Nice pic vaquero especially the cartridges displayed. Looks like a fun morning for you.

Sir Henry, I sure like your “drawers”.

A little tree trimming today with .44 Special and mild 44 Mag loads. Had the Ruger .44 Special BH Flat Top out along with the Uberti 1873 44 Mag carbine. Both really nice to shoot and like that 44 Special load of 240 SWC with 7 gr. Unique. Also the Target shack is working out great with all the steel easy to get to and setup plus added a small vise on the bench today. Will be cutting the grass around there very soon!

Good morning, about to have a late breakfast then I'm going to sling some lead from a couple of the straight walled rifles.
255 gr 38-55 vs 325+gr 444.

Always enjoy seeing those Marlins. Beautiful lever guns, there.

Just watched one of those 38-55 Marlins sell for 1500.00 Randy

Forty, that’s the kind of “tree trimming” we all can get behind!

Two shots with my Texas Bond and I was done for the day. This is by far my least favorite firearm.

What caliber would that be Gene? I had one in 45 Colt/.410 and it was a bit hard to pull the hammer back but it shot fine until the hammer blew off one day. Sent it back and Bond fix it but no mention of WHY. Traded it off and kept part of the hammer. It has a definite weak spot where it is notched out for the moving hammer part.

Yes it was fun getting it out which is much easier to do now being closer to the target area. There is top section of three more paddles that bolts on.

This one is .22LR. I had another receiver and 45/410 and 38/357 barrels.
