    Hank Pennington(Brown Bear)

    I can't say I knew the man by any other name than that of Brown Bear, but I can say his comments, due to his unique background and positive perspective on life and our sport, will make him very much missed.

    Blow out hole on percussion guns

    It is surprising to me how many folks think they know more about how a percussion system works than the people at Purdey in 1840 did. I think they knew what they were doing, even if we don't understand why. I totally defer to them and trust there was, at the time, a good reason for why they...

    1667 Flintlock?

    It's too bad these old guns can't talk. That one might have quite a story to tell.

    1667 Flintlock?

    The thing is, in 1916, an old beat up flintlock with no particular provenance or display of masterful artistry would not have been worth more than a couple bucks. The phrase "dime a dozen" comes to mind. Make up a story and say it was found in an old house belonging to some person of historic...

    1667 Flintlock?

    On the butt, in white paint is written 1916-6-7, and on the tag attached to the trigger guard also has 1916-6-? written on it. This is quite confusing given the 1667 written on the barrel scratch out the 19, and there is your 1667. Could this actually be a date of June 7, 1916? That seems...

    Gun show find

    Maybe the southpaws of the world get a break now and then. I don't think it would have lasted more than an instant, at that price, if it were for a right handed shooter. That is one good looking shootin' iron. Good on you, John U.

    New Missouri Ban on Use of Lead Shot

    Gold would probably work well, too. :D

    Coffee or Tea?

    I love that first cup of coffee in the morning, no matter where I'm at. Tea is only an occasional beverage choice for me. I thought we settled that issue back in 1773.

    Black powder vs Zombies

    Hmmm. King of the Zombies? https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001681/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm I didn't know that, googled it, and now I know.

    The solution to the problem of multiple zombies and one man with a musket: Same as it ever was.

    .32 PRB for Mountain Lion

    I think some people are caught up in the word "hunting", and the ramifications of that. In reality, the lion "hunter" is just there to kill the animal after the real hunters, the dogs, have surrounded the lion and put it in a predicament from which it cannot escape, and you should have time to...

    Sheet metal smoking pipes

    I wonder if they weren't being made more because of shipping losses of clay pipes, rather than an actual demand for sheet metal pipes. I can imagine they lost a lot of clay pipes just during transit to traders on the frontier,. Hopefully anybody attempting to make one will know better than to...

    The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams

    They filmed some scenes near Payson, AZ, Mogollon Rim area. Some of the animals used in filming were later kept at a zoo, east of town, for a few years. I heard from some hatchery people that worked there at the time, they got live trout from them for for some live fishing scene(s). It must...

    Shotgun Restoration

    I have an similar derelict percussion double, and will be very interested in seeing how you proceed. On mine, someone tried to re-solder the rib and did a poor job of it, leaving lot of gaps and gunks. I'm sure the solder would be fairly easy to melt, but I wouldn't know how to go about...

    How Daniel Day-Lewis became Hawkeye.

    The movie was a work of art, the music, scenery, and the use of both in the story were absolutely fantastic.
