It could have been a 475 Wildey. It has been awhile since I seen the movie. And then there is Swarzenegger in that one cop show where he is playing a Russian cop sent to the US and he rattles of a Russian(?) handgun caliber, saying it is the most powerful handgun in the world. And just like...

Nice. But Charles Bronson's 458 Webley in one of the Death Wish sequels has my vote.

I like your idea better....beer opener. I was going to guess 1) "skull cracker"....when in close quarters fist fight or out of bullets. Or 2) for trick shooting....shooting with one's back to the target, using a mirror, over the shoulder shot, using the non shooting hand or thumb to help...

Congrats on another successful adventure.

That should have been: "or" not "for". My bad. Thanks for the correct spelling that I forgot to add.

I was going to say southern. Or New Englander, ie. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire. ____________________________________ Mazin Newgant for Mosin Naugant.

Well according to the math, I've been 32 twice and don't really remember either time.

Need to add a grate over that barrel for cooking up some hotdogs, hamburgers, pork ribs, and roasted corn on the cob.

Nice.

Here's my .31 caliber black powder muzzle loading pocket revolver.

Not funny. Showed a neighbor and hunting buddy this. According to the doctors at the hospital he's expected to be released next weekend and have a full recovery by Father's Day. His wife is giving him a 50/50 chance. Now that she has somewhat calmed down after two weeks since his "accidental...

Since the last update on his condition/recovering on May 4th. Is there any further updates as to how Michael is doing?

Can they be trained to eliminate neighbors, oops, I mean stray cats, nuisance barking in the middle of the night for no reason doys, and cops entering the house between midnight and 5am with Raid at least once a week,...and never seen an insect of any kind in the house? Asking for a friend who...

I may be past my prime, but I ain't dead....yet!.....so yes I find sex to be more fun than important. Just not as important as in my younger carefree years. Since females are the only ones I hunt. I prefer to hunt at night at local waterholes between 11pm and 2am. Although I have been lucky a...

For off the shelf availability (if that can be a factor nowadays), I would personally go with the 416 Rigby. Especially if I could use another cartridge with it, like using the 458WM in a 458 Lott, should I not be able to obtain 416 Rigby ammo while on a hunt. The 416 Rigby for nostalgia.

It's a marsh/swamp. What looks like a copperhead or rattlesnake in and around the wood debris in the front center of the photo.

I had this similar problem. 1) Checked: COAL, Die settings, Case lengths, Powder charge weights, etc.. Still had the problem. 2) Check and cleaned all of my dies and equipment, and complete reset up my dies and scale. Still had the problem. 3) Check and segregated 5 boxes of 100...

@mauser98, Can't see the head. What animal is that pictured in the second photo?

.22 Gallery Shorts were the only ammunition I ever used and seen used by shooting booth operators at carnivals, fairs, and amusement parks. Mainly due to the short distances (as in 15 to 25 feet) to the targets. With barely enough powder to knock over some of the targets. .22 Shorts due to...

Cal. Bullet weight .308 170 grain .430 300 grain .357 158 grain .458 450 and 500 grain .375 270 and 300 grain

There's a major difference between select cut and tree farm logging, where only certain trees are logged, with minimum or no removal of untargeted trees and clear cut logging that totally removes all trees with no tree replanting, no debris removal, no erosion prevention (where applicable). I'm...

@thriller, The correlation is simple economics. Loggers supply the lumber mills want/ require more money for the timber they harvest. Lumber mills supply the building industry, furniture manufacturers, etc.with lumber want/ require more money for the lumber they produce. Building supply...

Doxycycline is used for both as a preventative and a cure with least possibility of side effects unlike Malarone or Lariam. As for ".....tends to ruin the microbiome inside your guts..." all antibacterial...to including carbonated beverages ie. Coke, Pepsi; etc, alcoholic beverages, antacids...

Doxycycline or Doxycyclone? Two different meds for two different purposes. 'cycling is an antibiotic for various infections and as a prevention. Malaria and tick bite fever preventative and treatment. 'cyclone is a "pain reliever" /anti inflammatory with added benefits. For aches, strains...

Mosquitoes travel just because one is not traveling/hunting in a "red zone" today, doesn't mean they won't be in there'd zone" tomorrow. June is the start of "winter months" in RSA. Mosquitoes may not be as active, but they are still active. And so are people. Plus one on using doxycycline.

There goes the hardwood forest, wildlife, wildlife habitat, and good hunting areas. Soon to be cluttered by major undergrowth and pine trees. And higher prices for the already higher cost of lumber.

60's-70's bands; in Colorado :cool: or orchestra, in Albany, NY :sleep:?

For what you have mentioned you want vegetable, or brain tan. Vegetable and brain tan won't be caustic to metal; ie. knife sheaths, holsters, belts, upholstery, boots/shoes, pouches, etc. Chrome, salt, other types of chemical tans; the chemical will leach out of the leather when the leather...

I've seen a lot of original bouble barrel shotguns. Just none with that double, double hammer. On my wish list is a flintlock double barrel.

Contact the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association in Friendship, Indiana. The Spring National Championship Shoot is coming up soon and there are usualky several knowledgeable and excellent gunsmiths that attend the spring matches that can help. BTW, several of the gunsmiths and a few...

This is a first, as a muzzleloading fanatic I have never seen or heard of a duel ignition system on a muzzleloader. Cool. Thanks for posting this firearm.

None. The night after this photo was taken Pierre past away peaceably (choking, gaging, for a sudden case of food poisoning) in his sleep with his recent widow by his side; (she was actually in her room, 2 rooms down from his, hastily packing her bags and making an urgent appointment with...

Oops, my bad. See below

Typically, a Shield, is the decorative wooden board that a shoulder mount or Euro mount is atthed to. Separate from the wood backing the shoulder mount form is attached to. Felted rug, refers to either the decorative felt edging around the rug, or the fully felt backing of a rug mount.

In the woods it's a 50/50 chance I don't shoot it. Around the house and other buildings it's a 100% chance it's going to get shot sooner or later. Damn critters seem to know when they are safe and when I have a firearm handy.

Looks like a groundhog. Belly up.

Remington Model 12( )? When I get a chance I'll get a pic of my Remington Model 12C and post it. In the meantime here is a pic of my Winchester Model 1892 in 32-20 cal. Manufactured in 1894 (?).

Glad to hear Michael survived. Best wishes for his quick and complete recovery. Congrats to the trackers for their response to rescuing Michael.

A 10 bore, .79 caliber, BP Exit hole at ~25 yards The slip on pad is for an added 3/4" LOP. I made a very bad error in judgement. Not understanding Europeans mark their firearms on the underside of the barrel. I didn't understand the 109 number stamp. I do now; Won't do it again. It stands for...

When I bought my Pedersoli, I considered them, stereotyped them, as cheap knock offs. And made what we thought was a fair trade for both of us. Two months later my Pedersoli tripled in value. During those same 2 months I passed on 2 double rifles 1 BP and 1 cartridge. Both of those rifles have...

Everytime I have to drive, or even think of having to go to Nashville to the V.A.. For those familiar with Nashville, driving in via I-40 West bound from Knoxville. The I-24/I-65 North and wherever the left in bound ramp is coming from, the area is notorious for assine drivers. I have my head on...

I have to disagree with you on Pedersoli as to their quality. Like anything else it depends on what kind of money one is willing to spend on any firearm. As for a manufactured out of the box firearm I would equate Pedersoli to Winchester for quality. As for service that's a different can of...

PM sent.

One, of many, reasons I personally prefer "older" firearms, or rather older style of American manufactured firearms. Seems like the stereotype American is: short, fat, with Tryanasaurus Rex arms. And (firearm enthusiasts) only want so called "Black Guns" with synthetic stocks, large capacity...

A "Daisy Chain" is an understatement! When you consider all of the morons that voted for, conspired with, and in whole currently in charge of ruinning (running) this country (USA) and for that matter the world at large. Whom ever said, "crime doesn't pay" was some sort of moron, because they...

Currently my only full body mounts are a yellowtail mongoose and a baboon. Hopefully after my 2025 trip I'll have a 2nd baboon, bushpig, a couple of smaller cats, porcupine, black back jackal, honey badger, and maybe a nice warthog and a monkey. I'm planning on, but already dreading the...

They unfortunately bond with each other.

Just saying......that little lever is for adjusting my steering column up and down. The longer lever above it does all kinds of crazy stuff: windshield wipers, bright and dim lights and causes a short in my electrical system cause when I push it down a green blinking light and a ticking sound...

Once upon a time......but not anymore....damn old age lack of mobility to kneel or go prone.....without support....to steady and shoot a firearm.

Will do. I finally think I found the right land in Kentucky to buy. So hopefully after or while the house is being built I can get a 400 yard range built out the back door, about 100 feet or so from the back sliding door. Or at least on the other side of the driveway.
