McGovern..that old **&&^%%, Here we go again. Alright you young guys, so TYRVR and I were just outdated old men? Boys, are you gonna get a wake up call. Karl

I think that the Dems will try and leave guns alone TILL 08. ( I could be wrong, I did not think that they would take the House. ) They will try and convince us that the "new Dem" is not antigun, in an effoprt to get Hill the Whitehouse. Should THAT happan, I think our gun rights will go the way of England. karl

Rev. Thank you for your service. Enjoy the beer. karl

The Hippy and me seen our duty and we donze it!! : ) karl

I went to the range this morning about 10 am. I planed to do some work on the Mausers and shoot "Hamilton" my Muzzle loader smooth bore pistol. I could NOT get a table. The place was packed. Most of the time I go after school on Fridays and the place is reasonably empty. I have not gone on the weekend for some time but it was NEVER like this. You would have figured that they were giving blonds and beer away!!!! karl

I went and got the # 10 caps and lube and nipple wrench today...Only 6 days to go till Stonewall arrives. karl

"Stonewall." hum Thanks. I like that.. Karl

Well, I did it. : ) My CSA .44 "cap and ball" pistol is on the way and should be here in a week. I am looking for a "name" for him. Suggestions? Karl

Kerry said what the Libs think of us. Any one who fights for this nation is, in their opinion, a dumb sob.

Thanks and welcome sir. karl

I got a powder measure for BP today. It seems kinda useless. You set the meter for. say 20 grains..fill it up close the spout and load? The Lee dipper seems simpler .... or am I missing something? Dan'l Karl

DT You know that is not a bad idea. As an extra benefit, when the bad guys catch on, they, not knowing who is or is not a sniper, will zap CNN types. Perhaps their colleagues can get a "big scoop" out of filming that. Newshound karl

That must make the families of our guys feel real good!! The media are fast becoming maggots who care only about the "scoop" and their "careers'. karl

Thanks Tom. I spoke to the man at Dave's,where I got my APB powder and he said 10 grains was too weak. I agree and I will take it to 20 to 25 grains. karl

The Catholic church had the same view. Making a profit by lending money for interest was considered "Usury" and a sin. karl

Well, I went to the range with my ML pistol. I started out with 10 grains and at 22 feet, the ball was bouncing off the target. Humm thinks I ..this calls for more powder. I went from 10 to 15 grains. The boom was better and the balls hit the target. This pistol has NO sights so it is like firing a shotgun. Still, I had a blast and I shall go back next week. Uncle DuPont...I shall take your advice and continue to try and get some BP. This new finagled American brand powder, seems to lack punch. karl

Well, it is here!!!! I refinished the butt. It is oak but the finish was a cheap lacquer. I carefully sanded and polished the wood and it is curing as I write. I had to unscrew and toss the nipple in a drill and use a file and paper to reduce the circumference as it was too big to take a # cap. Out of the box, it took 3 hammer falls to set the cap off. I reduced it to match the circumference of an old nipple I had. The other problem was the flash hole in the nipple. It was too small or perhaps just clogged. I cleaned it out and now it works. Uncle DuPont. I could not get Black powder. The man at the shop said he "could not sell it". So I got a pound of "American Brand power" FFFG. The fella did not have a charge chart but said " just load it a bit lighter than BP which the maker of the pistol said is 10 gr. Any of you use this "American Brand powder" ? karl

We have gotta pass this on. karl

Why? Monolithic world communism has gone the way of the dodo. I would think that China or Russia has NO wish to see Kimmy armed with Atomics. The worst nightmare that China has is that Korea may provoke Japan into building Atomic weapons and rearming. NO-ONE in ASIA wants to see the Raising Sun on the march again. Russia is a LOT closer to Korea than we are and also recalls a rather unpleasant meeting with the Sons of Japan ..it cost them a whole fleet. My point was, (perhaps I was a bit unclear), that I see no reason at this time for us to invade North Korea. It is a Asian problem and I say let Asians handle it. karl

The difference is the Republican perv left office, his party rejected him in disgrace. The Dem perv kept office. His party rallied around him and debated the meaning of "IS". They ARE NOT THE SAME. karl

So what? Man has to die of something. If North Korea was fool enough to fire a nuke at us, we would fire a 100 back. As long as ole KIMMY knows that, he is not going to fire at us. karl

hell. Tip O'Neill had a dem named Studs (SP) who had sex with the page boy, was called on it, told the House and the press to go to hell, said it was HIS business and kept his seat in the house. Tip did not do a dam thing about it. As for putting "children at risk" the e-mails were a few years old ...why did the dems sit on them? Could it be that THEY, the Dems, were willing to "put kids at risk" to curry favor with the "GAY" wing of their party or to keep a political advantage??? karl

Thank you Uncle. I am really looking forward to this. I have a cabinet full of rifles and pistols, but this is my first "muzzle loader" pistol. I keep checking the mailbox like a kid on Christmas eve. karl

Fellas. I am getting a "Richardson boot pistol" from SOG. The add said: .36 cal.#11 caps and black powder. Problem is the man at the store there are 3 sizes of .36 cal. .350... .360.. .375.. What is the difference? As to "Black powder" is it all the same or are there different types? karl

Yes. Don't do it. GPC has a part which will allow to the convert to "Cock on opening" problem is there is not enough force left in the firing pin spring to guarantee firing. Click...UH...bad. Unless you have a "oldtime" smith who knows how to reshape the bolt..don't go there. karl
