      White Rural Rage

      The left following on with more denunciations, we've been deplorables, bitter clingers, plague carriers, now we are the threat to democracy. Considering how few of us there actually are you would think we were some sort of X men with demonic super powers.;)

      The third Amendment

      With no end to the illegal immigration problem is sight, how long before the government starts pushing them on people or organizations that don't want them. While the origin of the third stems from the quartering of soldiers I'm wondering if it will be a defense against what is inevitably coming...

      Old S&W afternoon

      With the weather warming up I decided to get out and do some shooting, I had a box and a partial of 38 S&W loaded with BP to use up and took some of my old S&W top break pocket guns out for some exercise on the steel. A popular revolver, variations were made from the late 1870s to 1940 in both...

      Know your 44 Colt

      A cartridge with a long and flexible history, it begins in Colt Richards cartridge conversions like the old revolver in the top of the photo, using the cartridge on the left. It uses a heeled bullet to allow it to both fit in what was an 1860 sized cylinder, but sized at .454 to allow it to fit...

      Remington-Smoot

      Picked up a later model Remington-Smoot pocket revolver today, really just needed a good cleaning to get it shooting as the chambers were full of gunk preventing ammo from going in. Gun companies in the 19th century realized the value of personal sized guns and Sam Colt really gets things...

      How do you define MAGA?

      A Trump message? A desire for improvement of the country? Something people should be denounced for believing in like heretics?

      Hunting, up or down in Indiana?

      Got a letter from another land lease company. In the content I noted that there was reference made to the increasing demand for hunting ground every year. I don't know about other parts of the state, but I see fewer hunters every year for deer and other game in the fall. Spring seems less as...

      3K Magazines for old Colt

      Sometimes with old guns you will be looking at a good part of the overall price of a gun in the magazine alone, if you can find them at all. I've had mixed results with Triple K mags, some are garbage but some work well with a little help. Out of the box a generous application of Ballistol and...

      Rural Rage

      Saw this new term coming from big media talking heads, pointing out how it needed to be fought like domestic terrorism. While I live rural, I guess I'm not feeling the rage, but I don't like the idea of being classified as a potential terrorist. Leadership needs to be watching the border if it...

      USDA police?

      News this AM showed a raid and warrant service in Indy and supposedly Muncie. Talking heads were listing agencies involved which included the USDA and sure enough I saw some jackets with those letters on the back. What would they be doing in the city and when did they get enforcers? It's been a...

      Broomhandle test

      Put new springs in this 1930 Broomhandle a while back and just now got it out for a trial, works quite well with the cast lead ammo I've been working with in another gun. Going to have to modify the ammo as it's not working in the Mauser carbine or the CZ-52.

      Newsom vs DeSantis

      An odd political debate, I think Newsom is looking for that Kennedy vs Nixon moment.

      Rainy day with an SAA

      Rain kept me out of the deer stand this morning, but I got this SAA out to shoot up some 38-40 ammo I wasn't keeping as it did not work well in the Winchesters. It had already been refinished when I picked it up and had repro grips. I cleaned it up and added oversize stags and it's now one of...

      1927 Winchester SRC for deer season

      Took this 1927 vintage Winchester 1894 SRC out to hunt although I didn't see any more deer than I have with the Marlin. Chambered in 32 WS it certainly would have done fine in the woods. Vintage lever guns in 32WS can often be had for less money than calibers with more common ammo. Not hard to...

      Winchester fun

      Out shooting my old 1892 SRC in 44-40 at steel today, it just rings and rings. Made in 1905 it's been to South America and back and who knows where. Still chambers and accurately spits cast lead 200 grain Lee bullets on top of 8 grains of Unique powder. When you pull it out of the period Heiser...

      Loose arbor

      I picked up this nice Colt 1849 on the cheap because of a loose arbor. It had been repaired for this once before as the pin that holds the arbor in place had been replaced some time in the past with a larger one. I thought about drilling the hole bigger and using a larger pin, but decided to try...

      Hagstones

      The gardener found a hagstone today I told her it was her lucky day. Asked for an explanation I said that Celtic druids and the Norse considered them very magical and lucky finds. She wanted to know how I knew that and I told her those are my people, mixed with some Cherokee Indian. Actually I...

      32-20 combo

      Ran off some 32-20 ammo today and decided to give it a test this afternoon. A period combo of a Winchester 1892 SRC from 1912 and a Colt Army Special from 1926. A good time was had shooting steel at the 85 yard plate with the cast bullet load. A tip from experience if you load for the old...
