  1. We have a winter storm going on. 5 degrees and falling, winds since this morning to 45mph and some snow. Very little visibility. Wind chill close to minus 30 tonight.

    Does your 44mag " Alaskan " model , load like a shot gun into  a feeder tube or does it use a clip , which I believe the older  style is called the 99-44 Deerfield Carbine --- both models pic'ed

    A .44 Magnum Alaskan is a revolver that has a short barrel.

  3. Here in Minnesota our POS governor got caught slipping a million dollars into the budget bill for more gun control measures. Our Senate Republicans found it and are refusing to let it pass. It's only just beginning.......😠

  4. I wish I could still drink beer. Found out many years ago it makes my hay fever go wild. Took several thousand bottles before I figured it out. I can get away with one occasionally, especially in winter. So I switched to whisky. Now years later I have discovered Pendleton Whisky. Excellent stuff.

  5. Well I took my Rubicon icefishing today. 9" thick so plenty of ice. Sure beats dragging a sled by hand. Snowstorm on the way tonight so put the plow back on. For you guys down south, the picture is a sleeper fish house we stayed in a couple years ago on Lake of the Woods 8 miles off shore.

  6. I didn't think I wanted or needed EPS until I tried it. My opinion is there is no comparison. I get on a machine without it and know why I switched immediately. Takes out any kickback from rough terrain. My arms and joints don't hurt after riding anymore. Easier to maneuver in mud and ruts.

  7. I've been able to get 9mm still fairly often at our local Fleet store. They have had CCI Blazer, Federal and Browning - all 14.99/box 50. When they have had 100 rd boxes it's been around $38. They limit you to 2 boxes so everyone can get some. They are only 1 1/2 miles from my house so pretty easy to add to the stockpile.

    Two of my buddies hunt till dark , Kim owns the land adjacent to my neighborhood  , it was too wet for him and he came back early soaked , Bill stood till 30 minutes pass sunset and could have shot a hog but waited and it didn't  developed >>>>>  Kim shoots and unusual gun , Model 721  , it was a military 30-60 sniper rifle , it had a scope on it that  went the length of the barrel , he took it off , had some work done to accept a modern scope and re-scoped it , he bought it from a guy that shot competition long range with it , it has a trigger job done to it and it is smooth as can be as I shot it this evening  , if nothing else it looks cool

    I hunt with a Remington model 722 made around 1954. .257 Roberts. I believe the 721 was the long action and the 722 was short action. Both are precursors to the 700. Mine is very accurate and has a great trigger.

  9. Firearms guys!!! Talk about firearms😆.

    I've been able to buy .22 and 9mm at my local Fleet store. Not every day but just about every week. I had a good supply but I'm padding it some more. And they're not raping us either, charging the same as before. The other !!!!  in town tripled his price and only idiots are buying from him.
