Forty Rod SASS 3935

Bought one from Sears store in Logan, Utah about 1960. They had ton of surplus guns and gear at the time. I think I gave about $10.00 for it and another t$10.00 got a bayonet, sling, and some ammo. It waas in good shape, but not great shape. I shot up the ammo and sold the gun within a week. It just wasn't right for me but my friend liked it, so he got it.

I buy some shears at Harbor Freight. I use them far more than I do my knives. They aren't great but they work. cost under $20.00 for a dozen.

Not mine. I bought a Colt 1911A1 at the PX on Okinawa and carried it, and I picked up an S&W Model 60 for someone going home. Had a room mate who got a Browning High Power there and knew a Chaplain who did too.

I always thought it was great when everyone else cracked up, but when Tim broke himself up it was a treasure.

Two of my favorite comics. Made a couple of movies together, all pretty funny. NONE OF THEM WERE THE "PRIVATE EYES!" I rate it right below Blazing Saddles and bunch of other waste of time movies. A total waste of time. The only reason I watched all of it was to see if anything in it was funny. T'wasn't, not for second.

Shop called today and I got the ammo. Came home and was putting it away when I found an earlier box of .32 S&W by Hornady. price tag says I bought it about a year and a half ago for $7.40 less than the new box. Also caused a problem because if I had the ammo, what gun does it fit? Oh boy oh boy oh boy a mystery to solve.

I could have written that. I agree 100%. I also carry a 1947 era Colt Dick Special. I added a Tyler T Grip to make it fit, nothing else is non-stock. JFWIW, I don't own any plastic guns either.

I'm the same age, never had any back surgery and am now 5"9, down from 5'11". 283 pounds to 201 pounds in 16 months, but I don't think I'll ever unshrink!

Yeah! Move to Arizona.

I just found a Marble's Improved Model 16B front sight for the 94. Now it will be exactly like the one I took my first mule deer with in 1957. It was in Temple Fork up Logan Canyon in Northern Utah. Good four point buck just right for eating. As we were getting ready to load it in the car Dad nailed a fine two pointer not thirty yards from the car with his .35 Remington Model 8. His fit the trunk, mine rode the roof. We had both at the butcher / cold storage locker and were home for supper.

Small downside: ammo cost 15% more for 50 rounds than I paid for the gun. Hornady makes it. I'll pick it up Tuesday when I take my dog to the vet a block from the only shop in the valley that can get it. (I gotta learn how to get pictures on this site.)

Yeah, 'tis. Mine didn't come with case and fooferaw that this one has, but it's real keeper.

Shawn never said whaat he was going to use it for. That might change a few opinions and / or answers.

NOBODY ever brings me food. A lot of people take me to lunch or dinner. Sometimes it's some place very special, sometimes just burger or pizza place. Doesn't matter: it isn't about the food!

I lost a bulb on one of my cars and took it to the dealer. Over $300.00 quoted. BS I was talking to a friend who owned a gas station. He had me take to him. He ordered a bulb and when it came in I went back. Under two hours, Less tan $20.00. If it isn't something covered cost free in a warranty go see a local source, DON'T GO TO A DEALERSHIP!

And a great many of us don't give damn about what the bean counters want. If most of them and corporate lawyers were all fired my life would be much simpler

And that, my old friend, is why ice cream comes in so many flavors. I feel exactly the same about my situation in life.

So far, so good, but there are 363 days left for it all to go to hell.

I have had a 1921 vintage 94 with a 26 inch octagonal barrel since about 1980. It looks almost like new with only a tiny splinter missing on the top of the right forearm. Owen Money worked on it when I got it and it runs like custom gun. I can't imagine a better .30-30, though I also had a Savage 99 that is fine second choice. I wish I hadn't sold it.

My part of AZ is a mile high and seldom hot summer temps over 95. Eat your heart out.

Sarge, what's this snow stuff they're talking about?

Some days just start out great and keep on getting better. I went to breakfast with some local shooters and one dropped a little gun rug in front of me. It held a S&W 1 1/2 single action in .32 S&W in very nice shape. Blue Book (which I have very little faith in) lists it $600.00. I asked if it was for sale. Yes. How much? I paid over half that amount for breakfast. Santa was a bit late but he found me anyway.

That's what I was referring to.
