  1. You know those "future dwellers" down under. Everything happens earlier down there!
  2. "Some Observations On The Failure Of U.S. Model 1903 Rifle Receivers" From: https://m1903.com/03rcvrfail/
  3. In the mountains above Palm Springs there is a spring next to the highway. In the thirties (CCC) a pipe was installed into the spring on the side of the mountain along with stonework that directed the water flow through the pipe. Locals would take jugs to the spring and fill them up. We would fill up some containers when we were in the area. The water tasted very good and I never heard of anyone getting ill from it. I never saw this spring not running even during the driest times.
  4. The Uberti 30" 1873 musket was made in 45 and 44-40. Supposedly about six were imported to the US. In 2012, we were able to account for five in SASS. Three 44-40's and two 45's. Mine is one of the 44-40's. The Winchester musket was only in 44-40.
  5. I asked where the company was located and received the reply "pho-nix".
  6. I remembered right as Custer and I got out to the mailbox!
  7. Hmm. Wonder what ca will do about all of the guns purchased in ca by former residents? They will waste a lot of time and money sorting that out.
  8. We would also make them but we would put a firecracker in the middle, light and throw!
  9. On a related note, is American Derringer still around? Their website is dated 2011. The street view of the address (below) looks pretty run down though there is a sign in the shape of a derringer outside. I'm curious as I have an American Derringer that I bought in 1999 in 45 Colt that is way off POA at derringer distance.
  10. True. Older M/C's had spring mounted seats and balloon tires to absorb the shock. The ones above have the seat mounted directly to the frame so the shock that is not absorbed by the rear tire goes straight to your back! Even though my '46 Indian has "spring shocks" in the rear, the rear tire will still leave the pavement on uneven roads. Think a segmented concrete freeway. That could be painful without the spring mounted seat.
  11. When I was 5 or 6, we visited my aunt and uncle in Albuquerque. It was so hot that my uncle filled his aluminum (<correct spelling) boat with water and I used it like a kiddie pool!
