1970's-80's Poulans were as good as anything in their era. I often wonder what would have happened if Poulan hadn't become just another victim of Elux/Husky.

Every now and again we would get a calf with a limp from a frostbit hoof.

Still shooting the Taurus 605, it really likes the Lee 358-158-RF lead bullet. My mold drops 'em at 162 grains, I load them with 3.8 grains Hodgdon Titegroup and a CCI primer for 718 fps. This load is shoots right to the factory sights and is very accurate so I'm not gonna change anything.

Somebody must have put a different recoil on it then. Anyhoo, excellent little saw. I think the Poulan top handles that came after that one were not nearly as good.

Those are some of the best small saws ever made. I have the non-countervibe Craftsman version on the wall in my garage as a tribute to my grandpa who had one.

Is that Poulan XXV NIB?

Another snubnose revolver I may end up with is the S&W 638 Bodyguard. I have a 637 and it will outshoot many full size revolvers, at least out to 15 yards. Which is strange because it's tiny, weighs nothing, and has microscopic sights. My grandfather was a jailer for 32 years and always had a...

Why are my ears ringing?

Is that yellow John Deere a twin cylinder?

Wow, sounds like a good deal.

The saw in the title picture looks like a 540 top handle with a rear handle photoshopped onto it.

They're $539.00 new at the shop, just a bit more than a J frame.

Anybody have a Ruger LCRx? I looked at one at the shop and was impressed. Awesome double action trigger, single action was pretty good. Sights are alot easier to see than most snubbies and the front blade can be replaced. I like how it's an old school gun with all the benefits of modern...

Take off a wheel and go to an auto parts store that has a big cabinet with lug nuts of different sizes, probably a really old Napa store.

I dumped the existing fuel in all my saws into the tractor and mixed up fresh 93 octane BP with stabilizer and Husky oil at 40:1. Will try them again when things are a little less frozen. Currently enjoying the fruits of the wood harvest, burning every night. Saves electricity and love the smell!
