  1. Yeah. I'd put one in places like D'Hanis or Broaddus. .30-06 for sure though. 300 BLK for East Texas, though. .30-30 too.
  2. Can she rack the slide easily? That's the big question I would be asking. If not, revolvers are often underrated. They point better than most pistols. And if she is the type to train with it she can build the muscle memory to use one in single action mode while still retaining skill to shoot one double action. If she isn't, I would look for a 9mm striker gun that she has no problem operating.
  3. It's pretty much reached Monty Python and the Holy Grail levels. Hopefully, given another ten or twenty years we will be able to look back at it and laugh. Probably not.
  4. Picked up this Griswold and Gunnison reproduction a few weeks back. $250 from Midway.
  5. This is just my mom's portion and half of my aunt's (who has no kids) that will go to my brothers and me. Three kids for me and just one for my older brother. Not expecting any from my younger brother. Older brother and niece live in Montana, so I don't see then having string opinions on how it is managed and there is a good chance I buy him out one day.
  6. Yeah, I was leaning LLC because of all the reasons stated, but was mainly curious if there are pitfalls I haven't thought about since her lawyer seems to be strongly against it.
  7. Are you talking about a divorce or paying movers?
  8. I said financial advisor, but what I meant was estate lawyer. So she is going to get paid. I just hate to see the land divided up so much. If we go that route, each of my kids has ten acres to look forward to. And land fragmentation is a pretty serious issue, not just with regards to how it is managed, but ecological issues as well.
  9. Here's a picture of one of them from a couple years ago chucked up in my very dirty flintlock after a long shooting session.
  10. I thought it pretty obvious that that is a broken point made from obsidian. The other stuff is really what I was curious about. Some of it is almost glass like in it's translucency. Yet it is tough enough to last just as long as a piece of English flint when I manage to knap a piece into the right shape to use in my flintlock. My understanding is that quartz us generally too brittle to last more than a few shots when used as a gun flint.
  11. So is the consensus that a jointly owned LLC is the way to go? My mom is trying to set up her estate right now and her financial adviser feels strongly that it isn't a good idea. Her share of my grandfather's land is about 90 acres of east Texans timberland (was pasture when I was a kid) and my brothers and I don't want to see it get split up into smaller and smaller pieces.
  12. According to the data compiled by Ammoland, any handgun has a success rate of something like 98% at deterring bear attacks. In fact, they only found one case where a handgun was used to shoot an attacking bear that was unsuccessful, and it was with a .22.
  13. Gracia, Imma. Internet is too slow here to get the autism-imbed to work. The mezcal probably didn't help much either.
  14. https://images2.imgbox.com/15/ad/KwMlSm0G_o.jpg All from the same spot in central Mexico. The ones I found before threw a pretty decent spark for my flintlock without destroying themselves.
