When I was younger I had a farm with three nice ponds on it. I often had people ask for permission to fish. I rarely turned anyone down. I liked to hunt pheasants in Western Kansas and appreciated getting permission to hunt from those farmers. However, I have run a few folks off. Once I took...

Beautiful rig and fantastic photography. Very nice job.

Old school. Proven to work for over a hundred years.

I often have young new shooters on my place to learn and shoot. I always give a talk about muzzle control and the basics. I also make it clear that if they can't get every bullet into the berm they weren't allowed to shoot. it drives me crazy at gun shows the careless muzzle sweeping by people...

I number each gun the day I bring it home. I then record all the information on a large recipe card. Cost, serial, purchase price, condition, where and when I bought it, any special value issues and production date. I then make up two hang tags for the gun and the case. I keep the cards in...

I really don't have a collection, but I have afew Case Muskrats. I lost minein 1973and replaced it for $35.00. I have carried it since I thought maybe I should buy a replacement, so I found a new 1973 identical to mine at Tulsa for $150.00. I put it away in my safe. A very good friend knowing...

I am a .22 fan and have many nice and scarce Winchesters. I have never had a 52 in any variation, I have most of their other target models though. 57 Target, 60A Target, 47 Target, 69 Target, Match, Junior Target Shooters Special. 75 Target and many matching Sporter models. I offer no excuse for...

The ones that started the shorter barrel shotguns, Model 12 Winchesters. My military Bubba gun and a cut down. Both 20", One 103 years old and the other about 80.

When my son was a teenager he got to go to Oshkosh twice. The Combat Air Museum here in Topeka would take their C-47 "Kilroy" to the show every year. Several people would go and share the fuel cost. He would take his pup tent and just set it up on the grounds. On one trip the pilot let him take...

The percentage of Glyphosate in Round Up is 41%. You can buy generics with the same 41% at farm stores like Tractor supply for a lot less. One quart of concentrate will make 25 gallons of spray. I use it to spray my gravel drive and to edge around barns, sheds, and fence rows. When I'm done...

My S&W .22s, Combat Masterpiece, 18-2, 18-3, Target Masterpiece, a 34-1 and a 63.

I gave away my push mower several years ago. I have a couple John Deere riders and if things get tough I use my 8N Ford and six foot finish mower.

My Dad also took his boot camp at Cour D" Alene, Idaho. I remember riding the train out and back to see him when I was five years old. We ate cold fried chicken at the base. The train was pretty much filled with sailors on the way home. He was a Gunners Mate stationed in Hawaii.

I had bladder cancer when I was 64. I went through the cystopystys and removal of the cancer spots. I then did the six week BCG treatments. They had me lay down for an hour, moving a quarter turn every fifteen minutes. It was fairly uncomfortable for the next few hours. It burned to urinate and...

I like the sound of a well tuned V8 or a nice Harley. Crotch rockets and wanna be 4 cylinders, not so much. Years ago I had a 1/2 ton Ford pickup with dual straights. It sounded good, but you could make it sound nasty. My cousin and her husband were visiting from California and he remarked...

I am amazed at the price they bring now. I did give $300.00 for my `950 Russian Tula a few years ago and $90.00 for the Yugo. Shoulda, couda, wouda.. I gave the Yugo to my grandson, I still have the Tula.

I am a .22 addict. I have no illusion that I could pick the very best .22. However, this J.M.B. designed model 1890 chambered in .22 Long Rifle makes me smile every time I pick it up.

My first .22was a old Stevens Favorite. It was severely used and abused and had gone through a flood. I was thrilled to have that, but I had two seriouswants. I wanted a Winchester slide action pump with a hammer and a 1947 Ford coupe. In my old age I have scratched the Winchester itch, but have...

Once on vacation I stopped at a gun shop. I spotted a Winchester on a rack accessible to customers. I asked if I could check it out. I got permission and opened the action. Like the OPs case it had a round chambered and a full magazine. I asked the owner if he knew this rifle was loaded? I...

I like the way Hogue's fit my big hands. Here is my model 65. There used to be an older lady that came to the Tulsa show that had tables full of most brand grips. You could pick your favorite grain and color.
