    WBR and the transfer bar

    The story that I heard years ago, a man named Harold Nye who lived in New York, but had a business in Alaska came up to go bear hunting. The brush can get ridiculously thick and he was going through it. Apparently a branch caught on the hammer of his 44 mag and when when it slipped off, his...

    Doctoring a groundhog ( Sunday funny )

    I think trapping them would be a cottage industry. Put the teeth on a string and use for a necklace.

    Lever action Rifle .44 mag or 45-70?

    I have both, for 98% of the population the 44 mag is far more functional. A44 mag in a handgun is a formidable weapon, it in a rifle it’s substantial!!!

    How do you account for the resurgence in popularity of revolvers and lever action rifles?

    I’ve always had a soft spot for both, but I grew up during the day of the western. I started with revolvers, and my first deer rifle was a lever gun. But, as popular as semi’s are, more people seem to be drawn to small revolvers for concealed carry. Kimber has one, Lipsey’s decided to upgrade...

    Fair market value

    I don’t think the word has got around that prices have gotten soft. I’ve seen Zytel stock rifles as low as $800.

    Anyone ever stop a charging bear with a handgun?

    I haven’t had to, although there have been incidents where I thought this might be the time, and I was prepared. I had my 44 out and in my hand. Regardless I know a few people who have had to use a handgun. 2 used 454’s and two used 44’s. I’ve carried 454’s for short periods of time, but...

    Skeeter's Birthday.

    I really liked Skeeters writing. He was one of my absolute favorites. Regardless today is Mike Venturino’s birthday. I liked his early stuff. I think he’s gotten tired, but is trying to stay relevant. He’s not.

    SOLD Diamond D leather chest holster Guide series

    I bought this for a 4.2" Ruger Redhawk. This would also work for an N frame S&W. It hasn't been worn but I did put the gun in the holster to more or less break it in. I went a long time before I even tried the gun in the holster and it started out pretty tight. I called them to find out why...
