    A visit with The Major

    I stopped in for a visit with the major for a couple of hours on Thursday. Had a great time and he showed me all of his newest equipment.

    Thx, I wasn't sure if he did refurbs or not. I guess I remember Mike doing one for IC some time back.

    Royal Stetson 7 3/8 for trade or sale

    Still available. A couple of people expressed interest but then never sent pics of the hats they wanted to trade. If no interest by the end of e the week I will put it on ebay. I know about what they have been getting on ebay and with the sweat being in less than pristine shape I would be...

    Search through hat boxes- See what I found

    For many years I wore a couple of my grandfather's old hats. They were among my first fedoras 25 years ago. I had gotten all of the hats long ago, but not all of the hat boxes. Some of those I kept at my parents home. This weekend I went over as I do regularly to grab some gear from the...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Gene just knows how to wear a hat. I don't know if I have ever seen a hat you don't look good in Gene. So many of you all look so natural in a hat. Much more so than I do. People just kind of expect to see me in a hat because I have always worn one. If I don't have one on, I am always...

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    Understood. I appreciate your sentiment. This is MK's place and the mods he sees fit to manage it. I try to respect their boundaries and limit myself to areas of my interest. In areas of the lounge it seems some always want to test those bounds or cause rifts because they think they were...

    Well don't allow him to run you out of here Atticus. You have been a member here going wayyy back. This thread was all in good fun. There are many many threads and rooms here which set people apart from one another, which include one group of interests that others take no part in. It is...

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    I like shoulder holsters OK. I consider them more comfortable than on the side. I have bought several shoulder rigs over the years but never end up using them and probably wouldn't. They are not always practical, making them useless for the most part to me. I always wear my guns in the...

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    So you just want to keep it stock? Or you just haven't gotten around to changing the sights yet?

    I'd agree. If you are interested in seeing criminals get 'what they deserve' you would not like working for a criminal attorney. Their job is seeing their clients (criminals if indeed they are guilty) get the lightest possible sentence. you ned to work for a prosecutor, ie government agency...

    Yes you are correct as well. He used a number of different rifles during his time in Africa. by the end of his career he had become convinced most hunters should use at least a .30 of some sort on dangerous game. Most of Africa apparently agreed as 375 H&H Mag is now the minimum on dangerous...

    It is indeed spectacular. I love double rifles and drillings. A beautiful piece.

    You can kill anything with I guess just about any caliber. However, it was later confirmed most elephants shot with small calibers, say such as a 22 died days or weeks later from blood poisoning and internal bleeding. I do not call that a kill myself. Bell killed with a smaller caliber, but...

    He and his stories have unfortunately been the end of a lot of hunters. They read of this hunter taking elephants with essentially a 270. He may have, but he was an exceptional shot in the worst possible scenarios. He was extra ordinary, meaning most even active hunters fell far below his...

    Royal Stetson 7 3/8 for trade or sale

    Me too. I think Viper meant to put this in a pm because he sent me a pm saying he might be interested then decided to simply replace the ribbon on his hat. Mine is still available, no deal has been finalized. If you are interested let me know.
