And hopefully most people have a modicum of common sense. And if they are gun owners have the responsibility to know the laws. One’s rights don’t necessarily supersede another’s right to feel safe in an environment such as the cabin of an aircraft. It’s the old” don’t yell fire in a crowded...

Firefighting personal I know prefere “firefighter” to fireman. A fireman is a person who tended boilers in a locomotive or a fixed boiler room. For what it’s worth.

Just got in an order from Grafs. 10 pounds, mix 2F and 3F and 1 pound of 4F. All Grafs house brand, which currently is Wano Industries. Schuetzen. . Good enough for this pilgrim. Brings my supply up to 35 pounds. Some of it Goex. I’m challenged to tell the difference at my level of revolver...

Not at 81 either it seems.

And if you go back to Americas colonies of the 1700’s you’d probably find in general use barn yard animal variety fats. Whale oil as well as olive and coconut oil was available as an import from Europe but from what I’ve read only for the more affluent. Good old pig lamb and beef fat accounted...

We all carry on about the cost of keeping our hobbies going. My self if I need something, perhaps want would be a better analogy, then I decide buy or no. I paid $94 dollars for 1K of small pistol primers, so I guess I haven’t reached my, fluff that limit yet.Those primers are Turkish by the...

Purchase of a hunting license and the act of carrying a loaded firearm perusing game during lawful hunting seasons may, by the act of signing such a license and agreeing to its stipulations, give field officers some legal rights as to search or seizure. For example. Magazine capacity while...

Like I said I rarely look at the dates. Often find my self following threads months or years old. 😁

Toot my man, do you know you’ve responded to a comment made one year ago. That’s ok I reread the thread until I got to my response to it before realizing it’s an old thread. 😂

81. Shooting for 50+ years, black powder 20 spring summer early fall. Gets cold indoors with metallic stuff.

That’s my approach. A heavy spray of aerosol Ballistol into every opening, trigger, hammer and bolt followed by a gentle blast with the air hose. I actually see the excess Ballistol come out black. It’s carrying additional fouling away from the internals. After a few rang trips I’ll break the...

Some of us, mainly meself, also like to, occasionally, such as with the ROA, the Walker and the Dragoons to just let er rip. Full charge. Smoke, flame and boom. It’s just worth that extra pennys of powder, and unlike the big boomers in metallic completely manageable. Really what’s the point...

No thanks. Thems the months I shoot on the INDOOR range at the club, and the only months I shoot modern stuff. 🥶

I understand some folks mix graphite powder in with it. Would be good until the hot weather. Borebutter can get runny though. The yellow stuff even smells good. 😁

In years past several of my guns came back from tune up packed with red grease. They worked fine and I ran them as such. Problem was it interfered with the way I clean the guns and after several range sessions when I did disassemble the gun that grease was mixed with powder fouling quite...

I routinely shoot reduced loads, punching paper under 25 yards what’s the point of full loads except flash and bang, but also use a lubed felt wad so fully seated projectile isn’t an issue. So to answer the threads question, except for the “no air space rule” no filler is needed depending on...

Even my 300 member gun club has numerous sigh in sheets and signed agreements regarding liabilities on range, fishing and grounds use. Just part of being an American in todays ligation society. No sense in cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. Sign and move on, or not.

Curly Maple. Tiger and Quilted are just another way of putting it. It could be one of several species, hard or soft.

Welcome from that small state on your southern and eastern border.
