I don’t suppose I’ve ever seen nickel plating crack. Shows how much attention I pay.

Although the top breaks are neat pieces of history, they do not command the collector interest the newer hand ejector models do. There are folks out there who collect these, however. In fact, I don’t happen to have any in my collection. If he decides to sell and doesn’t want to deal with shipping, listing them in the classified section here wouldn’t be a bad plan. What is on the side plate in the third picture?

#1 take some concentration! Glad to see you posting again. I appreciate the tips and expect others or as well.

Cheap 9mm!!! $229.99 to your door seems reasonable.

I'll bet! No way I could do it.

Many thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I’m having pretty good luck learning lacing techniques, but I’m not yet where I want to be with the carving. Making a smooth arc with a swivel knife is proving to be quite a challenge. If you have a workbench and some spare time, it is a fun hobby to try and learn. You can learn a lot surfing the web, and get everything you need at Tandy Leather.

Because he doesn’t agree with you?

It’s a slow process. I guess if the new one is better than the old one, you should keep going.

Damned if the government takes any responsibility.

We are now the laughing stock of the world.

To be precise, a couple of them were reported to be hobbyist balloons.

I understand our military is now shooting down weather balloons. I always wanted to go for a ride in a hot air balloon, but I think I’ll put that on the back burner for now.

Now maybe you won’t get a ticket for having expired tags?

I’d make that trade.

The only thing I ever liked about Gatlinburg was the store after store filled with Big Johnson T shirts.

How the hell are you still posting here?

All mine are defective. They won’t even poke a 1/4” hole through a groundhog!

Three chords and the truth!

I expect hell is a lot like Gatlinburg. If you go back, give Townsend a try. Drive through “The Tail of the Dragon” and look around. The Smokies is a beautiful place.

Sir, I cannot find the words to show my appreciation for all the efforts you’ve put into furthering our gun rights in Tennessee. I suck at expressing myself, so please do not take offense at my attempt. I am only speaking for myself, but may well resemble other members here…maybe not. I despise politicians. I probably cannot communicate directly with politicians without incurring legal troubles. I vote regularly. That’s about all I know I can legally do. I understand you know more things we can legally do to help persuade our elected officials. I would appreciate instruction or suggestions as to what we should be doing to help. I expect others would as well. It isn’t that we won’t help, it’s that we all have different strengths and weaknesses, and we really just don’t know what to do. I sure hope you take from this post what I meant to convey.

Lol! It looks pregnant, but you know what? If they help you hit the target, they’re friggin beautiful!!!

This prepping subject always tickles me. You know who was a prepped? Your grandma and grandpa! They had tools. They had food preserved and stored. They had a spare bundle of roofing shingles and a ladder. They had gas for the chainsaw. They had basic first aid medicine in the cabinet. They had a well or spring. These folks could survive most anything they faced. All these folks who sit at a computer all day and think they are going to somehow wander out in the woods and survive a nuclear war or civil uprising are going to be quickly surprised when the lights go out.

I have a friend who owns an 1887. My opinion of it is it’s big, heavy, awkward, and clunky. It has all the handling characteristics of a 6x6 post. To be fair, however, I have the same opinion of the model 88 Winchester. I love me some Winchesters, but not these two models. Your mileage may vary.

I don’t see a 22lr on your list. I’d suggest searching out a 39A if you’re a Marlin guy. You won’t be sorry.

First it has to be enforced.
