Mojave Lever Crew - Roll Call!

[Calif Hunter]

That my friend is very unfortunate, and I wish for you and the grandkids better days ahead in that regard.

I have no grandchildren (yet), but rest assured that when and if I do, those kids will have more firearms to get acquainted with, and enough ammunition to last a very long time. Luckily, my kids (and my son-in-law) are deeeeeply immersed in gun culture, hunting, shooting, outdoor stuff, etc., that I should not have to worry. At the very first inkling that a grandchild is in the works, I will scoop up a batch of very smallish youth .22 rimfire guns, to transition them after the usual BB and pellet gun learning takes place. Those will be good times indeed.

You are blessed to have daughters; have safe travels!

I am fortunate that my second oldest grandson lived with us for a while a couple years ago. I got to take him hunting for his first time (just jack rabbits...) and then gifted him with his maternal great grandfathers 94 Winchester and the shotgun he hunted with. Later, I gave a Victory Model S&W .38 SPL, and just recently picked up a Ruger Super Single-Six for him.
I have already passed along some fine firearms to the two my daughter, the Mom of the two boys I will be seeing on Sunday, and her current fiance' hunts birds. So they will be taken care of...it is just the present time that is an issue. He even tried to get their exposure to firearms prohibited in the divorce (just because he can't have one due to domestic violence issues...) but the judge in WA just about laughed him out of the courtroom, refusing to deny my daughter and grandsons their Second Amendment rights.

It's bad enough that if this keeps up I see an impending implosion.

New members aren't going to put up with it when they can go to some other forum. Old members put up with it because we can all argue about how we're right and some new member is wrong and they won't come back thereby "proving" we were obviously right. Not to mention I imagine half the traffic on this forum (at least) is from sellers; and I don't think members that basically only use this as a buy-and-sell will put up with the long load times.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

Personally, I think CG might be circling the drain. This has been going on for a very long time, and is not getting any better. I would assume that fixing it would be THE top priority, and if that is the case and it has been worked on for all this time without resolution - then there might not be one.

Hey, Guys...

It appears the upgrade to the new version of the forum software will happen quite soon.

https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/announcement.php?f=327

I am hopeful that the upgrade will fix the incompatibility between the version of the database and the forum software that is causing these slowdowns will soon be a distant memory.

Hopefully, that takes care of it. Fingers crossed!

Couldn't get on yesterday at all! i'm not sure Bob, I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling from that link.

Hey, how many days till Christmas?

[Horsewright]

Merry Christmas to all!

Site is working very well this morning for me. Maybe a Christmas present to us all?

If TR could have his "Big Medicine," I can have my "Bear Gun." The whole family calls it that. Not sure I've ever shown any pics of it. An early model Marlin Guide Gun (They'd only been out a year or two when I got this). Its seen quite a few miles in a saddle scabbard.





Its in .45-70. The version in.450 Marlin had just come out and everybody was picking one of those up around here. I'm glad I stuck with the tried and true. When was the last time you even heard of a .450 Marlin? .45-70 for the win!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

Less than a day until Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and your families!

Ho-Ho-Ho Merry Christmas to all .....

Grabbed this circa 1907 '94 from a local consignment rack a day ago. It's ugly, but it's got character in spades. Plus, it was cheap. Merry Christmas to me!
