Per Wiki: While no standard recipe exists, the primary ingredients in modern root beer are filtered water, sugar, and safrole-free sassafras extract, which complements other flavors. Common flavorings are vanilla, caramel, wintergreen, black cherry bark, licorice root, sarsaparilla root, nutmeg, acacia, anise, molasses, cinnamon, sweet birch, and honey. Soybean protein, or yucca is sometimes used to create a foamy quality, and caramel coloring is used to make the beverage brown.[13] LL

Kinda makes you swallow hard, seeing so many primers and rounds of ammo wasted.... LL

Thanks to two pards I now have a bucket load of Schofield brass! Better service than Starline (who has none)! I love the Saloon! LL

And the Atlantic Ocean is now across the street from me...... LL

Well, I'm perplexed, but that's mainly because I have no idea what post this refers to.... LL

What level of humidity is acceptable in a gun safe? LL

I am intensely allergic to cats. If I touch a cat, and then touch my face, my eyes will swell shut. Just being in a house with cats will send me into a sneezing fit. My wife kissed me one night, after she had kissed her parents' cat; my lips swelled to the point that I could not drink without dribbling down my chin. Cats are cute; I just cannot be around them. As for the guy running the cat down; future serial killers often start down that road by torturing and killing defenseless animals. Folks like that ought to be put in a cage with a larger cat - like a tiger. Even up the odds. LL

Bill: You are absolutely correct about the 66; my age is beginning to soften my grey cells. LL

Bill: There were a limited number of so-called "transitional" model Henrys made, featuring a loading gate. They are uncommon, and probably more valuable than would be used as a prop. In all likelihood, you saw "Hollywood Henrys", which were 1873s (which have loading gates) with the forearms removed. LL

I recently moved, and had to leave my reloading bench behind- too big and too heavy to move it. But I now have the opportunity to plan a new gun room, including a new reloading bench; so I have been roaming around web sites and old images I have collected of solid designs. At this point, it looks like I will pretty much duplicate my old bench (4 feet by 12 feet, 4 x 4 legs on the corners and at the mid-point, 2x8 framing under the top), and a double layer of 3/4 plywood, topped this time with Formica. I'm also going to add an L at a lower height, to allow for sit-down loading; as I get older, I need to take the weight off my knees and back, and want to use a rolling padded stool to allow me to move easily between presses and supplies. I also want to include a dedicated computer with an oversized wall-hung monitor, to make it easier to use You Tube, e-mail, and the Wire in the gun room. Which leads me to the need to post a new entry - I'm looking at vault doors, instead of buying a 2nd safe. I'll open a new post below. LL

Forget guns; buy powder and primers! LL

And I'm sure that there are now 750 workers in and around Springfield, one of the more economically depressed areas in MA, who have absolutely no idea where they are going to find an equivalent job. Not much carry over between gun machine shops and "green energy", and I don't know of any current proposals to build a kind of industry in the area that could absorb these folks. Come the next State legislature elections, I hope these folks remember who actually took their jobs away. But they probably won't. There will be ranting against the ravenous capitalists (that has started already, with claims in the paper today that S&W's decision was driven by greed) and finger pointing at the evil lords of death; but in the end, it will be forgotten by all except the families of the workers, who will see their bread earners reduced to minimum wage workers or the long-term unemployed.
