[Cleaning up after shooting BP]

I used to use PAM, then switched to Moose milk, now I use Ballihol (Ballistol & alcohol).  Like someone said about hot moose milk, the alcohol evaporates quickly and leaves the Ballistol behind.  This is cap n ball with a ‘73 rifle in 38/40.  I never do any cleaning of any kind during the day at a match.  Sometimes I don’t have time to clean on Saturday night in a busy weekend match.  I may take a couple days (or more) after the match to get around to cleaning.  Usually by Wednesday.  

Now, I’m not saying that I recommend my timing, it just works in my case.  

I’m surprised the alcohol doesn’t breakdown the Ballistol.

[Question about snow]

Really depends on the air temperature. If it’s right around freezing, yes the snow will be “wet.” If it’s in the mid 20s or colder it will be dry and powdery.

I haven’t read any of the books but sometimes “Joe” in the series really ticks me off when he doesn’t stand up for himself. He also needs to remember “reload!”. 

Joe’s A LOT more capable in the novels.

I have read a number of the Joe Pickett series... enjoyable, all.

 

This new TV series is pretty good. Not stellar, but pretty well done.

 

I'm into the 2nd season. Good story, I think the writers might have combined 2 books for this. I hope they do a 3rd season.

 

 

 

Yes, it’s a combination of “Blood Trail” & “Nowhere to Run.”

They call this pistol a Bullpup. I look at bullpups as rifles/carbines. Is it wrong? I don’t know. Is it cool? Heck Yeah! 
If someone called this a “Snubby” I would agree.

Am I seeing clear-chamber flags in the first two photos?

From what I understand, that is a IDF requirement.

[For fans of Joe Pickett]

It looks like Season 2 is based on the novels Blood Trail and Nowhere to Run.
