Edison and Ford
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Ok, I have to be that guy. Edison didn't invent the light bulb. There were several inventors trying to create a dependable long lasting bulb. Edison through experimentation finally found a filament that wouldn't burn out in a vacuum. He then patented it and began production. -
Air cooled?

Great movie, many really didn't like it. -
Probably safer to drink than the water.

Assassination attempt
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Tell Sackett SASS 18436's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Most any rifle in good shape could hit that size target at that distance. We shoot an 10"X8" Ram silhouette at 200 yards with 22's. -
We have a shooter, Jasper Agate, who shoots Frontiersman and FCD. Much easier as a dualist. He sometimes shoots Colt Dragoons with full charges. BOOM!

How thin was the armor on the Grant? A lot of small holes.

It was English Bob or Bill. He has since retired. I don't now anyone else that can do it.

I own a pair in 44-40 with 7" barrels, blued. Mine have had the internals re-worked to allow slip hammering. Also makes shooting them dualist easier. Finger can stay on the trigger. Getting ready to sell them.

when flying extremely long distances
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
They don't fly due East. They head towards Greenland which is weird but a shorter route. I flew a 747 from LosAngeles to Berlin, non-stop! Your ticket should reflect any stops. -
We shoot 22 silhouette. We shoot 50/100/150/200 yards. We buy 22 ammo loaded for the Olympics. We ran it through a chronograph. They varied not more than 4 fps. But they are $18.50/50????????????????????

Great funny, funny movie. -
WTB 40-65 brass. Found some, thanks all!
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Hoss's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
if you're worried about overall case length the Starline 40-65 brass comes about .015" short. They even have a warning note on the page. -
More on Costner's latest Western
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Maybe it's old age but......more and more movies and TV series have so much going on with so many characters and story lines you need a notepad to keep thing s straight. That and one season ends and the next isn't for another year or 2. You have to go back and re-watch it all too know what happened before. Oh, and a season on TV used to be 20 episodes, not 8! -
Changes, Ranting, and Reloading on the Road
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Bisley Joe's topic in SASS Wire
You are not along. Our daughter went to university and got her degree in education. Came out and started substituting grades 3 to 12 for experience and to select a grade. Exact same thing happened to her. She left and went onto something else. I used a single stage RCBS for 5 years loading black. Slower but the outcome is great. And you can't overload a BP round. -
Thanks, I'm getting out of cowboy and selling stuff.

Whats the going price for a Johnny Meadows SKB?

Coach gun barrel length: 20" or 22"
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Tall John's topic in SASS Wire
When I bought my SKB and had it slicked up I asked why 22" barrels. He said, opens faster, stays open, and cocks the hammers confidently. -
Take THAT! High School English Teachers!
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
1968 Senior year of HS English Class. The teacher announces that we will be reading Shakespeares Hamlet. An audible groan followed. But it ended up being the most remembered and enjoyed moment of "English" I ever experienced. Our teach was a kind man who also taught drama so.... He started off by explaining the time, the language and the play. He'd have us read a portion and then the magic. He would read it out load in very loud voice with enthusiasm and animation. As an actor would. He would stop and explain what the reading and the words were, old English saying. He also explained the characters and what was happening. I anticipated each day. I still remember most of the 'too be or not too be', soliloquy. -

When people say they want a single provider healthcare system from the Fed's just refer them to this fiasco? Private company did it faster, and cheaper. Let's hope the doors stay closed on the way down.
