Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Bond Arms are pretty heavy for their size but I like them a lot. I carried a Bond Arms .45 derringer for years with a .45 in the top chamber and a .410 snake round in the lower.
ever get to use that snake round out there?
 
Well in that case how about this little guy. Only one round but packs a punch. I like Bond Arms derringers, very nice quality.
Oh my!

Could you imagine shooting a round that was made to kill buffalo, from a 3 inch barrel? I don't know if it would be worse to shoot it or get shot by it lol
 
Morning y'all!
Happy Friday 😊

Up at 3, tennis tournament in Lewiston today...
Didn't have to go this year but a cooks job is never done...
Have a great day everyone 😀
Peace ✌️
Good morning Joel!

Only for practice as the few times I was where it might have ended up proving useful were also places that would frown on its use (a golf course and in the grass in front of one our apartments). It was a bit of a comfort though when out on the trail. Of course on the trail, it isn't all you carry.

I believe surgery may be required after you use it. I had a Marlin Lever Action, I don't remember the model but it was very similar to their Trapper Series 1894 (45-70 Govt) except that it was blued and had custom carved walnut stock and forend. I bought it from a gunsmith at a show. It had a bit of a kick. Great rifle, wish I still had it. I seemed to gravitate toward old style arms, especially in classic calibers. I also had a Winchester 1886 takedown in 45-70 Govt.

Very cool Tom!

I love anything Marlin lever action! I almost cried when they canceled the 336 lever. I used to love .45-70 until I discovered the .35 whelen!

I'll always have a soft spot for Marlin lever actions. When I was growing up we had two rifles in the house, a Marlin lever action 22 that I must have taken apart and put back together over a hundred times, and a Winchester single barrel break-action 12 gauge shotgun.
 
None of the above. My wife and kids are going to the lake so I'll be watching movies! Not sure which ones yet. We've got our homeschool co-op end of semester Showcase this morning, then lunch and screen time. Gonna relax and rest the back today.
Highly recommend The Man in the High tower on Netflix. It’s post WWII but the US and its allies lost the war. Everything east of the Rockies is **** Germany and everything west is imperial Japan. The Rockies is a neutral zone where the American insurgents are. So good, I’m watching it for the second time currently.
 
Ok I'm thinking about getting a new pewpew to carry. I want small and lightweight and I know we have few enthusiasts here so give me some suggestions. The lighter the better I currently carry a 9mm Taurus Slim so what's out there that's lighter and smaller?
Love my conceal and carry, Sig Saur P365.

I would love to get my hands on one of the old Marlin .22 lever actions. I'd give it to my oldest boy.
