I can't believe that massive rodent was running around here and I never saw him. Castor. Extract from their booty gland. :P https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031TW6WM

Basement is probably worse than the barn. Neither is very good. All I can say is, my sixguns don't get treated like that.

Have to register for those links to work.

This booger was eating our rose bushes, which I thought was fairly odd. Having no clue it would actually work, I drug out my coyote trap, cut off a piece of the 6" tree he had also cut down and put some castor on it. Lo and behold, I had him in two nights. He weighed 32.8lbs, 10/22 for scale.

I learned the hard way about the new barrels. Ordered a .44 conversion kit from Gunbroker, only to find out they were too large to fit the older guns. Which pretty much shot my interest in it. I could spend the money on a .50 to use the .44 kit on but instead it's going towards something more...

But the context is a professional fur trapper trapping fur-bearers 100yrs ago or more. Not modern folks who do it because they want to. I'm in a number of trapping groups online and none use a mare's leg, or any centerfire. Most use a .22 pistol or rifle but only for coyotes. Fur bearers are...

Well fur trappers are not typically trapping friggin' wolves and bears. They're trapping beaver, otter, mink, marten, fox and other fur-bearers. If you're trapping for a living 100-150yrs ago, I guarantee you're not burning through .44-40 ammo like today's bulk .22's. A trapper is not going to...

Still trying to figure out how a drop0-in cylinder is "impractical" but a cap `n ball revolver is not.

What happened 60yrs ago and what happened 150yrs ago are two very different things. So you think he (a trapper, not just someone who occasionally traps) was burning through expensive ammo during the great depression? Let alone a 19th century trapper? No. That was money they didn't have to spend.

Makes no difference. A trapper may have carried one but would not have wasted ammo on a trapped critter. That's what sticks and rocks are for.

I seriously doubt any 19th century trapper wasted a bullet on trapped critters.

It's good stuff but they basically ride on the coat tails of Buffalo Bore.

7x isn't going to work at 50yds anyway. Serious parallax issues.

It's a Hollywood gimmick gun. I don't know why anyone wants one. I noted in another thread that it costs and weighs as much as two Colt SAA's with half the combined capacity. Makes no sense.

Nope. It began life as a full flute percussion 1860. Surely, it would've been a lot cheaper to buy a factory conversion but two things. They don't make them in .45ACP and I didn't do it to save money. I don't care for the drop-in cylinders and will agree that it is usually beneficial to just...

I did. Only bought it because it was a good deal at $1200 but found out later that it wasn't compatible with the newer barrels so I had no use for it. It gone, just last week.

.41Mag?

Can't agree with that either. For me it's the difference between a regular shooter and an occasional, every couple years sort of thing. In fact, I don't even remember the last time I shot cap `n ball. I'll take the "gimmick" every time!

It's really cool and fun to shoot but about the most uncomfortable thing I ever held. And I just sold my Desert Eagle. :rofl:

I always wanted a TEC-22 but never got one. When these Uzi's showed up at CDNN for $250, I jumped. Too much "Delta Force" as a kid I guess. :P
