I'll probably only need the cover for camping, so a soft roll-up makes sense. But I'll probably change my mind.

It's a 2020 truck. The last Ford truck I had was a 1976 F100 step side (shoulda hung on to that one). Basically, I want to keep camping equipment dry.

I recently bought a Ford 150 PU. I don't want a cap over the bed, so I'm looking at the tonneau covers. There's different types - folding hard sections, soft rolling covers, retractable. I don't...

Just got back from the trip. Zion was amazing with very few crowds. We drove through it then back again with no traffic issues.
Bryce was incredible. Again, no crowds and even a little snow...

Is it common to add a Timney trigger? How is the stock trigger?
Is that a Malcolm scope on the rifle?

No pics on their site, but they're good people to deal with.
The 351 they're selling doesn't have a mag, but they are out there.

I never owned one but always wanted one. If it were my gun, I'd chance the repro hammer. Have you looked for an original hammer? I don't think the repros were made with coil springs.
As far as...

There's a shop not far from me that has the following two rifles, and I'm staying away from that shop. The 1907 .351 is within reason, but the 1895 is out of my league.

I saw quite a few .401 WSLs on GB but they seem pricey (and none have any bids).
It's a great gun but you have to make your own ammo, and I haven't found any replacement recoil springs. Wolff has...

I don't hunt but if I did, the .401 would be a good choice. I call it The Big Ouch. I have an old Hammer of Thor ad on the wall.
I had a .351 WSL that had 5 notches cut into the stock. Either...
I really like the set-up of my club - it's in a nice location, close to my house, not many members (250 or so) but I stay away from the club events like the pin shoot, though it does look like alot...

I'm not sure if the swivel was original to the gun. It was there when I got it.
I ended up with each of the WSL: .22, .32, .35, .351, .401.
The .22 shoots 22 Winchester Auto, the only rifle to...

Gotta love those old Winchesters. I brought my 1895 .30-40 and the 1910 Winchester Self Loader .401 to the range.
You can tame the .30-40 with Red Dot and still ring the gong at 100 yds. Little...
These are the same guys that told me I couldn't shoot a 9mm at the 200 yd berm because the bullets wouldn't reach.
My club is holding bowling pin shoots. No lead bullets, no hollow points, and...get this...no 38 Specials. 9mm is OK, but not 38s. Why not? They don't have the kinetic energy to knock the pins...
Got a bottle of C4 carbon cleaner and worked at the gun over a few days. The carbon build-up was actually in the flutes. Now they're nice and clean and the unfired rounds eject perfectly (that was...
I put some heat on that black build-up ring with a woodburning iron and sure enough, it began erasing away. It's actually pretty thick. I'll finish it tomorrow with a different heat tip, then...
SnapCaps bullets are a smaller diameter than the factory ammo, same OAL, and the slide works easily with the Snapcaps. I loaded up a dummy round with a jacketed 124 gr bullet, and the slide stuck. ...
I'm at the beginning of the learning curve for this handgun. It shoots fine - the rounds all chamber, fire and eject. It's just this problem of not ejecting a round by hand. SnapCaps eject by...
Just before (rearward of) the flutes, there's a dark ring. It encircles the case mouth. It looks like a carbon ring but now I'm wondering.
The gun works perfectly when fired - it's only when...
Great gun but apparently they're ammo fussy. There's a hole from the chamber down to the gas cylinder below that you have to be aware of. The gas piston in the gas cylinder gets fouled easily. ...
