Being a 'Gregory', the Hilltop version needs to be capped... initial impressions are everything.

"Well sh!t"... best line in weeks!

Oh. And Lindsey Graham...pffft. That is all.

This is my first NRA convention. Been a member for years, but never really wanted to travel far to fight crowds and pay too much for a hotel room. So I have to say WOW! What a crowd and everything I ever wanted to see from the gun culture  :usa: . Ended up with 50 lbs. of literature and catalogs in my pack. Enough reading to hold me for a year until the next one. But I'm going back tomorrow for more!

I'll be there all three days as well. If you see someone with a 'Team .30-30' maroon shirt, it's probably me!  :wave:

I know this is completely inappropriate, but when Rick saw the gate was open, the voice ran through my head...   **ps in the wire! **ps in the wire!

But, but, but... they're zombies! Aren't they a little soft in the head???

Bruce Lee Morgan!

I think Pete held his own because of pure rage and jealousy and because he is just a bad person. Rick is still in the questioning phase, maybe, as he had to almost be pushed into the scenario by SCarol. He is committed to the idea and professes it verbally, but he's not completely there (i.e. conscious) or he would have let Pete have it at the pond scene. JMO.

I never thought they would vindicate Shane, but they sure are giving it a try! Not sure how they're going to pull this one back. Maybe Rick gets kicked out and finally hooks back up with Morgan and together they somehow save Alexandria... I've already spent too much time thinking about it today instead of working  :cool:

Prayers and healing thoughts for you and your Father. It breaks my heart every time I read one of these posts.   G.

Prayers and healing thoughts Bersaguy!   G.

I have handled a few of the new 'Remlins' (bersaguy, since Remington acquired Marlin, they closed the plant and moved operations to Remington plants, fired most of the Marlin craftsmen and tried to build lever actions with people who only knew how to assemble bolts. Their quality went through the floor).   The fit and finish is getting better, but still nowhere near the older leverguns. The actions also feel like they poured sand into them before shipping. Some of the .45/70 and CA caliber actions have been usable, but the stocks still look like a kid did the checkering or the wood itself looks like it was made of compressed newspapers.   Yes, I own quite a few of the 'JM' Marlins and am a little bit of a snob. I only have one with a CBS (1989 30TK), which I promptly removed and replaced with a Beartooth 'Safety Delete'.   G.

Terry,   Here is a link to a Lyman .pdf that has a good illustration of the two types of crimp at the very bottom.   Hope it helps, Greg.   http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/dies/pdf/dieInstructions.pdf

Hey Terry!   That's a little aggressive for a straight wall case and a bullet with no cannelure. Most of the time I use a slight crimp so that I can still see the outer edge of the end of the case. Should be more than enough for all but the hottest .357 loads.   G.
