	rkba2nd wrote on Nov 20^th, 2023 at 1:42pm: If in fact huge numbers were killed by disease, the only thing left to confront the problem, would be to curtail the number being taken by other means, primarily shooting, as the only thing we as humans could control. But again, we failed to do so. And we possibly came close to reducing Whale numbers to dangerous numbers very recently. Fortunatly as a species we are not all slow learners. Perhaps we should protect them as well, before it is too late. This is apples and oranges. A pathologist says the buffalo were decimated by disease, not hunters. The whales have been over-harvested by whaling. Clearly two different situations. The argument of doing what we can is exactly what the gun grabbers are saying, we can't control the criminals so we'll go after the everyday citizen who is not breaking the law but we can control.

	portside wrote on Oct 27^th, 2023 at 9:34am: Good question about the trigger, at some point in time the trigger has been changed back to a double set and for what its worth, it works great. I was lucky in that I got the rifle from Bob Carow and Bob done a great job of keeping an entire package of history together about the rifle, Bob, as I remember it has owned the rifle at least 3 times. I think the article I wrote about covering the rifle was in the Journal in the last half of 2020. The article gives all the information about the rifle. You can't miss it, a picture that I took of the rifle is on the cover! portside, I have a similar Rigby Ballard, but unlike the standard Rigbys with single trigger mine has numbers matching DST special ordered on it. Mine is one John Dutcher mentioned in his Ballard book that falls within a serial number range when some Rigby Ballard rifles got a 3 line cast address, although all were forged receivers. Mine has the 3 line address, but is a forged receiver too. Mine is chambered in .40-63 Ballard, and has a deer on the left side, and charging buffalo on the right side. I've always found it humorous to have a schuetzen rifle with a buffalo engraved on the receiver.

	BOB: Re 45-38 I once built a bbl for a 45 which was sleeved with a piece of .30 cal rifle bbl, and chambered similarly to the 45-38. Fitted with a lighter spring, it cycled the action OK, and wasn't hard to make, either. The cases were made from .308 cases. CHRIS

	Bo Clerke at Gem Ranch 1994. This was an honor target painted by Mike Mazza for Schutzenmeister Bo Clerke. We each took a shot at the little targets and Mike wrote our names on them.

	Laramie, Wyoming Territory, October 1868. Photo by A. C. Hull. Following the railroad west, in 1867 the Freunds opened a shop in Cheyenne adding guns and ammo to their repair service. They set up a second store in Laramie and temporary ones in Benton and Green River in Wyoming Territory and in Bear River and Corrine in Utah Territory. They made ammunition in an out-of-the-way place on the Powder River away from settlements. They built a dugout and had a dutch oven fueled by buffalo fat for melting lead and tin. After completion of the railroad, they moved all their business to Denver, but when the slaughter of the buffalo was going strong in 1875 they sold out and moved back to Cheyenne where they made their Freund Improved Sharps.

	That's a much better version of the picture on p.17 of Ballantine's book on the Freund Bros.! Not cropped off like the pic in the book.
