    Shiloh Sharps 45-90

    There is one right here who'd love a Sharps. But he just traded for a Remington rolling-block in .450 BPE...

    For Sale Rifles & Militaria

    Good evening folks. The Pedersoli has been accepted in trade (I'll be posting THAT in a different section once it shows up) and is no longer available. Everything else is still up for grabs. ~~W.G.455

    Northern Lights in South Georgia. Get outside now!!

    Not remotely. They're usually only visible much closer to the poles, but there's an extra-strong solar storm going on over the weekend flinging so much extra particles out that they're interacting with Earth at a wider swath of latitudes.

    Favourite quotes - Here's mine, Quite a long list. What's yours?

    "To defeat an enemy, you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history. Philosophy. Art." "A king may move a man. A father may claim a son. But remember that even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before...

    Hello from Georgia

    Years and years ago, I was walking along the water's edge at Ft King George. Bout 10 feet of dead gator came a-floating down the creek. I don't think I wanna go too far up in there in our dinghy!

    Hello from Georgia

    My family has a house down there about 20min up the road from Darien. I've seen the gators that lurk around Mudcat Charlie's and upriver a bit.

    Chambering ID needed

    It should be standard 7.92/8x57mm Mauser rimless, presumably the later bullet diameter. Marking the calibre as 8x57MR seems to be a Belgian thing, since it appears on rifles made or modified by FN et al, and that's a Liege and Belgian Nitro Proof on your barrel.

    In memoriam - Of A Fellow Forum Member @Major Khan Whom I Both Greatly Admired & Loathed

    Major Khan was always quite polite to a new guy from GA in the time I've spent on here. I knew he wasn't a young man anymore and when he disappeared, I suspected we would not see him return again. I'm still dismayed to be correct.

    45-70 for dangerous game?

    I'm asking purely about Zimbabwe because it's where I've figured I'll go if I ever do. Do they not have a minimum energy requirement also? I haven't been able to find the documents again but I recall seeing that there was a minimum energy listed when I looked at the rules a while ago. Which made...

    Dan wesson 1911 engraved bbq gun

    The sorta shiny gun you take to the BBQs to show off to your friends. Typically rarely fired, BBQ guns generally hibernate inside a safe until BBQ season, upon which they emerge in gussied-up holsters and belts to be displayed while consuming mass amounts of Southern-style pig and cow. They're...

    Laymen: what have they asked you?

    "How far do they shoot?" should be answered only with "A ways off."
