    I keep getting stuck on the idea a Winchester 1873 trapper size carbine (16") in 357 with a 4" smith 19 would be pretty handy for a walk around setup where bears arent an issue.

    I believe you can, but the problem is the cost of buying the parts gets silly fast. I'd like to buy what I want at the cost Ruger would sell it for, not 30-50 percent more.

    I definitely didn’t contact Sitting Fox Muzzleloaders for a quote on a Tennessee Poor Boy kit in .36 caliber earlier today.

    I certainly wasn’t sitting around thinking about how a rifle like that would make a nice compliment to my .36 caliber Colt Navy reproduction...

    All those poor surplus Beretta 51's and 81's floating around that need a home.

    A new offering of .32 Berettas was a bit of a strain.
    As was the advert for a couple of flintlock fowlers.
    I just hope nothing chambered in .30 Luger turns up around here.

    I always thought the Beretta 51 was pretty cool- I owned a few toy guns in that shape during my youth.

    Henry color case hardened carbine in .357. Didn’t Know I needed one until I touched one.

    I see a lot of good irrational picks here like the .44 Auto Mag and the double-rifles.

    I nearly bit on one a few years ago: an A.H. Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge SxS.

    An 1898 Krag SRC.

    There are some others, but this would be a good start .....

    Dakota Arms Mod 10 (7x57)
    Holland & Holland Royal .12 Ga SxS w/26" Barrels

    The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.

    It would certainly be totally irrational to visit the website for Track of the Wolf...
