[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
life is good all right all
right this thing turned off H coock 45
here your internet shooting companion
come to you from the beautiful Hills of
Tennessee yes you can see them they're
green can't you yes the home of Johnny
Cash we're going to claim him too and
everybody else that's lived here yes if
they put foot on Tennessee dirt we're
going to claim them yep that's the new
plan here not going to worry about where
somebody was born I mean that's
irrelevant if you step foot into
Tennessee you're Tennessee seeing right
uh well as long as you like Tennessee
now if you're somebody coming through
and you hate guns you hate Woods trees
freedom and all that no we won't claim
you but uh we'll claim anybody that
likes the state okay pretty much so glad
you're here I'm here you see this nice
uh Winchester Model 92 yeah I'm being
Lucas McCain The Rifleman this week
without the big loop lever with which I
hate I know that's
sacriligious if you're not a shooter you
haven't handled lever guns and you love
watching The Rifleman and John Wayne
with his big loop levers uh you probably
think well hick coock yeah I watch your
videos I kind of like you a little bit
but man you just are clueless if you
don't like big levers don't you know
they're extra Ultra
cool yeah well not when you handle them
at least not for me don't like them so
maybe we'll talk about that a little bit
but yeah Model 92 and hopefully you've
seen this one it's it's uh it's one of
my favorites believe it or not and it's
not the most viable that's for sure uh
to me value as was very relative the
value of an item to me is really
largely what I can do with it you know
you know I don't have safe Queens you
know that man I shoot some firearms that
most people would not even fire that did
reduce the value of it or whatever no
the the value to me is uh literally the
value to me on the Range pulling a
trigger enjoying a firearm okay now
sometimes that value is embodied in an
older antique historical rifle or
something shotgun muzzle loader the fact
that it's very old and was used in the
Civil War or in the 1880s or whatever uh
I mean that adds to to it as to the
enjoyment value for me you know shooting
something that's really old that's been
handed down that long but uh but I mean
mainly the value is in my enjoyment of
it so how I get off on all that I don't
know I don't know yeah man that's a cool
gun it's still got a few rounds in it
but if you noticed if you were paying
attention as I do with uh well
especially bolt guns and and well single
actions
of uh yeah single action
revolvers can do it of course with
double action revolvers sort of if you
don't pull the Trigg again but lever
guns bolt guns especially I just leave a
dead round I don't jack another round in
unless I'm going to fire
it that's just a rule of thumb now if I
were in battle it might be different but
as I'm walking around or I'm on the
Range or I'm shooting when I pull the
trigger unless I'm going to shoot again
fire another round I don't immediately
rack another round in okay that might be
different from uh Lucas McCain of course
he's always in a an engagement with
somebody
right yeah this is the old uh uh you've
seen it everybody comments on the SES
being on backwards somebody did that on
purpose and uh either for their eyes or
as I understand uh some of the old
Cowboys would do that turn them
around U Cowboys from the old days
you're still Cowboys around right if you
work with cows you're a cowboy I guess
hey when I was a boy we had three or
four cows Cales yeah took care of I
guess I was a boy and I took care of
cows I was a cowboy I didn't have a
horse but they would uh I read that they
would sometimes turn them around like
that too because of
the uh what was it the
scabard uh something about the Scabbard
what was it uh they wouldn't hang up on
the scabbo or something I don't know and
then maybe it's a little bit like a
Scout rifle gets that sight out there a
little further I don't know but it was
done
intentionally okay it's not like someone
forgot and put it on backwards I don't
think and this is the one it's an actual
357 Magnum how's that for a Winchester
92 you think John Wayne's 92 or or Lucas
McCain's 92 was a 357
Magnum I don't think so well it could
have been in the movies of course it
could been anything right but uh this
one probably started out as a
3220 and it was probably a lot of these
as I understand were sent back to the
factory to Winchester to be bored out to
uh 38 caliber you know 357 Magnum uh in
the ' 50s that was very popular
chambering and then two uh you know this
one let's see what's the dat on this one
this one is
a I got two of these one of them is like
uh made in
1917 I think that was this one the other
one was
uh 29 no no that's a 3030 oh well I have
to look it up uh yeah I know I'm
embarrassed I should be embarrassed when
I have so many cool guns and I I I
forget the
dates and yeah it's not a dementia thing
it's a it's a 2 many guns thing I should
be ashamed but
um so it is 357 M those right on it and
of course I knew that going in when I
saw it in the gun shop a few years back
I said let me see that what is that a 92
yeah and I looked at it wait a minute
357 magnum model 92 that's obviously a
worn serial number you an old one and so
been Rebo but the the barrel is uh looks
like original and you know the gun's
original uh it's been reboarded 357 so I
had to think about whether or not I
would be caught dead with something like
this an original Winchester made 100
years 100 years ago in Chamberlin 357
Magnum you know how ridiculous is that
you know well not too ridiculous I
thought about it well I actually got
this for Less a fair amount less than I
would have paid for say a UB birdie or a
new Winchester or something you know
chamber in 357 Magnum like half I think
I paid six or 7 hundred bucks for this
thing and you know UB birie these new
lever gun A lot of them are they started
at $1,000 12,300 you know and to get a
357 Magnum you a lot of people walking
around breathing like that right now
think man I'd love to have a lever gun
and 357 because I've got a couple
revolvers or something or 44 Magnum or
something but you know nobody chambered
them in those calibers back in the old
days you I found and so they're looking
for a newer one you birdie or something
and often now Rossy makes them I think a
little more reasonably priced I guess
still although they kind of up their
game haven't
they so so anyway uh my point
is well I'd rather have
this that's been rebor got the original
Barrel everything's original except some
of the metals missing
in the met in in the barrel right been
if it's been bored out a little bit uh
I'd rather have this for six or seven
than one of those an Italian made rifle
for 12 or 13 or 15 or whatever I have to
pay for it you know so there you go just
justifying my
purchase okay justifying my purchase
even though the firearm in many eyes has
been adulterated it's been modified it's
like taking an old coin
and and putting steel wool to it to
shine it up or something you know but it
it made it so usable if it had been 3220
I had no interest in it at any price I
mean sorry nothing against 3220 but I
don't I don't know where you I mean you
can get that ammo of course but you know
there's no reason to be out looking
prowling around for a 3220 you uh but I
mean I'm sure it's a great cartridge so
anyway just justifying
you know my decision trying to sound
smart that's what I did let me can I
finish it it's got a couple of rounds in
before I do that I want to thank Alabama
holster too uh great little kidex
holsters concealment holsters belt
holsters inside the waistband outside
the waistband purse holsters I talked
about my purse holster pocket holsters
you know I've been using them for a lot
of years so uh they're a great great
great company and great people uh I'm
going to take a
shot and uh wow I determined it was so
accurate that I might shoot Alabama
holster the state of Alabama right there
in the
middle yeah wow such
accuracy actually missed the gong a
couple times I think I was holding too
low on it let me try that
again yeah that one didn't have enough
powder in did it I didn't have many
rounds left back in there did I uh yeah
again that's a good problem to have how
many times have you seen me not being
sure where to hold on the gun well again
different gun every week every day I got
something else out
here bought a new
617 you know the one I brought out last
week uh got a little bit of dirt on it
so I went and bought another one a't
this one pretty look at those grips is
that neat that's
cool so that's when you got too many
guns and one gets dirty you just buy
another one that was a joke one of you
left a comment last Sunday's
video
about what' you say that uh yall to put
some wood grips on that or I've got wood
grips on mine or something like that
and it hit me I I can't believe I hadn't
even thought of that you know cuz it
came with those rubber hog or whatever
they are they feel
fine and uh I thought wood grips yeah
yeah that's a K or an L frame I think
it's a k frame actually I think I said
LF frame last week because of the
underload but I think the
frame is actually K frame right I don't
know K either way they take the same
grips the K andl frame Smith just for
your information file that one away
uh and I mean it that was just a light
went off in my brain when I saw that
comment because I took these grips off
these are what are these called combat
Magnum or something like that and and
they're real expensive go on a gun
broker and look for some I think they're
combat Magnum or whatever they call it
and they have you the finger grip
grooves they're they're round butt and
they extend a little bit they oh they
feel like a million bucks and I never
really had him on a pistol mine the
first one I got let's see it was uh they
when I bought that yeah come think of
the 686 4 in lot like this right uh it
had them on it and I still have monor
don't I yeah I think so and then I
bought the uh 66 the Model 66 uh 22 in
Barrel painted out recently in fact and
it had these on it these came on it okay
but that thing is a 2 and 1/2 in barrel
and I've talked about this recently I
think with y'all maybe a really short
barrel and um
and then these big grips they this
little gun with these big grips so I put
boot grips on it nice grips wooden grips
you may have seen those already I took
these off and they've just been lying
around and I don't know why I didn't
think before to put them on this one
perfect cuz it's got a longer Barrel
it's a heavier gun bigger gun you know
than that and uh it's not a carry gun
either you know so if they stick out a
little bit doesn't matter it's a heavy
gun and and I mean it just feels great I
mean I like this gun a whole lot better
now so there you go I mean I've had this
gun in the safe I rarely get out and
these grips were they were in fact lying
on top of one of my shaves for months
year two probably and uh I could have
matched them up anytime and liked this
gun a whole lot better and I didn't even
know it till one of you left that
comment so I might just load it up and
shoot it uh you know you never know
that's the interesting thing about the
shooting World there are so many
firearms and areas of
shooting uh something for everybody and
then if you get a little bit tired like
we guys sometimes too of something we're
doing and ready for a change do
something else there's always a
different type of shooting a different
firearm a different caliber you just you
no end to that is there things you can't
do as easily
with oh I don't know a lot of guys
especially like cars get into cars but
cars are pretty
expensive so it's a little more
difficult to have a couple of different
cars you like whether they're race cars
or just whatever around town cars then
you out weird I think I want a different
car I want a pickup truck and this guy
you you know you do that and you'll be
broke right forong trading cars too
often that sort of but with guns you can
have more of them and you can have
variety you may be in the mood to shoot
muzzle loaders this fall or something
and and you get in the mood to shoot
your revolvers and uh maybe go shoot ski
you know or take your longer range rifle
to the range and shoot that some and and
then you just kind of go through Cycles
at least I do so yeah I like this
firearm now the big question though
is as with anything in terms of
firearms how accurate are these grips so
let's see how accurate they are I shoot
the SDI badge
all right look pretty good at close
range we try a two
L okay not bad they must have the right
amount of wood on both
sides okay see if we can hit the gong I
don't know if I'll hear it maybe you
will I hear it I hear it all right
pretty good grips
yeah I've had grips that were just not
very accurate I don't know sometimes I
think it's a varnish they put on them
you
think all right some of you are sitting
back thinking oh man I knew the day
would come guy's gotten so old he's uh
he's worse than our president he has
totally uh lost his mind he is uh
suffering from an acute case chronic
case of dementia right that's what
you're thinking right now uh yeah I
shouldn't do that cuz I mess with people
that are so inexperienced with Firearms
when I talk about a 1911 magazine being
more accurate than another one and I
kind I just can't help but I'm sorry I
did that every day with my seventh
graders when I was teaching middle
school and I just uh I had so much fun
it's how I got through teaching all
those years because it was so much fun
having a captive audience to pick on you
know so what do you want to know about
anything uh well you know speaking of
this many of you passed the quiz you uh
yeah a lot of you did you commented cuz
I I asked there you go speaking of
dementia I I remember I I said something
about asking you why this was heavier
than my 686 or whatever it's the same
size you know and then I got the
shooting and I forgot to come back to
the answer so most of you knew now some
of you might not have and if you haven't
looked in the comments you are still
wondering you're probably losing sleep
you're lying awake at night
wondering I still wonder why that gun is
lighter that hick Haw head out on
Sunday well for those people I should
make you go to the comments and see CU
six or seven people answered it
but uh yeah same size gun but smaller
holes in the cylinder smaller hole in
the barrel what does that mean smaller
hole more steel right cuz you the
outside dimensions are the
same okay it's like if you take a well
just a bar of Steel that's big around
you bore a big hole in it like a shotgun
and it's not going to be that heavy but
if you bore a little hole in it you
didn't take out much steel guess what
it's going to be heavy so and uh that's
one reason I mentioned to
somebody I have never
liked
a well cold single action any single
action
revolver and small caliber the feel of
it the weight of it uh you hand me a a
45 cold single action
and even four and 3/4 even in a short
barrel
and if it's a
357 38 chambering it it doesn't feel
quite right to me you know cuz I'm used
to it being 45 having less metal in that
Barrel cuz the outside dimensions are
going to be the same uh not as bad with
the 4 and 3/4 but when you get to a 5
1/2 in Barrel on a Colt if you hand me
one you've gotten this chamber in 38 and
there a lot of them out there in 38 or
something and it does feel Barrel heavy
to me it it doesn't feel balanced to me
yeah it really doesn't if you if you
give me a a 7 and 1/2 in Barrel it's a
38 it really feels uh weird like a
really heavy barrel so uh you know I
don't thing was meant to be 45 guess
that's the first ones were right so uh
that that's just a little physics lesson
there that again just no charge for that
you know should be charging you all but
I don't I never do it uh I got that
thing dirty again well I have to shoot
it I guess right keep shooting it uh so
also some of you mentioned the camera
about the uh the the
uh well there were different comments
about it being yeah camera is really
good I can see the spider webs on your
hat and wherever that was you know and
all this kind of thing and uh but I I
think a lot of it the difference last
week this may have a little bit better
resolution uh but uh I mean we got a set
on about the same and I don't know U but
uh it's like a dramat not a dramatically
different camera just a newer model of
the same
thing but last week I was earlier in the
day and the sun was coming down on me
and uh that makes a big difference the
lighting uh those of you who do videos
uh of any kind on any kind of regular
basis uh you're filming we're doing a
lot of Photography know what I'm talking
about the uh
lighting uh messes with with things of
course right and uh we're not into high
the highest production values we don't
worry about it too much the biggest
problem we have is on the main
range and uh
it happened yesterday or it happens
every day almost that we we do a video
in the afternoon there the uh one nice
thing about being over here like right
now we'd have that I'd have that problem
on the Main Range which why it's nice to
do the Sunday videos over here I can do
them any time you know after whatever 11
12:00 in the day uh but but over there
it needs to be like later in the
afternoon late at 5:00 or something yeah
because of the differential in Lighting
on the range of targets out there uh now
not the first targets but out in the
woods you know at 20 30 40 5080 yards
whatever they are in the
shade but the lights blaring down the
sun's blaring down on the shooting table
and in the close part of the range and
you know and and on me and so it it it's
lot too bad but it's just not ideal so
we usually wait until that the shade
comes over the shooting table
not always and sometimes we get fooled
we'll think it's cloudy and like
yesterday it was cloudy we were about to
to film and then the sun came out and so
we had to wait a couple hours but uh so
anyway it's an issue yeah I knew you
worry about that you little inside
baseball inside baseball and it's It's
the weird thing we've dealt with for 15
years you know 16 is uh because the Sun
keeps setting in the same place
does that's in the west where I live I
don't know about where you live and uh
and it's interesting little lighting
speaking of that because it's different
in the spring summer fall and everything
else for one thing the sun's in a
different place right uh in the evening
or afternoon it's more like over here
and and right now it's over that way uh
so it's coming from a different
angle then of course you got the
different time you know it's setting
earlier and all that sort of thing then
the one of the biggest uh factors are
the leaves on the trees so in the winter
when there's no leaves on the
trees that's
different sometimes the sun's not as big
an issue because it's coming through the
trees more and the entire range is in
the light so not as big a deal there's
not as much of a difference between the
close part of the range shooting table
and out at the turkeys and and animals
you know so there so we can go ahead
maybe and film and get a better better
effect but uh but when the leaves are on
it's pretty shady really shady you know
on the the distant part of the range
yeah versus the sun blaring down on the
other part and I'm not going to charge
you for that information so what was I
about to shoot again yeah this thing uh
I was about to load it up anything else
you want to know about uh gosh I don't
think I don't you don't have a lot this
week I don't think I got some advice
though for young people that's about it
and I'll shoot some more probably get
out of here uh also yeah I'm a little
early this week because
uh probably when you see me right now
probably as you're looking at me right
now I'm just getting back home isn't
that
weird uh from Friendship going to you
know the national muzzle loing shoot in
Friendship Indiana
or I or I did is what I
mean and uh and hung out there and I
might have seen you and you don't even
know it yet in fact I don't even know it
yet I probably met some of you that are
watching this right now and I just don't
know it it's not a part of my memory yet
it will be though when you see this okay
it's not right now for me but it is for
you so pretty weird huh Twilight Zoom
where's Rod Sherling where's
Rod so uh yeah I I I uh wasn't going to
go wasn't sure cuz I got where I just
don't if I don't get there the first
weekend I just almost will not go cuz I
went up one time the second weekend of
it and a lot of people had closed up
shop and everything and I not going back
to that learn my lesson well I guess I
haven't learned my lesson uh cuz I'm
going up and then we'll see
I'll let you know next week if I if it
was a lesson I needed to learn uh
better uh but I think the weather's
going to be okay so that surely
everybody will be
there all right I get the black powder
fever I always get that when I go up
there if I don't already have it all
right let's shoot this thing that is a
neat old
gun yeah it really is been beat up and
carried around probably on Horseback you
know that side in a Scabbard and there's
not any finish left on that thing
anywhere that's okay to me it has the
more character than almost any of my
other Firearms all right got some real
Magnums in it
now oh they're not accurate
enough to blow out to it you have to hit
it don't you that be darn let's shoot
that hog
all right got that hog speaking of ammo
I've been shooting some hand loads and
some jacketed rounds appreciate
widener.edu check out widener.edu
all right I hear it I he
it I didn't hear that one shot
high C him
again
High all
right that's
fun all right mag Magnums jacketed 158
grain uh jacketed ammo that is the
classic 357 Magnum 158 grain bullet
there's a lot of good bullets lighter
and heavier but uh you know there are
certain rounds you'll learn if you're
just getting into shooting classic
bullet weights I've talked a little bit
about that like in 44 the 240 grain is
kind of the classic lots of good ones
heavier and lighter uh 38 357 158 grain
bullets it's kind of the classic 45 Colt
I guess 250 255
grain uh you know
4570 uh 405 grain uh you know R down the
line with every cartridge right so yeah
I really like my 617 now that is so it
just feels great it feels great anybody
else have those uh I think they're
called the combat combat grips or combat
Magnum or something and uh like I say
they're really pricey if you uh you know
look for some three 400 bucks or
something and uh they just happen to be
on two different firearms that I
purchased recently and it's good to have
them didn't know they could feel so good
now they are big I wouldn't want them on
a little little bitty uh carry revolver
you know but boy they feel good on just
a shooter range gun or house gun
whatever so all right advice so yeah you
something came to me I was driving along
about
procrastination yeah and so many of us
are guilty of that in fact I've got a
book on procrastination I've just never
gotten around to reading it how's that
for a funny joke I actually do have have
that I bought it 20 30 years ago and it
was a while before I got around to read
it and uh but I oh I know what I did I
ran across a uh a a saying somewhere a
Chinese proverb which I'd seen before
you've probably seen the best time to
plant a
tree was 20 years
ago the second best time is now that's a
good one to file away best time to plant
a tree was 20 years ago the second best
time is now that' be a good one if
you're a really bad procrastinator like
most of us put that over the doorway
right and I always think about when I
see that of my uh
you know give those lectures to John
over the years and my students and
everything else I uh I put off planning
uh I was going to plant shrubs or some
kind of uh Cedars as
a as a privacy screen you know around
the road on my place and parts of it and
everything I just put it off and every
every every year I think they come up on
the fall like I need I got to get some
pine trees going over there and uh you
know create a wall so I can't see the
cars you know and and all that I just I
put it off year after year and never did
I finally got the idea of some bamboo
finally got some bamboo and put that in
there and uh and uh it really it took
two three four years for it to uh to
give me the Privacy I wanted it's still
not quite there but it's almost there
now and I'm talking about in the winter
especially you know when all the leaves
are off and the bamboo stays green year
round and uh it's crease like the
Evergreen would do because it's
Evergreen and uh and I think about that
if I hadn't done that 78 years ago I
still be in the same place you know uh
so like the best this the very best time
that have done that would have been 20
years ago 30 years ago I've been here 35
years you know and I just didn't do it
uh but it you just you put things off
and uh nothing gets done and you don't
get the benefit right and uh and it's
again I'm not a financial advisor okay
disclaimer but uh it's the same with
that boy uh you know I talked about this
every now and then you young
people if you if you could just put away
even 10 bucks a a month 10 bucks a week
uh go to go to a financial calculator
for compound interest okay a retirement
calculator there all over the Internet
Ramsey has one there there's everywhere
and put in your age and put in uh you
just put in an amount of money that you
know you could that you spend on soft
rinks or whatever just a amount that you
could easily put away
okay let's see what it would be in 50
years if you did put it away you know in
in in a in a fund you know just any
basic Index Fund the market there in the
market which generally you know returns
8 to 10% a year okay over time and uh
and just see what that would be with the
compound at
interest and that calculator really
don't don't procrastinate do that if you
don't do anything else if you don't even
uh start a fund or put any money what go
to one of those calculators now you may
know how to do that on your own
calculator it's a little more
complicated with compound interest right
I couldn't do it I'm too dumb but from
Kentucky uh but um put it in there and
then you you put your like bucks a week
or something you yeah what if I did put
in 10 bucks a week be simple I wouldn't
even miss it or or 50 or 100 I don't
know what you wouldn't miss and then
just see what that is really and you can
run it out it it gives you a slot to put
in 20 years what is it in 20 years 10
years 50 years 30 years you know when
you're 65 or whatever and then put in
well let's see okay this is fun what if
I really got halfway
serious and put in like 10% of what I
make or 20% or whatever what if I
stretched a little bit and put in
something that I could realistically put
it in there I really could I I don't
necessarily want to or i' have to give
up a few things but I could put in I
don't know you I don't know your income
maybe it's 500 bucks a month I don't
know what what could you do if you
really wanted to put that in there and
look at what that would be in 30 years
or 20 years years or
50 and you might just be amazed it might
be 2 million yeah I mean might you know
it it be you'll be surprised what the
compound interest does it doesn't go
crazy very it takes few years to start
going you know but man toward the end of
that curve it's just up and uh and then
ask yourself okay
H well that's pretty cool I could get
started doing that
uh yeah or you could be like most of us
or you be like me with the bamboo and
the shrubs and the Evergreens you know I
I wait 30 years before I do it or 25 you
know you know I'd be I'd have oh man
would I be happy if I had done it 10
years sooner and and of course the same
with investing I wish I'd started when I
was 15 or 20 or
25 um so anyway that's my I mean if you
don't if you don't do take any other
advice you've ever heard from me
that is something that boy will you be
glad you did it you will be so glad in
10 years and 50 years 20 years you will
you will be delighted you just watch it
grow and don't touch it don't touch it
that's the other thing again I'm not a
financial adviser just a dummy on the
internet but I have studied it a lot
read a lot I watch a lot of other
experts on it you don't want to mess
with it much at all you uh you don't
want to start thinking you can play the
stock market unless you're going to be a
day trader by occupation or some crazy
thing like that just go to one of the
brokerage company now of course you
you're you're uh you probably have a
retirement fund with your employer if
you're employed that way but if you
don't or even if you do you can go to
like Schwab or am U well I got want TD
Amit trade and Fidelity but you can go
to Fidelity or
Vanguard and uh you set it up yourself
in just a few minutes you got an account
there you get your wife's name on if you
have a spouse you put your spouse's name
on there too so if you get hit by a
truck you know all that kind of thing
and uh and then you set up to put in
automatically out of your out of your
bank account every month and I mean that
there really it is the best advice I can
think to give I wish someone had made me
do it when I was 20 30 whatever I really
do and then just forget about it you
know a good in a total market index fund
s&p500 you can't go wrong and uh all
these people that play the market it's
just like Las Vegas they think they're
making way more than somebody that's
just putting theirs in the market and
Index Fund Vanguard has proven this long
ago and you know and all the all the
brokerage counts have the same funds but
that uh you just put it in there and let
it grow uh people get rich by they get
rich slowly not quickly if they if
someone gets Rich quickly it's an
accident you know you can't plan that
you know you make you just decide to
invest in Apple or something you know
when it's really really low and nobody
knows it's ever going to mount anything
things you can't plan that sort of thing
that's accidental for the most part so
anyway uh that's my advice do it do it
uh do it right now really and uh and and
you don't again I'm not a finan advisor
but you don't have to pay anybody to do
this study it a little bit it's it's
very it's not that complicated all at
all some of you are experts on your
phone you can uh you know I everybody
Millennials everybody I mean it's
amazing what they can do on a phone what
you can find and research and do and all
this kind of stuff and and set up
experts well how about using some of
that expertise to investigate like
Fidelity or Vanguard index funds go to
bogleheads there's two or three funds I
mean it's a no-brainer and you you can
you just put them in and not even worry
about it not think about it the market
and I've studied
extensively and most of what I do is
just in like a Vanguard Total Market F
you know just there you go and you can
you can you know in a bond fund I mean
you can you can uh have two or three or
whatever five or six if you want to but
I mean it's so simple it's so simple and
then just forget about it and uh you
don't have to pay somebody a per % of
everything you have why do you think uh
you see all these
ads uh come see us give us a call if you
have uh at least $500,000 to invest or
in your retirement or or 200,000 why do
they why would it matter why they they
want to give Financial advice only if I
have a half a million or I have 200,000
or some specific number that's weird
that's like a a plumber like I call him
up I need to come out and fix something
well I can only come out if you got uh
three bathrooms and or six bathrooms and
a house of certain what I'm going to pay
you whatever you want to charge me per
hour you know what why shouldn't matter
you know or something like that and well
the reason is they want to get your
funds under their management so they get
a percentage of your funds all of it
okay to help you out give you advice and
and buy and sell and and which which
produces fees and all that kind of thing
again I'm not a financial
adviser uh but uh so you can do it
yourself just put them in a phun and uh
let it go okay and don't move them
around don't be selling and buying when
the Market's up and down just long term
long term 30 40 years uh I mean if you
have any kind of job at all right now
and you're in your
20s you can pretty easily have millions
when you're my age and and younger than
me okay that's just a simple fact put it
in the calculator all right I know I
spent a lot of time on that but boy
there is there is no better advice in
that and I wish that I had been given
that advice and it had been beaten into
my head when I was 20
25 wow I was one of my teachers in high
school why didn't one of my math
teachers in economics or in math run
those numbers on the board there were no
calculators right well yeah there were I
guess but but I mean why didn't they run
that for all of us say hey hey Folks by
the way when you get out of high school
and college you want to start investing
and in almost anything that's that makes
sense and and here's what will happen as
it's compounded as it grows 8 to 10% a
year here's how much you can start with
and if you put this amount small amount
in every week or month here's what it'll
be when you're 40 here's what it'll be
when you're
60 but even as dumb as I was my eyes
would have been wow
really you know I can't believe that I
thought you'd be Howard Hughes to have
that kind of money you know so okay got
excited about that didn't I let's shoot
this
22 uh really if you don't ever listen to
anything else uh you've ever heard from
me do that and and I'm talking to young
people but you know if you're uh
whatever 30 40 and you just have not
done anything yet it's never too
late uh because one day you're going to
be an old dude like me and it comes
before you think before you realize and
uh so you know it also shows you what
you're going to be living on you know
when you're 65 70 80 whatever and so uh
if nothing else it ought to scare you
and so there's really two Sid it's a
double-edged sword it's it's a
incredible uh positive thing when you
see what kind of money you could have in
30 or 50 years
uh but it's also a root Awakening uh if
you don't do it you know what it costs
to live right all
right okay here you go 22 great feeling
22 boy a bullseye shooter I tell you all
right Orange 2 L double action
H quick all
right pretty
nice you might see me out with this all
the time now I mean you're really really
might yeah it's like getting a new new
firearm it really was uh yeah I guess
it's like getting a new haird right for
you gals or guys but it's just a it's
just a new a new dress
press uh yeah it's kind of what grips
are really um that's why with a a
vintage gun CT single actions or
something like that uh whatever grips it
has on it are kind of irrelevant to to
an extent now if it has the original the
grips that came on it that's always nice
but people change out grips you know you
the're kind of a personal thing and I
always like if I buy a cold single
action I always like to have the
original grips and then even if someone
has put some different grips on it or I
put some different grips on it uh you
know because I don't know if Colt
offered that thing ever with stag grips
on it did they they might have I don't
know generally wooden grips or the
rubber uh but then people would put stag
or Ivory or whatever on there or some
different wooden grips and that sort of
thing but usually you hang on to the old
grips The Originals I would recommend
you do that uh in case you ever settle
it you know add to the value but grips
are something that people expect it to
be
personalized uh again if if I ran across
a whatever firearm I really really liked
uh old revolver an old one or whatever
double action or single action and
someone had put some different grips on
it that I wasn't crazy
about it wouldn't really keep me from
buying it now and it wouldn't even NE
necessarily reduce the value that much
for me because I'm I'm going to
personalize it probably anyway you know
uh so you know it's not a not a big deal
unlike if uh say it's an old cult single
action and somebody refinished it took a
blue one and re and nickel it or
something you know or I don't know maybe
put some sites on the thing that you
don't like of course a cold single
action has fixed sites but you know so
but but grips that's just a they're
changeable right that's why there's a
screw that's so easily to take them off
okay boy speaking of that we've had fun
this week I tell you uh I I put pictures
on Instagram I got to do that more often
I'm bad about remembering that but um
it's a the real Hickock 45 on Instagram
uh I'll try do better about that and
uh we did a uh
the last single
shot I'd ever sell single shot rifle you
may have seen that picture so you know
we worked on that
also some serious cult single action
Endeavors this week okay so watch for
that I might post that pretty soon and
uh so it's been been fun had out some of
my very favorite firearms and and did
several videos so uh yeah been a busy
week lots of shooting lots of firearms
that I enjoy shooting not many I don't
enjoy I'll tell you today's pretty good
get out a a new favorite revolver right
because of the grips and then a
Winchester Model 92 yeah I as I was
saying earlier the uh the the big loop
levers they are cool
looking
everything but I I shoot like this I put
my knuckle around them and I I wrap mine
if you can
tell if I turn the other way can you I
grab it like that uh and I wrap my
fingers into the inside I don't I don't
do like this put them in inside like a
lot of people do I kind of wrap it like
that you know and
uh I don't think I'd like them either
way no matter how I worked the lever but
uh we get recording yeah but I I just
don't like to feel the big ones even the
uh moderate larger ones I just don't
like them now I understand there's a
couple of Marlins you got the the ones
that are not quite as big as the
rifleman's but they're bigger and if
you're they stainless if you're hunting
out in a really cold and big gloves on
yeah I guess that's when that would
shine but uh unless you have a practical
reason for it be be careful of that you
know I wouldn't just order one of those
with the big loop lever if you're going
to shoot it a lot sight unseen uh gun
unfelt you've not ever felt one you
might not like them you might be like
me pity pity you if you're like me in
anyway right but uh so have you ever
seen The Rifleman up close that rifle
how that they had to speak in a
friendship they had uh two or three of
them uh they were borrowed from I don't
know which museum I've seen them at the
Cody I guess or the NRA Museum in
Virginia but they had them uh traveling
museum at at French one year first time
I'd seen them I guess and uh and then
occasionally you'll catch an episode
with where they'll show a closeup of his
rifle and that I know one of them he's
sitting on the porch there I think the
house and he's he's working on it he
takes the screw he's putting the screw
back in and all this and there's just a
screw that comes up through the you see
through the lever I could do that right
here get my drill out and uh put a screw
through here and there's a screw so it
when it when it comes up it hits the
trigger and makes it fire and then he
loosens that screw so it doesn't do that
I guess but uh so that's how that works
but there's a lot of a lot of what you
call it mistakes you know in in the in
the show if you watch it he
will you know here's the bad guys coming
out in the street well he of course this
is empty but he will he will do his
twirling the thing around you know
bringing it around and uh and then pow
pow pow pow and then then as he's
working the lever it's firing so well
how does that happen you because when he
twirled it around and it went up the
first time uh it should have fired you
know should fire either the screw is in
or in position or not to activate the
trigger it's the point I'm getting at so
what when you watch that series just
keep that in mind the trigger is either
being I mean the the screw is either uh
screwed in and is activating the trigger
or it's not way or the other and some
Shain you get you know whatever they
want both both actions you know uh but
yeah it's very clear the way it's made
just a screw going up through there and
hits the trigger and uh I've been nosing
lately
too uh I don't know what the deal is
that he his gun is not all that much
shorter I guess it's shorter it's kind
of the car Bean
but mine as tall as I am mine will swing
around and
I don't know I'm sit my arm I I I'm not
going to practice it but I noticed uh
and he obviously did a lot of practice
uh as an actor to get that to work is
it's a real rifle it's not a plastic
rifle I don't think the one he's
twirling I have noticed he he does it uh
equally well with either hand if you
noticed that I was think what is he
left-handed no and he'll do it
right-handed and left-handed and I know
he was a professional basketball player
and baseball player he's a very uh he
was a good athlete and all that
apparently he was not only ambidextrous
but he could do the same thing with both
hands yeah so he must have been you know
very ambidextrous uh so pretty skilled
pretty skilled I have to say and that
show The Rifleman is uh really holds up
well boy good great episodes great
writing not a lot of fluff you know
serious action good bad guy real bad
guys uh ran peeken Paul was involved
with it no wonder but that is one of the
best
series uh I think because of that not
not a lot of fluff you know with Bonanza
and Virginia a lot of the other shows it
were more family shows they were meant
for the whole family even Gunsmoke uh
the later uh episodes uh you would have
a a week where you know hos finds a
bride you know or you know something
like that and was kind of silly you know
you know about every third one was you
know something that was okay you know
this is not exactly
gritty um the early gunm
smokes were 30 minutes and if you've
seen those where uh Matt Dylan was
walking up to the graveyard booill as
they open those were I think 30 minutes
in length black and white and those were
more like uh like The Riflemen those
were pretty gritty those were good that
must have been like the first couple of
years years of that series and then The
Rifleman is great uh uh some of those
old black and white series are the best
I think but anyway I digress I digress
but anyway there was a model2 that's I'm
talking about that you know the other
episode the other show um Wanted Dead or
Alive with Steve McQueen uh his gun is a
model 92 you know the cut down one uh he
wears in holster is so cool I've talked
about that but you might have missed a
video that I did out of the two or 3
th000 right shouldn't have and you
should feel really guilty if you've
missed any of them but uh that's a
that's always a funny rig when you watch
talk about Hollywood that is real really
Hollywood uh again I just don't like
those same Mar's legs they're the most
awkward thing I I mean give me any
handgun on the planet before I want a
mayor's leg to try to shoot and handle
and aim hit anything with
um but the funny thing about his as a
cool rig holster and everything is that
there was never a model 92 chambered in
4570 and that's the rounds he has has on
his belt he's got a belt full of
4570s and uh these things they were
never chambered anything even close to
that size uh but it looks good on camera
doesn't it looks really good so most
people would not know notic that or
think anything about it just as I didn't
when I was a dumb kid and I had not
fired a 4570 or owned a model 1892 or
knew what they were chambered in and all
that okay and of course the producers
and the writers uh they assume that most
people would never know the difference
or not enough people would know the
difference to to make a difference we're
going to get like half the potential
audience out there is say well I'm not
going to watch that that show you guys
messed up on your your chambering you
know so everybody knows that the M 92
would not take a big old bullet like
that so that's not a big issue right
Hollywood willing suspension of
disbelief so I'm going to let you go and
I appreciate you watching and uh
appreciate everybody that helps us and
appreciate you supporting the people
that help us and uh keep it going we're
fortunate to have some really good
sponsors
and uh just just good people and uh and
uh the best people though are the ones
watching yeah the smartest right the
very smartest people on the planet are
the folks that come and look up these
dumb videos you do have to look them up
don't you almost I mean the algorithms
are uh they're just not suggesting you
know a lot of gun videos it seems but
that's just the way of the world so uh
just and it probably going to be more
and more that way in the future there's
so many choices and so many platforms
and so many videos and so many things
going on that uh you just have to figure
out what it is you want to see watch the
same on TV you know the shows and you
know and then go go find them just kind
of the way we have to do now and which
is in a way it's good we've all just
been fed you know when I was young
everything that happened on three
channels you know you just sort of fed
then cable comes along about the 80s and
there's all these choices you got to
figure out what you want to go see you
know and it's that way now of course if
you have cable uh you know 500 channels
and all these kind of things and you and
then some new show will come out and
they'll advertise it on several channels
you say well what is that hey that looks
pretty good where the heck is that is
that on Amazon is that on Prime no it's
on some Network you don't get you know
so you got to subscribe to that if you
want to see this show you know and then
three more come out like that and
they're on somewhere you got to where
where do I find that you know so I don't
know it's it's a it's a little too
fragmented to tell you the truth but
that's just the way of the new world and
it's great to have that freedom to
double-edge sword is it and and all
these various uh channels or places
where somebody can uh show something
they can produce something and get it on
there that maybe otherwise it wouldn't
be available ever to anybody you know
like westerns and shows like that uh
that quit showing up on of course
Network or prime time main channels
whatever that means you how long AG go
you got to go find those things even if
they're really good you know but all
right I'm getting to ramble too much I'm
going to let you go it's been good to
have you over here in the woods with me
and again I hope you didn't find any
ticks on you uh it's your own fault on
Sunday morning you should get up and
spray you know put some Avon on or some
de or what whatever it is that you have
discovered keeps the mosquitoes and the
ticks off of you the best and then you
know before you tune in okay cuz they're
around here and sometimes they can climb
right up the tripod to the camera and
they will get to you they will get to
you yep they will so I hope I enjoyed
friendship and
uh if you were there you already know if
I had a smile on my face if I seem to be
enjoying it and I met you there there
you already know and I don't that's
weird I think my brain's getting twisted
life is good
