I have to admit I am fond of the 32 S&W Long. I have a 6 shot old H&R revolver. I had a gunsmith bob the hammer so it will fit in a pocket without snagging. My father carries a 32 H&R Magnum Davis Derringer at times. His Davis 32 Mag is over 25 years old with no issues.

Kinda a similar subject. If you ever run across an old single shot shot gun, garage sale, family, gunsmith special for 20.00, with a bent or damaged end of barrel, but will still lock up tight- pick it up. Cut the barrel down to 20 inches, Square the end up with a good file and you have a...

The progression of the sale of the company went Davis, then Cobra then Bearman. All are based off the original Remington Derringer. Hope this helps a bit. Be careful lightening the trigger. The overly heavy trigger provides safety. As you already know the piece was designed for across the...

I think it just comes down to accountants, not engineers in just about everything today. Whatever they can do cheapest just to say its included. Take for example we have no shortage of buttholes in the world yet TP is smaller rolls than 5 years ago.

If conditions are good I can hear Dallas Pike Truck Stop, Exit 11 I-70 from my father's house. He had a Royce Base Station with the traditional Radio Shack 1/4 wave ground plane antenna in the late 1970's. Seems like everyone around us all bought existing 23 channel radios, when the 40...

I am still trying to figure out how to get 50+ watts output from a final transistor rated for 22 watts output. I fear Quantum Mechanics are involved.

Maybe I missed it in the post. What section of the country are you referring. You will be able to talk to another vehicle on the road caravan style, however you may experience line of sight issues with mountain tops and valleys when trying to talk back home.

I admit I do not have the level of technical skill, I had always assumed that most guys that run that type of setup make the equipment his self, and they had hard switches to select the transmitting radio, for the same reason stated that the relay switching approach would not work fast enough.

You could try Bob's CB and see if he has any the he had pulled from older radios and tested. Whenever I stop in there is always a stack of radios to salvage sitting on the floor behind his counter.

To tell you the truth. Last time I buried cable for my current antenna setup, I just used RG-8 put together at Bob's CB and ran it inside 2 inch PVC drain pipe. I put on upside Us, or traps in order to keep out the rain. Nothing complex. My logic was if this fails after a few years, then i...

I do not ever remember discussing this on the forum. Three questions in a set. 1. Who got you involved in CB radio? 2. What year did you first talk on a CB radio? 3. What model CB radio was your first time? My answers are: 1. My father, his handle was "Pinwheel" 2. 1979 3. Robyn...

Very sharp bit. I would use an old fashion hand drill. Slow and steady like the other gentleman mentioned. Bakelite brings back memories. My uncle had a Stevens side by side 12 gauge with a Bakelite stock. Kicked like a mule.

I had to get into the "Wayback Machine" to retrieve this one. Not really CB, still love it.

I suspect he is parked at the Love's in Kyiv in Ukraine. Selling Stryker's to all the locals for trucks and tanks. I am sure he's locking up the local truck driver channel with old stories about he used to drive a tank back in the day. Making Youtube videos of Mojo with body armor and...

Not my personal cat. I love this pic.

I saved this one for conversation sake...

Not to sound like a broken record, but the only dumb question is the one you do not ask. Most likely everyone that reads this has had the extra channels added to a CB, or more often did the channel mod himself. The extra channel mod was done when the CB band was so full up with locals talking...

A few gunsmiths in the are do the appointment for service plan as not to have time taken up by buddies who want to BS- Resalable gunsmiths are passing too, being replaced with parts installers. We have a local guy, very good, but primarily builds customs rifles and will do restorations. He...
