  1. I’m just the opposite, unless it is a single action auto (1911)
  2. Ok. I probably should have taken better (more) photos. This is the rifle I got when my buddy Bjon got the one above. It’s also a Winchester 1894 but from 1907 chambered in 38-55. I cleaned up and re-did the oil finish on the wood. This was the dirtiest rifle I have picked up yet. It made me wonder if it had been cleaned in the last 50+ years. I had to get oil in it just to get it to cycle. I did a complete tear down, cleaning and such. The rust was removed from the metal parts for the most part and then cold blued. I like them to still have some of their character, not to look like a Turnbill gun. I picked up an old Lyman peep sight for this one.
  3. Ah, good ol’ Ben Franklin. I had many of those little green army men. Most ended up succumbing to the bic lighter.
  4. Somewhere around here there is a wooden spoon with my daughter’s name on it.
  5. It’s bad form to question someone’s asking price in the thread. Those comments are best left to an IM.
  6. I tried to get my old x-rays from St. Thomas from when I broke both bones in my forearm back in 94. It was ugly. Two plates and 3 days on a morphine drip.
  7. I feel like a youngun around here (I’ll be 55 on the 28th). Hope you heal quickly.
  8. Welcome from the Nashville. The Lipscomb area is home to me.
  9. I have 10 rounds of Federal Premium 7mm Rem Mag, 160 GR. Nosler Partition. $20. Local pickup Nashville area (too much to ship small quantities of ammo). I will be in the Memphis area next week and west of Knoxville the week of April 8th or 15th (not sure which week).
  10. Cleaning out the closet. I have a box of once fired 38spl brass I got with an auction lot of random ammo. Free to whoever wants it. There are fifty 38spl and six .357. Local meet in Nashville (I-65@Harding area) or $10 shipped USPS small flat rate box. Venmo or PayPal FF. I will be in the Memphis area next week and west of Knoxville the week of April 8th or 15th (not sure which week).
  11. I know. And of course you did a trust. I’m wondering if the individual Form4s are all but automated now. The Trust paperwork may have to at least has one set of eyes on it.
  12. Ok so first is a 1923 Winchester 94. The barrel is actually from an earlier 1894 and is octagonal. It has been cut down from 26” to 22”. This is a buddies but I did the cleanup on it. Full tear down and cleaning. Wood cleaned up and a new hand rubbed oil finish. The barrel blueing is great except for some spots near the muzzle where something got on the finish and caused rust. I cleaned it up the best I could w/o messing with the original finish. The receiver/parts, butt plate and forend cap got some cold blueing. turned out nice.
  13. That’s because he is wearing sandals. If they were loafers, the socks would be white.
  14. Two more form 4s submitted today. We will see how long they take. My FFL told me he had an individual form 4 (mine are on a trust) recently come back in three days. He has seen form 4s on a trust come back in three weeks since the ATF updated the e-form system. Fingers crossed.
  15. So glad you are OK.
  16. A couple more followed me home. Pictures as soon as they are cleaned up. 1907 Winchester model 1894 in 38-55. 25” octagonal barrel with full length mag tube. Well used with most of the blueing gone to a brown patina. 1927 Winchester Model 94 on 30wcf. 22” octagonal barrel, 3/4 length mag tube. Better condition, the barrel is beautiful (possibly a re-barrel sometime in its past). It is actually a buddies but I am cleaning it up. Soon to be here a really really ugly and rough 1951 Marlin 336RC. Should be a waffle top. Not sure and don’t know if it has been tapped for a scope (hope not) as there were no photos of the top of the receiver. “Gunsmith special”. It was a bit of a gamble. But should be a fun project.
  17. I want to watch this as well. I will probably wait until I can either binge watch it, or at least watch an episode every night.
  18. Can you really have enough 22’s or lever guns?
  19. Not having really looked at Winchesters I’m 22LR before, is the excitement on this because Winchester hasn’t made one in almost 20 years, and the price is better? How is this different than the 9422?
  20. I may need to hold one and see how it feels.
  21. I just re-watched Season 1. It was just as good the second time.
