Looks like he's guilty of 'fudging'..... ..........Widder

i dumped a few. Try again. ..........Widder

Its common knowledge that we can get our 66's, 73's and 92 rifles with little efforts. And we can get our Rugers, Cimmaron and Taylor SIX Shooters with little efforts. When it comes to SG's, some are a little harder to acquire, AND so are some Marlins. But I thought I would share a little known secret that might help some of you Pards who are looking for a Marlin 1894. Boomstick Jay. That Texas outlaw/renegade feller is hiding all of them at his bunkhouse. This is unsolicited info but if I were looking for a specific 1894 Marlin (32-20; 25-20, .32 H&R, .38, 44, 45) I would pick up my phone and call him at his hideout down in TX. Matter of fact, I think I might try to weasel a .45 Colt Cowboy out of his hands. ..........Widder

Chantry, Tom always said that its not unusual to be loved by anyone...... ..........Widder

If you do the math, it looks like there was a 28 years span between the 1st child and the last. My Grandma had 12 kids that span about 30 years of birth. My dads oldest sister had a son that was older than my dad. In other words, my dad was an uncle to an older nephew. ..........Widder

AJ, sent you a PM. ..........Widder

FLAT. ..........Widder

My comment isn't intended to be pro/con Beretta, 1911, etc..... But I will comment on Seldom Seen's post about the cost of switching calibers, gun sizes, etc.... on the P320. As mentioned before, I like BOTH of mine. And SS is correct in the fact that the cost factor of a new gun vs. buying barrel/grip from SIG was the exact reason I bought a whole new pistol. Paying out $350-400 was just too close to the price of a NEW gun and I choose to buy a new P320 in .357 SIG to go with my 9mm. ..........Widder

Bayonetted would be more like being a pin cushion. Lanced would appear to be more like being 'skewered'..... This of course, is just my opinion. ..........Widder

Who is/are your most memorable characters from TV or Big Screen? MIne, from a pure entertaining enjoyment of their character: BARNEY Fife FESTUS Hagen ..........Widder

Lanced hurts more, but it does allow you enough time to chuck a torch before succumbing to the pain..... ..........Widder

I'll be sure to make up some 'special' fireballs for you and do some night shooting. Probably this spring. Side note: Spent the day with Curly Bill Kelly putting the final touches on a Marlin 1894 Cowboy converted to the .45 ACP Its set up to run .45 ACP with anything from a 160 grain lead slug up to the 230 round ball. If I can tweak the ejections of empties a little better, its gonna be a super fine little rifle. ..........Widder

I own two P320's 9mm and .357 SIG. They are great pistols. Mine have been 100% reliable and consistently accurate. I like those SIG so much, I also got me a new P220 Elite in 10mm. Ain't had time to shoot it yet but I expect it to be a hoss. ..........Widder

He not only sang The Imp Dream at special events, charities, etc..... but he also sang it in one of his 'Gomer Pyle, USMC' episodes. Question: Didn't Festus also appear and sing in 'She Wore A Yellow Ribbon'? ..........Widder

Thanks Scarlett. Glad you and Billy the Avenger like em. I like your list of gunsmiths/leathersmiths. Mine would also include: Lassiter Curly Bill Kelly Doc Noper Slick McClade Johnny Meadows ..........Widder

WEEEEE-YU, I love em. Snake Oil George and Creek County Kid do excellent work. I still love my .32 Rugers with Octagon barrels. ..........Widder

Sorry I wasn't there to see you again, JH. Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. And you are right..... those Pards in the Oak Ridge Outlaws are #1. ..........Widder

Bunker Hill was my great, great uncle..... ..........Widder

Not only are the scammers out there, but there are many folks who seem to just sit around, waiting to be scammed. People are so gullible. I won't even answer a 'survey' question on the phone about what radio station I listen too. I normally reply with: "hey, I don't call you at your home asking STUPID questions so don't call me. Get a real job". Then I hang up. ..........Widder

Hey Pards, What surprised me is that I don't have to resize this new stuff. I mic'd the new brass, then resized 5 of them and the diameter was identical. So, no resizing was even required or necessary. ..........Widder

Boon, It'll take you 550 days to collect all that money..... You'll be checking your bank account everyday with anxiety..... It won't be worth the wait..... Send me $78 and I'll tell you a dirty joke. Atleast you'll have a dirty joke to share with friends for the next 550 days..... ..........Widder

I can fit right in on that one..... Thanks. ..........Widder

I've never met any that I can think of. BUT, I once received a Hand Written letter from Bill Jordan. It was in reply to a question I had based on an article in the American Rifleman and Shooting Times. I still have that letter. It was very friendly and cordial, almost like he knew me as a good friend. ..........Widder

Once again, Starline brass has delivered me good, clean pieces of new brass. Last years order of .32 H&R brass required NO pre-preparations. No deburring/chamfering required. I started the reloading process by 'belling' the case mouth and everything worked great. TODAY, I received my latest order of 10mm brass. No deburring/chamfering required. Just 'bell' the case mouth and start reloading. These guys sure know their business. ..........Widder
