  1. to hell with the lure start the boat (both comments from personal experience)
  2. I do not fault a guy for not knowing something, but i do fault someone for not taking the time learn beforehand. rube is a good description
  3. nah, after awhile one grows immune
  4. I do not get Monday off, I don't think the Big O ought to either.
  5. Beckinsale would have been my pick for "Current Day Hottest Actress"
  6. i thought you promised to not show those video's of Garufa
  7. yep, i am with you
  8. that's great, I hope if nothing else they get rid of the white haired guy and the punky new guy. Or at least make sure they understand your bullets are yours and not theirs.
  9. some vendor last week at the Expo Center in Knoxville had crates of 91/30's The price was nothing to write home about.
  10. very interesting, i would have sworn that it was paraffin, might have had bees wax in it to keep it soft. I have not used it so I will go with what you are saying. Regular holy Black is easier to clean than Pyrodex. I never tried Triple 7. A ball that is fatter than the cyplinder and shaves a nice ring of lead off will also help keep the ball seated, I agree that chain fires must come from the nipple side of the cylinder. I have never had a chain fire and hope to maintain that record. I use Crisco over the balls to keep fouling soft, and to help lube the cylinder pin. also one thing I learned. I have heard others speak of lubing the internals with Olive Oil. I did that and after sitting a month or so the gun was near gummed up solid. Won't make that mistake again.
  11. they are inexpensive, not cheap. I have had a brass framed 51 in .44 cal for over 30 years, I don't shoot it much anymore but it still works fine. Trigger is a little bit of a concern as it is sooo light now. Jamie I am not surprised that your '58 went bang. They are fine pistols and very reliable. The caps and balls seal the cylinder fairly well for long periods of time as you have proven. I have known some to use a bit of wax on the cap or a little snip of plastic tubing over the cap to help with longevity of the loads.
  12. I would venture a guess that those planted at Arlington would go with #2 There is nothing he does that suprises me anymore.
  13. you gotta think these questions out better, the guys around here will try to play all angles. I will stick with Peck and Bergman if I only get one of each.
  14. I always figured you used the space in your head somehow
  15. Gregory Peck, Ingrid Bergman hmm just noticed the fog in your question, thread title states in the singular, but your question is plural. Add the Duke, Eastwood, Agar, Pickens, O'Connor, Ward Bond... oh heck this list could go on forever. Add, Witherspoon, Jane Darwell, Natalie Wood,....same thing this could go forever.
  16. throwing knives, and learn to be accurate with them. Keep the bad guys out of reach
  17. It will be all fine and dandy to not issue weapons or ammo until one of our guys or more gets killed by armed invaders. Then what will he do?
  18. I came here from Florida, so technically I am was not fleeing Ohio.
  19. I have a 91/30 that I think is a Finnish capture of a Russian rifle. It has a Finnish stock anyway. I will sell it for 462 dollars if anyone is interested. ( the price is ridiculous so you all understand it is really not for sale so I do not violate any CoC here))
  20. dang SUNTZU that was very inclusive. Nice work. I look forward to learning something.
  21. man overboard?
  22. I am just a loser and am not worthy of the shirt
  23. I don't recall the axeman thread, not that I did not read, don't recall it but I am still a bit out of sorts. Apologies to all
