Back in the olden days of Arizona before concealed carry, if one wished to be armed, the only legal way as openly. Going into a bar where one was not allowed to be armed,...

I have little or no experience with the marlin jam. I had a 1970s period marilin 1894 in 357, it had some sort of feed issue that required it to be taken apart to clear. I nevr did figure out how or...

In the late 70s I had a Super Blackhawk that had the base pin jump past the keeper shooting factory 44 mag loads. The local old school gunsmith said he deepened the hole the cross screw was in so it...

If youre heading north towards the Canyon, the Verde Valley has some interesting stuff, Sedona being just one of them. The town is touristy and busy, the time of week and weather being a factor in...

Having family or other humans around more the seating is likely used more. Ive rarely used the middle seats in any of my suburbans, Maybe 3 or 4 times each in the older ones, never in 5 years in the...

I think it was custom work such as the guns in previous posts as well as other work that helped influence Ruger and Colt to bring out adjustable sighted SAs.

One older variation on the SA type I...

Some interesting comments.

Ive owned mostly 4x pickups and suvs. With the exception of the freebie old family farm pickup, all have had a shell of some sort on them to keep dogs and gear safe and...

I had forgotten that scene.

Ive slept out under the stars or in a tent a couple thousand nights or so in both Az and in the Rockies in grizzly country, most nights the rifle slept with me, mostly...

Thanks for that link, Im not sure Ive seen all of it yet.

I have a couple copies of the print magazine John put out in the late 80s or early 90s. Ive seen them recently, but not positive exactly...

Ive used SAs a fair amount over time, mostly what would be considered field use, but the aspect of defensive use when alone and out in the hills or wherever is an obvious side note. Ive tried and...

With a shoulder and back injury Ive been unable to shoot shotguns, other than a 410 in a gauge reducer. The answer for my use was to remove the stock. When I tried a shockwave, I had a way to shoot...

Depends on what you want to do with it and how much the historical aspects interest you. I got the Browning 92 because i wanted a 44 mag carbine, was not interested in another Marlin, nor a...

Yes, I have a recent Winchester/Miroku 73 carbine in 357. I also have a Browning 92 carbine in 44 cal, I believe I acquired it in the mid 90s. I'd love to have a Browning 92 in 357. If I felt the...

I believe accuracy problems with the Ruger 77-357 guns was a thing, its not specific to the cartridge, but to Rugers execution of the idea somehow. They also had some problems with the 22 mags or 22...

The Browning 92 is probably a better gun than anything made today, the current Winchester 92 parts should interchange other than the modified hammers/triggers and related small parts.

Your reason...

I boughtm my 47 knuckle as a basket case chopper in 1979 or 80, the motor was tired, frame extensively modified...I had a guy do the lower end, I had the machine work done on the top end and put it...

Jay Leno has some great motorcycles besides his cars. Would love to find a 36 Knuckle I could afford.

I try to keep basic spare parts on hand for things I use. I broke one firing pin in a post-64 Winchester 94 in about 1975, I stopped dry firing them and havent ever needed to replace one since. I...

Ive carried 44s and heavy loaded 45s for many years, but carrying them and the bear capable 1886 carbine are becoming more trouble with the bad back, shoulder and hip, besides just not able to do as...

125s. They were touted as the best"stopping" load in the past, I think the velocity helped with terminal performance, but the 158 sjhp seemed...

When shooting lighter loads I just shot them and figured out the POA/POI difference at useful ranges without changing the sights. With a scope on the 338 it was generally a little low with a 200 gr...

I dont know of anyone making them currently, but Safariland made a quad carrier for comp 1 loaders, Ive seen one, and own it. Id like to have another.

Regarding current prices and flat tops... I flat topped a couple regular blackhawks, a 44 mag and 45, I like how they turned out but like the 45 best for its lighter feel and I had a different front...
