    WWII Photos - Taken / Collected by Family Members

    Widebrim, You are right. That photo really struck a cord with me also from a technical standpoint and for the content. It really does tell a story - I just wish I would have found it before my dad passed away. Thanks, Jay

    WWII Photos - Taken / Collected by Family Members

    My father, probably 1938-1941 A couple of months ago I found two photo albums filled with photos of my dad during the war that I had never seen before. He passed away 7-years ago so virtually all of the history is lost forever. I really wish I would have had an opportunity for...

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    You probably already know this but Leckie is one of the Marines the series focuses on. One of the other's (sorry I can't remember which one) was also a writers who wrote what many considere to be the definitive piece on battles in the PTO. Spielberg/Hanks had the benefit of having a lot of well...

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    I think it is important to keep in mind that the Pacific is not a documentary but the story of three Marines and their individual stories before, during and after WWII, focusing on their battle experience in the Pacific theater of war. My question really related to the quality of the...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    It always amazes me how little justice photos do to Art's hats made of his dark moss felt. In person the color is MUCH deeper and richer than comes across in virtually every picture I have seen posted. I have had one for 6-7 months and it's pretty much my go-to hat. Works well with a brown...

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    One week to the first episode of "The Pacific" oh HBO and after watching the trailers, the "Making of" and the other teasers on HBO I am trying hard not to compare it to Band of Brothers. Just wondering if people believe it will be as good as was Band of Brothers.

    I have never owned an Ithaca but I own a few Parkers and LC Smiths. Buggered screws are usually easy to fix by either replacing them or having the slots widened. Pretty simple, pretty easy. Lose forends and the wiggle you describe sound a little more sinister. I don't think shooting heavy...

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    Looking for needles in a haystack, but thought I'd ask anyway. I am looking for 3-pairs of cuff-links that are Oxbow's (The yoke used to harness oxen to wagons). Suggestions? Suggestions where to look for such specific items or where to order custom links? Thanks.

    The Wolfman Remade

    For those of you who have seen it: my 16-year old daughter really wants to go to the movie. I am not overly concerned about the blood and stuff but I hear there is a little sexual activity in the movie - is there and is it explicit? Thanks

    Ah, we seem to be getting to the good-stuff. Truly "vintage" rifles.

    Your Gibbs is a beautiful old rifle and you are tight about the patina. Do you shoot it and/or hunt with it?

    Akubra Campdraft

    I bought my Fawn Camp Draft last spring and have decided it just does not suit me. The liner is gone bot other than that it is good as new. Size 60. If you are interested in it, please PM me. Thanks, Doublegun

    Rumblefish, That 52 is spectacular. I love the double-set trigger. DG

    Thanks, Rumblefish. G&H made their rifles to be used and I'll put mine to work this fall (although weather conditions will be determinative). In spite of the big glass I have on my LMT, I usually opt for simple low power scopes on most of my rifles. My go-to deer rifle is a M70 with a Leupold...

    And something a little more befitting the FL. This is an early Griffin & Howe custom rifle built on a Springfield action and chambered in 7mm Mauser. The Lyman 48 peep sight is remarkably accurate even with my aging eyes:

    Well, since the door has been opened to high-tech.... Not set up for personal or home defense. This rig is for 4-legged varmits at 400-500 yards. LMT AR 15 with Leupold 6x-20x AO scope.

    Custom Hide briefcases

    I have had my 1945 for approx 8-months and it looks pretty much identical to the tan one in the fist photo. I'll try to post some pictures next week (when I get back into my office). BTW - no complaints about my bag. The more I use it, the better it looks (but I think that can be said of...

    Good quality optics, like made by Turjicon are going to start at around $800 and go up to $1,500. However, just about every optics manufacturer has some sort of holographic or red-dot type site. Price ranges from $350ish - $500ish. By comparison, basic flip-up battle sights (peep and front...
