    Plains Game with iron sights?

    The first photo is from a hunt with @HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS back in something like 2005ish. Not a double, but an iron sight Marlin 45-70. Can't recall if I shot off sticks or not, nor the range. The second photo is also with @HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS last year. My iron sight 1910 W.J. Jeffery...

    DSC Chapter Slidell Louisiana area

    No. Had near zero interest. It is my understanding that the chapter is located in Lafayette. My guess is DSC got the name and location wrong based on the one I tried to establish. That's my guess anyway.

    Ammo container for inside checked bag or standalone

    Next week I fly to Joberg, spend the night and then on to Harare. I'm taking my W.J. Jeffery .475 No. 2 Jeffery double and my Holland & Holland 375 H&H. So I needed a light weight ammo crate so I could carry solids and softs for both. I decided on a MTM ACR4-18 Ammo Crate Utility Box that I...

    Show off your 100-year-old guns

    I think you’re missing the uniqueness of this gun. Yes it has two locks, but each lock has two separate ignition systems, flintlock and percussion. Take your pick.

    Show off your 100-year-old guns

    @Ridge Runner I was at Friendship at the event you mention back in the 70’s one or two years. That’s where I met a couple of AMM brothers and they invited me to join.

    1914 H&H Sling Swivel problem

    Hoping someone can help me out. I've got a 1914 Holland & Holland 375 H&H. It came with two sling attach points (back bottom of stock and barrel band) but no sling.
