Famous Fedora Lovers
This is very true. I can't place a picture in my mind of Hank Jr. w/o a hat on. I see Hank fairly often and I think I remember only one occasion when he wasn't wearing a hat. Same can be said of half the male country music singers, Garth, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Trace Adkins. That is how I... -
The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
The Stratoliner may well be my favorite all time hat style. The brim width is perfect for me as a hat with my build. I do indeed love my Whippets, but they are not as easy to match with anything like the Strat. I like the narrower brim as compared to my Open Roads. I wear my strat or my Stet... -

Stetson Whippet for sale- Black; 2 Major Moore hats 7 1/4
Tough decision, but I have a few hats I am putting up for sale because they are simply too big for my head. First up the Stetson Whippet It is black and in excellent condition. There are no moth bites or any other maladies. There is a slight bit of wear on the leather band which holds...- warbird

Western, anyone?
This is my Stetson Boss of the Plains that I bought about 18-20 years ago. It is my go to western hat. Unless I am at a Cowboy Action shooting event I am almost always the only person in the room with such a styled hat among at ton of cattlemen creased hats. It definitely draws attention... -
At the Dog Track... The Whippets
I have a blue gray Whippet, which is my absolute favorite dress hat. It is in immaculate condition. After much deliberation I am about to put up on TFL or Ebay my black Whippet, because it is a 7 1/4 and simply too large for me. Padding behind the sweat doesn't make enough difference. I am... -
Happy Birthday Fellas.....
Happy Birthday to you Bolt. Thanks for the well wishes. I've been out of pocket for a while and haven't been on TFL. Hope to be on more now. I have also been going through my collection as the weather is cooler here now. I can't wear any of my 7 1/4 fedoras anymore at all. Not even when I... -
Who else collects the M1 Garand?
I have one I am going to sell. I have several others in various models and am a big fan of the M14. It is a US Springfield made in 1943. Has National Match sights and accompanying NM lever. I have no proof however that it is an NM. I rather doubt it is, in fact am pretty much sure it isn't...- warbird

Sorry for the delay in my response, I have been traveling. As DG said, the forend could be an issue to be dealt with. There is some play in Ithaca guns, though it shouldn't be that noticeable if you grab it and pull a bit. I've never shaken mine tremendously hard, so I don't know about that...- warbird

I own several of them and can try to answer your questions. If I can't I can probably get you in touch with the guy who wrote the book, literally :) , on Ithacas- warbird

Typical is 1/9. Some companies have a 1/8. The 1/7 is a higher end barrel, used by the top of the line AR Manufacturers. It allows for the shooting of a heavier projectile, 70+ grains. Several companies offer both a 1/9 barrel and a 1/7 barrel. For people who never shoot a heavier bullet it...- warbird

I used a set up with a very similar config this weekend. It wasn't an ACOG, but another similar Trij with an unmagnified reflex mounted at a 45 degree angle off to one side of the sight. It works very well. You simply turn the gun to a slight angle and look down that sight. It still allows...- warbird

You know, the more I participate in cover exercises, the less I am comfortable with them. :) Modern ammo can get through so many things you can almost never be comfortable in a house clearing or home defense situation hiding behind a corner, a refrigerator or most other things. Now that...- warbird

The biggest advantage to a holo reflex is it is non parallax which means even at an angle as long as you can see the sight picture, where it is aimed that is where the bullet is going. It is superior to any other type of sight in this respect in situations where you may have you gun at an angle...- warbird

I understand your point. However I will say this don't count out because of price the Aimpoint or a Holo Trij because it is less expensive. The nice feature about a holo is that it just a parallax sight, it has no magnification making them useful for CQB scenarios. Then you can add a 3x...- warbird

A decent holo sight w/o magnification is to me a great platform because it is far easier to acquire than the iron battle sights. My BUIS (iron sights) are in fact fixed front and rear. I co-opt one third meaning I can see my iron sights in the bottom third of the holo. If I use a magnified...- warbird

Yep you are right. I did not read carefully and just saw Nagant. Most folks only talk of the rifle rarely the pistol. I am just not a fan of Russian guns. Except for the AK47, which I may or may not own several, and the Dragunov which I used to own, I couldn't care less about their guns...- warbird

No they don't make it anymore. There are probably millions of them out there. Some of them are fairly accurate, if you get a good one. Russian snipers used them with success in WWII. Personally I detest them, but that's just me. They do have their fan base. The wood on them is as hard as...- warbird
