Isn't that a replica of what Lucas McCain used to carry on The Rifleman? I had one that fired caps.

Never trust a man in camouflage. He's got something to hide.

1. His was a Winchester 1873, which was produced in multiple calibers: It was originally chambered for the .44-40 cartridge, which was >> the first centrefire cartridge << and which became immensely popular. The 1873 was later produced in .38-40 and .32-20, all of which later became popular handgun cartridges of the day, allowing users to carry just one type of ammunition.;2. The lever on that rifle was modified into a large loop, allowing him to spin it so as to cock it.https://i.pinimg.com/origin...

Vey iz mir. Gevalt.

I love the scenery in Montana (and Wyoming, and both Dakotas, and Idaho, and even Nebraska), but with a combined human population around seven million, it's totes annoying that those seven states have 14 Senators.

There are more people in my city (NYC has over eight million), and my state is home to over 19 million souls. Of course, we're dwarfed by the nearly 40 million in California, but I love living where there's great public transit. I don't want to live behind the wheel. Two Senators for each state made sense once upon a time, but not in 2020.

Just replace "Worked for Trump" with "Spent 4 Years in Prison" and your chances of being hired increase!

Actually the warmer it gets the more snow you get - as long as it's below freezing. At minus 40° F or so it doesn't normally snow. Not because it can't so much as it won't because the air's too dry. Warmer air holds more moisture, so snow at 25°F is likely to be deeper than snow at 10°F.

I have .30-30 centennial carbine model 66 with octagonal barrel - it is one heavy MF. There are 2 tricks I learned from the rifleman - hold the rifle parallel and cock it w/o the rifle moving and hold the lever parallel and let the rifle fall forward and back up to cock it. I can do that trick with most carbines but mine is so effing heavy (and I am so old and decrepit) that I can't do them cuz my wrists man. I just weighed it - it weighs 7 pounds unloaded; the heaviest 7 pounds ever.

This is actually the first time I had it out of its carrier in 10 years, probably time to clean and oil it. I put it on layaway and paid for it a week at a time the summer I turned 17. The rifle version was way, way heavier - you'd probably need one of those fork sticks to aim it.

But at -40°F, any snow you have tries to stay around forever, so it piles up more in the long run.

Hey, so could mine. The ammo was so expensive that I used to shoot .38s - a + was that it hurt less to shoot .38s also.
