    When does a handgonne become an arquebus?

    One has to ponder just how many of these helped the enemy by exploding.

    Pietta .44 navy?

    I deleted this post as it was a perfect example of when one should not drink and comment.

    Traditions lock reliability improvements?

    Very true. "Discretionary income" is getting more difficult to come by and the Traditions guns I've had in my life (at least five) worked well. My 2 centavos to this discussion is the Trad flinter, I used Tracks hardening compound and it was much more reliable after having done it.

    Is pure lead really necessary for muzzle loading balls or bullet in rifle or hand gun ?

    I have to wonder what it would do to the frame of a Colt when that ball hits the forcing cone.

    Strange Day for Me in the Woods.

    I was the third person to comment in this thread. I am a little surprised that so many people feel the same way about this. I thought I was a rarity and expected someone to start shrieking at me as so too often happens. Nice to know I am not alone in this.

    Strange Day for Me in the Woods.

    Same thing happened to me last year. I will continue to go on hunts with my friends doing the harvesting, but I'm done. Don't know why, it's just not in my heart anymore. Nothing to be ashamed of.

    The funny thing is he thinks anyone cares about his hissy fit. Whatever.

    Sometimes I do wonder what makes people like this "tick", but not enough to waste time with it. I've seen this sort of thing before and it often ends with them being kicked off the forum.

    I will lend something substantive (I hope), I have a 40 year old cva plains rifle that I coned and tested exhaustively to see how it would affect performance. I figured I would use it as a test bed of sorts before I committed to doing it to any other more expensive gun. Maybe do it to a pawn...

    I think zimmerstuzen is a bit uptight and needs to have a dram or two of whatever whisky and relax. Jeeezzzeeee....

    I believe the reply you will get most often to your question is "because it couldn't be".

    Barry Lyndon movie fakery.

    I watched those and could not wrap my mind around the fact that he is/was Bean. He was great in his portrayal of Maigret.

    Is that where the phrase to shoot one's mouth off came from?
