Actually he'd be doing the country a big favor if he wandered off never to return...

Not so fast Jay. I think I want Harris even less.

I saw The Last Outlaw a number of years ago. And I agree with everyone's assessments. But there WAS one thing from that movie that I do remember well and think about often. And that is the shear number and variety of cartridges and calibers that were used in those days. That would be a Supply Sargea...

And, when it comes to remorse, who can forget Josey Wales famous line when his partner laments they can't take the time to bury some would be attackers:

"To hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat too, same as worms. "

Very, very sorry for your loss. I have never lost a horse, but I have suffered through the loss of many other four legged friends. People sometimes refer to animals as being 'dumb.' If 'dumb' leads to showing unfailing loyalty, unwavering love, and a dedication to please those they hold most importa...

But for the best functionality, balance, pointability, and feel, nothing beats the 1860 Army - in my book anyway! :D No argument from me on that point Jay. My favorite by far. Not to mention that the 1860 Army is also one handsome revolver. While I know we are talking C & B Revolvers here, I ju...

I would like to encourage a high level of caution in regards to attempting this type of thing. I own and fire several Black Powder Cannons. My cannons were designed and built following the very stringent safety rules and guidelines of the North-South Skirmish Association (N-SSA) and the American Art...

I absolutely love your fantasy gun, Jay! Very cool. It is giving sime ideas about how to get more use out of my 3rd Model Dragoon.

Now I am assuming that once you make those mods there is no going back, correct?

It is time for Wayne to go. When he first rose to the leadership position, I believe his intentions and his actions were honorable. He walked the talk. But there is an old quote I am sure you have heard: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." And in my opinion that is wh...

Black Rock Leather 'N Rich for heavy duty protection. But it will darken light colored leather. When darkening is not desired, Cadillac Shoe and Boot Leather Lotion. Not the same level of protection as Black Rock, but it really cleans and gives the leather a great feel.

Now if the bears just realized they only need to cross the southern border, they would be taken care of for life.

I purchased a couple of pre-assembled kits, but I purchased mine from a supplier who specializes in trauma set-ups for First Responders. It is the same supplier we use to fit out our FD Rescue apparatus. To those kits I added some instant cold packs, some instant hot packs, some large trauma dressin...

Spending Thanksgiving in Detroit with my wife's family. Her Mother is not well. My wife has been here five to six nights per week since Labor Day. If I wanted to see my wife on Thanksgiving, I was going to have to make the two hour drive south. Lots of political talk always ensues. After the recent ...

Very sorry for your loss. I know only too well how it hurts.

lthardman

Thanks. I have a Confederate Coehorn Mortar (pop/soda/beer can bore) made by Dom Carpenter. As far as I know, he is still in the black powder cannon and ordnance business.

lthardman

Use of fuse to ignite a cannon powder charge resulted in far too much variability. Particularly on a ship, with both the ship itself and the target responding to wave action. As technology advanced, the use of what is called a cannon lock allowed the use of percussion caps. And later, the use of fri...

Prayers up for strength, healing and effective treatment. And for inner peace.

Time for the prayers of gratitude. Going up.

I was teaching a sales training class in, of all places, a casino hotel. A large part of the class included a simulation. The participants watched a video, and then answered questions about what they saw and how they would handle the depicted situation. A participant complained about the temperature...

Knee mail sent.

I had a Keltec P3AT. Iwanted it for its size. Very pocket friendly. Problem is I could not shoot it accurately with my oversized meat hooks. Loved the pistol, hated shooting it. I did not feel safe with it. Sold it. A week later, I bought an unfired Browning Model 1955. Also .380. And despite the po...

Not sure if you prefer more traditional lockbacks or modern tacticals. As it seems like more folks are going for the more modern tacticals, I would suggest you check out the Case Marilla or the Case Kinzua. Both are made in Bradford PA. Right down to the screws, which are made on site. Both are flip...

Neighbor's yard. Interesting fellow. A Cinnamon Bear. He has been hanging around quite a bit.

That is great looking and lucky pup!

I hope it was a great day and an even better start to a new year!

Thanks guys. It was a good day.

After nearly 30 years as a Medical First Responder and firefighter, I have performed CPR more times than I can count. Some comments: First, not all CPR is the same. The CPR you see on TV is a joke. It is never depicted realistically. High Quality CPR has a higher probability of resulting in the retu...

Did you actually set your own eyes on YOUR gun? Are you sure he still has it?

I would get the gun back immediately. For sure you can find someone with both the skills and the apprpriate customer commitment.

lthardman

Happy birthday fellas!

Extra piece of pecan pie for you YK.

lthardman

Prayers up for sure. One scary situation. Sending good vibes your way.

lthardman

Sincere condolences. Prayers and good thoughts for you and the whole family.

Great looking stuff. Nothing beats a good corn broom IMO.

Main requirement for my steak is a plate and a sharp knife. If it's good quality meat, it doesn't need much more for me.

lthardman

Tragic news, Jay. Prayers up for mercy and strength.

lthardman

Prayers up. Sounds like his faith will give him strength.

lthardman

At least it IS a diagnosis and a plausible explanation for your pain, Jay. Sorry you have to go through this, but perhaps some real relief is on the way. Good thoughts your way.

lthardman

I will see it. Thankfully, you were not referencing Alec Baldwin's "Rust."

lthardman

I hate those inconsistencies too. It happens all too often. For what its worth, I rarely see guns that are "out of time" in Tom Selleck westerns.

lthardman

Seeing those 1907's gave me a good reason to smile. I have a couple. I really enjoy shooting them, and even hunting with them. But it's real hard to replace that .351 Winchester SL cartridge, which puts a bit of a damper on shooting as often as I would like.

lthardman

I have seen some good knife blades made with 1095 steel. And good cannon barrels.

lthardman

I loved my Thumler's Tumbler. Right up until the day I let a "friend" borrow it. The friend is gone, and so is my tumbler.

lthardman

Grizz, there is not a real good answer to your question on the strength of Damascus Steel vs a "single steel" blade. And that very question has been asked a lot. Not all grades of Damascus are made equally. And not all high carbon steels are made equally either. Some Damascus is made more ...

I have been burned by USPS a couple times. Once when shipping some expensive knives. No matter how much insurance you pay for, IF they admit the package is lost you will only be paid on the basis of your purchase price for the item(s) lost. So if you 'bought low' and 'sold high' you will still only ...

lthardman

I can't think of a better combination in a knife than genuine Stag handles and Damascus Steel blade(s). The one combination that gets close is Mammoth Ivory handles and Damascus Steel blades. I have been a knife collector for decades. I own more than I ever want my wife to know. And she does know I ...

Congrats Blaine. Good on you and your daughter.

Is your Daughter's business anything that the members here could patronize or publicize?

lthardman

If your Grandfather were still using it, what would he do? I never met the man, obviously, but his generation sure put function over anything else. I am betting he would have it relined and brought back to shooting straight. And that is what I would do for sure. I doubt your Grandfather had much use...

I have given over five gallons of blood over my lifetime. But, since COVID, they don't like it so much. As a Medical First Responder, I could be exposed to all kinds of nasty things. That never used to bother them, but it does now. After my last donation I got a letter saying the blood taken in my l...

Thank you Blaine and Jay. Its been a day.

lthardman

I had one years ago, about 2.5 cu ft and AC/DC. Hopefully they have gotten better. It cooled, but really didn't make things super cold - particularly when running on DC power from a truck cigarette lighter plug. And it was a power hungry son of a gun. Again, this was about ten years ago. Hopefully t...

lthardman

Interesting. That said, I believe that many progressive tormentors torment us for THEIR own good, caring little about what is truly good for us. They torment conservatives for their own gain. And, for them, it is a zero-sum game. What is good for them is bad for us, and vice versa.

lthardman

Have a fantastic Day! Do something fun.
