Ol' Larry know a bit about "the right to bare arms"!

The big red Folger's Coffee can work great for storing ammo when emptied. I have several full of reloads in various calibers. They also stack well, and you can pick up a full can by the handle.

I expect that comment was aimed squarely at me.....too bad, I would like to have read the story. :pleased:

I don't shop with them much, but I will say they had stuff in stock when no one else did. The crazy prices were the only reason they did. I didn't like their prices, and didn't buy anything from them, but I suppose it was nice to know some mags and ammo were available in an emergency.

My father bought me a Ruger Single Six with two cylinders from Wal Mart for my birthday when I was a teenager. I still have it, and it's still in the box.

Cause there's a whole bunch of them.

What's a meter? :shrug:

I would look for an older rear engine Snapper. They are darned near bullet proof. They are made such that there are very few things that can happen to them.   If my yard were a lot smaller, that is all I would ever have.

I've had: Kawasaki KM 100 Honda CB360 Harley Davidson Sportster 1000 Yamaha XS 850 Special Yamaha DT175 Yamaha DT360 Honda CR125 Yamaha XT350   ....and now I have a wife. :shrug:

Not a big feat.

If I turn or replace rotors, the vehicle gets new pads as well. You are already in there, and they aren't that expensive. Also, I expect there is a good chance they'd wear funny with bad rotors.

Three bills.

When the pads look thin, start making noise, or the rotors start wobbling, which is very rarely if you know how to drive properly.

I guess it is the left hander in me that asks "why?".

I'm just glad my kids are finally old enough to know that some things just will not flush down the toilet.

Would one from a standard 1911 work?

Why sure! That's what 38 Special shotshells are made for.

I'd probably post the name of this company so we know who to avoid.

You'll find that Riverside Arms predated the Stevens brand I believe. Same gun; different name.

The saddle ring carbine has a hevy, 20" barrel, while the 1920 has what I believe is a 22" barrel. The 1899 was made in 1906, an the 1920 was made sometime in the early 20's.

The 1920 is very trim. It feels like a single shot bolt action 22 in your hands. Except for maybe a Mannlicher-Schoenauer, it is the lightest, nimblest centerfire rifle I can recall laying hands on. The odd thing I found about it was that it has a military type 2 stage trigger.

There's a lot going on with that front sight. You figured out how it works yet?   Quit taking pictures and go shoot the rifle! I'm guessing it's a tack driver.

Yup. :up: 1899 Savage F (saddle ring carbine) in 303 Savage, and a model 1920 Savage in 250-3000. That didn't take long. You don't run across many 1920's, or at least I don't.

(hint) They are both the same brand, and from the same era.

My Honda tells me when it's time to change the oil; usually about every 8k miles. I figure the engineers at Honda know a lot more about it than I do.
