Those were Brass plated 94’s ? Maybe that’s why I thought they looked like modern Henry’s !! 😂

They might well have been. When they cycled the actions, the mechanism looked like 94s. But if Henry uses a similar action they could have been Henrys. I just looked at Henry's website, and I don't think they were Henrys. 

In the movie the loading gate was easily visible, but I can't say that I could see the side ejection port that Henrys have. 

What ever they were, they should have been Sharps Carbines.

We just finished watching it. It was okay, costuming was good, gun leather was good, most of the guns were good. A couple characters were carrying S&W revolvers. The worst though was U.S. Cavalry using brass plated Winchester 94s.

ok , i buy that premise long as its not getting crammed down my throat at the exclusion of one group 

 

    I liken it to the Bridge Crew of Kirk's Enterprise: They were all simply the best at what they were doing, and their diverse backgrounds had nothing to do with it. 

    I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again: As a young Marine I learned that if a man can and will do what needs to be done, his race, religion, national origin or sexual orientation don't matter. If he can't or won't do what needs to be done, his race, religion, national origin or sexual orientation don't matter.

Same here.  I look at all the so-called "new" guns and have only one thing to say: ho hum!

I'll be the first to admit that Glocks are fine pistols. Probably 2/3rds of the nation's Police Forces use them. I don't like them. I still carry my 1911 or my Ruger NMV for EDC.

I'm not a cop, and I never played one on TV. I'm just an old Marine who wants to be able to cover my butt, I don't need to take out the entire gang, just get clear.

I remember as a kid, 6-7 YO, the New York State Thruway was just opened. We lived in north NJ and my Grandparents lived in Rochester, NY. We visited for the weekend and it started snowing in south NY Saturday night into Sunday morning. Left Rochester at the usual time in clear weather. We ran into snow south of Albany, NY. The NYST was officially closed, however, there was no other better route. There were two tire tracks through the snow with no lane markers showing. Dad drove through the failing light following the two red tail lights of the car ahead of us. I’m fairly certain that driver was doing the same. If anyone in, what I presume was a long single file line of vehicles, had gone off the road there would have been quite a pileup. As it was we made it and I’m still here to remember. For a youngster it was a surreal almost ghostly experience. I’m sure my Dad was exhausted after that drive.

I think that it was the Winter of '87-'88. I was stationed at NAS South Weymouth Massatoshits. Weymouth is South of Boston, Housing was in Quincy, about halfway between the two.

I woke up to about a foot or so of new snow. They hadn't gotten around to clearing the streets yet, so I shifted my Jeep into 4X4 and headed off to the Base. I took Mass. Route 3 towards the base, as usual. It wasn't cleared either. Mass. 3, while not an Interstate, is a Limited Access Highway, so it's like one. Pretty much no traffic, except one set of tracks, which I followed. Before long, I caught up to the guy making them, a taxi cab. I followed him for a while, but he was going slower and slower. I finally downshifted and went around him, now being the one plowing the way.

I reported for Duty on time, but about half the Squadron didn't make it in.

[If You Like Your AR-15, You Can Keep Your AR-15]

From Breitbart,

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) introduced legislation this week that would prevent states from banning rifles and/or shotguns that are legal federally.

The legislation, the Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA), would operate as a national preemption law, preventing states from banning firearms the federal government has not banned. Moreover, it would undo bans contained in laws like New York’s SAFE Act.

Back in about 1981, Jacksonville N.C. got hit with about 2 FEET of snow. Camp Lejune was pretty much shut down for a week or so. MPs were shuttled to the Guard Gates by Amtrack.

 One time she ran out (not bad planning, just a flow that was about 3x normal) and couldn't go out because of cramps.   "Look for purple box."  There I was in Walmart looking at the 50 foot long,  10 foot high wall of the versions fo the product. Call her, ask her the brand,  the type, the specific wording on the box. 

When I was tasked with such purpose, I took a picture of the previously obtained box with my phone, because I was knowledgeable enough to know what I was in for.

I don't reload, but I'll go out on a limb here and guess that if he doesn't wear gloves during the reloading process, that any fingerprints will remain on the case because he's not going to place loaded ammunition in a tumbler. Just a guess mind you.

Hello.

 

I currently live in Show Low, AZ.

I may move, but not sure where to. Any advice and input is welcome.

 

I like mountains and four seasons with snow.

Creeks and little rivers.

I want to avoid anti-gun or lukewarm states.

I would like to find some land, affordable, and build a little house on it.

I like hiking, canoeing, and adventure driving: 4x4 and motorcycle.

 

In Arizona, I like the high country: Flagstaff, Prescott...  I don't like the lack of water or the damned forest fires.

No one mentioned "gun" friendly laws. That will eliminate Washington, Oregon, maybe Colorado.

You already mention that you like the Arizona high country Flagstaff and Prescott. Since you're already IN Arizona it would be a lot less work than to move anywhere else. If you choose Prescott, you've got Uncle Forty Rod to show you around, AND you already know that Arizona is just about the most gun friendly state there is.

The problem with some SUV/Mini Vans is that they have roof racks making it hard to remove  the snow and the snow/ice in between the roof racks will come flying off in large pieces on the highways.  Just read a news headline where a large piece of ice came off a vehicle and went through the front windshield of an 18 wheeler injuring the driver.

Yeah, getting the snow off our Suburban roof is kind of a hassle and it’s not lifted. It’s just a high roof. I need to use a push broom and good footing. I about fell on my arse the other day. 
Snow on the roof after a “wet” snow can be bad if it comes off and hits someone. Powder is no biggie until the roof heats and causes ice under the snow. Then it becomes a use sheet coming off the roof. 

Think about the truck drivers out there. A standard box truck or trailer, whether a 27 ft pup, a 36, 40, 48, 53 OR 56 foot is as much as 13 feet off the ground. There is NO provision for the driver to climb on top of it to even attempt to clear it off. Yet the driver is liable for any damage caused by snow or ice flying off the trailer.
