To change the subject a bit; where can a person find a deal on a Mosin. I'd like to have a carbine.

The only gun I ever bought at Dick's was a Chipmunk 22 for my youngest son. It was on sale for $70. If you can beat that, I'll buy some more.

I was at Gander Mountain in Bowling Green last weekend. They had an older Marlin lever 22 with a busted stock, almost no finish remaining, and designs made in the stock with nails driven into it. I believe the tag on it was $1299. What in the world is going on lately?

I made this black one for a fellow forum member. It has a bit less cant and is a hair shorter. I believe it is a bit more comfortable than the first one.

The very one.

I stopped in a fairly new pawn shop in Westmoreland today. I looked the place over, and while they had a nice display area, it was pretty much filled with junk. I spotted an odd looking rifle on the rack. I asked to see the rifle that resembled a Krag Jorgensen. The guy proudly handed the butchered rifle to me and declared it to be a genuine 30-40. He even showed me a round of ammo that fit it. I looked the rifle over. It had been sporterized with a fairly utilitarian, ameteurishly checkered stock, and a Williams peep sight added. I thought if it were cheap enough, it might make a decent truck rifle. That's when I flipped the tag over. The price was $2999.95.:eek:I first thought $299.95...a little high, but not too bad. When I finally realized I'd missed a decimal place, I returned the rifle to the guy, turned around and left; never to return. What's wrong with people!!??!?? I think he'd watched too much "Pawn Stars".

Aha.

After last year's spectacular 0-6 start, you never know what to expect.

I thought those were 7.62.

$250

Unlike the high brow, orange wearing, high class geniuses who all nme their illegitimite children "Peyton"?

I have an old Mauser that was horribly fouled. I made a wooden plug and drove it into the muzzle end of the barrel. I then poured the chamber end full of copper solvent and left it standing on the wooden plug for several days. Sure snough, it broke the fouling loose when nothing else would.

Very interesting. Too bad more history hasn't been preserved. Thanks for sharing.

Guys, we are all going to have to get together for a tasting.

Gary Lee and Showdown......listen at your own risk: NOT WORK SAFE!!!

All too well.:blush:".....and we're off to the rodeo!"

My two favorite teams are Vanderbilt and whoever is playing U.T.

I thought I'd met a kindred soul until I saw the alligator picture you posted. Anyway, the Tennessee blowout was so funny, it almost took the sting out of the Vanderbilt slaughter. Anybody out there got an extra coach? It didn't look like Robbie Caldwell even knew where he was most of the game.

Too cool! If the wine turned out half as good as the labels, I'd love to try some.

EBAY!

That is a beautiful song. I've never heard it before. We saw him perform at the Opry not too long after his liver transplant. He was definitely the real deal.

Yes sir, that's definitely a staple in cowboy music.
