That old lever action is awesome.

I gave my brother a little assisted opening Timberline he fell in love with, sold off the Strider and returned an Emerson. Now I've been packing a Case barlow and needless to say feel a little under gunned.

SP, why the stop in production? I heard the gov't is stopping the Paladin (I think that is what it was) tracked animal the other day. The Paladin is produced not too far from Ft. Sill, OK.

A cowboy hall of fame! My B-inlaw lives there and is moving here, if/when I get suckered into helping I'll have to check that out.

imaginefj, when you get here let me know. I would love to meet up and have a couple cold ones. I am always up for a trip to the CHF.

OK, it was not the Paladin but it kinda looks like one. I know the little town where it was to be assembled is going to be crushed economically because of it.

It's expensive and therefore politically not viable.
Its perceived that its function is no longer needed. I contend that its sheer presence has created this void. It has no equal. It has the ability to see, fire, and forget all without being seen, and in a recent war games trial, it had a 30:1 kill ratio against the F15/F16 combo.

I can not remember any president, besides our current one, that has cut so much in military spending during war? Hmmm..........

Here is another great looking SAA engraved. As you can tell the SAA holds a special place in my heart. I need to get some pics of my SAA.

I will have to find my disk that has pics of some funny places and upload them to PB so I can post them here.

Here is another pic of the statue--End of Trail
