Perhaps I miss the point of your post, or perhaps you live in the wrong damn country.

Yep. A bunch of old Marlin levers, and even a Bullard rifle. The first one I can remember ever seeing in person. Must have been a pawn shop or antique store that went out of business. They had a lot of antique metal signs, pottery, etc. as well. The metal signs brought ridiculous money, as did the silver dollars.

I did once before. You'll know the pretty old brick house across the road from the nuclear plant on hwy 25. They auctioned it several years back. Among the contents, they simply listed rifle. I left there with a like new pre 64 Model 70 Winchester, target barrel, in 220 Swift, complete with original sling and 12x Weaver scope for a song. It doesn't happen often, however.

I've never seen anything like this before. There wasn't many people at this local auction, and prices for guns and knives were at near giveaway levels, so, being a good TGO member, I tried to do my part. I scored an 1894 Marlin in 38-40, a Colt DA 38, A Colt Bisley in 45 Colt, a Remington New Navy Cartridge Conversion with perfect ivory grips, a Cattaraugus pocket knife, and a Winchester pocket knife. Not pictured is a 1917 Commercial Smith and Wesson my father confiscated from me. I guess a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while.

I think it saw storage instead of battle.

Well then, you're a great photographer, because in the photos, it looks unusually good for a military battle rifle.

I always thought those were really cool, but never owned one. Yours looks to be in extremely good condition. Don't let it get away!

Heck! We go to Hoover every summer. I never noticed it.

Cool! Maybe it'll catch on down here.

I only caught two stripe, and had something bite the tail off a plastic worm. I guess I'm gonna need to learn how to fish again. Dang, it's hot!!!

Somehow, this seems fitting.

Anybody been lately? I'm thinking about giving it a shot in the morning. Bass biting?

Tyler T. One of the best products I can think of, produced by one of the most mismanaged companies ever.

He's not famous or anything. Just a local fella. I would be surprised if anyone who doesn't live here would know who he is

C.L. Gammon. He writes historical stuff. "Macon County Race War" and "Hanging the Macon County Witch" we're the two I had an interest in.

I've never been to one before, but just went to a well publicized book signing for a local author. He has written at least two I'd like to purchase. We got there, and the dude had no books to sale. Is this normal, or is he the worst self promoter ever?

My kid has some sort of tactical 3-9 scope on his, and 45 degree offset iron sights. Works great.

Last winter, I replaced the transfer case and front differential in my 02 Silverado, which would be the same as yours. Replacing the transfer case wasn't a tough job at all. I bought a rebuilt one on ebay. I think it was about $750 if I remember correctly. The only extra thing you'll need is the gasket that goes between the transmission and transfer case, and someone to operate the floor jack for you when you pull the old one and put in the new one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-GMC-NP246-Rebuilt-Transfer-Case-2002-Down-/301540393661?hash=item46353542bd:g:qHkAAMXQCndRgcc8 Cheaper than mine was, but same seller. *edit to add* Of course you'll need some of the elusive blue juice....aka.....auto track II fluid.

Do you prefer a ton truck or a Corvette?

Check it in online and don't attach detailed photos. If you don't see antlers, there ain't none.

I make conceal carry products, and can succsessfully conceal a 6" N frame Smith and Wesson, but prefer to carry a Ruger LCP in a pocket holster for comfort and convenience.

The best way I can describe it is the 44 mag is a long, slow shove, while the 357 is like hitting the web of your hand smartly with a framing hammer.

Anybody go to the one this weekend? What did you think? I found it hot, dimly lit, crowded with a lot of stuff, but not that much that was interesting. I did meet and talk with a few nice folks, and picked up a model 14 Smith, but a guy beat me to the model 19 snubbie the same seller was carrying.

What ever happened to an old fashioned face to face conversation?
