It was Jimmy Doolittle who worked out the B-26 issues. He was a helluva problem solver/test pilot/engineer. His autobiography is a great read.

A great time was had back then! I was playing with Frontier Cartridge, and ya'll were Frontier Cartridge Duelists.
I fear most of my traveling days are about done now, but we really enjoyed the fun while it lasted.
Yup, it was fun! I had just started shooting black powder then. It was a great match.

Abilene/Deadwood Slim, did you perchance travel with KC Colt when you came out?
Yes! And also Noble Paladin.

Next up, start packing a small squirt/spritz bottle of PAM on yer gun cart. Wet a rag between stages and wipe down the Cylinder Face and maybe a little squirt on the base pin/frame join.
BINGO! THIS^

Also, a ‘73 rifle has a crescent shaped butt stock, where the carbine has a shallower curve more like a shotgun. Most prefer the “shotgun” stock, but I prefer the crescent.
Try before you buy.

Could be a state regulation.
When my FIL died in NY in 1979, we had to purchase a coffin, even though he was cremated. State law. T’weren’t no cheap pine box either. Probably a result of the funeral lobby in NY.

The USS Maine (BB - 10) that was launched in 1901 was the second US ship called the Maine. It was part of the Great White Fleet. It was sold for scrap in 1923. As you stated, the first one was sunk, raised and scuttled. There was going to be another USS Maine to be built in WWII but they never built it. The newest Maine is a submarine and is still in use.
Before anyone thinks that I just knew all this, I didn't. When I saw the SDJ's post, I thought the same thing as Slim...so I looked it up.
Thank you. I have a book called The American Steel Navy with high quality photos of the steel ships post Civil War - from the 1880’s to the Great White Fleet. Haven’t looked at it in awhile, so now I’m gonna have to pull it off the shelf.

The USS Maine blew up and sank in Havana harbor in 1898. She was raised and then scuttled off Florida in 1912.
I’m not aware of another ship with that name, so I wonder what ship that might be in the 1919 pic?

We loved shooting with that club!
Me too! Drove from Kansas City to that club in 2009 for “Robbers Defend the Roost”. I became a “Dammit Gang” member then. 😁

I have always said I wanted to get a hold of the engineer who decided to stuff a Small Block V8 into the Chevy Monza...
Are we talking about that POS Monza from the late ‘70s, or the Corvair Monza of the ‘60s?
