Took photos the other day, but not happy with them, will take more tonight. I have some others to photograph as well. It's a .35 Remington manufactured in '61 IIRC.

I just got a used Marlin 336 for $259. Needed a very thorough cleaning, but looks good now.

Do not use it! Give it to me and I will dispose of it for you.

I'll second that. Brass shipped Saturday, in my mailbox Tuesday.

The difference in production quality of the pre WWII rifles is amazing. I just recently bought a 1940 Tula round receiver, and everything is smooth finished. (The trigger pull is somewhere close to 50 pounds and the numbers don't match, though.) Compare that to my 1943 Izzy, which looks like the receiver was machined with an acetylene torch. Sorry for the hijack, good luck with the rifles.

Wideners has Yugo's for $300.

Nice doing business with ya Bill. The rifle and ammo are excellent.

Thanks for the LPK. Nice meeting you and talking with you. Thanks for the info and ideas for the new build.

Interested in the reloading equipment.

I'm going to this one. Leaving in about an hour.

I like the Magpul handguards, since they are not completely covered in tacticool rails. I also like the look of the collapsible stock, because it doesn't look like a collapsible stock. Nothing annoys me more than having an ugly stock that could collapse, but because of our geography, cannot. What looks good to each of us is, afterall, subjective.

Makes me wonder if there was a test flight of one of these that day.

How 'bout now?

Sorry I've been away, I've had some issues with the DSL. Nice dogs everyone, and a big +1 to everyone who rescued. It seems to me like the rescues are always the best dogs, appreciating being in a better situation. Ray Ray, keep in mind that without a dog you won't be able to detect terminators. Just sayin'.

Beautiful pups everyone.

Here she is upland hunting, but she was more interested in Squirells than birds. Oh well.

I don't recall seeing any threads devoted to our best friends. The ones that are our hunting buddies, the ones that ride shotgun in the car, sit at your feet in front of the fire, and are always there for you unconditionally. Here's my best friend, Tally. (I didn't name her.) I wasn't looking for a dog at the time, but she found me. She started out as my Mom's show dog, finishing her championship very quickly. She was carrying her first litter of puppies, and firmly attached herself to me. Whenever I was there, she was by my side. So, I made sure that I was there to help out when she whelped the pups. She was an excellent mother and gave her pups excellent care. She had two litters of 6 each, and at least 3 of her kids have gone on to become champions, too. When her daughter grew up and had her first litter, she and Tally began having issues, so Tally came to me. Gave her a bath yesterday and brushed out the dead winter hair. She was not happy, to say the least. But she's still looking good for an old lady of 12. Go ahead, post up pics of your pets.
