Well, it looks like I have to put of my dream of the 1899 on hold. Reality is a bummer as the hippies of old used to say. I am only 47G away from a paid off house and 3200 would go a long way towards that goal. Oh why did I have to look at my financials on January 1st?<br /><br />Perhaps I should se...

Here's to the new Year. May it be better than the old one.

I read about Glenn deRuiter's unfortunate event after I had bought two Winchester-Lees. Then there was the blow up November 2014 that destroyed another rifle but the gentleman lived. It appears both were using resized .30-40 brass and fast powder. I do not think there would be a problem if they, or ...

I think the guys on CMP would be you best bet. Just post a WTB and see what happens. Make sure to state no drill rifles.

Maybe we have been taking Ol' Ben's words in the wrong way for two hundred years when he said Early to bed, Early to rise. Maybe he was getting h...

I laugh when you laugh ;D and I cry when you cry :'( and I ponder the joys of the universe (gun universe, screw the rest of...

I've got it in my mind that I want to try and find and acquire a '99 Remington Lee. I know what your thinking. It's a fool's errand. Here be the fool.<br /><br />Would you guys be willing to help me in the search since I am here in Derkaland? I am looking of one in good shape and has all of its part...

Hmmmm. I think I need to read up on reduced loads for when the 1895 comes back from Turnbull's.

You should put that pound of powder to good use while you are on the mend.
