    Ukraine Possible Resolution

    There are already news sources reporting military age men in Russia are leaving the country to avoid possible service in the military. There are Russians and Ukrainians crossing the southern US border into the US seeking asylum. Leaf droplets in Vietnam were during a different time and...

    Ukraine Possible Resolution

    Old-fashioned WWII leaflet drop. Submit leaflet to Ukrainians, cross into Europe, get citizenship in Europe or US. I suspect a large number would elect to stay in Europe where they may feel more "connected".

    Ukraine Possible Resolution

    If I am in violation of any rule delete this post. I have thought this might be a resolution to the Ukraine conflict. What if the United States and the European Nations offered citizenship and $20,000 to any Russian or Russian Satellite soldier, sailor, marine, or airmen who is involved in the...

    New Frontier holster

    Hi, I am fortunate to own and shoot all Uberti Smith and Wesson reproduction Top-Break, Model No. 3, large bore revolvers. Therefore I am always looking for leather for them. "Old West" leather. What follows is lengthy. I am not a leather expert, I have learned the following by being cheap...

    Rich Man-Poor Man

    The best fishing I ever did was as a kid on a small creek in South Texas with a used/battered 12 foot johnboat, home-made trotlines, bricks/rocks/pipe for weights, and seined bait. Oh, the paddles were 1x6's crudely cut into paddle shape because my Dad and I couldn't afford real paddles.

    Model 28-2

    You cannot buy any modern made .357 double action revolver that will made well and as "quality" as that M28-2 for the price you have mentioned. You could possibly find one cheaper but how soon? If you're young enough, and live in an area where many possibilities exist you can be patient. If...

    2 1905's oddities?

    Thank you Goring's S&W. LionWeight, please take the time to check the serial numbers of your early S&Ws against the serial number of when S&W began heat-treating the cylinders. If yours fall below that number they are supposedly only safe with lower powered loads and nothing more. My 1919 M1905...

    2 1905's oddities?

    If I may add. I am not as experienced as some here but I have been lucky. I own a M1905 4th Change with a 5 inch barrel that has no trademark and (from memory) no "Made In USA" either. Research on this forum indicated that during WWI the U.S. government "took over" the S&W factory and oversaw...

    Skeeter's influence....

    I met his 20 something Grandson on a movie set a couple of years back. I heard him say his name was "Skelton" and I knew the crew on the set had Deming natives in it. So I walked up to him and said, kinda serious, "Are you Skeeter Skelton's Grandson?" He said yes. Then I said, "You're...

    Nickel Cleaning ??

    I have posted before on cleaning nickel handguns because I have owned a few. I always suggested to stay away from Hoppe's #9 because it would remove nickel plating. But k22fan has answered a question that has recently come into my mind. Evidently Hoppe's #9 no longer has the products in it that...

    Tactical Burn-Out

    Seriously (I occasionally can manage that) I am a firm believer that Hollywood and TV are the most powerful conduit that feeds the gun buying public. The anti-gun politicians run a close second. I have read that Colt was going to deep-six the SAA but too many people were watching too many...

    What makes for a good cow gun'

    If my memory is correct, there was an article in Guns and Ammo, about 1990 whereby they were hunting "wild cattle" (longhorns maybe) in the riverine "jungles" that run along the Rio Grande in Texas. It might have been Finn Aargard who wrote the story. I too have read whereby the main reason for...
