  1. A friend experienced the same thing with a stainless Ruger SBH in 44 mag. He cleaned it, shot it, and never looked back. The rust was surface only and cleaned right up.
  2. Sign up for the bestest newest match category around! CCFCGF!
  3. That Sharps rifle should stand out when it gets pawned somewhere. A fairly unique and seldom seen rifle. More modern guns not so much but it could be that that Sharps is identified in short order unless it goes across the border or in somebody’s basement for 10 years but I don’t see that happening as they were probably stolen to fund a drug habit. Problem is if the police find that Sharps it will be locked away, as evidence for who knows how long…
  4. When I was a 10th grader, one weekend I learned that two upper classmen had been involved in a car wreck, horribly killing one of them. They had been drinking and smoking pot. The driver, after getting out of the hospital, somehow avoided any serious charges and about six months after the accident I saw him drinking at another party. His actions had killed his best friend and through his sheer arrogance, or absolute idiocy did not seem to care. Laws and charges in punishment have certainly changed since then and I don’t think one could escape finding serious jail time for that now but that doesn’t change the fact that people are mangled and dead and those families will always struggle with those losses. Fast forward a number of years and when my son was in junior high, he came home and told me a story of how a kid at school got arrested by the police for possession of marijuana in his school locker. Come to find out it was the son of the person I mentioned in my first paragraph who was high when he killed his best friend in that car wreck. The apple certainly does not fall far from the tree sounds to me like the whole damn family needs to be in the clink.
  5. I have seen several of the new Ruger Marlins at the local Scheels, and they are exceptionally well made rifles. Their fit and finish is extremely well done. The 336 model didn’t last long but the two 44s they have even when offered at an $899 sale price did not sell. I’m hoping they do a 41 magnum in these.
  6. 1883 was good. Enjoyed it. 1923 is better. Enjoying it.. Not going to get hot and bothered about the actors and whether or not they think like me or not. It is a movie. I read a lot of books. I don’t dig into the author to determine whether or not they think like I do. It's entertainment.
  7. Technically doesn’t work in BW or CC but otherwise it's fantastic!
  8. And more importantly, hear it. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrup! Problem neutralized.
  9. How exactly does one survive a 2 mile fall? Land through soft tree canopy and splash down?
  10. This has Justin Trudeau-Newsome written all over it.
  11. These people are sometimes called low information voters. Just stickin their heads in the proverbial sand never makes things better.
  12. Forty Rod I'll heartily echo Rye's statement. You nailed it.
  13. Nope. I swore off that mind numbing stuff after high school.
  14. Wonder if it would help me with calculus?
  15. Back in 2018, there was a shooting in Santa Fe,Texas at a high school in which 10 students were killed and at least 10 more wounded. This one lasted for about a week in the national media after it was discovered the shooter was not a white boy, nor had he used an AR15. Apparently 10 dead students don’t count for anything in today’s media, but the shooter’s race and weapon of choice do and this one did not fit the left’s anti-gun political agenda.
  16. Very good article, Abilene Slim. Thanks for posting.
  17. The Virginia house passed this, but does this mean it is law? Doesn’t the governor need to sign this?
  18. What we can be sure of at this time is that the media will only report on this with any interest if the shooter fits their profile fitting their agenda. If the shooter does not match their profile, the coverage of this event itself dies in short order. We've seen that play out before...
  19. I'd opt for Dragoons over Walkers if shooting GF'r. The lack of a loading lever catch on a Walker might cause/will cause problems when the lever drops and ya have two loaded guns out simultaneously. (Unless there is a trick... and yes, I am aware a Dragoon might/can drop a loading lever too, but my experience with a Walker is about 100% it will...)
