Jim, I had no idea such velocities could be achieved. I wonder how corrosive it is.

Wisdom indeed, Darryl.

It took some two-inchers to finally blow up my little brother's Texaco tanker.

Jay, that is a very cool "fantasy" Dragoon you have there. I bet it would stand up to some heavier loads ...

Bill in Oregon

Wow! Just WOW! What a darned hoot. The power is indeed surprising. This will very surely alarm "the authorities."

Bill in Oregon

What a lovely find. Well done, Pat! The first centerfire revolver I ever shot was an Iver Johnson breaktop in .38 S&W owned by our scoutmaster. Fascinated, I was.

Bill in Oregon

Found it: Rig-a-Jig.

We had the usual Lincoln Logs and Tinkertoys, but no Erector sets. There were so many Boeing engineers' kids in the neighborhood that I would have gotten a complex trying to match their creations. But there was another "construction" toy a bit like the Tinkertoy idea, but with plastic stra...

Bughole indeed! We used to help folks at the range use the two-shot sight in, but theoretically, it should work with one shot if you are certain your scope tracks perfectly. Use a rest. Remove scope turret covers. Put crosshairs on the bullseye and fire one shot. Assuming it is not in the bullseye, ...

Grizz, that's ingenious. I wonder if one of those small neodymium magnets could be milled to match the radius of the barrel and trimmed to reduce its footprint. I dunno how they are made -- or if they might take Oxpho Blue.

Thanks for that link Ray. It was indeed a fine article and free of all the padding that some writers seem obliged to add these days. My great-great grandfather enlisted in Hays's First Mounted Texas Volunteers in Austin in May of 1847, but his company did not see combat in Mexico, instead being depl...

Doc, I was unaware of this whole business of runaway pharmacists either assuming or being delegated authority that they have not earned. How can they possibly know if a patient has had or needs physical therapy? That requires medical examination, diagnosis and a prescription. Since when do pharmacis...

Ian is always worth listening to!

Ji, the gas-piston driven Hatsans are somewhat controversial. On some models, you can apparently refill the piston, On others, it is difficult or impossible. Hatsan's customer service in the USA wins no awards.

Mick, there were three of us playing in the back yard next to a wooded lot. He abused each in turn. I kept in touch with my fellow victims over the years. We all dealt with multiple divorces, clinical depression, alcohol abuse or worse. These kinds of crimes were largely ignored in horror in the 195...

This has been a fascinating thread over at Castboolits.com. I'd already considered making my own black after reading Capt. Brett Gibbons's "Like Fire and Powder" and watching the Hoffman Reproductions Youtubes on the subject. This "Golden Powder" is faster, simpler and safer to m...

Ji, please keep us in the loop if you are so inclined. You can count on lots of sincere prayers and good thoughts from the fine bunch here at Leverguns.

Dads: Wow, what a great memory!

Bill in Oregon

Swagman, kudos for bringing this up. I knew nothing of it either, and am ashamed to admit how little I know of the war in the south and central Pacific. I should know more, three of my four uncles fought in the Pacific Theater. What a blessing the Japs never developed a successful four-engine heavy ...

Bill in Oregon

Ji, you might want to wander over to Airgun Nation to check the vibe on the big Hatsan. Also, the reviews on it at Pyramyd Air are worth reading. Gcs, I had the Hatsan 95 in .25 and found it extremely hold sensitive, but it sure carried the freight. The 95 in .177 and .22 is supposed to be less sens...

Bill in Oregon

Doc, this is the most infuriating thing I have seen online in recent memory -- and we all know how fouled up things are these days. That pain specialist was so far out of line he begs to be prosecuted. I feel SO SORRY for your patient who was basically raped all over again by this shameful man. How ...

Bill in Oregon

Ji, you ARE going to a big hospital in Honolulu, right?

Bill in Oregon

Grizz, in that brutal 35-day fight, we suffered nearly 7,000 American boys dead and nearly 20,000 wounded. The odds were one in three that you would get hit.

The United States Marines began their assault on Iwo Jima. Thank God for the Greatest Generation.

Boy, ain't it the truth.

HAW! Reminds me of one of my Brittanies. Heck no I ain't giving to ya!

Bill in Oregon

Ji, I am very sorry to hear of your legitimate concern, and hope the imaging and further tests show a completely treatable cancer. My PSA levels -- checked regularly -- have been consistently low, as well, and the urologist saw nothing to concern her during the cystoscopy, thank gosh. As usual, Doc ...

Griff, good gracious, I am glad that turned out all right.

First time I have seen that make and model, Scott. Looks like just about the perfect truck gun.
I've shot the Blackout but would like to work with Bill Wilson's .300 HAM'R some time.

We used to sell the AutoOrdinance Thompsons at Sportsman's Warehouse. Folks were always half-stunned when they realized how heavy they are.

John, between Brett and his Paper Cartridges Youtube channel and Rob and his Britishmuzzleloaders channel, one could probably burn a year of one's life, transfixed.

Coffee! I need strong, black coffee!

This has happened to me recently after I ran across three books by Captain Brett Gibbons, USA. I first read "The Destroying Angel," his account of the revolutionary effect of the rifled musket properly and devastatingly used in the case of the British against the hapless Russians in the Cr...

Isn't it satisfying? An old Savage with fine bore is a joy!

Will, don't bring your little household hammer or you'll be at it all day.

I never got good enough to drive a 16d vinyl sinker in less than three strokes on a good day with my framing hammer -- and I always left mule tracks. A 40d hot-dipped ringshank has to be a workout!

Bill in Oregon

Jim, but you have talented hands, see?

You are as good at gunsmithing as you are at hermeneutics.

Bill in Oregon

Brian, glad you have yours behind you as well. It seems the TURP and several other treatments I have looked at all have an asterisk: there is a very small risk of incontinence and or impotence. And I was never any good at poker ... :cry: And Darryl can we please rephrase that as "getting Boresn...

If you know eastern Oregon -- Lakeview, where he grew up, and Baker City -- you realize what an ordinary Oregon kid can achieve with skill, dedication and discipline. I was put at ease by his post-Army career with the Forest Service. It had to be healing for him to be "working in the woods.&quo...

Jay, yes, Mike Beliveau --"Duelist 54" on Youtube -- shows those loading port modifications. I'm tempted to try this as well. I had forgotten just how much punch the 1860 offered. Wonderful sixgun!
Have you done anything about raising the front sights on your cap and ball Colts?

Bill in Oregon

Pat, both are heeled bullets, but even then they are still a bit tricky. Both were provided in large quantities of loaded paper cartridges in the "recent unpleasantness."

I had a chance to shoot a group each with the Eras Gone Johnston and Dow and the Eras Gone Kerr in my Uberti 1860 fluted-cylinder .44 this afternoon. I had hand-lubed them by rubbing an SPG clone into the lube grooves -- only one on the Johnston and Dow. The latter bullet was pretty fiddly to get in...

So pleased for you Vall. I am still not sure which route I will go but it is good to know the old TURP still works.

GForce confirms a steel receiver on the CC model.

Bill in Oregon

Sent GForce an email regarding the color-cased version's receiver material. Will report on any reply.

Bill in Oregon

Jason, I realize scopes on revolvers are deal-breakers for a lot of shooters. Even with cataract surgeries four years ago, the irons are getting tougher for me to use. Take care of your eyes!

Bill in Oregon

Will, it seems you are right -- that they all have aluminum receivers. I'll wait till all the facts are in.

The king of Jordan is one of our best and most reliable friends we have in the Middle East, as was his father the late King Hussein. He likes America, too. Some years ago he was doing a Harley tour of the West and his entourage rented an entire Rodeway Inn for his all-day visit to Crater Lake Nation...

I actually corresponded with the late Val Forgett of Navy Arms about these Spanish-made rifles. I have heard neither good nor bad about them and would go to the Creedmoor 150th Facebook page and ask about them there. Those guys are getting ready for the rematch of the great 1874 match between the Am...
