A conservative friend of mine, who in the past, served in both the Colorado Senate and House sends out a weekly newsletter in which he offers his summation of the good and bad in Colorado politics. I thought the listing of Bills concerning firearms and the disposition of the Bills would be of...
The technique that improved my shooting the most was when I built a flintlock. My flintlock had a set trigger but the delay from pulling the trigger to the powder igniting made me stay on target much longer.
About 15 years ago I got hassled pretty good for gunpowder residue on my shoes because they were the shoes I wore when reloading. I told the that I was a re-loader and that they could keep my shoes but they didn't change their attitude. Since then I make sure that I don't wear the same shoes...
My nephew spent 20 years in the Army Special Forces and as a Delta Operator and has made the same comment as Old Dog did above. Hillbillies using 60 year old weaponry kept the most powerful militaries in the world at bay for around 30 years when you consider Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Given...
James O'Keefe interviewed a Department of Defense employee who seemed to have a bad understanding of how to defend the Constitution, basically saying that if there was any killing to do the government would do it. The tyranny meter is certainly on the rise...
When I bought my Mini I found a Pawn Shop/Gun Store in my town that had about 40 Ruger mags of varying capacities (up to 30 rounds) and had them reasonably priced ($30 each if I remember correctly) and as advised above, they work great. Maybe look around a little, but not on the internet.
When my brothers and I were young 60 or so years ago we had 2 - .22 rifles at our disposal, an old Winchester pump and a Remington bolt action. We shot the crap out of them and never cleaned them at all as much as I can remember. My brother still has them and while the Winchester's bolt is loose...
The only negative thing I can see is that the barrel must be pinned as I don't see a wedge. Having a single wedge Hawken style makes cleaning a lot easier than having 8 or 9 individual pins like my Brown Bess. What a pain. Even with that it looks like you got a deal.
There is the remains of a breech loading cannon from an old Spanish ship in the museum at Grand Turk that looks very similar, only it was about 6' long.
Interesting that you got left to right movement with the charge increase. Don't pay any attention to the peanut gallery, I like to use the commercial round cleaning patches for shooting patches when I am just fooling around. They are cheap, convenient, and work just fine.
Is it spring or air powered? Years ago I bought a Crossman Pellet pistol to dispatch the rabbits that were using my garden as a buffet line so I put a target on a piece of hardboard and hung it on my fence for target practice. The first pellet I fired hit the bull dead center and ricocheted...
The gang of four made a commitment to change Colorado's politics and financed it. The group included the current governor and Pat Stryker who inherited billions.
