NoBodyImportant Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) The wife brought the corona home from her hospital so we are on a 14 day self quarantine. So far I have started cleared a patch of woods to build a pond but I cut two tires on my backhoe. So I switched gears and started cutting brush and hanging new steel targets at the range. Chainsaw broke the chain. My other chainsaw is at my other house down at the coast. I’m going crazy over here. My son and I cleaned out the shed and beat stuff up with bats and shot holes in stuff, that was entertaining for a day. The wife has a bunch of fruity drinks left over from a party. I think they are expired but that’s where we are today, drinking fruity beer. The range is looking good though Edited March 17, 2021 by NoBodyImportant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 The brothers that owned the farm closes to mine got it a fight. One of them threw gasoline on the porch and lit it on fire so that was entertaining for a while. 1 minute ago, NoBodyImportant said: The brothers that owned the farm closes to mine got it a fight.

You have all those firearms, more ammo than the British Army, and the land on which to use them!

WalkedUp Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 That looks a great lockdown in all honesty. Machines have broken; revert to plan A. Have you enough fuel for your bow saw and spade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted March 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 22 minutes ago, Scully said: Very very nice. 👍 They are fun little pistols. I have a high dollar single ten but it rubs my seat belt on my side by side and it is messing up the finish. The wrangle is a cheap disposable single action. The company called Heritage arms started making the Rough Rider single action that cost around $99. This was killing The Ruger single six market. So Ruger cam out with the wrangler to complete. They are priced well below $200 dollar market but not quite as cheap as the Heritage. But for $149 you don’t feel bad if it falls off your boat, or you run over it after it falls from your ATV. It’s not legal to sell in every state because of the cast receiver but it is a good little gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the days when we were allowed to play with such things, the GP,SP, Redhawk and Blackhawk were popular revolvers, and I particularly liked the Bisley-Blackhawk. All were cast as opposed to milled ( like S&W and Colt ) as far as I know, so with this in mind, are these models also illegal in some states?

Manufactures started using cast frames that where very cheap to produce and African American folks for the first time could afford them. You could buy Saturday Specials at gas stations. So the more racist states past laws that outlawed guns that melt below a certain temperature . “Pot metal”So in those states only more expensive milled frames or cast brass and aluminum were allowed to excluded the poor and blacks form affordable firearms. Most states have appealed these Jim Crow laws. But the Rugers and Colts where not effected buy these laws as they where higher priced firearms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
