Hey...I had a Falcon Stationwagon with performance rims...and a 351 cleveland...and jeep fourxfour running gear.  It was way fun.

N o...it would be alright.  Obama had his fingers crossed when they administered the oath.  He was probably singing Lalalalalalalalalalalala in his mind so he never heard the words.

They missed a few...protect and defend, constitution, oath of office among others.

Food fight!!!

found cci 10's and 11's at randy's in fountain city

Purdy!!

Bass Pro.  $25 a pound all four grades and Remington caps. 7.95 a hundred

wonderful pistol...and you don't need a mid range rifle  100 meters is as good as 25.

Somewhere in this mess I have the bandspring too...I'll look.

somewhere I have the band.  the front and rear are the same size...I'll look.  I was wrong...they're different.  I have the front in my hand.  how do I get it to you?

do you need the spring too?

In the only You Tube I found...and it sucked...they were using commercial "plugs" of powder...two per shot....also they used slugs instead of round ball.  with slugs you're using enough force with a metal ram rod to cut the lead and engrave the rifling in the slug.  I noticed the ram rod has a rotating end so the bullet follows the rifling around and doesn't shave the lead off..no patch for slugs.  I use 90 grains of ff (2F) blackpowder.  I shoot fffflinter and sometimes I fffflinch.

"Powder, patch, ball..Powder, patch, ball...Powder, patch, ball"  keep saying that every time you load.  "Powder, patch, ball."  under no circumstances are you to say,  "Patch, ball....oh shit."   the powder goes first...then a patch of some type of cotton cloth...I use pillow ticking.  A ball .005 to .010 smaller than the bore laid on top of the patch. (if you use a .005 smaller ball then your patch should be thinner  if you use a .010 smaller ball your patch should be thicker.  It's the patch that holds the rifling.)  A fairly decent thump on a ball starter should seat the projectile in the bore.  use the short pin to start and the long pin to drive the ball about six inches in the bore.  Trying to use the ramrod to start the ball can result in the rod snapping and the ramrod and your hand heading for the hospital.  Ball six inches deep?  Now use the ramrod to to seat the ball using a reasonably  smooth steady shove.  Seat the ball on the powder.  You can tell by the sound of the rod on the ball if it's seated.  Muzzle downrange...cap...aim...fire.  A BP rifle pushes rather than recoils.   Notice how much rod is still out of the muzzle when you have correctly loaded "Powder, patch, ball"...if you forget the powder sometime...and WE ALL have done it...the ram rod will have less rod left sticking out of the muzzle....if this is the case....blush....swear....hunt up the ball puller and thread the puller into the ball.  you don't have to pull the ball all the way out...just enough to give a little room for the powder you are going to put behind the ball when you pull the nipple.  Don't forget to retain the rod...they make a good spear....but you usually get to use the spear once...and they don't shoot straight.   Powder, patch, ball

drool!!

you should be able to fix a battle weapon with a file, a hammer and a little smarts.

marlin kicks less than a winchester...perceived kick...marlin has a wider butt

I have problems...I know it.  I bought a bullet puller before I bought a press.

Foxfire five has a bunch of information on bean rifles

The Finns make one that's one piece...found it on ebay.

The little catch holding tension on the knurled cylinder pin and the appliqué loading gate makes it a German bulldog copy.  the longer hex barrel and lanyard ring makes it a german copy of a Webley Irish.  Rimfire would be great.  it's mostly the spring and builtout loading gate plate that makes me think this is so.  Webley did NOT use that.

A lot of firepower downrange in a hurry...exactly what you don't want...after two or three you better be moving...if we're talking about "situations"  The more you shoot...the less ammo you have to protect that pricy pickup, with the wife and kiddies sitting in it...praying you're a better shot than the three guys shooting at them from widely spaced hiding places.   I remember seeing a 60 minutes about an Olympic marksman who might take all day to send one downtown and be moving practically before the 22 long rifle bullet left the barrel...that was in Bosnia.  Defense baby defense.  Sometimes the best defense is a good plan of offense. 

There's too many retired californians in Colorado.  The economy was pretty bad until the ski areas started bringing in the rich...and those guys don't want the people to be able to fight back,  This is going to be about the money.  Magpul doesn't have enough clout to worry the money people.

There ain't nothing in the world like sailing...and girls always want a ride. A single handed 20 to 26 foot?  Sweet!!  Quiet too. and the law specifies motor boat when it comes to drinking.
