Hi Joane welcome to the forum, Don

Hi Don,

I have been looking at your holsters and must say they certainly got my attention. I have a couple of antique collecter holsters and your work is, particularly the Furstnow, is better than the original! Thanks for posting the pictures. Would an original winchester 32-20 fit in that scabbard?

Yeah, no kiddin' about the donuts. Who the heck put onions on 'em? Bagels?.....oh.

Welcome to the forum LadyJ. I'm sure you'll find all kinds of sources for your interests, here.

Hi Hedge,

I really like the Quigley belt. I have a .45-70 which I leave on the guncart at shoots. Inevitably, one of the guests will ask if they can shoot it. I love to watch their faces when they shoot a fully loaded cartridge -- hehehe!

Hi Luke,

I thought I might find SASS members on this site. Do you make your own gunleather? Do you shoot regularly?

Thanks, LadyJ. It was fun to make. Especially examining the details of the original and then reproducing it.

What model .45-70 do you have? I picked up an 1885 Win and installed an Axtell mid-range vernier on it. Sure is fun to lob a 500 gr hunk of lead 500 yds down range and watch the plate drop. 'course ya gotta have patience while waiting for it to get there! Sorta like shoulder mounted artillery.

I know what you mean about full loads. I pushed a few while working up something that would satisfy my shoulder and rifle. OUCH!

Hi again Anne,

I was just looking at your question about your chaps. Did someone answer it for you? You picked about the most difficult type of chaps to learn on or to wear --- full shotgun chaps. They are used by cowboys in cold climates as they really are good protection from bad weather. I prefer chinks that have a couple of strap with clips across the back of my thighs. They protect you from the trees and brush but are not hot in the summer. (I can also get them on myself without the help it takes to put on full shotguns). I have a pair of my chinks on in the marshmellow roasting pic and in the other picture you can see the backs on some of the other people.

Thanks Tina. Whose on the horse?

Well, that's me from last fall visiting my daughter in Sweden (hense the english sadle and tack). I use to do horse back riding all the time growing up, not so much these days but is isn't because I don't like it, just the lack of opportunity to do so:-)

Have a fab day//Tina

You know Tina, I JUST put in a horse camp at the back end of my property, and it's right in pristine 900 acres of National Forest... Consider an opprotunity if you want it- My mare's due to have a foal any day now, and soon Ill be building a guest cabin at that same back end of the property... Ya can truck the horses out and often enough, we have extras in our group if ya want...

Yes, I got my questions answered on this forum. It was more the things I didn't know that were some of those things you learn on your own unless you take a class or have someone show you step by step. Well it is a good thing to know that if these were the most difficult the others should be a breeze. As to wearing them..... no problem very easy to wear and putting them on is no issue either.

Hi Again Hedge,

I have a Springfield Trapdoor, Cadet Model that was used for competitive shooting with specials site, armory maintained. Late 1880's and it have been in a case under a bed in a small mining town since it was bought by the man I bought if from when he got out of the army after WWII. The barrel looked better than my new hunting rifles. and YES, even downloaded --- it takes my breath away when I pull the trigger.

So what do you shoot in pistols? and of course, what type of a gun rig do you prefer for them?
