    Did Remington steal Colt tech???

    okay. the colt "Root" pocket pistol came about around 1855. the only closed top BP pistol I'm aware of that Colt made. enter the 1858 Remington pocket pistol which looks eerily similar to Colt's 1855 "Root" pistol. so my question is......think they stole their tech/design? I could see Colt...

    Do you gut your deer?

    liver and heart are made into Pate which took me years to perfect. goes well with cheese and crackers. I pack in one cup anchor cups, vacu-seal, and freeze for later use. little cup and cracker was a test sample before packing. as it cools, the mixture firm's up. the whole mystery I had to...

    Do you gut your deer?

    Another .31

    this one landed yesterday. put some TOW SS nipples on her that didn't fit my other .31, but were proper for the Uberti. oddly enough, no short arbor and no timing issues. will completely disassemble this weekend and smooth hammer/trigger works.........although feels pretty good now. I must...
