    Gardening ..again

    had a heart to heart with my lawn mower repair guy (after my chain saw conked out ...) learned some interesting stuff ... if you use low octane gas (regular) the engine runs hotter, so splurge and buy high- test ... also, even if you add a stabilizer, it starts to break down after a few weeks...

    How Ridiculous is This?

    perhaps they meant 34.99 and got fumble fingered?

    Rubbing magnesium on frizzen ?

    this appears to be a solution in desperate search of a problem. if doing this 'floats your stick,' well far be it from me to tell you not to do it, but it seems like a bunch of unnecessary steps.

    45 SMR

    i've got a walnut stocked SMR (also in .45) ... hope mine looks half as good as yours ... i really like the metal finish, and the wood is gorgeous!

    New to flints

    started out with a Thompson Center .50 cal flint and though i have acquired or built several other rifles, it's still a solid performer. I have never owned a Lyman or Pedersoli rifle, so i can't speak to their adequacy or quality. You will no doubt be inundated with advice about never do this...
