And only about 10% of this profession.
Reminds me of a driver I saw about 40 years ago. Pulled up on the street, looked at the loading dock, I pointed, she nodded, and whipped that 53' into place in one shot, at a dock that a lot of guys pulling a 28 had to take 3 or 4 shots at.
When she stepped out all the crew had to pick their jaws off the ground. About 5 foot tall, wavy blonde hair almost to her waist, built like Dolly Parton, white eyelet midriff blouse, sky blue short shorts, nude hose, and white strappy sandals with about 3 inch heels.
I saw just the opposite. Purty little gal pulled up in the street, walked back to the dock, and asked if one of US could back the trailer in for her. My boss was MAD, but he did it just because we needed the load. THEN he called HER boss. We never saw her again.

i remember sherlock holmes being able to identify the source of cigarettes by the ash and tobacco left in the ash tray in a few of his episodes as well ,
1 hour ago, Alpo said:In one of the early stories he mentions having written a monograph on how to tell the difference between cigarette ashes.
He mentioned it several times in the original stories, and I remember seeing in one movie, (it was years ago, so I don't remember WHICH movie), he had some device "smoking" about two dozen cigarettes at a time with ashtrays to catch the ashes for comparison.

Uh, Pards, we need pictures…
Okay. Look at the screw right under the barrel on the front of the frame. Circled in red. Instead of the spring loaded pin we're used to, it has a screw that holds the cylinder pin. That's what makes it a Black Powder Frame. The standard screw is smaller than the one shown, and the head sits pretty much flush with the frame. The bottom picture shows the standard screw. Of course, being an SAA screw, you don't want to use a regular screwdriver on it. so unless you want to carry a Gun screwdriver, hollow ground, you can't tighten that screw. The larger, knurled head screw shown here is what I now have, so that I can tighten that screw by hand.

Watched the movie a couple of months ago.
I thought they were original.
I think they were cartridge.
I'd bet that they used cartridge conversions for shooting scenes. They did so in "Josey Wales", too. But the picture Alpo posted of the boxed set clearly shoe nipples on the cylinders.

SABRE,
If the screw that retains the Cylinder Base Pin is in direct contact with the Base Pin, it is NOT seated fully in its bore and will NOT stay tight without LocTight. With EITHER screw, dress down the end of the screw lightly until it seats fully and the Base Pin will still turn.
You might still consider a tiny drop of BLUE LocTight for a little "insurance."
I haven't worked on it yet, but after a 50 round range session, the screw was a bit loose, but not to a point that it would fall out, I just want the screw with the bigger head so that I can occasionally snug it up. I'll look into dressing it though. Thanks for that.
2 hours ago, Alpo said:If you loctight that screw in it makes it real damn hard to remove the cylinder.
My thought exactly. After shooting my guns, I clean them, which pretty much requires removal of the cylinder pin and the cylinder itself. Loctite would make that more difficult than I would like, though I HAVE considered a drop of clear nail polish to hold it in. That holds a screw in place, but is easy enough to remove when needed. Since I got the screws, I'll try them first.

I'd just like to give a shout out to one Sarah Hennessey at Cimarron Firearms. I have a couple of their pistols with the black powder frame that uses a screw in the front of the frame to secure the cylinder pin. The screws in those guns are a small screw requiring a specific screwdriver to keep tightened during an extended range session.
When new, the guns also come with a second screw with a larger, knurled head that can be hand tightened, but since I had got my guns used, they didn't have them. I wanted them, but the usual places, (Numrich, Brownells, Midway) don't have even a listing for them.
So I contacted Cimarron directly. Sarah responded and told me that they stocked them and that I could order them through her. I did so, but when they showed up, they were the smaller screws that I already have. I emailed her again explaining the problem. She promptly shipped two of the correct screws at no further charge, telling me to just keep the others.

That Flash and Dale?
I know that when the Black powder gets ignited it will produce its own oxygen to burn. But how are they going to touch it off in a vacuum?
Electric match.

Better than that...
(The Center Square) – Republicans in the U.S. Senate and House introduced the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which President-elect Donald Trump has said he will sign.
U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, both Republicans from Texas, Thom Tillis, R-NC, and Chuck Grassley, R-IA, filed the bill in the U.S. Senate, joined by 40 cosponsors. U.S. Reps Richard Hudson, R-NC, and Nathaniel Moran, R-TX, filed the companion bill in the House, which has more than 120 cosponsors.

Better pic of the pistols than that IMDb shot.
https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ohgYEKmDvL4/Ted06FVf_6I/AAAAAAAABBg/W4GWHyB25sk/s1600/00+colt+4.jpg
Appears that one is a Walker, (top), and one is a Dragoon, (bottom). Actually, the top pistol looks like a Dragoon with a Walker gripframe on it.
Compare the two with this pic from a Guns Magazine article:

No, but Stenbridge Arms was pretty adept at making dummy guns that would. A close up would show you that they weren't real, but a quick look would pass.
Almost every time a character throws a gun, or hit someone on the head, it's a rubber gun.

I watched about half of one episode. Too much Louis L'Amour I suppose. There were so few decent women in the west that you treated them nice and you spoke to them politely.
So anyway, the partial episode of Deadwood that I watched the guy seem to be unable to speak to anybody, including women, without F this and S that.
In a normal Western I would agree with you. But from what I remember, people more informed about the real Deadwood than I, said that Al Swearengen was VERY much like that. He was a mean, rude, violent man. Though it didn't show it in the show, he was married in real life. And if he were alive today doing what he did back then, the cops would be at his place for domestic violence calls several times a week. He didn't treat the women that worked for him any better, either. They were so much merchandise to him.

Conceivable that he was shot after death or that the gun shot was not fatal (hey, it happens).
Yeah, but the Coroner should be able to figure that out. That's his job!

I think that it would depend on how your policy is written. Something that is part of the car, (radio, for instance) would be covered if stolen. But a toolbox would not unless it was a specific item on the policy. Just because it was in the car and damaged by the accident might not matter.

I've watched 3 episodes and I'm sorry but I'm not impressed. Too many snide remarks back and forth from him and his daughter. It's really kinda boring to me! Maybe it'll get better but I think Tim is handcuffed by ABC. When Last man standing went to Fox it was great!
I agree somewhat. To be fair though, the first season and about half the second of "Last Man Standing" weren't as great as later seasons. I think that it needs a little time to get it's footing and find it's voice.
You'd think that ABC would have learned from "Last Man Standing" NOT to screw with a good thing.

Those of you that were fans of Tim Allen on "Last Man Standing" will certainly remember that in the final episode, his 1956 F100 was stolen. On Tim's new show, "Shifting Gears", the truck makes an appearance.
In "Shifting Gears", he runs a mechanic shop that specialises in restomodding classic vehicles. He tells his guys that the truck was stolen from a guy in Denver, made its way to them, and since he knows the guy, he's getting it back to him.

I like how she made it "the people's moment" with her 'Help me out here" line. Americans helping Americans. Beautiful.3 minutes ago, watab kid said:i actually was expecting it as well , but as it worked out it was even better than i expected - she is a great performer
You could tell that she was waiting for music to start. But when it didn't, she just picked it up and ran with it.

Bees around here have a barb on their stinger. They stab you and when they pull back the stinger stays in you and it pulls their guts out. They have one sting and then they die. Wasps can sting you multiple times, and yellow jackets can sting you multiple times, but not bees. With them it is one and done.
Right, those are honeybee's.

Maybe y'all got a different critter out where you live that you call bumblebees.
Around here they live in a hive, up off the ground. You're not going to hit them with a hay baler or whatever it is you shred a pasture with.
Yellow jackets - oh yeah. Bumblebees?
Yellowjacket, a type of wasp. Bumblebee.
These aren't exactly to scale, the bumblebee is smaller than the yellowjacket

Reminds me of the gals at the gym getting mad that guys are watching them work out in leggings and sports bras. If they didn't want guys looking, they'd be wearing baggy sweat suits.
