Why would they be. Keeping them that way is “the black powder community normal” as one guy I met said. I find it damned annoying and that’s the kind of thing that makes it hard to attract new blood into the hobby / sport / fun of blackpowder guns. I know it was a turn off for me.

Looks like a Navy “Phalanx” without the shroud on it. I never got to see one in action. They were installed on my ship after I left. I have only seen films and videos of them in action.

What you need to do is go online to all the sellers of caps and get set up with “Back in stock” notifications. When you get a notification, don’t hesitate, just buy. Waiting for a better deal means “no deal”. Well would you look at that! Found some using AmmoSeek. @Whitey James you can trust these sites. AmmoSeek vets their sellers. https://ammoseek.com/reloading/primers?ikw=Percussion caps Edited misspellings

He goes back to his Mob and tells them all about “the weird animal that swings and only squeaks as it swings back and forth and how it can take kicking and punching over and over and we should all go over there tomorrow!”

Harumph! I agree

I buy these for my pellet smoker grill. https://a.co/d/8iNZDWO For my Weber charcoal grill I use a Weber wire brush. It’s lasted 4 years and still works. https://a.co/d/4VEtOZr

Rest in peace, Mr. Wilson. Thank you for great music and great memories.

I is.

It was great! Beautiful day at the range. Sunny, 80, light breeze, I had the range to myself except for when the owner showed up to shoot his new Browning lever gun in .218 Bee. What a cool little round. I had never seen one before. He let me shoot it. I shot 3 rounds and had 2 hits at 100 yards on a 10” plate with iron sights. Now, of course, I want one. I dialed in the little 1-4 power scope I put on my PC Carbine. 17 rounds in 2-3” groups at 50 yards doing quick fire. (1 round under a second until mag empty) Not shabby. I did some ammo testing with my new Sig Sauers and I think now I have 3 different loads these guns like. Only problem I had was a darn near dropped my bike leaving the range. There’s a steep gravel road hill and going down on a street bike can be a bit hair raising. I was rolling down in 1st gear using the rear brake when I hit a stone about 3” in diameter and my front end jiggled then slid to the right. I countered but made the mistake of tapping the front brake and Whoa Nelly it was on. 3 seconds of gymnastics keeping me and the bike upright but I did it. Whew! That was close!

Okay. I am ready for the day. I now have a headache. see y’all later… Riding my bike to the range to kill paper and bang steel.

Perhaps the lady at the phone company was listening to that as she told me the time. It was nearly 60 flippin’ years ago.

WTH kind of train was that? FKCGC, glad you and your lady had a nice afternoon.

That’s a nickel a piece for primers. Not bad at all these days. Thanks Alpo

It probably was WWV. That sounds very familiar.

Crap game. “Craps game” sounds stupid.

I have always been a clock watcher and I have always been fascinated by time. Time travel, time changes, time in general. As a kid I synchronized all of clocks and my watches using the phone number you could call for the correct time to the second. It was a good watch that only lost a couple of seconds a month. Now I have atomic time in my hands and everywhere I go through my smart phone. Here’s a screen shot of my Atomic Time app. I keep it simple.

In the 70’s I loved Hard Rock. I also liked Funk. I had one friend that also liked Funk. He and I would hang out and listen to Parliament, Sly and the Family Stone, Kool and the Gang. Good Times. Rest in Peace, Mr. Stone. Thank you for some great music.

Rest in Peace, Mr Clapp. And Thank You.

Regardless of the name it can be BAAAA’d

I go to Walmart here weekly. It’s definitely one of the better Walmarts I have been in.

Thanks Marshal.
