I just reread my post. Sorry for such a long one.

A few of y’all asked me to keep you updated. I haven’t for a while (sorry) but will now. I didn’t name my friends before because it hadn’t been in the news but that changed within a few days. The deceased friend and neighbor is Steve and my very dear friend who survived is Paul. Paul has had a...

Thanks for sharing! Now I think I want one of those cameras…

Can you direct me to instructions or a how-to video?

Addiction - recovery? Who wants to recover? Go with the flow, and may God have mercy on your soul.

But - pics?!!!

I’m not all that knowledgable, but with the 1860 barrel date isn’t it more likely to represent something cobbled together with various parts including the Richmond lock? I agree with @Conquerordie that you can let it be whatever you want. I think it’s cool and you should shoot that thing and...

My computer had a mind of its own yesterday - sorry about the incomplete response. I don't know what happened, but here's what I meant to write: "Mr. M." is doing better than when I was with him a week ago. But he has been experiencing a bit of "hospital psychosis." I was told years ago that it...

Thank you for your concern. In fact thank you to all who have shared kind thoughts and prayers. It will mean a lot to him when I’m able to share with him. Mr.M. Is

I wasn't clear that if it is not too far for me I will take it. And I would also like to know what "PAL" is. Pal, as in friend? Or somethig else?

Where is Stink Dog Creek? With such an interesting name it would be worth it just to go see the place. :-)

I know that the survivor doesn’t smoke at all. I think the other smoked occasionally, less than one smoke per day, but knowing how careful he was I can’t imagine that he would have been smoking. But no, I can’t be sure. The deceased was operating a four stage press, the other watching and...

Thank you - that’s very thoughtful and kind of you to say. I really do appreciate the camaraderie that I/we enjoy on the forum, from (mostly) complete strangers. Autocorrect caught a typo and changed that last word to “stranglers”. I’m sure glad I saw that before I posted. 🤣 On the other hand...

Looks like way more fun than a body has a right to!

Here’s an update. Three days ago it didn’t look promising for my friend who survived but he is slowly improving. I have spoken to him and while it wasn’t much of a conversation, as you can imagine, he is aware of what’s going on and he knew me. He remembers that I helped pull him out of the...

Thank you. Alas I don’t own that cased revolver and accessories. But I have an original Starr and original accessories to build a cased set to match that one. I just found that photo online and I like the case style so much I’m using it as a pattern for my new case. I finally got the box and I’m...

Thank you all for the kind remarks. There is a number of details, not speculative, that I did not include that point to gunpowder being the source of the explosion. I don’t know if propane was in use for heat or any other purpose. I hope none of you will ever have any accident of any nature and...

I don’t know where else to post this but I need to reach out to someone. Two neighbors/friends were in the gun room attached to the one neighbor’s garage this evening when there was a terrific explosion and fire. I just happened to be at the end of the driveway and another neighbor and I were...

I think of the dozen or so dry balls I’ve had I have only pulled one. All the others I’ve cleared exactly like that. Always works for me. I have read somewhere, I think on this forum, that the bolster screw is there only to plug a hole that was necessary in the manufacturing process and was...
