    Some real old prices

    Back in the early '70s a friend and I would bicycle to Murder Creek (Brewton, Al.) to plink. On the way, we'd stop at White's Auto (?) and get 22 LR @ 50 cents a box. We had our rifles slung on our person; no one blinked an eye back then... Had my tonsils out at age five (1965); woke up with a...

    Witnessed Unsafe Behaviors

    I always thought that it was some sort of Hollywood movie "acting" thing. Have seen quite a bit of it in westerns - blowing the smoke out. Akin to spinning and snapping the cylinder shut, and my favorite; throwing the empty gun away... Bob p.s. scariest thing I've seen at the range was a guy...

    Scammers

    What did you do today

    Hi all, These are ~ late 50's early 60's clay bird houses that have been in the family for as long as I can remember. Used a wire brush to clean the crud, lichen, etc. from them and soaked them in hot soapy water over night. After rinsing and allowing to dry the fun began. So, Krylon primer...
