Old Man Graybeard

On the Remingtons...I have found that packing the cylinder pins with red Mobil one synthetic grease helps keep the crud out of them and the cylinders turning well. I have shot the equivalent of a six stage match without having to clean anything

And this week there might not be no one in the office...might all be at Land Run

About 14.75 foot pounds torque. N.m is Newton meters...metric torque. First I have heard of having to torque an oil filter...usually tighten til touching and then half to three quarters of a turn...or as I do...until I can't turn it by hand.

1 locking lug or 2...they used both on the 100

One of the best things they have come out with is a 12 gauge jag. I use about 1/4 blue paper shop towel...spray the barrels with PAM...let them soak a bit...soak the piece of blue towel with PAM...start working the towel...folded up on the jag...up and down the barrel...progressively farther each time...usually one or two passes and the barrels are clean and shiny. I am mostly using either APP or real black and it works well with either

Make sure you get up and move around every little while...even if you don't feel like it...force yourself. My son had it back when...he felt so bad he didn't get up and move around...he ended up with the covid pneumonia and was in intensive care for a while. He thinks if he would have gotten up and moved around some...he might not have gotten the pneumonia

I had a package from VTI when they were still in the northeast...It made it so far and just disappeared. The local post office could not find a trace of it anywhere. VTI sent replacement of what they had in stock...and several months later...the original package arrived. It was soaked with a kind of oily substance...but otherwise was in good shape. Everything inside was fine. The only thing the local post office could come up with was that after it was contaminated...it was put in quarantine until they figured out what it got contaminated with. But they couldn't figure out why it just plain disappeared like it did

Prayers up for Hershey Barr and his family and friends

I haven't been brave enough yet to load 44-40 on one of my progressive loaders...just been using a single stage. Using RCBS Cowboy dies with the sizing plug from 44 special expander. And using a Lee factory crimp die...been working well...but I haven't loaded any smokeless yet for 44-40...been all APP and probably going to go to some real black

I am too old and slow to be a serious threat to the top shooters...but MY goal is to have fun and not get a match dq...so far it has worked. Just remember...it's just a game...and supposed to be fun...Even a bad day shooting is better than a good day at work....unless maybe when it's your last day at work before retiring...

There are some ranges that have a smaller shot size limit than the SASS rule book. I believe there a couple that no larger than #6 shot and one at least that states no larger than #7 1/2

I have seen several Indians converted to trikes...most were excellent jobs. But I don't believe Indian has come out with a factory three wheeler yet...I believe if I were them...I would. They have been good sellers for Harley Davidson

The last time I qualified I didn't want to be thought of as a wimp...so I used a long slide 1911...10mm. I qualified better than most did. Instructor just shook his head

Little Rock Arkansas...can't remember the numbers...Bleaker Street at night

I drove for 47 years...over 4 million certified safe driving miles. I would like to try driving one of the road trains...but NOT with a cabover...have to be a conventional. I hate cabovers
