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.

I walk a lot of trails and have a trick knee that surprises me occasionally. I made a cane: 1" diameter red oak 35" long with a 2.5" diameter ball on one end. It has enough weight to punch surprising well, rather than swinging it. NC law: a 6" or longer fixed blade cannot be concealed, even if you have a ccw permit. Unconcealed must be mounted on the waist or under the arm, visible from front or back (must be on the side). Tucked appendix style or small of the back does not count as visible enough.

I have used Universal for medium to stout loads in .45 ACP with good results. I have tried Universal for .45 C but had better results with Reddot for CAS loads.

Yep Forty. That comes from the first cavemen who took a rock for pounding and added handle to make an axe. The latest version is the selfie stick.

He ain't missed many meals lately. It does bring new meajing to the term potty mouth.

We live in interesting times. Eight years ago, many felt like the country had moved on without them and would have been happy to secede. Different group in 2017. I do not believe that any state could secede, but the activity around sure shines the light on those who are rebelious.

The news is aboil with movement within California's state legislature to pass a bill removing the state's acknowlegdement of the US Constitution as binding. The purpose or this bill is to make the first steps towards seccession. I guess may answer the question posted about a week ago about shipping guns to California.

I posted a Buckmark in decent condition on one of the free sites for a price that I did quite a bit of research on to justify. Five emails in the first 30 minutes, all with lowball bids. One responder said 'I'll buy it for the right price.' I told him that the posted price was the right price and that I had others interested already. He came back with a lower offer. Idjuts!! It reminds of a gunshow conversqtion that I saw and laughed at: New in box Win 70 cards says MSRP $750, for sale $700 Idjut offers $600 to the seller Seller says no, $725 Idjut says the card shows $700 Seller says $700 to others, $725 to you Idjut says okay, $675 Seller says $750 Idjut says I am confused. You keep going up on the price. Seller just smiled and said You don't take hints very well. Idjut finally walked away no smarter and without a nice Win 70.

I have bought or sold about two dozen guns on Gunbroker. Decent site. People know that it costs you to sell. Only about 10% of my sales contacted me with a lowball. I have bought or sold six guns on Armslist. It is free. It does not walk a seller through building their post the way that GB does. Ever single sale had more than a few lowballers.

Fast, I was a 60s-70s kid. Jean came in different lengths but the choices were KMart, Toughskins (Sears brand) and the Levis/Lee/Wranglers for the richer kids. I wore Toughskins and knew that they would get handed down to younger brothers. There was no loafing for us. School, work (yard or farm) and baseball filled our days. Calling my parents would have likely meant being someplace I should not have been. We just figured it out and stayed out of trouble, mostly.

Corn cob media without any additives makes my brass shiny. My goals are to keep my dies clean and make it easy for brass pickers to find my empties.

The Monza, the Vega, the Pinto, the Gremlin, the Dart and very junky Japanese imports. Those were the days of the $250 car. Gas shortages and intensifying environmental concerns and the largest luxury cars of all times.

Powdercoating usully requires curing for 10 to 20 minutes at 350F. Pure lead melts at 680F. Excessive curing temps could cause issues with the lead. Just sayin'....
