The new Grand Cherokee's are unit body construction. They are not body on frame trucks. You will not be able to make any mods cheaply on them ….if at all. And if you bend the truck off roading, I don't know if you can fix it because it's basically one big welded piece. It makes a great car though. :D

The one I usually go to has been pretty bare lately.....I actually thought they were going to close it down or something. They only keep about half of the guns they used to and I don't think they will buy or trade anymore.

I've hit ground squirrls with .22 short hp and blew chunks out and still had to hit them again. Man can those things tear things up fast!

Suffered the last six hours without power. Just came back up. We had a 1/2 inch of ice and supposed to add another inch, so I hope to keep power for a while more. TG for generators.

Seems expensive. I can get Remington and Winchester here for $15 a box at almost any store in town. Might be worth it if it's very accurate.

.22, .357, and 45-70. That's a really versatile outfit. Add a 30-30, and you have everything from bunnies to polar bears covered. And with just four rounds. That can't be, cuz I've got way more than four different calibers, and I don't have it all covered yet :D Kinda like golf clubs.....only fun.....

Pretty guns with VERY HANSOME price tags!

Wow! That looks great! I take it that this is not your first repair?

Modern springs get weak from use. It is called work hardening. A compressed spring is not in use. It is the act of compressing and releasing that wears them out. Just my comments, others mileage may vary. This is what the rule I've always followed. The constant use of load/unload wears the spring o...

If no family comes forward to claim them then thoses that are not "lost" at the PD will turned to slag.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it a lot! It's been in the family awhile. No one can tell me how it came about or how long it's been. Just wanted to know a little more about it. Kinda cool that could have been used the war between the states!

I have model 1860 colt army in .44 with serial number 78xx. Can any one name a good reference where I can look up what year it might be made in?

Thanks for the help,

Nice, looks like your managing your wildlife well! Not to turn this in to an AG how to but have you been able to propagate the Persimmon’s? I have a tree that fruits well but I can not get any of the seeds to grow. The tree is very old, looks like the original tree died and this came up from a root....

I've never made a knife on my bucket list. But story goes my great grandfather used to have an old portable saw mill. When it quit running he made knives out of the huge saw blades and sold them. My father still has one, and is sure to tell the story every time he see's it.

Lucky dawg with a nice rifle!

I bought this one for $400 a few months a go. It's a war years one, assuming it was one of the last off the line before the change over. It's .32 Winspcl. Ammo cost at least double that of the 30-30, I think that is what keep the price down on the rifles some. But from what I gather it's one of the ...

Love that tiger stripe! Nice looking rifle.

How many of you insure your gun collection? How do you determine value and what is a fair value to insure them for without going broke?

it's on page 62.

O.S.O.K. wrote:I liked the movie. It was really well done. Acting was great. I'm not going to pick on the condition of the guns - at least they were proper for the time period and such. That's about a 100% score for hollywierd.

I agree. I like it alot. Will see it a another time when on the dollar theater.

Just send them a copy of the thread!
It won't do any good cause Winchester and Olin are owned by those Your-a-peons now!

I've been recommended a good smith. He wants $110 to clean it up and tell me if it is a safe gun. Does that sound reasonable or should I break out the CLP and do it myself??

That trail judge is pretty. But for a regular length rifle I perfer a pump.

They are selling for about a grand at Gandar Mountain here in Indiana. They are nice rifles but for $500 less I'd rather just get the model 92 from Rossi or $700 less buy a good used one from a gun shop.

Does papering add value to the rifle?
What is the best way to clean it up some?

PM sent.

What is papered by Cody?

What is the best way to clean these old rifles up? It's got a hundred years of gunk on it. I was thinking of spraying it down in Kroil or liquid wrench letting it sit a day or two and hitting it very lightly with some 0000 steel wool. That's my standard procedure for older military surplus with rust...

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I'm new and getting in to the Winchesters. So here was the deal, I traded the bubba SKS, a new in the box AMD-65 and $200 bucks for the 1965 Model 94 (30WCF) and 1873 Winchester. The model 1873 was made in 1893. So far as I tell the rear sight is broken but otherwise all orginal wood and everything ...
