  1. I know of an actual case where the DEA put a well placed .50 cal. round into one of the turbo prop engines and the pilot grew immediately wise and shut it down.
  2. I have one, it is my primary SASS rifle in .45. Out of the box it was smooth, internally it was clean and I had nothing done to it. I have no complaints about it, I'd even buy another if needed. And I have shot it quite a bit in the years that I have owned it, no failures or breakage.
  3. I did the reverse, I ordered the rifle for hunting and not CAS. Having used the Shiloh Sharps for big game, I an tell you that the 45-70 is more than adequate for hunting purposes. Mule deer and cow elk were relocated from the field to the freezer. Then one day I started practicing at greater distances and remember thinking, hey this is fun! So now my Shiloh Sharps 1874 Business rifle in 45-70 fills both needs and it may not be a Quigley but it is all I need with a 30 inch barrel that is round and octagon.
  4. Wrongful convictions, yes.
  5. I have used them and they all worked well. I guess the green means they are environmentally friendly and leave to carbon footprint. Recently someone asked me why was there a electrical cord poking through the grill of my Silverado HD, I told them it was a green electric truck and I was thanked for being environmentally conscious. Same concept.....
  6. The ones that I have seen and handled are quality rifles. I will get one eventually in .357 just because ... my dream would be in .41 mag., but probably not a reality.
  7. Favorite hunting rifle......Shiloh Sharps 1874 Business Rifle
  8. Mine is in the category of a great rifle to shoot and so glad I got it when I did....
  9. Unique and 231 is one of those go-to hand gun powders. I recently came upon a 4lb bottle at a smaller mom and pop gun store and I was morally obligated to give it a home. When I first started reloading in the early 70's it was my first powder at the advice of a wise old timer....How'd I get this old?
  10. I have never cared for it, this year I'll probably be outside on my horse.....
  11. I'm old school. I like pretty wood and polished blue in my lever guns.....
  12. My daughter can change a tire on her horse trailer in a snow storm, bone out an elk, reload ammo or be a lady when needed. My nephew wears make up……nuf said.
  13. Collectors gun and not recommended for shooting Iver Johnsons "Owl Head”, .38 S&W caliber (Black Powder only) There are no markings on the frame and no serial number to research its age, best guess is 1910 and that is only a guess. This gun is for black powder only. The flutes in the cylinder for the stop bolt are longer than the ones for smokeless and the owl is facing forward. This was part of an estate that I acquired and have no need for it. Perhaps some one out there needs a piece of history. $100 and I get the shipping ..... I am at the mercy of LGS's and fellow shooters on what this is. It is a novelty item, and the information provided is a best guess. What is consistent is the brand, claliber and the "don't shoot this". Even the internet has been less than helpful at times. My expertise is not in anything made by Iver Johnson. Thanks for looking......
  14. I have not made it to Deadwood, yet....
  15. In AZ she would be charged, murder is still murder. Trial, highly unlikely, a plea very likely. Competency and mental health would be the sticking points. As a old curmudgeon once told me; at 85 or 90 a life sentence is much shorter.....
  16. Colt Python 357 Magnum 4.25in Stainless Steel Revolver - 6 Rounds - Satin Finish - $1279.99 Anyone seen one of these? https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/handguns/colt-python-357-magnum-425in-stainless-steel-revolver-6-rounds/p/1857054
  17. I have used 1000's in small pistol, large pistol, large rifle and small rifle standard. Never a problem one.......I came across a bunch for sale at a LGS that was closing and bought them all, pre Dumpster Fire (2020). A lucky move on my part.
  18. I am finding that I am growing weaker and needing one of the new Henry 1860's simply because of the cool factor......trying to decide between steel or brass...opinions?
  19. My favorite is my old Marlin 336 Texan from 1969. Lots of mule deer and cow elk have fallen to this rifle.....
  20. Couple of questions: What is it, there are no markings or numbers... It is a .38 short... There is a "owl" on the grips Is it worth anything? To all of you that have educated me and what this antique paperweight is....a big thank you! Hashknife CB
  21. You find yourself in the LGS and ask if they have a second pistol, not to choose from but to buy a pair. You have been known to carry a single action for conceal carry. Walrus ivory is good but elephant is pure decadence and quietly desired. You get really excited when you find a older Marlin that you do not have, yet.... "Colt" is not a 4 letter word. You find yourself reading True West at work, digitally..... Your "go to" is a revolver. You firmly believe cowboy guns breed if left undisturbed in the big metal box for 120 days. You make a point of shooting or riding your horse on National Day of the Cowboy on the 4th Saturday in July. And lastly, you know that we need a true Cowboy in the White House.
  22. Whenever I fall to temptation and use a .45 for long range it allows me to go make a sandwich and enjoy it while the bullet is in flight......
