    Curious Inlay on Evans Repeating Rifle

    Hi Folks, I have a new model Evans repeating rifle, circa 1878, which has a curious medallion laid into the foregrip. It’s not just tacked on but recessed, and well done - the relatively small cross grain cut outs are cleaner than casual. The letters in the circle appear to be S K L O with...

    Drake Relisted by Supreme Court

    Just an FYI - Today (5/2) SCOTUS relisted Drake v. Jerejian again, punting the case to review the right to bear arms yet again. Hey, at least they aren't denying it. http://www.westsidelateshift.com/2014/05/drake-case-relisted-again.html

    Money Militia

    With people travelling to hot zones like Nevada, sometimes you may wish you could do more. Sometimes contributing an hour's wage is worth more to a cause than an hour of your time would be. It's often an easier thing to give, too. Consider supporting the acute battle in Washington state...

    Congratulations everyone!

    Not over, but a great victory today that could have been much worse without everyone's involvement. With that, I give you the ewok celebration, which is about how I'm feeling today - victorious over the empire, even if it's just 'for now'. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np6vAuS0KNs

    Great letter to the judiciary subcommittee

    Hopefully most of you are familiar with David Kopel. He testified in the judiciary hearings on gun violence recently, authored many good books, including the recent excellent book "No More Wacos: What's Wrong with Federal Law Enforcement and How to Fix It"; I think he published the first...

    Hornady ultrasonic cleaning

    This may be old hat, but thought I'd post anyway. A few weeks ago I bought the Hornady ultrasonic cleaner. It's really the identical cleaner from Gemoro that you can buy for $70 from any jewelry supply store. For example: http://www.nationaljewelerssupplies.com/ultrasonic-cleaners/SK1785.html...

    Does anybody have a good phone number for Buckinghams Antique Winchesters? I know the typical answer is "just freakin' google it", but I have, and still no luck. All the phone numbers I've found seem to end in either a dead end or a fax number. I even called directory assistance in TN and the...
