Should make a nice brush gun!

I don't consider that to be an outrageous amount. After all they aren't being made any more and a used S&W .38 runs about the same. Remember just because a surplus gun was cheap when first imported...
I got the chance to buy a Brazilian Contract S&W 1917. It's from the 2nd batch supplied and has been refinished. It had a set of awful fake pearl ( i.e. plastic) grips so I replaced them with a set...

Go ahead and use the hot water soaked patches in your cylinder and barrel and to wipe down the frame. Then use some ballistol on the frame to prevent rust. As for the internals use some aerosol...

I love my BLR in .308. I've killed several deer, coyotes and foxes with it. It's my go to rifle when I absolutely have kill something.

If your moon clips are bending that easy then you have some cheaply made ones. Quality ones are tempered spring steel and even with some rough handling and twisting when loading and unloading rounds...
I just bought one of the Brazilian 1917s that has been refinished. The bore is excellent and it shoots to point of aim with Winchester white box fmj. It has some ugly fake pearl grips but I have a...

I had a 94 trapper in 30-30 years ago and it held it's own on the range against my brother in law's 20" carbine.

With the prez's AWB all but dead in the water doesn't this smell kinda fishy as to the timing? Maybe what's known as a "black flag" op?

I like the Gerber that Uncle Sam issued to me years ago. When I got out they forgot to ask for it back and I forgot to mention I still had it. :-)

Don't know about the Henry but my Rossi feeds SWC's with no problems. If you really want the Henry go for it and try out your favorite load, it just might work. If not substitute a round nose...

Cell phone, a good pair of comfortable work type cowboy boots, Western hat for protection from the elements, Silver Stag Elk skinner knife on my belt, Gerber multi-tool, S&W 649 .357 in a Safariland...

Tap on the very front of the rear sight, not the " buckhorn". That flat part is the part that's actually dovetailed into the barrel. The rest just rests on top under spring tension.

I love my Uberti Hi wall. Cal .45-70. Bought it from a pawn shop for $600 and it shows only slight signs of use. Still working up a good handload for it but it does well with the various factory...

Some of the newer ATVs are almost as big as my Jeep Wrangler. I just use my '92 Jeep. With the rear seat out I have plenty of room for a deer or other cargo plus I have a 2 wheel trailer I bought...
I love shooting the 38 S&W out of my Webley MK IV! I wish there were some modern made top breaks.
Nothing like being the first one to fire a NIB Colt! A couple of years ago I bought a NIB 3rd Generation gun with a 5 1/2" barrel in .44 special. It still had the factory zip tie locking the hammer...
Clover, alfalfa, some rye or other grass type grain. All will feed deer and turkeys.

Denny that is why people need to start practicing those skills now while things are still normal and where failure won't mean death. Fortunatetly I was raised by my grandparents on a small...
Me too! My 3rd generation Colt in .44 special. My Favorite handgun ever. :-)
