My (now deceased) father once offered me a revolver he had, back in the 1980's, a Colt Police Positive, 6" bbl, cal. 38 Special. Absolutely beautiful condition and action worked like a Swiss watch, smooth as silk trigger. He only wanted the $115 he paid for it. I turned it down because I didn't...
I don't think I ever posted this lil gem. This past Spring, the wife said she wanted some new trails cut on the deer hunting property. I said, in that case, we need a new tractor. To my surprise, she agreed.
Bought new in May of this year. John Deere 3025E, 25 hp diesel. When we went to look at...
Finally, the last item I wanted for my 16 gauge Model 12...
Took months of waiting to be able to purchase a case of any type of decent 16 gauge high-brass #6's
Ah yes, the artist formerly known as 'duck and pheasant' load. Why not a full case of 10 boxes? 5 boxes was all they had left, and 5 boxes is way better than none.
Rapidly building up my essential 20 gauge ammo library for my Benelli. All I 'need' now is some low or high brass #7-1/2's, and I...
I haven't seen anyone post Able Ammo (TX). Their website sez no but I've ordered from them a few times recently.
Downside- prices are a bit high, as well as shipping charges.
The thing is, down there, those bears have no real fear of humans. And it's not a question so much of whether if you'll run into one, but when, because they're so common.
What bothers me more than the bears, are the big fat 5, 6 foot long timber rattlers, so you always have to watch where...
Brenneke 20 ga. sporting a 1 oz. slug.
We just got back from our scouting trip in southeastern Kentucky. Visiting family was great. Black bears are very common in those Appalachian mountains, in fact they're a major nuisance as trash raiders.
With these slugs, I'd be 100% comfortable hunting...
As one would expect for this time of year, as we (sadly) creep up on Labor Day...
The hunting ammo is beginning to trickle in. This load is about as far as you can stretch a 20 gauge into what was known in days of yore as a 'Goose/Turkey/Fox' load.
Normally I like to order by the case, but...
Finally...after long last...much effort and perseverance...
20 gauge #6 lead shot for a general purpose rabbit/squirrel hunting load to use with my new Benelli. What a long strange trip it's been.
That would seem to be the case, as even in my personal life, all I ask for is honest and open communication, and maybe 1 person in 100 can actually provide that
I sincerely appreciate that, but at this point we are down to 1 vehicle cuz other is in the shop, naturally the wife needs the wheels to get to work. Therefore at this point I am unable to make a commitment to meet somewhere on the road.
All I want, is the TRUTH. So that I, as a free-thinking American, can form my own opinions, and cast my vote accordingly.
Not to mention, petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Free translation of above statement into modern American English- BITCH to .gov representatives when...
My Old Kentucky Home...
Stand Your Ground law
Castle Doctrine law
Constitutional Concealed Carry for ANYONE over the age of 21 who can legally possess a firearm, Open Carry for ANYONE over the age of 18 who meets the same criteria
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it FUAC
1 more year and you...
Oil filters arrived from Wally World today. I'm big on OE for some things.
2 for 2003 Burb, just back from shop for new fuel and brake lines, plus instrument cluster.
2 for 07 Burb and the Sierra
Ok. At this point I would strongly prefer 7-1/2s (grouse, woodcock) over 8's cuz I now have 8 boxes of 8's for busting clay birds, which is 8 Saturdays worth of informal trap getting tuned up before the season starts again.
I could also use some low or high brass all-purpose 6's, lead.
Steel...
I can spare up to 5 boxes each of the 7mm-08 (Hornady American Whitetail 139 gr SP), or 308 Win (HAW 165 gr BTSP), I can spare some Rem 30/06 CL 150 gr PSP.
Whatcha got?
For my new Benelli 'Monte' 20 gauge...
Comes with IC, Mod and Full. Naturally I had to round it out with the 2 other available choke tubes, Cylinder and Improved Mod.
PLUS- ppl are buying bulk now. Years past Labor Day and the sales I woulda strolled into one of the Marts and bought a box or 2 of 6's and 7-1/2's, and a couple boxes of slugs.
Now it's very rare that I buy less than a case of anything, unless it's a specialty item that I won't need to use...
One more thing from yesterday-
Pro-Shot 2-pc 36" shotgun cleaning rod. Micro polished stainless steel, solid brass handle and threaded joint. Includes solid brass slotted patch holder. It's all in the details. Notice the round looped end of the slotted tip (versus cut off), to help prevent...
Sort of. He's always hanging by a thread. He starts voting anti-gun, he'd very likely get the boot. Ain't no huge metro areas down there to wipe out the hillbilly voting bloc.
I seen ammo available, esp Rem, online. Outrageous. $50/box for Rem Core-Lokt 30/06 180 gr SP (round nose). Ppl ain't gonna pay that. A year ago it was $20 or so.
