We have the Stewart Indian School in Carson City! It's been abandoned and now several buildings are being converted to some City uses. There is a museum. I did some design work there to create some offices. The work was going to be done by Inmates from the prison. The place has a weird vibe to it.
And yes the truth is the religious schools beat the righteousness into the kids. All the schools role was to educate, reading and writing English, and also to make them abandon their language, religion, and "instill" the white culture into them.
Not good places for kids at all.

I also have never used a baffle. I mount the BP container directly to the loading bar.

When we moved to Nevada I found it bit unnerving out on the highways getting passed by trucks pulling 3 trailers doing 80MPH.

For me the issue always was it doesn't account for recoil and target acquisition.

any problems after adjusting the internal passive safety (thingy)?
The Smith changed out the internals to match the originals. No adjustment of the existing parts.

I have a pair I shoot off and on. As a dualist the trigger block thingy was a PITA. I had the guy that did, change the internals to allow the trigger to be touched and hammer pulled. If you shoot two handed I don't know if you can slip hammer them.

There is also the potential to use EMP's as the means to destroy/kill people but leave the area livable. As in buildings etc would be intact. The idea is the loss of food and water, power etc the citizens would soon turn on each other. The enemy can move in and take over.
When I was a kid in Southern California, 50's and 60's, we would do the duck and cover drills. As an adult I realized it was a waste of time.
There was Long Beach harbor/Naval station, El Toro Marine base, McDonald Douglas, Northrup, Norton AFB, March AFB, refineries, you get the point.
A friend later said all you could do was go in the garage, get a can of spray paint, paint an X on your chest and lay down in the driveway.

There's a similar story on YouTube about an aggressive cop who led the department in DUI arrests.
It caught up with him when.
He pulled a car over and said the driver was weaving. Says I smell alcohol get out of the car. Its a kid about 21 or so. Kid denies it but. He takes the field sobriety tests and passes with flying colors. He keeps telling the cop he's on the football team and if he gets caught drinking or doing drugs he's off and loose his scholarship.
Doesn't matter.
Cop gives him the breathalyzer test. He blows 0.0 Cop then says he's on drugs and arrests him. Takes him in. They do a blood draw. Kid is in jail for a day then gets out on bond.
In the meantime the blood test comes back and the kid has nothing in his system.
Goes before the judge, case dismissed. Judge isn't happy with the cop.
The City, the police force and the cop get sued. The case showed a consistent pattern of arrest with no actual DUI. Costs them a ton of money and the cop was fired. Chief also got some sort of reprimand for letting this go on.

Who told you to shut up? I didn’t see anyone tell you that!
After expressing an opposing opinion a poster came back telling me I was wrong and used the acronym ST*U. I watched the 2 videos and there was hardly any "offensive" language in them. I think our skin is getting too thin.

I also will point out an error in my favor or theirs. But, wife went to Starbucks and the amount was$x.xx. She hands the cashier a $20 and the amount of change needed to make it in even dollars coming back. Cashier didn't know what to do. 'Why are you giving me $20 and $.xx? Wife explains. Manager comes over, same thing. Doesn't know how to make change even though the cash register will do it for them. They ended up giving her the wrong amount of change back in her favor. She said something and they both didn't understand. She drove off.

So thats why when I voiced a different opinion I was told me to ST*U. Seems Seems a bit contrary to whats being posted here.

40-65 with no problems shooting it.
I also sold my 45-70 and bought a 40-65. I still use a shoulder pad though.

I have the reverse replacement. PT is tough but if you stick to it you'll recover faster. The reverse changes the geometry of movement in you arm. I can't raise my arm straight up. Or reach behind my back to tuck in a shirt.
It was my strong side shoulder. Shooting SASS was not limited other than,,,,, if I shoulder my shotgun to close to the actual joint it hurt. I had to learn to mount the buttstock closer to my head.
6 years and no other issues.

Have you ever shot Bisley's? The grip is different than a standard Colt/Ruger clone. I had a pair and traded them out. Didn't like the way the grip angle fit my wrist.

I'll get yelled at but.....I don't get the whole powder thing. Someone will ask whats the best powder for a 38 special with a 125 grain bullet for my pistols. And 29 different answers later.
My response has always been, 'if it goes bang shoot it'!
Can we all just assume Trail Boss doesn't exist and we can all move along?

What makes Bodie so great to visit is its a time capsule. The buildings still hav e the furniture, store goods, tools, etc in them. The mill/mine shut down and everyone just left. Walked away and left everything behind.

The prices of things always seem wonky. But a dollar in 1910 would be valued at $33.19 today. So the sirloin steak for a $1.40 is $46.46 today. Yikes.
The average wage was $.22/hour. so the steak would take 6 hours of work. The menu is for rich people.

Can't see a single team pulling anywhere, the wagon wheels are the same diameter front and back, how do they turn?, the first two must be connected because theres no space for a team to pull the first wagon, why does it appear there's someone sitting in the back facing backwards, why does every wagon have loose ropes over the top of the canvas!

As to who shot it down.
Logic would say if its on your property and you don't have neighbors close by you would be it.
15 hours ago, Pat Riot said:air space that WAS your property is no longer your property according to the FAA.
According to the FAA and the courts the air space above your property is not yours. The 400' law is the limitation on how high you can fly a drone.
Here shooting any type of projectile in a congested area will get you a big fine and jail time.

One of the Better Episodes of The Twilight Zone
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
I agree. A wonderful episode. Filled with a lot of emotions. When I retired I felt the same way. After 45 years, what have I done to make a difference?
