    New Arkansas Reg: “Alternative weapons”

    I made the trip across the bridge to West Helena Walmart right after I read this thread to get caps before they quit selling them. TOO LATE!!! The lady in sporting goods said, “I put all that muzzleloading stuff in clearance last week and it is probably all gone by now “. It was. Just a wasted...

    John Derrick Contemporary Rifle

    John Derrick knew beauty, he married Ursula Andress, Linda Evan’s, and Bo Derek, wait. . . that’s John Derek, not Derrick. Any way that is one incredibly beautiful rifle, just like all of your pieces that you post pictures of. Thank you for making us all really jealous.

    Caddyshack III: Judgement Day

    I used to live 7 miles behind Alligator, Ms. at the end of a dead end gravel road. We had rats as big as small dogs burrowing under our pump house and out buildings. We stomped closed all the openings except one at each building and then stuck a piece of flexible exhaust pipe onto my truck...

    Scrimshaw moose antler

    Make sure of the laws. I bought a book I believe by a Lesley Lindsey years ago when I thought that I could learn to scrimshaw. The book said to use ivory piano keys and showed them made into jewelry. Fast forward quite a few years I find an old piano on the side of the road that had fallen off...

    New Arkansas Reg: “Alternative weapons”

    When Mississippi started allowing scoped single shot rifles (mostly 35 Whelen and 45-70) the pawn shops took in so many muzzleloaders and weren’t able to get rid of them that they won’t even look at one now. I used to pick them up really cheap but now they are not even in the shops anymore. I...

    Be advised....

    Here when you ask about something not on the shelves they either say “Nnaawww” or “if you don’t see it we ain’t got it”

    Ice Box

    When I went to work at the gas company I took a course called “Fundamentals of Natural Gas “. We learned that some French guy invented a compressorless natural gas/ammonia refrigerator system in the mid 1800’s. In the classroom they had a circa early 1900’s NG refrigerator that had never missed...

    Love my black powder

    Welcome from the Mississippi Delta. In 1968-69 I lived in Amelia. Looked forward to the Blessing of the Fleet party. Looking at Google maps it looks like Amelia has changed quite a bit.

    Two More Movies

    Back in VHS days my wife bought Follow the River in the bargain bin and we liked it, I don’t remember anything about it though, but then again I don’t remember what I had for supper last night either.

    Pietta Spiller & Burr Revolver

    This is about the forcing cone not the modern pistol it was on. A friend of mine’s dad was a gunsmith and since I was older than his son he shot and hunted with me a good bit. He got in 2 Spanish made .22 pistols that were identical except one had white grips and no forcing cone and the other...

    Grandpa stories

    I grew up in the house with my paternal grandparents and my mother and father. I was very close to Grandad. I’ve got a million stories about him. I had his Parker hammerless 16 gauge but got screwed out of it. I still have an 1873 trapdoor Springfield that he gave me with a story. He owned a...

    Homemade cleaning Patches

    During the confusion of COVID Walmart had a Black Friday kind of thing going where they would just put huge boxes of stuff in the aisles with low prices on them for a week or so during the thanksgiving week. They had 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheet sets for $25 a set (all sizes) so I...
