One reload... Hi Nath - How hard is it to get reloading components in the UK? Does buying components require special licensing? Not to hijack your post, but it got me wondering... :wink: Hello old friend. Not many hoops to jump through reloading wise. They are supposed to ask to see your licence wh...

I can remember reading a short story, back in the late 70's, that had a plot along the lines that you would get a million dollars (or some large amount) but someone you did not know well would die. The person debated vigorously, and finally decided to do it. Almost instantly a knock on the door, and...

Agreed - .44 Special is much less harsh, noise-wise, than anything other than a subsonic suppressed 9mm.

The people most at risk are the ones living in the deep south because their homes are simply not built in a way to protect from extreme cold. Friday's low in Little Rock was forecast at 3°. Correct! Even on "newer" homes, they are just not insulated like they are up north. Commercial buil...

I bet you're a happy camper this evening!

Wonder if this will be called the "January 14th Insurrection"?

Will they get the same treatment as the "January 6-ers" got?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Supposed to be lows in teens here early next week. May not sound cold to many of you, and I certainly remembered it for the first half of my life, but down here, it is cold and dangerous. Dangerous on pipes, and dangerous if it ends up icing the roads and powerlines. It will be good days to stay in ...

Good to hear!

I can't argue with any of those!

Bottom line, we need the NRA. It is/was the most effective Second Amendment protection organization in the country, or at least the one most feared by the leftist trying to take away our rights and take away this country's freedoms. That is what we need again out of the NRA. The focus needs to be on...

Seeing 'em grow up has been really cool. DSC06438.JPG I pray every day that I make a positive difference in someone's life, and hopefully lead them to our Lord through my words and deeds. You and Twyla made that positive difference, Jim. I have no doubt that Twyla was greeted by our Lord with "...

Congrats! Looking forward to the range report.

Congrats!

I've always wanted one. Don't know much about them other than the basics, but like Scott, just always admired the looks. I love the .44 Russian cartridge. May have to start looking harder.

My son and I are both Life members.

I agree, this will be good for the organization. I just hope they get a pitbull of a leader who won't compromise with the leftist.

Went back and looked at it again. Its a 1895 LTD--1 of 1500 Got the owner to come off the price a little more :o It gets out of "jail" on Tuesday Congrats - that's a heck of a deal. :D And yes, we're all enablers here! :lol: "Gets out of jail"? There is a waiting period in Color...

Congrats Scott!

I need to drop about 20 "COVID" pounds myself. No point in starting over the holidays with as many baked goods as Mrs. YK makes each year. But I'm almost done with them. My breakfast of champions today was a couple last gingerbread men cookies!

Just saw a blurb that Wayne LaPierre is resigning his position with the NRA. Haven't verified it yet, but it makes sense given the lawsuit in NY.

It sure did!

Probably didn't help my poor hearing one lil' bit!

Yelled SWMBO (a.k.a., "Mrs. YK"). "Nothing, honey" I yelled back from the basement. That was embarrassing. Recently I picked up an old "Lee Loader" for the .45 Colt off ebay. Decided to give it a whirl over the holidays. Read the instructions, questioning them a bit whe...

I'll be hitting 60 this year. I have to smile a bit over all the responses, having had the same journey that many of us apparently had. I was a recoil junkie in my 20's, hand loading .44 Magnum rounds for my Ruger Super Black Hawk that were more than a bit "hot". Had some loads where I had...

I haven't invested the time necessary, but my sister has countless hours, days, weeks, months, and years. She even had a book made for our extended family with everything she found condensed in an easy to read format with tons of photos. I've always been the genealogy guy in the family, after my Da...

YK, that is something. I belonged to Ancestry for a year and built up a pretty good tree for about 6 or 7 generations. I had a big framed posture made up. I need to re-join and extend it further, but it seems every time you turn around looking for records they want money. JBowen They do rope you in...

Very cool!

Very interesting!

Find A Grave comes up often in "hints" through Ancestry.com. I really like it. Having read some great (informative) obituaries, and some terrible ones, when I wrote my Mom's obituary a couple years ago I wrote it for her family and friends now, but to be a resource for our descendants a hu...

I try to go through all the hints with at least one person each day. Sometimes there are few hints and I can cover a nuclear family unit. Other times it is just the one. I'm up to over 5,000 in my family tree, with almost 1,700 photos and over 12,000 records. I feel close to my Dad every evening whe...

I hope to be able to see the entire background all the way to Adam and Noah, when I get home.

+ 1 on all three counts!

Bill, The prices are creeping up on the Yugoslavian stuff. I bought several M57 Tokarev pistols a couple years ago for $150 w/out the mandated frame mounted safety lever and they are already selling for over $300. The Mausers are doing the same. Military firearms account for most of my collection a...

Beautiful pair, Ted!

I always check when I see a deal too good to be true, and thus far, it always has been.

5¹/² powder so I'd venture to guess it's 5¹/² drams. Is that a 10 or your 8 bore?
Not 10

Yep, the 5 & 1/2 dram makes sense now...

Nope - especially since you are unloading it before getting into a vehicle or climbing over a fence. I'd much rather miss a shot at game then accidently put a round in me or a companion. Taking an extra second for safety is always worth it!

I was walking around a gun show back with Y2K when he was around 4 or 5 years old. He had already watched "True Grit" with me a bunch of times. We came across a table with Henry rifles, and he spied one with the big loop. "Look Daddy - Rooster's rifle!" You know the rest. It came...

Very nice. Just watching the last sunset from South Carolina of 2023...

So, old reloads of 296 produce... Ol' Yellow?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Leverguns are the best medicine!

Now, why would you go and swear an oath like that?

Were you ill and fighting for conscious thought when you made that oath, Doc?

You are a fine granddad! This old Scotsman bought one standard chipmunk (pink) 25 years ago and have used it for multiple g and gg kids to date. Still sitting in my safe waiting for the next kid.
