This was good. Just for discussion, the questions here are; Where was the skull found? What are the Federal Laws regarding Big Horn Sheep? What are the AZ State Statutes regarding Big Horn Sheep? Are Big Horn Sheep still considered threatened or endangered? What was the species of Big Horn? Some Big Horns I believe are currently endangered or threatened.

He found the skull. Since the big horn sheep was not taken (killed) by a known hunter, how does this apply? The Big Horn skull is a "dead head". You are definitely a peculiar being. Oh, and you omitted that AZ State Statutes apply as well as Federal Laws, not just AGFD rules.

So much confusion. I'll add this I found just for discussion From The Green Wolf (Thegreenwolf.com)

From what I read on the internet this is very likely correct. There was also the mention that sales of body parts (furs, bones, skulls) may require a AZGFD license. So many rules these days. Maybe AZGFD knows, if they don't give you the wrong info and cite you later?

Found this, I think it's the same for AZ. When hunters bring a legal sheep to ADFG offices, horns are sealed by inserting an aluminum plug into the horn. This method of permanently marking sheep horns has already been adopted by all other agencies managing wild sheep in North America.

Or the Remington Rolling block. The rolling block lasted longer than the Springfield in different calibers. Instead of rolling back, it rolled side ways. But the hammer and firing pin were very similar to the Springfield trap doors. Was a time of innovation and fighting around the world. PM me and I'll take it to you to see.

The firing pin runs through the rotating cylinder. Pretty cool to look at the engineering. Austria-Hungarian 1867 - 1888. Roughly 680,000 made but you don't run across them frequently.

I cheated a screen shot the specs.

Ok, if you look close the name is on the receiver. Cactusjack's Uncle had one of these stolen from his shop last year so keep your eyes open. Not real common. 1867 Werndl

I'm not very versed in shotguns. Is it an Ithaca? Very, very nice.

Better pics for the second, harder rifle.

Tried camera flash this time. 1873 Remington Rolling Block.

Tough light, but Not a Springfield. Remington. Remington Rolling Block was not Springfield. Springfield had the trap door. But you were spot on for the year. Pretty impressive.

Sorry for the light. Wife is sleeping on other half of the bed.

Ok, now for a harder one.

1873 Remington Rolling block in 43 Spanish (I think, need to cast the chamber)

They were also made in foreign countries and for foreign countries. This one is made in a foreign caliber. The year is correct.

That's what the pawn shop called it. Wrong manufacturer.

Close

If I may submit this rifle that I purchased from a Tucson pawn shop in 2015 for $132.00 not knowing what it was. One of the earliest years it was made.

Is that 22 short or 22 LR and is it the takedown?

Very thoughtful. Nice.

20ths! If they are still availible.

I checked the current value on Ammoseek and......, I approve! Just kidding. We could all use a good laugh. Thanks for the fun Cactusjack. Nice collection.

No Sir! I'm sure she is right. One can only shoot so many 30-06's at one time and we only have four kids. So really anything more than six is probably too many and I exceed that easily. Plus, 270 Winchester rifles are pretty similar, for all intents and purposes, and I have more than sufficient of those as well. I suggested I might should sell a few and she thought I was correct, but left it to me ultimately. So while she thinks I may have too many, she never complains and leaves it up to me to decide. 35 years of marriage, she very seldom complains, only said no to me getting a pilot's license when I was much younger and pushed too many things to the limit, very few disagreements, always worked as hard or harder than I do, defends me without hesitation, has very few faults, put in place a very successful plan on how to raise our kids, highly educated (Chemical Engineer with a PE, Certified Quality Engineer, Environmental Engineer), and so much more. I am very fortunate. She truly is one of the smartest people I have ever met, and the most forgiving. She only ever made one great mistake in her life so far, and that was marrying me, and she still doesn't recognize her error to this day! You would be lucky to have half of the woman she is. NO Sir! No new wife!
