Re: Benchmade

Yes, yes you did... I have the Barrage and the 5000 Auto Persidio.. Sadly, the 120.00 Barrage can open the blade faster than the 250.00 auto..

Re: Waco-area man finds out carrying at school stadium = no-no

Seems like one Waco-area CHL'er didn't pay attention in class... http://www.wacotrib.com/news/police/police-man-arrested-after-bringing-gun-into-midway-stadium/article_37ac18a2-4b31-5e0f-a58d-02529369bcd3.html Note: the offender, in this case, was also apparently inebriated, and after being given a...

Re: Motor homes

And we just bit the bullet and purchased one on Friday.. Our anniversary gift and her birthday gift. We got a med (24 foot) lightweight MPG. It has bunks for the g-kids, or my semi carpentry skills can do away with the bunks and add a storage/craft room. And yeah, we went to Funtown because there is...

Re: Black Powder shooting advice

SNIP BTW, it might interest you to know that the "naval scene" engraved on Colt cylinders commemorates the Battle of Campeche in 1844 between the Texas Navy (the victor) and the Mexican Navy. Texas bought a lot of Colt Patersons which bailed Samuel Colt from bankruptcy, and that is how he...

Re: Black Powder shooting advice

TxLobo, Thanks! Is this (traditions) a decent reproduction of colt navy? meh.. keep in mind that the "original" 1851 was made in .36 caliber, and an Octagon Barrel. The "Navy" model that comes in a .44 didn't exist back then. The Cold 1860 model looks sleeker, and originally it ...

Re: Black Powder shooting advice

Ah, the slippery slope. I started with a CVA Hawkin .50 percussion. Then came another one and then a Pennsylvania long rifle and then a flintlock and then a cap and ball .44 revolver. Yep, a slippery slope. "SNIP" When Ive been shooting and clean my rifle I remove the barrel and the cap n...
