    Concord Hymn

    Sung at the Completion of the Battle Monument, July 4, 1837

     

    By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
       Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
    Here once the embattled farmers stood
       And fired the shot heard round the world.
     
    The foe long since in silence slept;
       Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
    And Time the ruined bridge has swept
       Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
     
    On this green bank, by this soft stream,
       We set today a votive stone;
    That memory may their deed redeem,
       When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
     
    Spirit, that made those heroes dare
       To die, and leave their children free,
    Bid Time and Nature gently spare
       The shaft we raise to them and thee.

    The small primer pickup tip is yellow in color, the tip that feeds the primers into the loading tube is blue and I've never replaced those in 2o plus years so I'm confused on why you think you need to place them...

     

    sometimes I would get a primer sideways in the tip--it would never work right after than--a new one installed: back to full production

  3. re:  putting on new blue tips: 

    I just gently put the tip on the tube then put it in the housing and screw on the top--that fully seats the tip

    assuming you are using the primer rod that rides on top of the column of primers?

     

    I have found that one the blue tips get bent I can't use them again--new one always works

     

    clean out the in- and outside of the metal primer cup--looks like yours might have some corrosion or "junk in it.

     

    also make sure the wheel rolls smoothly

     

    best of luck

  4. side trail--I use a piece in the shot section of my shotgun shells, using ½ oz of shot is all.  Two rotator cuff surgeries mean I have to have very light loads.

     

    works like a champ

  5. glad to hear of your good results

     

    mine went from legally not able to drive due to vision to 20/20 and 20/30.  no need for glasses other than safety when shooting and sun when out in the bright Texas sun.

     

    best of luck on the next one--remember the third one is free 😁

    Anybody have a place I can adopt as my new hometown/state?

     

     

     

    come on down to The Republic,  we're Friendly to both folks and guns.

     

    and as I remind everyone:  Even Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin were born in another state (Virginia, if memory serves)  🤠

    It was letting a round advance from the magazine and was keeping the carrier from going up, I could press the round back in the magazine and it would free the jam,  that’s the only pic I have I just finished re assembling the rifle 

     

    Lord knows I'm no expert but the length of ammo also plays a factor in this.  If the rounds are too short, the one ahead of the one on the carrier can come out of the mag tube and jam the works, too

  8. Commandancy of The Alamo  

     

    Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836

     

    To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World-

     

    Fellow Citizens & compatriots-

    I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna - I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken - I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat.  Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch - The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days.  If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country - Victory or Death.

    William Barret Travis.

    Lt. Col.comdt.

    P. S.  The Lord is on our side - When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn - We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves.

  9. here is mine.  Notice I use ¾ oz loads with a piece of foam backer rod to fill up the shot area.  Foam backer rod is found in the weather stripping area of the Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/M-D-Building-Products-0-75-in-x-10-ft-Gray-Foam-Backer-Rod-Weatherstrip-for-Ex-Large-Gaps-and-Joints-19101/328231528

    use the ¾ diameter rod ¾" long.  It extends out the top but is pushed down and inside when the hull goes through the crimping operations.
