Back in college our Natural History professor killed one on a weekend field trip so we’d have a skin for the mammal collection. A fellow student and I got the privilege of skinning it. How to skin a porcupine? Very carefully. Lots of colorful language during the process..

I reckon Christian is an illegal word for the “news” these days. Political activist is OK. First and foremost Charlie was a Christian.

Oldest is a 10 gauge Albert Greener SXS, probably from the 1880’s. Gonna be an antique roadshow in Sherman, TX next week, I may take it down there, see if they know if it’s real or a fake. Next oldest is a 16 gauge SXS, brought home from France at the end of WWII by my uncle. Then a Colt Woodsman, approx 1949’s vintage. Granddad’ Model 94, made in ‘53 or ‘54. Everything else is modern, or replicas of old guns.

I always like Flint Westwood’s comment about grits; “a bag of grits and some water will make enough thinset to tile a small room.” Anyone else remember Flint? Sure do miss his wit and wisdom around here.

The Villain is the movie WC was referring to with Kirk Douglas as Cactus Jack Slade. Here's a link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HicFYknnQqk

If memory serves, the bullet below the case mouth does not apply to Nagants. I can't quote or post a link, but the topic was discussed a few months ago, and I think the general consensus was the bullet rule did not apply to the Nagant cartridges. Hopefully someone with a better memory will come along and clear it up.

They're definitely different. I had one, used it once at a match. I had made some BP reloads, using a .31 caliber round ball. I was afraid that little 40 grain ball would be very hard to hear on the off chance it actually did hit steel. Turns out, it had plenty of oomph for the spotters, and I shot clean with that pistol. Reloads with my homemade BP or 777 FFg are quite a bit hotter than the factory rounds that I got the brass from. Here's a link to the process I used to reload them: And here's a link to a comparison test between factory, homemade, and 777:

Reminds me of the one about the cat the had it's tail cut off by a car driven by a veterinary doc. Doc reattached the tail with the help of a passerby. But that's as far as I can go with this one. Y'all will have to finish it. If you don't know it ask Sawyer!

I watched one episode. Seems that the hunters have to lay hands on the huntees to end the game. So, if you just locked yourself in your house and enforced Castle Law, you'd have it made.

Just like winning EOT, shoot faster and miss less.

Actually you could make a phone call for a penny, if you had a dollar bill. Fold the bill longways until it would fit in the quarter slot. Put it in nearly all the way, drop a penny in the nickle slot, then pull out the bill. Dial tone!

I've used my Baby Remington before. I swear you could use the hammer spring as an overload for a 3/4 ton pickup. Slow, but fun to shoot.

There's a little guns store/range down in Sherman, TX that on Thursday nights they set up three targets, shooters take turns shooting each other's scenarios with a timer, and scored like IDPA. I've gone down a couple of times, really enjoyed it. Just like CAS, I'm about the world's worst at it, but it is fun. Usually 6 to 8 shooters show up. One night when it was my turn to set up a scenario, I did it so you changed loaded a fresh mag while still having one in the chamber, instead of a slide lock mag change. No one had ever done that, they all seemed to really enjoy it. I've thought about bringing a shotgun to use on a fourth target, but I'd have to ask the leader if it would be OK.

They're never wrong as long as they forecast in percentages.

Looking like it's gonna be an "I don't care" Super Bowl.
