and now I'm feelin' guilty / LUCKY to have gotten the Wells Fargo Colt Limited Edition Set (by Uberti) #66X of 1000 for $175, unfired, in a pawn shop. Complete as at Cabela's, with the New England Collectors' Society documentation.. :neener: oc

hmm... another idea..? How about the outer skin from birch or aspen bark? It is paper-thin, almost like onionskin, so maybe a couple of layers would be good.. Slighty oily, but I don't think oily enough to transfer into the powder.... and I know that brich bark makes excellent tinder for a...

Thanks, guys, but I was referring only to the 5-digit number stamped on the frame botton, and concealed by the trigger guard. There are no proofmarks, nor are there date codes in boxes. oc

I have a pair of .31 "Wells Fargo" brassers, one made prior to the winter of '85, when I acquired it NIB..not marked as to manufacturer (no proofs of any type, no date code) I completed from a CVA kit, and as yet, unfired and the other, bought +/- 2009, completed, at a gun show. The second is...

"Charter Oak" or "Liberty Tree" in Annapolis, MD not far from the governor's House, until about fifteen years ago. It fell, (lightning strike, I think) and the area was almost immediately cordoned off to prevent folks getting souvenirs.. I'd bet some of the politicians managed to get some of...

Sorry for the needless death of a kid. it just shows how out-of touch some "parents" are with reality and child-rearing. :mad:

armed robbery and murder with a BP pistol Occurred in my home town in about 1980. Liquor Store across the street from where my "little" brother was employed. In broad daylight, the perp walked in, announced a robbery to the person working, and it was that person's 21st birthday. He had...

Foto Joe? had a '62 pocket Police for sale a couple of months ago... pics of it show very nicely.. (let me see if i can post them from my email) oc

starting fluid and a spark from a bic lighter took care of the major spider egg and nest in my mailbox. a short spray, close the door, and hit the little quarter-sized hole in the rear floor of the box.. blew the door off, and virtually vaporized the little spideys..

If I recall correctly from training at the Army's Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1969, the "primer" as we called it, for the 155mm howitzers was a black powder-filled .38 Special "blank" cartridge. I don't think I ever saw a misfire with it !! If I recall, the 105mm was...

recall the term "Bessemer Converter" from American History? first, quoted from a post above: "The area around Birmingham AL was a well known iron producing area. I would agree that the South was not nearly as industrialized as the north. And the South was certainly behind the 8 ball. But...

Thanks, PapaG and Dave- I guess now I'll have to.. just gotta see down the bore first...

Thanks, Folks ! About the Investarms Hawken -I saw reference to smoothbore in one of the online ads I mentioned, and thought this one was, but on closer look, it is rifled, and the crown looks great. Nice, I think, for $125, and again, it seems to be unfired. I guess I ought to pull the nipple...

Traditions / Pietta .44 "Reb -Confederate" in brass and blue. Date code is for 2008. Looks unfired, as the chambers have bluing which looks unscathed. Someone has fired at least one round of caps with no powder, as there was a bit of corrosion at the base of the nipples, inside the...

Thanks. worked for me. I never thought of the little packets of spark plug prep. I'll try that, too, or at leash throw a few into the cleaning box.

sanitized "I'm confident that any documents of any material value has long since been "sanitized"." yes. the latest FOIA release was a joke. Redactions make it look like swiss cheese, hit with 00 buck. GSA must have over-allocated for DOJ/BATFE shredders, too.
