Show us your Guns!
I also have a couple of Husky shotguns, on a Lefacheaux 12 ga sidelock with back action locks, the other a 16ga Mod 100, a more traditional looking sidelock, with pistol grip. Both are hammerguns with rebounding hammers. I have not used them enough to have mastered the art of quickly cocking...- jkingrph

Nice. Sling on on the 9.3x57 looks like one I got with mine from Allans Armory. I like the schnable(sp) forend on those 146's. Like I said, mine is a 46, an earlier model on small ring action. Stock has a rounded pistol grip, checkered, smooth forend tapered all the way. It is completely...- jkingrph

New guy needs advice (you probably get that a lot)
I should have thought of that one, I have a Fed IV deluxe in Heritage Fawn in transit somewhere. Another nice one is the Campdraft, a similar shaped hat with a thin, or very narrow ribbon. I have one in a color called Silverbelly, which in the Akubra is more of a light tan color, which goes... -

Actually my M 46 Husqvarna, circa 1929 was the last firearm I purchased, about 3 years ago. It's one of the earlier small ring Mausers, cocks on closing. It is identical to the 1896 Swedish Mauser military rifle, which I had learned to like. On this sporter, I like the long barrel 25+inches...- jkingrph

I Like This Hat, But How Do You Just Start Wearing a Hat...
You know, I think most of us have had similar experiences. It was certainly that way in Louisiana when I was in Junior High and High school. When I hit college everyone was carrying an umbrella, a couple of years earlier you would have been laughed out of school. -

New guy needs advice (you probably get that a lot)
Business casual, What colors do you wear the most? If grey, blue, black I would go a grey tone with matching or darker ribbon. Earth tone clothing, something in the fawn tan to brown, again if a lighter color the ribbon can match or be darker. Dark chocolate brown with matching ribbon is... -

Sounds like my idea of a good hunt, only my Husky is a Mod 46 and about ten years older. When you kill something, the work begins.- jkingrph

Matching hats and professions....
Pharmacist here. I whatever I want be it western, fedora, or on occasion as Edward, the law lecturer in London says, a cap, but not a baseball cap! -
I Like This Hat, But How Do You Just Start Wearing a Hat...
+ on the western style, especially here in E. Texas. I have/had westerns for years, and they are always in style here. Illegal immigrants wear a lot of straw westerns with some of craziest brim treatments you have seen, folds and sharp creases in brim to turn it upward, sharply. Mine are... -

Not only reloading components. I have saved more than the cost of the license with the purchase of one scope from Graf's. Graf's, Midway and Brownells' give pretty good routine discounts for C&R license holders. I renewed mine the last time just for discounts offered. It's been over four...- jkingrph

I Like This Hat, But How Do You Just Start Wearing a Hat...
Nice classy, casual style hat. I started my hat journey with an Akubra Banjo Patterson, similar style, same hatband, and a slightly better quality felt. It's a similar style, with a marginally more narrow brim. Put it on and start wearing it every day. I did that, felt awkward and self... -
Just ordered the Akubra Banjo
I got my two BP's from Noggintops about 4 years ago, and later got a Territory from DM. Both good folks to deal with, quick shipment and good packing. I have probably worn the Heritage Fawn BP more than any other hat I have, and the charcoal one less, just like the lighter more natural earth... -
"It isn't a @*$%> cowboy hat"
I'll take exception with some of your comments. I have quite a few "cowboy"hats. Some have ribbons, very thin probably 1/4 to 3/8". Two very high quality Stetsons have a "ribbon" made from the same felt as the hat. One straw I have has a very tasteful leather ribbon. One has a 1 1/2 ribbon... -
What hat do you wear most (and why)?
It has been a Heriatge Fawn Banjo Patterson as my go to hat for most things, casual but on the dressy side. I have a Adventurebilt, and a couple by Art that are reserved for more dressy occasions. I recently, last spring, got one of the Heriatge Silverbelly Campdrafts, and find it more on... -
Advice on a quality writing instrument
Recently I found a nice Cross Century fountain pen pencil set on ebay and got it for my wife. It is a red marbled lacquer finish, so definetly a ladies set. It wroye so ninely I picked up one for myself. The vintage Conway Stewart pens from England all seem to write well.- jkingrph

Akubra Campdraft
Since cooler weather down here finally kicked in, 50's-70's, I took the felts out and put the straws away. My Campdraft in the Heriatge SilverBelly is fast turning into my favorite. I have a custom by Art Fawcett that is made almost indentical except for a very slightly narrower brim. It... -
What do our hats really say about us, and more importantly, are they right?
Like a lot of others, I refuse to wear the gimme caps, or anything with advertisement. Why should I be a walking billboard for free or even pay to advertise for something. I liked the idea of sun protection, at age 66 the top is thin and ears need some protection hence hats. I started with... -

Now that sounds like my idea of hunting, maybe take a good camera along. About 40 years ago while a young Air Force officer in central Georgia, I hunted quite a bit for a few years. I was single, lived in an off base apartment so had no place to butcher a deer or freeze one had I killed it...- jkingrph

Short brim vs. wide brim fedora
Well, I'm getting in too the age category of "old guy" and you will never find me in of those stingey things. I like brims to start at about 2 3/4" & 3" is better. -
Akubra Banjo Patterson vs. Lawson
The two colors of the Banjo Patterson were my first dressier hats, other than western. I wear the Fawn more than any other hat I have.
