1920s Tweed Shooting Day
LOL. The state doesn't hate the kind of gun I like, they just sort of ignore them. My local law enforcement (LA Co sheriffs) isn't even against them. It's just the kind of 'Barbies for Boys' they wish didn't exist! Anyway, just as soon as i can afford a case of 2 1/2" #71/2's, I may just do...- Oldsarge

1920s Tweed Shooting Day
Philadelphia? Blast! Clear across the country from me. If I thought there was a chance of anyone else showing up, I'd schedule one out here on the Left Coast. I've got the coat, the cap and the Jeffrey SLE. All I need is company!- Oldsarge

Show us your Guns!
You can form 32 Remington out of 30/30 Winchester cases, if I recall correctly. It's easy to do, once you have a reloading press.- Oldsarge

Show us your Guns!
Howard, I'm not a fan of decorative grips and much prefer fancy grain walnut but in the case of the two sets shown above, I definitely prefer option 'B'. The fore-and-aft lines will accentuate the positive nature of the M1911 and make it even more assertive looking. Option 'A' is just . . ...- Oldsarge

Report from the mountains
And so I return form my first elk trip meatless but vastly amused. It was another scintillating hour of the "Jim and Walter in The Woods" comedy hour in which we did everything right but still got it wrong. Who else would complain that after intense scouting, game location and perfect ambush...- Oldsarge

Norfolk Jacket
And quite a good article it is. I have long held a passion for the half Norfolk and will eventually have Mearsbespoke make one up for me. It has all the advantages of the full Norfolk without that tedious belt. Belts on jackets are a nuisance, IMO, whether Norfolk or safari. Probably not... -
What's for Dinner?
I guess tonight will be Cajun fried rabbit (marinated for an hour in Tabasco) with cream/tomato reductions sauce over rice and carrots flambe'. Not to difficult and fairly quick to make without heating up the kitchen too much. It's 94F outside . . .- Oldsarge

What Did You Drink Last Night?
The stouts of Portland, Oregon are really remarkable. I had two with lunch (bratwurst mit saurkraut) and an oatmeal stout with dinner (pork schnitzel). If this is what traveling on business is like, I'm on it!- Oldsarge

Duluth Trading Co - AWOL Bag
I carried my father's old WWII canvas and leather AWOL for years until it finally died. I really ought to get one of Duluth's, just 'cause. Besides, I may find myself traveling for business more often and that looks to be a lot more practical than my stupid 'carryon' rollaboard that I can't...- Oldsarge

Once I get the bolt magnafluxed to be sure it has not hidden cracks, my g'father's old Krag will (hopefully!) end up looking like the one on the right. I already have the proper peep sight.- Oldsarge

Field Chow Can
M151? Gawd, that brings back memories. They were a lot easier to drive than the drattted HUMVEEs though I have to admit they wouldn't carry as much. Once upon a time a captain and I were running around Ft. Irwin. I had him totally baffled because I was navigating with nothing but a topo map...- Oldsarge

Field Chow Can
I remember a mermite can or two a long while back. They were replaced by T-rations for HQ field kitchens. I'm not sure just how T-rats work, whether they're microwaved or heated in some other fashion but I do remember being pleasantly surprised by how good they tasted. Army chow by then was...- Oldsarge

Safari Express rifle pic thread
Indeed they may have, but not in that model. And I'm not sure just how many Schillings there were in the gun business post WWI. I'll ask when I see him in Portland. 'Chris' may have been another relative.- Oldsarge

Ideas please about 20/30's bush clothing
I'm not sure how many Americans socioeconomically below TR ever got to Africa during that time period but anyone who might have would certainly have been carrying a sporterized '03. With careful shooting and military hardball ammunition, it would even take elephant. God forbid you should ever...- Oldsarge

Ideas please about 20/30's bush clothing
Old black and white movies from the period are your best source. King Solomon's Mines is, of course, the classic or King Kong. If you can find a copy of Safari Style, (Burns and Beddow), the first chapter has some good vintage photos. There is a SoCal publishing company called Safari Press...- Oldsarge

Bush Jackets
The temperature dropped slightly here but it's still too warm to try out the W&G Jack sold me. It fits and I'm looking forward to it but I fear it will be October at the earliest before I get a chance to wear it for more than a few minutes. Maybe when I go to Portland . . .- Oldsarge

1950's Hubley Atomic Disintegrator replica
As an L.A. area resident I can only salute your good sense. Hollywood is only a booming industry for actors and studio execs. For anyone else, it's a sweat shop.- Oldsarge
