Also just had a 5.0 earthquake about 20 miles from here -- shallow at 3.3 km. A little noisy.

Just got an email from Graf and Sons that they have PRVI .22 Hornet brass in stock for those who shoot the wee toot.

Bill in Oregon

Yes, it looks lovely. I tip my hat, Griff, as I hated delivering lumber with an itty bitty 20-foot triple axle.

Bill in Oregon

They have my prayers, too, Jim. Thanks for the notice.

Bill in Oregon

Such a fun cartridge in both concept and execution!

Bill in Oregon

Glad you like it Will.

Walt, I will confess to being a bit shocked by what you found with your new Ruger Marlin. For the price point, I assumed they would be good to go, but guess I have not been paying attention. Glad you are getting it sorted.

Cap and ball revolvers are also good at flame-cutting sandbags -- and staining a whole bunch of stuff black.

I had absolutely no idea whatsoever that Hannah is Thell Reed's daughter! Thanks for posting this Paul! Jeff Cooper mentioned Thell many times over the years. P.S. I just tried to send to Thell on Venmo and Venmo is asking for the last four of his phone number since I have not sent him money before....

Paint chips and blast marks! Been there and done that. I agree with Walt that resting the barrel on the rest affects point of impact, and I try to rest the front edge of the receiver in the notch like Jim is in the third photo. One other lesson that I have learned the hard way is to have something s...

Perfect!

And I want a shirt like his!

Bill in Oregon

Oh, baby! Be fun to plug away at a floating target, Somali pirates, etc.

Bill in Oregon

Very fine shooting Jim! I'd be awful proud of myself shooting those groups. Any guesses as to velocities?

Bill in Oregon

Jay, how accurate is she with both loose powder and ball and with cartridges? What a beauty!

Bill in Oregon

It's a bruiser, Jim. Some years ago, just like many of us, I "had to have" a Walker, and of course it was huge, heavy and the rammer frequently dropped. Got it out of my system, but have always thought a Dragoon made more sense. Loaded with a Kerr, Johnston and Dow or Kaido bullet, it seem...

I saw this Rock Island video on cleaning a 1911. I have never in my life heard of submerging all the parts in mineral spirits each time you clean and lube.

Doc, I wish I had given Paco's tool a more serious workout before I let it go. Good to know it improved your ammo's performance.
This thread has me thinking back on the old, abused Ruger flat gate I enjoyed plinking with 20 or more years ago. Should have cleaned up that gun and kept it.

Bill in Oregon

" ... should the Lord continue to tarry." Grizz, long may He do so! A while back I grabbed one of the inexpensive Mossberg Maverick security models, fitted a MagPul stock and the OpSol receiver insert and it runs the little Aguila and Federal shorties as if greased. Much easier on my old s...

Found one at H-E-B in Abilene yesterday, grown in South Carolina.

Another WOW on that mold, Six. What an astonishing combination of bullets for classic calibers!

Bill in Oregon

Wow. I have seen the same stains on some right-wing nut group adherents too. Maybe there's some weird cosmic symmetry, ya think?

Bill in Oregon

Looks to me like a massive Secret Service failure, but the reports are fragmentary. I am sure we will hear about this until we are all sick of it.

Bill in Oregon

Vall, I first had nitrous when about 50 for a root canal. I didn't laugh, but I did say to myself, whoa, he is using a reamer on my molar root and it is kind of amusing.

Bill in Oregon

FOTIS, thanks for your first-hand review. These leverguns are now more interesting.

Bill in Oregon

Well it will sure make the GOP convention more interesting. I hope law enforcement has the doer in custody and that the backstory will soon unfold. For those of us who grew up seeing JFK, RFK and MLK murdered, and Wallace and Reagan wounded, it brings back horrible memories. HORRIBLE.

Bill in Oregon

Very fortunate. I do not like the man at all, but this is not how we settle political differences in a civilized country!

Bill in Oregon

Will is giving good advice. Other than the sights, what do you think of your Huckleberry so far? I just don't know quite what to think about the aluminum receiver.

Bill in Oregon

I need a .22 day, and soon.

Bill in Oregon

Vance, I am so old that I remember a time when a grower was willing to cut a small plug from a melon for the customer to sample before buying to make sure it was ripe and sweet. Nowhere near the fruit stands these days that there were a few decades ago.

Bill in Oregon

I had fun shooting and loading for it using the S&W M&P EZ platform. It's a useful new member of the .32 family. Ian at Forgotten Weapons really likes it. Like Ian, I have been a fan of the French Modèle 35A for decades, although I haven't owned one in years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

The rear cabin vents rotted out in my 2018 Ram. I got on the Ram forum and was immediately given the appropriate Mopar part number. Called my local Ram dealer and they didn't have the part and said they couldn't get it for weeks, maybe months. Got on Amazon and had the two vents two days later. Watc...

Will, our guys did the same thing and were even crazier for cantaloupe!
Here are three of the suspects watching me garden through a rain/dust-splashed door window.

Bill in Oregon

Used to be a guy with a trailer full of Texas watermelons and cantaloupes (pumpkins in season) who parked his rig at an abandoned gas station on Highway 82 -- the road from Alamogordo to Cloudcroft, NM, and for a few weeks each summer he had yellow-meated watermelons that were the best I ever ate. H...

Grizz, same here, about 1963. They added a peppermint-like scent/flavor and for years afterward, the smell of Ben-Gay made me want to barf. Weird. I don't think they do tonsillectomies at anything like the rate they did back then. I remember being fed the old line about -- it won't hurt and you get ...

Bill in Oregon

Which reminds me: Who here remembers being given ether by the dentist? This was back in the days of cable-driven drills, large-gauge needles and gleaming white porcelain fixtures swirling with water. Talk about woozy waking up ...

It's a special caliber, Jim, and you are surely doing it justice.

More genius from old MacDonald!

The golf ball mortars here are tempting and so is the thunder mug. I hadn't realized the latter actually had a purpose in the age of sail.

He "skedoodled" mighty quick there Will. How long have you been chasing bears?

It's in gorgeous shape, Scott.

They make some good stuff in the Philippines.

Go, Will!
