Special attention to the front of the stock and the hand guard with the rear sight will get you a lo...

Re: "Chicken" or Wise?

Just to be clear I would not ask my friends to cover me and have to kill someone. Good to know I have some friends that would offer though.

Re: "Chicken" or Wise?

Unknown buyer took them with the truck. I was supposed to keep them when I made the sale. They were already weather worn and needing replacement, so I thought nothing of leaving them on the truck. Used license plates do make pretty good dust pans. I have a couple of them around here already tasked w...

Re: Gun show 1898 Krag.

The parts were built to be interchangeable. So barrels, bolts, and other parts that would need to stay together on other weapons could have bee freely interchanged on US Krags. Arsenal rebuilds were done on many Krags and parts were just pulled out of bins to do the assembly. The marks that you see ...

Re: Carry Options

When stepping out of the house I do open the door slowly and look out before committing to stepping out. Shot guns and even 45 pistols with snake shot will make you even deafer when fired at the ground close by. A widow called me after the fire department and sheriffs office declined to help her wit...

Re: Carry Options

I kidded the fellow at church that put up the sign about concealed firearms. I felt the need to have a weapon when I got home from a meeting late at night and found a snattlerake near where I stepped out of my truck. Carrying a shovel with a sharp edge in the truck is OK. I have killed way more snak...
