A plinker? Hardly, sir. The ultimate cartridge, the entry level dangerous game rifle. And CZ is a reliable and time-honored maker. You have a good eye.- Oldsarge

Mmmm, Andrea. You know, I might just be interested in adopting an older child. ;) -
NY Times article on city's hat shops and one on JJ Hats......
Okay, that does it. The founding Arth store is in Costa Mesa, just down the freeway from me. Saturday I will pay them a visit and give my after-action report. I may even break down and buy a hat . . . :eek: -
Portable hathook
And a 'stylish' walking stick with a solid brass knob can make a burglar wish he'd gone into some other line of work! Anyway, I like the idea of the shop-made, personal hat hook. I need one and my hatophile nephew has a birthday coming up . . . -
Brim Cutters {Home made}
Hmmm, makes sense to me. Now I don't have any hats I want to cut down but should the day come when I do, I'll be back to looking at this thread again. -

Check out this E Bay Sale
Upland, California. I know that town. It's got the most gorgeous collection of early twentieth century bungalows. You might even find a place like the Lounge there, though it is a might warm for Golden Age dress in the summer. -
Brim Cutters {Home made}
I really think a video showing your tool and the technique for using it would be a genuine benefit to the hat wearers of the world. Brilliant! -
Dobb's Gamebird Liner
Now that is a prize! If you find a proper liner you will be duty bound to send it to Al Fawcett for a complete overhaul. Well done, that man! -
Gin Lovers Unite!
I drink very little in the way of hard liquor, sticking mostly to beer and red wine. However, there are times . . . I remember coming off safari for the first time. The wife and I had an agreement. My vacation would be eleven days on safari and hers would begin on the night train from...- Oldsarge

Sears might be going belly up
I refuse to walk in the door of Wal-Mart. I did just once and never saw so much sub-standard crap in my life. However, I must admit that I only go into Sears when I need new underwear. I buy tools from tool specialists, clothing either off the internet or from more upscale sources and since...- Oldsarge

I'll see what I can do tomorrow. However, my Big Killer is boxed up to go to AHR for a new stock so who knows when it will show up.- Oldsarge

You are correct in that a hunt in Africa can be less expensive than either a Grizzly or Dall sheep hunt in Alaska. And while the license alone for elephant is in the neighborhood of $10K with the safari running $21K on top of that, Cape buffalo hunts are not beyond the reach of a working man...- Oldsarge

Safari Express rifle pic thread
The proposal that the most the average shooter can handle comfortably and accurately is a .375 is spot on. Having gotten used to the larger beasts, I find it a positive joy to shot. Heck, I can run out a magazine wearing nothing but a T-shirt and dungarees . . . but I sure don't do it off the...- Oldsarge

Safari Express rifle pic thread
Hard as this may to believe, the 45/70 to .450 NE conversion is fairly common and quite popular. I would ask McKool's Gunsmithing about durability but they are a very professional lot and if it was a bad idea, they wouldn't do it. And many Pedersoli falling blocks go to Africa and do very...- Oldsarge

Don't complain. Colorado is a lot closer to Texas than California. It would take two days to drive to Dallas. -

A custom rifle maker with a modest command of Latin? Singular. I would certainly be interested in anyone else's discoveries of the man's creations but I would bet a twenty that he was a very particular hobbiest . . . with talent!- Oldsarge
