Like Stevens I like buying used guns. On new guns, right after my divorce I was gun less after selling all for the child custody lawyer money. I bought a new Rem 870 express in 20 NIB at a lgs. Took it rabbit hunting that weekend with my bro and uncle with their beagles. The dogs ran a rabbit...

My first deer rifle was a Win Mod 100 carbine with the 18.5 bbl, it was loud. I once took a model 725 Remington in trade, I was young, good ears. A 20" bbl was standard. It was in 06, it was the loudest and most painful to my ears rifle I've ever shot. It went quickly on a trade. Later the guy...

My first willys was a 1952 M38 army surplus in the late 60s. I put a Buick v 6 in it. Dad bought it and I stripped a 50 Cj3 to the frame and redid it.some body offered me too much money and I sold it. I had an early Waggoner and loved it. It had a 3 on the tree that kept hanging in 2 gears. I...

A red neck once told me that he holds his beer in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand and has his arm around his woman.

Seat belts and turn signals are auto printed in my brain. I too signal when no one is there, even off the gravel road to my drive. And traffic lights are another irritant. I tell my wife and others when they are driving that they pulled out when the lite turned green. They always say it's...

I have one in 22 LR. Mine seems to be very accurate. I use hi speed ammo to get reliable ejections. I keep Cci stingers just for it. I had the choice between it and the Walther pp 22 at a gun show but had read bad reports on the ppk. I would not trade it for a ppk. It is my most carried front...

My Dad borrowed 2 rifles from a hunting buddy or my younger brother and I to Deer hunt with. Little Bro got the Win M 88 in 308. I got the Rem 721 in 300 H&H. Dad's buddy took those 2 guns to Canada every year for black bear and moose. I coveted that Rem 721. I killed my 1st buck with it.still...

I've bought from many places. When I lived close to STL I mostly used Dunno and later Cabelas. I've found good buys at some LGS's. When I find a good buy I will buy lots of it. I once stopped by a hardware store to get something. It is off I 70 south of the airport. There were lots of old...

Broke the code, you sold 3 W M21's and bought a W M12 I. 28 ga. You drive hard bargains. :) Must be good, you sound happy.

That is funny.

I think a 42 and a 46 were the same body. My Dad had a 46 or 47 Ford. Neat old cars.

Good for you. Hope you keep the Shiney side up. When I was a wee lad Santa brought me a pair of skates that locked on your shoe soles. Man they were purty. We lived on a farm that had a gravel lane that was served by a gravel road. So I just looked at them and spun the wheels. I learned all...

I too was in the National Guard and transferred to the Army reserve. You are active while in training and you are activated for 2 week summer camp I was told. We might need an old reserve 1st Sgt to add to this. Black Agnes answered it. Thanks.

Some one may have said this, if the press doesn't know, assault rifle is used in ptint.

I use Leupold rings, I center the scope and use the back rings to center the cross hairs on either my bore site or a 25 yard mark. Don't know if it helps or not but I feel if needed I'll have all the windage adjustment needed. Never knew about the rings till now. I'll Lok into them nect time...

I like what you did for your gun. I too love M-12's. I sold my collection when I retired, except for 2. A nice ful choke one made before the war and a super nice 16 made in 41. I was at a very small gun show and traded a fella out of a factory FN in a beautiful Browning stock. He had a nice...

I think the 78 was before taxes. And the obligatory red cross donation bucket at the end of the pay line.

My only son went USMC and did desert storm. He came home from boot more respectful and mature. Your son will do well. Those boys are one family.....

Hang in there. Many of us understand the ageing thing.

More on pens and pocket watches I have 3 pocket watches, one of my daughters gave me one for Christmas 20 years ago. I have my paternal Grandfather's Waltham. I found one on a steep ridge in the Ozarks one deer season 30 years ago. It had laid face down for years. It had the fob on it. Later on...
