Our friend Dr Coues was hot in the chase...

And this

This

Rough day. The man whom taught me to hunt, fish, never whine and by example; how to honor the women in my life, passed 5 years ago today. He was old school, tough, unapologetic and worked hard for the family. 92 years young, WWII vet and still sharp as a tack. I think he had a pretty good run

Dad loved dogs, the only time I ever saw him cry was when our family dog passed. He always spoke fondly of the begals he raised and bred, one in particular named Duchess. She had a knack of barking wherever she was when she heard her name called and racing back to him. Just hours before dad died, he sat up looking out the hospital window and said Duchess was out on the grounds chasing a rabbit. Mom looked out the glass and said she didn't see her. Dad said she's out of sight now but I hear her bawling, she's on the hunt. I can only infer that this was Duchess's turn to call dad home.

Amen

Your grandpa too, great family history, great Americans.

Looking for some percussion and conversion pistols. If you have one of those imitation Patterson, Walker or Dixon Colts, PM me. I'll look at percussion muskets too.

That kills the value. I have a 2nd generation Walker made long ago by Umberti. Like shooting a magnum with 50gr black powder.

Oh, if you're lucky enough to have your dad around, give em a call.

What will you be asking for that?

Correct on the Winchester build. I also grew up with this identical scatter gun. Man was dad peed when I as a know nothing 20 year old sold it. Glws

Seems I always hand my bows off to youngsters before they need new strings and cable. Mine are getting frazzled so looking for recommendations and cost estimate.
