I have a 640 for extended shooting sessions and a 642 for carry. I don't find either of them very hard to manage. My wife is a small lady, but she is deadly with one. She carries a model 37, which is a blued version of the 642 with a hammer.

Looking good!

I'd play it cool until we landed, at which point I'd beat the SOB half to death.

Elmer Keith's "Hell, I Was There" should be mandatory reading for anyone in this forum.

It depends on what it is. I doubt a Hi Point box would bring a big premium, but old, original Colt boxes can add many hundreds to the price of the gun.

Show em. I'd like to see them. THe Stevens tip up is a pretty neat little rifle, and a very unique looking gun. The problem with yours is that you can't find ammo for it. It is still a cool conversation piece, and looks to be in pretty good, original condition considering they haven't been made in over a hundred years. I just love the looks of them. They were made in many variations, which lends well to collecting them. Some of them were quite intricate.

Vandy is the way to go. Their players can read and write. They also don't need a large endowment fund for BAIL MONEY!

I probaly could, but he just bought giant pumpkin seeds at the store. He had a miracle grow drip set up for it, had a shed built over it, and pulled off all the blooms after the pumpkin began to grow. If they are a hybrid, then I doubt the seeds from it would do any good. I don't know if they are hybrid or not.

.....and my neighbor won the largest pumpkin,,,,109 lbs.

S&W Forum Here's the guys you need to talk to. Interesting piece! This is also where I'd sell it.

Not another yankee??!!!??

I don't believe there is very much "bad" in people. Most of it boils down to ignorance and apathy. I don't think the lady meant any harm, she just seemed very uncomfortable.

Perhaps I spoke a bit too quickly. It would appear that the ladies checking in the fair entries either had a change of heart, or else weren't the judges.

That's two Stevens Tip Ups on here in the last few weeks. They are really starting to drag them out. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/long-guns/42911-what-gun.html

Lately, I've been buying bullets from want to sell ads in several different internet forums. It takes patience, but I've made some good buys at some really deep discounts.

Tandy is where I get mine.

Smokeless powder would be one's first thought. It would have to be inserted with a hydraulic press.

:up:Cool!

That's a good looking setup. I've never shot steel targets. Looks like fun.

Wht not just shoot it and enoy it? That's what I think I'd do.

:DKinda reminds me about what I've been told about old policeman. Don't mess with em. They won't chase you, they'll just shoot you.

Our county fair is this week, and today was the day for entries in the fair competitions. As I went to help a neighbor carry a huge pumpkin there for the competition, I thought I'd bring along a piece of my leatherwork and enter it in the crafts competition while I was there. I had a plastic toy revolver that fit it perfectly, so I put it in the holster because it didn't look right empty. When I got there, the ladies recording entries were not impressed. One even suggest she wasn't sure anything like that would be allowed. This is Macon County for goodness sake! Boy have things changed since I was a child. Here's what I entered, except the real Model 29 was replaced with a plastic copy. I can already see I won't do any good, but I was proud of it. Perhaps it will get me some business anyway. I never dreamed anyone in my hometown would take that type of attitude about guns and gun related gear. I guess the years of the media constantly beating their anti gun drum have taken their toll everywhere.

I haven't hunted in them, but I'd wear my Muck boots everyday if people wouldn't make fun of me for wearing rubber boots. They are that comfortable. I have Rocky hunting boots. They are warm as toast, and comfortable as well.
