  1. I buy locally only. I’m within 20 miles of 5 gun shops , 30 miles from 2 big local sports stores. No shipping for me, I never buy online unless it’s something I really want on SASS Classified. The last gun I bought online was 3 years ago from Barleycorn here on the SASS CLASSIFIED. It was a Taylor’s 1873 rifle.

    Sure, no problem.

     

    Heritage arms 22 $160

    ruger 10/22 $270

    maverick 88 12ga. $269

     

     

    Didnt say he was after centerfire, and I sure hope he didnt expect to get top shelf.  But it can be done.

    Good thinking, never thought of .22’s but there’s a lot of options in addition to yours.

    Ruger Wranglers a pair for $600.00  Henry Lever action .22 $400 and you have $200 left over for ammo 

  3. Fed ex does some deliveries for USPS sometimes. In fact there’s a FedEx delivery post box right outside my post office. I don’t think USPS cares, they have more problems to worry about like losing billions every year! 

  4. This dead guy got out of his car in traffic and went up to the killer’s car in a fit of road rage. The killer shot him, was he in fear of his life? Sorry but the dead guy instigated this situation. So his sister wants to play on the jury’s heartstrings! This is a total bunch of crap!🙄

    Our Alberta government is doing what it can to protect gun owners  but it's the tar away  federal government that is doing everything they can to wreck us.

     

    Here is a well worn pair of 41 colts. But the $24,000 price wrecks it for me.

    So none of you guys shoot originals? 

    I saw a 49 colt with a spaghetti replacement cylinder on it.

    I've seen original 58 Remington that was rebarreled and to me it looked like it had its cylinder replaced.

    But I've read online about how new spaghetti cylinders won't fit 73 colts.

    Getting replacement parts is the biggest problem with these old guns

    The closest I have to an original is a second generation 😂

    That just scares the hell out of me.

     

    What will be allowed next and will it be accepted as real?

     

    Can someone be convicted based on this crap if it is seen by a jury?

    Exactly what my thought was! Not only questionable in court but it’s downright creepy!😳

    Wow!! 🤩 I would think that would be some kind of an interference call. Maybe call the ball dead? Hmm….interesting to say the least!

    Often in the early balloting, the cardinals vote for someone who doesn’t have a chance while they all try to get a feel for the mood of the conclave. Once in a while that guy that didn’t have a chance wins. We will probably never know….

    He was very close to Pope Francis and I think the Cardinals took that into. account. Apparently they really loved Pope Francis. That’s MHO. Whatever, I wish him well.

    That's why I save it for weekends or an occasional evening treat.   Times when I can slowly savor and really enjoy it. Drinking good coffee out of a metal cup with a plastic lid seems a waste. 

    I don’t leave the house until 9-10. I’m up at 6:00 and enjoy my coffee out of my Steinway mug! I’m semi retired so I have that luxury. I get what you’re saying.

    I used to do that.  But for weekday coffee, or what I put in my travel cup for work, the premium price of it just isn't worth it.  If it's on special I might pick some up for "Weekend Coffee" or an evening treat. Otherwise it's either Folgers or Yuban.

    My coffee friend told me that Folgers or any of the popular coffees were roasted and ground months ago. If you buy the beans from the more expensive coffee brands it’s fresher. The extra cost doesn’t bother me plus it’s my little present to myself to drink really good coffee everyday. I have about 3 cups so its not going to break me!

  11. Wait are these new episodes ? I thought I seen all of them. If it’s on Paramount plus I won’t see it. I’m not getting sucked into paying any more than I already pay! 

  12. Okay Beans or ground? I buy beans and grind up enough for a couple days. A pard of mine was in the coffee business and said beans are fresher than ground coffee because it’s been ground months ago and packaged.

    How did they protect their factories from sabotage?   Or even their supply lines?  There had to be train loads and many freight wagon loads moving all the time. It would be interesting to find a keg of power to compare with new powder. 

     

    They didn’t always protect their ammo and guns very good remember reading about JOHN BROWN’S raid on Harper’s Ferry? Of course that was in 1859 just before the war started. He got caught and was executed but he raided the armory with only 21 men. He almost succeeded!!

    Packaging tape or duct tape or a lint roller to lift the bulk of the spill out of the carpet.  Fluff the carpet with your hand to raise the deep seated particles and keep lifting it out with tape until you don't get any more.  Then vacuum.

     

    You aren't the only cowboy who has spilled black powder, trust me.

    This is a great idea ^^^^
