I think that you're absolutely right about the stink made by dead snakes. That has also been my experience. When I lived in the Sierra Nevada foothills in N. Calif. we had a hayfield, and when it ...

I wonder how he would have gotten back down. It's hard to envision him doing a 180 on the stick and passing by himself on the way down. Maybe just let go and drop?
The last few years I've been...

If Winchester says they did it, they probably did it. The .303 has been around for so long that it's been through black powder, cordite, ball powder, stick powder, and who knows what else. I got my...

You're a very fortunate guy to have that carbine. I've never seen one except in collector books. :-D

There was a replica/reprint of one of Bannerman's Island Arsenal Catalogues available for several years. I've got one (somewhere), but I don't know if they're still available. Fascinating reading,...

Ahhh...the sweet sixteen! I've got a couple, and somehow the 16 Ga. always seemed just right. I've got 12s, but love my 16s. I've got a very old Stevens sxs 16 that probably dates to the 1920s. I...

The 7.35mm is a true .30 cal. (.30" bore) so .302 should work fine. If you can find some 6.5 Carcano brass it is easily converted to 7.35mm simply by annealing it and running it into the 7.35mm...
