I am 63 now, and have not shot a rifle much in the past 30 years. But, I have been gearing up for an Elk hunt here in New Mexico for some time now (getting divorced freed me up so much!). I have a 7mm Rem. with a scope, but I recently acquired an 1886 Winchester Deluxe in 33 WCF. Just a...

A buddy and I both won the draw for licenses to hunt a Bull Elk this season. I can hardly wait! The area where we will be hunting is near Cuba, New Mexico... woodland interspersed with occasional meadows. I recently bought an 1886 Model Winchester in 33 WCF... a 1906 made takedown deluxe, and...

I recently saw a truck in Los Lunas (NM) that had the back emblazoned wiith anti Jane Fonda graffiti. Is this still hanging on? Personally, I am a fan of hers. She made a stupid act in her teens that she immediately regretted... which one of us has not done that? Your thoughts...

More... I lost my head! The 32 H&R that I have on the shelf is not mine! It is hers... the ex. In my defence, she had a pair of Rugers, with a nice holster setup when I met her. I bought her a pair of 45 colt "sherriff" models, with the short barrel, and added custom grips... 45's. But, she is...

You are nuts! I always buy ammo for any recent purchase. I have on the shelf: 32 S&W, 22, 22 Magnum, 38 special, 7mm Rem, 25-06, 223, 45-70 Govt., 45 auto (of course), 25 auto, 32 auto, 38-55 Winchester, 30-30, 32 H&R., and 45 colt.. let me think... is that all? Only a fool would buy ammo...

I am always interested in history and have read several recent works on Pancho Villa. I am curious what modern thinkers feel about him... what are your thoughts?

In favor of Paypal I guess I am in a small minority. I am, I guess what you would call a 'liberal'. But, I use Paypal! I have used it for perhaps 8 years now, and love it. I have a Paypal debit card, and spend perhaps $2,000 a month with it. I also collect firearms. Recently bought: a...

Am I wrong? I have been buying vintage Winchesters for a while now, and I am saddened by all the 'restored' rifles (and pistols) out there. It seems to me that doing a 'restoration' on a rifle pretty much destroys it. I recently bought an original, 90% 1886 Winchester... and while perusing the...

On the early nickel finish SAA's (1st generation), were the screws in the frame and the trigger nickel as well? I have seen some blue screws and trigger and wondered if it was a refinish, or original. Thanks, Lee

A Winchester 1886 Deluxe 45-70 in 95%. Set me back a bit, but the price was right!

I have a true gem of a rifle... an 1886 Winchester Deluxe. I am feeling it is time to sell it, but for a rifle of this quality, I am unsure how to proceed. The rifle is what I would conservatively rate as 90%, probably closer to 95. Caliber is 45-70, octagonal barrel with 98% original blue, bore...

you misunderstand I don't want serial number info... I have plenty of that. What I would like to find out is the value of a 1936 or 1939 94 in the various grades. Does it equate to the values of a 1929? Or is it closer to a 1940? The Blue Book has a void from 1930 to 1939 where it lists no 94's...

I am looking at a Winchester 94, manufactured in 1939, but can't find any data on it in the Blue Book. What am I missing? The listings go to the "early 30's", then end till 1940. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks, Lee Davis

Yes Well, yes... I have these pistols in my mind and in my heart. My father was flying over the coral sea when an engine went out on the Dakota he was in... everything overboard! He was the paymaster for the service squadron he was in... so he was issued a .45, in a box, and carried it when he...

a bit more... I am one sorry baster... well, you know. I thought I was taking the tuna boat to fishtown, but ended up on the reef with just my dinghy. She wanted it "doggy style"... where I would sit up and beg, while she rolled over and played dead. It didn't work at all. I guess what I need...

I underdo... I am packing a 50 caliber, but claim that it is "small, but friendly as hell!". That suits me well...

I have finally acquired the three pistols that I wanted. And this is after two divorces that forced me to sell everything I ever had before. (but, I am not a whiner, and I am sure that many of you understand). The 1911 is a commercial 1914 Colt. in 98%. The 1903 .32 is 95%+ (from 1924), and the...
