Shaving, blood and white dress shirts
1. The best thing to take blood out of cloth is cold water. If the blood has dried, a little soap helps but never, ever use hot water, it cooks the blood into the cloth. 2. Consider investing in a styptic pencil or a small container of powder. Touch the shaving nick and the blood clots... -

Weekend "Safari"
Oh, those are fabulous. And if you get two, McCool Gunsmithing in Tulsa, OK has developed a bit of a cottage industry rechambering the 45/70's for 450 NE. Strangely, all reports are that it works like a charm. Then you would be forced to start saving for the Real Thing. They're a gas. Been...- Oldsarge

I think you need to have posted twenty-five times before you can add pictures. But keep clicking, they add up really fast and we'd love to see it.- Oldsarge

Not this year. I'm a regular at SCI but despise Las Vegas so I'll be waiting for it to return to Reno before I go back.- Oldsarge

The Powell from Matt Deckard Apparel
With free tasting, perhaps? ;) My tweed collection will be improved by then. It's already better than it was. -

Light, quick handling but chambered for a cartridge suitable for most of North American game (not to mention a lot of light African, as well) IMO, the Carcano is terribly underrated. A man could do far worse than to sporterize one. Change the safety an add a scope and (especially in the...- Oldsarge

Safari Boots
That sale is a good price! While I normally look askance at any safari boot but Russell PHII's, if one were to try a full vintage safari, a pair of Grenson's would be just the ticket. Of course, it would also require a black powder gauge rifle or two . . .- Oldsarge

Yup. Until you develop a side income to pay for that sort of thing she'll spend the rest of her life doing that. I ended up in the Army Reserve, possibly for that very reason. It was worth it. For twenty-nine years that check was my play money and now the retirement check is. Definitely...- Oldsarge

Stroller - Morning Dress only?
Being more than a touch clumsy I am very hesitant to buy antique or vintage in either furniture or clothing. I absolutely know that I will fall over and break it, spill something permanent on it or in some other way damage a fine thing that has managed to survive the slings and arrows of time... -

That's the exact model I had! I declare, whoever designed that stock must have done his apprentice at Purdey or H&H. It is so quick handling and smooth. The more I think about it the more I regret selling it. I hate when that happens . . .- Oldsarge

Safari Express rifle pic thread
I once had a M96 in 9.3x57 that I had rechambered for the 62mm. It had a laid back, round pistol grip and handled like a British double gun. Sweet? Man! And in so light a rifle it was a pocket rocket. I eventually sold it to a now-deceased friend who wanted an elk rifle. If I ever come...- Oldsarge

January 15 is National Hat Day?!?!
Well, pretty damned stupid of them, then. I had no idea that it was coming up but just by chance wore my Orvis Walking Out to run to the grocery and fly fishing store. No one noticed, AFAICT, but that's probably because I almost always have a hat on when I go out. -

Well, if you start with a M98 Mauser in 9.3x62 you will be well on the way. It is the smallest caliber allowed for dangerous game and though it is far from ideal, especially in case of a charge, it will do the job. You could get that as a 'starter' and carry it on safari for the next thirty...- Oldsarge

In search of a site once mentioned...
For some unknown reason I used to get their catalog. It's full of neat stuff I can't see any use for nor afford, but the stuff is super cool!- Oldsarge
