Re: School Rifles with JFC Stock Cartouche
My "school gun" - which I believe to be authentic - has the same small [JFC} cartouche as is shown in the first photo in this thread. I have seen others with normal [JSA/date] stamps. As to overstamps, my 1892/96 rifle has [BA-WJ] over an illegible JSA cartouche.
Re: Ruger
Others might. I am fortunate to have a GOOD 'congress-critter', the Hon. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA1). My wife baby-sat for him when he was a kid - old family acquaintances. Comes from a family of rice farmers, honest, pro-gun, anti-Biden - what's not to like?

Re: Interesting Florida Gun Shop
Thanks a lot for sharing, Chuck. I'm sure we can all remember when shops like that were all over, and the darker and mustier the better! Times have surely changed. There was always an air of mystery about what might be in the corner, or in the back room . . .

Re: Amoskeag Auction
1545 is not an 1898 (s/n 279xxx) - can't see some of the higher lot numbers?
126471 could be real. (126323, 126370, 126417, 126775 supposedly are)

Re: Something You Can't Unsee
Thank you, Whig! I'm not saying you have to LIKE the guy, just that at this critical point in time, we NEED him. Someone has to shovel out the stable, and there is NO ONE else who stands even a whisker of a chance against the stacked deck which is being shored up even as we speak. It has been said t...

Re: Something You Can't Unsee
Waterman - WHO then do you propose as an ELECTABLE alternate to Biden (unless you are saying you're just going to vote blue, or not vote because you don't like Trump, and let the country go down the toilet like Germany)? While dire, I don't think things are quite as bad as you paint. Russia is not h...

Re: Something You Can't Unsee
The basket is OK, it's the fully-inflated rear tire (300psi?) that does it for me. :lol: :lol: As to the political comment - I don't $%$#^&* care it I offend anyone or not. Being offended is all the rage these days, anyhow, and I cannot sufficiently express my disgust for what has happenned to u...

Re: Something You Can't Unsee
There's aspects of that picture, which I guess (hope) is Photoshopped, that I don't want to even THINK about . . . There, now I've made YOU (don't deny it) think about them - if you hadn't already . . . I feel better already by sharing the burden. All that aside, it's a very accurate portrayal of wh...

Re: 50 round belt
The TD scabbards with leather loops were made to go ON the M1874 leather waist belt, or the concealed tongue of the 100 RIA experimental belts. The M1885 brass-hook scabbards could be used on ANY belt of the period. There were also some single wire hook scabbards made for testing on the canvas Ft. L...
