    USPS Fiasco

    Ordered some of the new GOEX from Buffalo Arms, $23/lb. They shipped with in 24 hrs!! Got the notice of where the powder was and estimated delivery by Tuesday. After a day they said it was early so delivery scheduled for Monday signature required. So I stayed home all day Monday.....no show...

    Modern CNC work in Turkey

    I have a Turkish hammer Coach gun. It is very well done. You are right about a ML, they would do a quality fire arm. Don

    My Mail Lady.....

    I bought 50 lbs last year and had a note that it was too heavy to deliver. The PO is about 1/4 mile away so no big deal. Now our mail guy is in his 30's, decent athletic build and .....lazy. Went to pick it up and a pretty young girl brought it to the front desk and lifted it onto the counter...

    Choosing a melting furnace.

    All of greenjoyjt's suggestions are valid. Couple of additions: Stand up and cast, a spill will land in your lap if you are sitting. I put my pots inside a cookie baking pan. It will contain a full pot if it decides to leak out. The Lee drip is easily fixed, just clean the spout like they...

    Choosing a melting furnace.

    The more expensive pots control the temp very minutely. I have 3 Lee pots the oldest is 30+ years old and still works. Precise temp control may be desirable for hardened match bullet casting but unnecessary for everything else. Don

    Gun Lost :’(

His arrived in 3 days, after 2 weeks mine was not here. Called him and he went to his FFL, they never sent it. So tried again. After another...

    .54 rifled bore pitting

    Most of us have a decent rifle with a bore pitted more than we would like. I have 2 and they both shoot well. All the above suggestions are good. First, shoot it. Then if you want 3M pads or bore paste. Don

    gun safes and cap and ball stories...

    10 or so years ago my middle daughter drove her friend home after band practice in high school. Their house is about 500 yards away from us in the subdivision. The back of their house faces a farm field. When her friend went into the house she found the back wall had a huge hole in it. Thieves...

    gun safes and cap and ball stories...

    We had a crew go thru our neighborhood a few weeks ago. Tried all the car doors, I found our Jeep had been ransacked and a handgun was missing. Left there totally by mistake, we were going back out that night but decided not to. I always lock the vehicles but again I failed to do so. Our...

    Funny

    That is an ultra rare Hawkins/Remington/Spiller & Burr revolving rifle muzzle loader!! Their were only 21 & 3/4 made by Sam Hawkins and his cousin Eddie Hawkins (The well known thief and bootlegger). Around the 1790's - 1886. Mostly in .22 caliber but some were 2 bore. They were not that...

    Simple question…..

    Year before last I shot the Woodswalk at Friendship. It was 80 + degrees, humid and drizzling rain. Enough rain that you held your hand over the muzzle after pouring powder to get your patch/ball loaded. I was using a cap lock but 2 others shot flints. To my surprise they never had a misfire...

    Carving antlers

    Measure I made for my Woodrunner. Brass is from a cartridge case when I was in the Marines. Made the knife 40 years ago for my Dad. Got it back after he passed.

Once a year he would bring several uniforms, CW rifles and pistols, flags, etc. to her room for a class. Always with the admins approval and prior...

    My Lewis and Clark pistol replica.

    I have the exact pistol. Bought it sometime in the '70's while in the Marines in Seattle. Still have it. Shot it at a target on an old oak tree. The ball came straight back and hit me between the eyes.....had to explain that one to my wife. Don
