Read this on another site and almost hits my life on the head...........LMAO I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of my way much faster now. Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.. You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body. I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row. I decided to stop calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Gym" . I feel so much better saying I went to the Gym this morning. Old age is coming at a really good time. When I was a child I thought "Nap Time" was a punishment. Now, as an old fart, it feels like a small vacation. The biggest lie I tell myself is..."I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it." I don't have gray hair; I have "wisdom highlights." I'm just claiming to be very wise. Teach your daughters how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper and not worth a thing. If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees and not put that big round pot belly in the way. When I came here I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet. Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway? Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice. At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for. Actually I'm not complaining cuz I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant. I don't have acne. And I don't stay mad at anyone for long because I forget why I am mad at them. Life is great. I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names.

Well I just recently purchased a '92 Winchester in 25-20, made 1913 with 24" tapered octagon barrel. Haven't shot it yet, but did receive a set of RCBS Cowboy dies, I've scrounged up a little brass, WOW, & some cast boolits to try soon. I do believe this will be a fun gun.

My opinion is that the less this trashy congress fools with this, the better... leroy...

Well, here is where I say something to which some - maybe even a lot - may object. I believe that Constitutional protections should apply only to those who are legally in the country. Illegal invaders should have no, such protections or rights. Basic, human rights - sure but not the same rights under the Constitution as citizens or legal immigrants. Illegal aliens should be considered to be outside the standard justice system which should be reserved for people who are here legally. They should be considered to be exactly what they are - foreign invaders who have illegally breached our borders. As such, they should have no standing for them or their representatives, supporters, etc. to even attempt to bring a case to the courts, period, let alone the Supreme Court.

BAD IDEA...............Period !!!!!!.............................

One more and I 'll leave it for someone else. Marlin 1892 32 colt made 1899. This one has been reblued, and some kind clear finish that needs some attention. RP Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Here's my 1892 Winnie, 25-20 made 1913. RP Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Working on fixing up my JM Marlin 336 and would like to see some pics of others classics. I got this one from my grandpa which he got second hand. It will be staying in the family from here on out. No plans to refinish. Just added a sling kit and have a skinner dovetail aperture sight ordered. I was looking at the receiver version of their sight but liked the aesthetics of the dovetail better. Custom leather sling by Rick Garcia. It is a 1976 mode that has seen its fair share of use and taken plenty of deer. Still smooth as silk though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Protech Brend 2 or the Runt are both pretty easy to carry in slacks or suit pants. Personally, I like the Brend. Congrats on the new job.

Your not going to get an argument out of me on this at all. As soon as they come across the border without a Green card or work Visa they are automatically a criminal that has broken a law in this country and should have no Constitional protection what so ever. That is exactly why the first thing they do is run yowards any sanctuary city or state they can get to because they know they will be protected. I really wish that all of the illegal Imigrants in this country would flow like an Exodus of Biblical Proportion to California including all of the gang members of MS13 and then the Federal Government needs to cut all Federal Funding to California. Put every extra federal agent they have on the state line between California and any state that borders California and arrest every illegal Imigrant that tries to leave when the food runs out. Lets see how bad California really wants to be a Sanctuary State? It will also set an example to any of these other so called Sanctuary Wannabe's both cities and states. If all the states would cut all Freebees to them and stop feeding them and stop all the healthcare they might get an incentive to go back home. Maybe if they don't object to your post they probably will mine JAB. I don't believe in any type of program that gives them an incentive to remain here and that includes DACA!! My Children and my Grandchildren come first!!!!!

I have one of those that was gifted to me and I like it a lot. Congrats on the new job by the way.

I agree. I've met some really dumb turkeys but none that far gone. I'd say that farmer is feeding them on the regular

Why get a .380 when it's the same size as the 9mm?

Congrats on the new gig! I've got one of the TGO Runts and it's small, but super nice. A friend has a ZT 450 with titanium frame or scales (both?) that's very light. Instead if clipping it to your pants, perhaps an inside coat pocket would work better. You could use a pocket protector without it being visible.

Well, after convincing my self I probably would never own one of these due to gun show sticker shock, a funny thing happened at the GB C&R listings. I bid the opening bid price and not a dollar more. Were all the Marlin fans out there asleep at their key boards? Apparently because I ended up with this fine example of what Marlin was making back in 1905. Sure, it doesn't have the much desired full crescent butt plate, the barrel joint was described as a bit loose and the poor thing has a bulge in the bore up front as so many do..... but still, the rest of the gun is totally unmolested in original fit and finish with a triple A fancy feathered crotch wood butt. At $575 + $46 to ship with insurance added, this nearly passes for a Religious experience! One major plus is the wood to metal fit. You guys have no idea how much it grinds my guts to see a stock that was sanded below the metal edge lines. Especially on a fine old early cartridge gun. The model 36 (pictured) I have came to me that way . After a thorough examination of the loose barrel shank, I have a plan to repair that and I have a older shutzen gun works .308 stainless barrel that will get turned into a liner and soldered into the 26 inch long octagon. Both of the square bolts are 30-30's & ya gotta love the 9 round capacity of the 1893. Yup, put another neat project on the back burner....

I once did a complete restoration on a 1892 all so in 25-20 that my Brother in law has. THAT Winchester is the height of lever smoothness in design. Nothing else comes close to that feeling of racking a round in a 92. I have a Savage 23B in that cal with a mint bore. That's another project on the back burner. The 25-20 would be a better round with spitzer type bullets for the bolt guns so one of these days I'll remanufacture the mag well to accept Win 351 SL mags. That 351 aftermarket mag loads longer spitzer bullet 25-20's like it was made for them. With the Savage's factory deep throated chamber, nothing else has to be done other than just the mag well mod. I want to gear that for a coyote gun.

I can't say enough good things about the Spyderco Dragonfly either. It's got a clip. The one linked is VG-10 steel. It's capable of big knife jobs. https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-Dragonfly--6705 It's small enough that I can clip it in the watch pocket on a pair of 501s. They've got FRN versions that are even lighter. I've got all of the above knives if you want to try any of them out.

Congrats on the new gig! Clips are hard on suit pants. Get just a little bit of bite on something edgy like G10 and it'll eat a hole in weeks. I dig this little Benchmade Proper: https://www.bladehq.com/item--Benchmade-Proper-Slip-Joint-Knife--69123 I've been carrying the heck out of a Smith and Sons Mudbug is natural canvas micarta lately. It's a lockback commission of Great Eastern Cutlery's Sodbuster. Both are a far cry rom the TR4, but they both pull their weight.

You probably want a more expensive knife, but I carry a SOG Access Card 2.0 as a money clip. It weighs only 1.8 ounces. Using it as a money clip makes it very hard for me to lose. I've owned it for four years, whereas I've misplaced most pocket knives.

So I didn't realize how truly small the runt actually was. The pictures are deceiving. I sketched out the dimension on paper a got a picture of its actual size. This may be the route to go. I actually like the Runt Tuxedo w Ivory 1.95oz is really light.

Here is my recommendation Brother... I'd almost bet willis can beat this price... I've got one of these little beasties... It's great... http://kershawguy.com/products-page/pt-automatics/pro-tech-2307-pt-auto-black-handle-with-super-grip-knurl-black-blade-plain-edge/ Good luck in the new job... Go forth and do good... leroy

Congrats on the new job. I am sure @willis68 can make a few suggestions.

That’s sweet!

Critters beware!

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks to be in great shape for such an old gun. Should prove to be a fine little varmint/small game gun.

I went to the range yesterday morning for the first time since my surgery. It has been over seven weeks since I fired a shot. I took this old Super Blackhawk: I've been shooting close up, duelist style; that is standing, one handed, as ranges not over ten yards, and using a six inch stick-on Shoot -N-See target. I had figured a pretty bad outing, for lack of practice for so long. Much to my surprise, I didn't do too badly. Shooting at eight yards, twenty-five rounds went through the black, and left a large jagged hole. Why did I do so well? Well, I did spend considerable time dry firing. This helped keep my muscle tone and my concentration up to par, and I'm sure that dry firing practice did keep me in shape. Bob Wright

We usually have Turkey & dressing and Country Ham but also my sisters husband does a crock pot of backstraps with carrots, taters and onions . I eat a plate of each before I go to my baby sisters to eat . Hopefully I will get a couple so I can give him one otherwise I get no deer at Christmas. Besides , my dad died in august and I have three of his rifles that I really want to get a deer with this year . He wasn't able to hunt last year and his High Wall 38-55 has yet to get blooded . I'll be off again Thursday and Friday and its supposed to be colder so maybe my prospects will improve . Eddie

Thanks. I just posted that to Hams Helping Hams and 470 ARG on FB.

I just saw this question. In the current version of Windows 10... Get to the desktop. Right click on the desktop. Scroll down to display settings. Left click on display settings. Click on resolution Select the one with (recommended) after it. If none say (recommended), select the highest setting. On my laptop, it's 1366x768. Click "Keep changes" If you don't know how to get to the desktop, you can get to display settings from the default "Modern Design UI" that shows when you boot up Windows 10. Post back here and I'll ferret out the clicks to get there. Of course, it could just be that a new update of Windows 10 doesn't work with your graphics card.

I see more lawsuits coming out of this, there is no way you can tell me marijuana use isn't comparable to alcohol use, or even prescribed opiate use. Next you'll be required to turn in all your weapons before getting an operation due to the morphine.

The Hypocrisy is strong with this one...It's ok to go against federal law by allowing "medical marijuana" use, but lets use federal law to grab guns if you use marijuana, that we the state have allowed you use, contrary to federal law..

Luv them Savages Brother...! The pinnacle of the lever gun..! Nothin greater... Admirin leroy...

This was handed down from my favorite uncle. 1892 in .25-20. He purchased it new on a trip in Colorado. I believe he said he paid $25 for it at an auction; a hardware store was closing down. I thnk he was 13 years old. He named it Schatze, a german word for sweetheart. Matter of fact all three of these guns were his.

Here's a few.

I know some would call it heresy, but I much prefer Marlin lever-action rifles to the John Browning-designed Winchesters.

Most folks call it a "ring". When some debris like a chunk of dirt, stick or anything that can fall into the barrel afield obstructs the bullet's path out of the barrel. At first the bullet tries to ride over the dedris and once the crap wedges between the bullet and bore, it stalls the bullet's speed just enough that the pressure tries to get past the bullet, creating a bulge ring. Some times you can see the bulge ring more pronounced on one side of the barrel. I'v had to shorten the barrels just rear of the bulge ring on a few 30-30's a 30-06 and a 7mm mag. Also I'v see a few on 22 LR guns also. Oddly, my friend has an old Winchester 22 with a bulge ring about 4 or 5 inches from the muzzle that still shoots relatively well. On another note.... When I used to do customer returns at Auto Ordnance West Hurley, we had a Thompson 1927 come in with a complaint that the rounds keep exploding over the magazine when fired. In that case, the owner unknowingly fired a squib load that lodged about 2/3rds of the way down the bore. THAT I can understand..... but I had a WTF moment after band sawing the barrel length wise, there were 12 bullets stacked up one behind the other. No wonder why I couldn't knock them out! That one simply got a new barrel and went back to the owner. Another one had only 2 or 3 rounds stuck in the barrel and that one cracked the barrel at the traffic jam over the last bullet.

I think some of the magic a Marlin holds over a Winchester for me is the ease in taking the actions apart & reassembly. The Marlins practically fall apart in your hands while blind folded. The Winchester 94's practically need spot light lighting, pinch, pull, push technique all the while "come along little doggy" is playin in the back ground. Iv, been inside more than a few 94's but the Marlins are whats in my safe. All tho when it comes to the Win 1892, a smoother lever gun has yet to be conceived by the human mind... hands down!

Although they don't share the popularity of the old Winchesters, I've discovered that the old Marlins exhibited as good if not better quality.

I’m not the subdivision type. First off, I like to be away from people. Secondly, I don’t want a bunch of a-holes from the HOA telling me what I can & can’t do on my own property. Not for me.

There's some really nice areas north of Jackson, but south of Jackson is getting too close to Memphis for my taste. Have you ever lived in a rural area? The good thing is that is far away from everything. The bad thing is that it is far away from anything. For the most part, any place in Tennessee, away from the larger cities is a good place to live. Oh yeah...welcome back!

Winchester 1866 second model (1869).

Boy that really has that vintage used look to it. I like it! Nice.
