I wish that I could say it is my original Win 1892 rifle in .38 WCF, but stovepiping a round in too many stages prevents me from shooting it often. My Marlin .357 and .44, both microgroove guns, see the most use, but I do shoot an original Win 1873 rifle in .32 WCF once in a while.

I have used ddg for over ten years. My other pages stay very clean, without ads based on my goobernet searches.

Signed up Tuesday! I got a stage in the pickin list.

Very very cool. The user would still have get a charge of priming powder in the frizzen pan, but this looks quick to use.

Looks like a boomerrang with a trigger. Wouldn't be neat to know what John M Browning thought of such a thing.

Null, I would expect 2 misses and a P if I was the shooter. That tenth pistol round was a miss (failure to engage the pistol target) and a P. That tenth rifle round was a miss since the shooter did not engage where the KO would have been. I have seen poor stages where shotgun splatter or rifle/pistol richochettes caused a KO to fall. The shooter is expected to shoot where the tatget should be.

.223 rounds likely leave all of the original metal attached but bent out like a flower. If the petals were heated and bent back into place, it could either be welded or filled with bondo or liquid weld. I would tend to go with the JB liquid weld.

You do not need a double barrel shotgun to start. Any single shot 12, 16 or 20 gage with at least an 18" barrel and conventional buttstock is SASS legal, even if it has an ejector. A used H&R 12 gage can likely be found in a closet, safe or for about $100-$125. With practice, a good shooter can be middle of the pack on any given Saturday. Going 'budget' on a rifle is always bad news. Ask your family and friends if they have a Marlin in a pistol caliber. These gune were made for decades and can be good guns. Other less expensive but viable rifles are Rossi 92s. It aint a '73 Uberti, but a lot of shooters do well with them. A shooter can likely shoot a single pistol at local matches. The shooter would gave to unload five empties and load five more live rounds on the clock, but I have seen it done. This allows the shooter to get into and learn the game earlier. I bet that you get multiple offers to use their pistol as a second shortgun.

I believe 7.62x54R also. Fun until you had to change drum out while flying in 1917 at 10k feet in you Sopwith Camel with Jerry around in his Albatross or Fokker.

In the end, they get boiled and the silk is pulled off the cocoon. It takes about 30,000 cocoons to make one silk jacket.

The moral(e) of this post is that you can never please management. If you actually did please them once, the bar is now raised to a completely unachievable level.

If there is a conspiracy theory that may be real and at the same time cataxlismic, it is that all of this internet thingy is tied together by a limited number of people/ organizations. Alpo, I experienced the same and quit FB about a year after I joined. Contents of my hotmail messages might mention a company that would then show up in scrolling ads on news sites and be sources of invitations on FB. This happened with two classic auot finance groups and a music instrument company. Freaky indeed! I am no longer a FB user. I use duckduckgo instead of google.

I have a 1970 or 1972 Hornady reloading manual that I remwber seeing light recoil loads of 158 grain jacketed aoft points in the .35 Remington. I remeber buying this book from a used book store and my youngest brother using the .35 Rem at the same time. My favorite Hollyweird gaff is done by all kinds of actors, including the Duke, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Kevin Coster and James Arness: Pull that SAA, cock it, decide not to shoot, lower that hammer thingy onto a live round No one ever spins the cylinder so that the firing pin is not on a live round.

I have been a student of Mr. Bonaparte. He was an interesting man, but I cannot say that I am an admirer. He saw battles in the simplest sense of force, but often defeated foes with the threat of a flanking move. He understood artillery and movement of troops like no one in his times. He knew the power of feeding his troops and keeping troops healthy. He provided the ignition to a European powder keg of people ready to rise against old fuedal systems. He had no understanding of the navy and depended too much on the admirals who had different ideas of battle. His name can be attached to the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and indescribable upheaval of the lives of millions. His return to power and final defeat are beyond any writing or movie making efforts.

Virginia signs state "Speed limits enforced by aircraft." I always imagined a P-38 ready to strafe the next car going 80.
