Glad to hear your 1200 is up and running. Buddy had one bought around 69 new. Walnut and high polish for short money. Still got my Win.1300 Upland from 99. Never seen another with that straight english grip and prefer a pistol grip stock. Goin bye-bye soon for a Rem. 870.
Some great stories here! Miss my first 10/22 that was stolen. made in 1966 according to the serial. Walnut and metal innards I am sure all for around $47
Recall so many that are now gone like Skeeter, son Bart, P O Ackley, Jordan, Elmer Keith. Enjoyed Rick Jamison articles but have not read anything from him recently. Shooting Times and Guns&Ammo have always been favorite reads.
Been following all the tornadoes and bad weather in the west and mid west. Never heard of so many since April! So many deaths and injured folks it is heartbreaking. Property loss has been shocking. Feel deeply for the folks involved.
Thanks for the pics of those Pumas arfmel. White Hunter was always a favorite when I was young. I bought a Puma Skinner for under $30 back in 67 or 68 new. Marking on hilt has it made in Feb. of 1966. Older made puma are going for good money these days with the nickel-carbon blade.
Yeah seems all I read and hear is the high cost of home/auto insurance these days. Seems to have gone up greatly since hurricane Ian. So many Tornadoes this year already in the west and mid-west it is unreal.
Welcome. Fan of vintage and milsurps myself. Glad to have you aboard. I might suggest a section on Milsurps be added soon. They are sure a lucrative marked these days. not cheap either.
