    BP supplies at Wal Mart

    Just spotted the comment about the 9 mm 'shotgun', I have one! It's a 9 mm rim fire called a 'Garden Gun', they are popular in Europe for small varmints in the garden. Neat single shot, Winchester came out with one called the model 26 (yeah it stumps Google), I've only seen one and it looks...

    BP supplies at Wal Mart

    Don't go to the mart often, but need an oil filter so will be soon looking for the name brand for the vehicle, seems the orange ones are not as good and local parts shops don't carry the right brand. Think if I encountered one of those machines doing an employees work I would be inclined to...

    WITHDRAWN Professional Custom Built 4 Bore Elephant Rifle

    Holy Smokes! I knew an old timer that was engaged to harden up some .82 bore for a person in Ft Collins, CO ("uncle Paul" has passed away since) he told me that the guy had shot a Rino with it and the round went through both shoulders.

    Powder disposal

    "Fire the anvil" like they used to do on the 4th of July... Seriously, though, I like the suggestion of finding someone that can use it for what it was intended for. Joe

    what is considered a good collection of BP revolvers

    My brother and I watched a big Mountain Lion move through the valley below us while on an elk hunt in North West Colorado a few years ago. I was a beautiful cat about 6 to 7 feet nose to tail. We reported it to the ranch house when we checked out that evening. Colorado has a hunt season for...
