It is actually starting to cool, thank The Lord, and the nights are starting to arrive just a bit earlier. Soon that superior season will be upon us. Autumn. This reminds me of story from a few autumns past when Rascal had to deal with some ne'er-do-wells raising Cain late one night at the shop. When I got there I found the creature dressed in his best 1800's sleepwear and holding a .45 revolver. "You take the light, i'll lead the way." was all the talk he would allow. He handed me the Humming Meadow Silo Taper Hurricane and deeper into the dark warehouse we went. Given that this was years before Humming Meadow was stocking these I have no clue how he came by it. No, I did not bother to ask. How that evening unfolded is a story, perhaps, for another time. For now I will thank @SummRidge for always supporting us and will say that this week's fun is a Taylor's and Co. Remington Conversion .45colt revolver paired with a lovely Humming Meadow Silo Taper Hurricane Candle holder (will be throwing in a candle too!) I hope all of you have an amazing and blessed week and are looking forward to fall as much as we are! Good luck to all and Keep Going even when it gets spooky!

Rascal found out he got to partner with the beloved & celebrated @RoofKorean7 for this week's giveaway and that varmint has been strutting around the shop with his chest puffed out all morning, lol. We are happy to promote this great example of American resourcefulness and bravery as well as his book Rooftop Korean: Memoir of the 1992 L.A. Riots which is set to release tomorrow, 09/15/2026! Tony said to do it right! So, we are including in this week the BALLISTIC ADDITION of his new book which has both a shot right through the title page but the legend's signature as well! These were very limited and I was very surprised he had one left to offer you fine folks! We could not get Tony to throw in his Daewoo rifle, understable, so Rascal is coming through for you all with the new Harrington & Richardson Retro M16A1 20" 5.56 rifle! Given X has new feelings about our festivities we are asking all the long time folks to inform our new friends of how it all works! Please check out @wargate and wargatebooks.com to make your purchase this week and support Tony! Thanks, as always, to @SummRidge , and all others that help make these possible!

My dear friends, it is with great pleasure that Harvey, Rascal, and myself (with the ever present support of @SummRidge , of course) bring you our first BIG COZY CONTEST! My most beloved season is Autumn, then Winter, Spring, & Summer. In that order. SO, when Ken suggested to our venerable X wholesome poster, @OldHollowTree , that he sweeten up one of our giveaways, and the good man buzzed at the opportunity, deciding to offer up a Humming Meadow mug, I got excited and decided to try and rope in a bunch of wholesome Americana to help us get through this last bit of summer heat and look towards autumn. With great generosity of spirit we, all of us, considered breaking the prizes up and, perhaps, next time, we will. However, they all compliment each other so very well that I simply cannot do it. THERE WILL BE ONE WINNER OF THIS GRAND HONEY POT!🍯 If I were to tag each of our wonderful participants in this post X would see to it that this post got very little algorithmic traction. That we cannot abide. So, I have included their name and handle next to each their items. GO GIVE THESE SWEETIES SOME LOVE! DO THE THINGS! This will run until the following Monday, as always. First, Rascal has for you a Browning AB3 Hunter in .308! If you do not already know how to play along, read the comments and or ask around, our community is kind and will help you out. It is everything you might guess! Love you all, Love this community, and I love a big cozy autumn. Cheers my friend, and a big southern hug. Let the festivities begin.

No. Rascal did not meet the man. However, Rascal thought he was tops. One of the few truly good ones, if you will. I told him it might be in poor taste. Rascal said, he loved the man and everyone else could just get over it. 🤷‍♂️ So this week's giveaway is very much a celebration of and an homage to that good and beloved actor, passionate farmer, and kindly nature loving soul, Sam Neill. Rascal knows the SPAS12 is more in line but, alas, we do not have one. So, even though it is more @prattprattpratt than Sam we will be giving away a Marlin SBL 45-70 govt! To Enter: FOLLOW us as well as our long time sponsor @SummRidge , repost or quote post this post (I know y'all have some good gifs ready), and be sure to ALSO REPLY to this post. Good luck all and thank you for participating with us and helping spread the word! In honor of Sam, get outside this weekend and enjoy the beauty that is all around you, waiting for you. Good luck & Godspeed Mr. Neill.
