    Best way to pay with out paypal

    Frankly Post Office money orders are a pain to use. First, a trip to the bank to stand in line to get the cash (amount of the transaction usually exceeds the daily ATM limit). Now drive to the Post Office which is the other end of town in the downtown area where parking is scarce. Then another...

    BEST and WORST Actor in a Role of Ours?

    Stan Laurel was equally loyal to his partner Ollie. Although those that knew them both say they were close friends, they only occasionally socialized together but the two men rarely worked apart. Stan Laurel was devastated by Ollie’s death. During those last years of his life he continued to...

    BEST and WORST Actor in a Role of Ours?

    The Kentuckian was a 1955 film staring Burt Lancaster and set in the 1820’s. Lancaster and his young son make a move from Kentucky to Texas and run into trouble along the way. The Fighting Kentuckian was a 1949 film staring John Wayne and Oliver Hardy. This was one of only a very few times...

    Gun Broker ?

    I’ve made 25-30 purchases on Gun Broker over the years and all but one went off without a hitch. Even the one problem was not so big a deal. I purchased a name brand AR as advertised by the buyer and it turned out only the lower was the name brand. The upper was from another manufacturer that...

    BEST and WORST Actor in a Role of Ours?

    The old classic movies from Hollywoods Golden Age (1930’s - 1950’s) are the best and nothing recent really comes close to any of them. Here are four favorites. If you haven’t seen them you should check them out. Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) with Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert. Directed by...

    Goex, back in business

    I’ve gotten some fantastic buys of ammo, powder, and reloading components at the estate sales of horders (people that have more than they can possibly use in their lifetime). I myself try to keep about a 3-4 year inventory of what I use regularly in normal times., and will keep an opportunistic...

    Unloaded muzzleloader at the range?

    Luckily, the one club I shoot at has a fair number of black powder shooters and usually I’m not the only one with a flintlock. Most of the RO’s shoot muzzleloaders themselves and are aware of what it takes to clear our rifles. They will usually give a two minute warning before calling cease...

    Coyote Skull

    The skull is definitely some species of pig. The flaring canines and the flat occipital region from the dorsal view shown are a dead giveaway. Also the way the nasal bones stick out and come to a point is another indication. From the one top view picture provided and no scale on the skull to...

    Lee molds, why I like them.

    I’ve been casting my own for about two years now and have 5 different Lee molds. They are fairly inexpensive and are easy to use. They heat up quickly and all have worked well with no problems.

    Need some help getting started

    Best thing I ever did when I started shooting is to go to a local club shoot. Many clubs have monthly shoots I just went up to the guy with the signup sheet and asked if I could watch and maybe ask a few questions as I was just starting out. The shooters were great. Many offered to let me try...
