  1. I was able to use my Broken Shell Extractor  to work it's magic in a pards .45 Colt rifle. (First time I used it since I bought it from Brownells  a few decades ago. Lucky I guess!)

    When she went to look for one, there they were: GONE Seems ECHO has gone out of business.

    We had a look on line but didn't notice and listing for the popular calibres we run into.

    I found one selling a .45-70 extractor for Springfields and my M1 Garand, but that was it for the calibres I use. 

    Are there any firms selling .38/.357, , 44-40 and .45 Colt extractors out there?

  2. The three posses' I shoot with, Ruff's Regulators. The posse with no name at Grenville and The Square Circle Wranglers all produce a match book for monthly matches, although one has downsized their booklet, ( 5 stages) to a single sheet, printed both sides and folded.

    my question is where are the sources for all of the "news sources" these days ? i knw they dont fact check , but fats the source to start with ???

    The "Sources" can be anyone with an axe to grind, true or false, or any bit of information, taken out of context or misunderstood.

    Any "Fact Checking" can be a quick phone call to someone far enough up the ladder from the "Source's" starting reference point that it will be impossible for the person questioned for comment to find out anything in the time available to respond.

    This can then generate the famous "No comment was made by press time!"

  4. The Snitches objected to the term, deemed it derogatory and formed a union.

    Once unionized, they decided "Snitch" was indeed an objectionable word and hired consultants to research the matter and come up with a non-offensive descriptive word to describe themselves and their members.

    After a number of years, several progress reports and a few million dollars, funded from dues, it was decided by the union executive to put the matter to a vote, that thereafter, they would be referred to as a "SOURCE" "UNNAMED SOURCE" or "A SOURCE CLOSE TO ......)

    The voting was administered and the votes tabulated by an independent accounting firm and the results presented to the Executive.

     

    And now you know.
