In the U S, we have a preponderance of stupid mean people. Very little polite society.

Discussion of God or religion on this board leaves a good opportunity for derisiveness as I believed there are some very stiff necked people of either side here. Like was said discussion of the simple flint can be problematical.

The promoter is the only one that makes any money as everyone else is a payer.

I think that some of us as we get older become more aware of the sanctity of life. After the military and 20 years of police work things that are alive just look better to me anymore....

Most anything by Wilber Smith.

They were better basic craftsmen than we have today ,weren't used to a lifetime of power tools.

I've found that the best way to keep from wasting powder while filling measures is to pay attention to what you are doing.

You all are pikers. I lost a whole night vision scope in the house. It isn't a small item.

One TC kit in 1987.

A five inch group at a hundred yards means that every shot landed within two and a half inches of the aiming point. On an elk's side that isn't enough to worry about. Let the bench rest shooters worry about group size.

Looking at this board lately it would seem a whole lot of members are losing their furry friends.

If I wanted a quick reload I'd shoot one of my 1911's but I kind of like the slow style of loading a 51 or 60 cap and ball revolver. Gives me time to ponder what I'm doing.

Made arrangements today to have my 12 year old German shepherd partner put down and cremated Monday. Displesia . Going to be a hard day.

I do all my easy living in the house. All the outdoor sorts of stuff gets done in the garage and back yard. About half my cooking gets done out on the patio on one of three BBQ's or large propane stove.

I have an 1851 Pietta, an1860 Uberti, and an 1858 Uberti, all are steel frame and all very satisfactory. Can't help with the brass frames but a lot of people have them and are satisfied. Leave the cartridge guns to cartridge guns would be my suggestion.

Went to the first cub shoot of our year this morning.. We shooting in winter here in Yuma. Shot a .45 cal Seneca 8 times and it did well, shot a flintlock 62-20 smoothbore with sights and prb's and it too did well. Surgically altered back said it had had enough so I came home. Now to clean guns.

I pre lube patches with the mink oil. Just rub some onto them, it doesn't take much, then I put them into one of those plastic .22 cartridge boxes from cci with the sliding top. They keep for a good log while.

Welcome from Yuma.
