    Mr. Corkran met his demise due to a Colts Walker blowing up in his hand. Name the place of said incident and movie.

    Lonesome Dove? I.know a lot of them did blow up due to 19th century metallurgy and also panicked combatants loading the conicals backwards.

    Looks like a Remington Rolling block, hard to tell from the picture if its a #1 or a #5...they were also produced around the world under license from Remington.... 😉

    Correct. The rifle that saved Remington after the Civil War. I believe this was made overseas as it was made in 45-70 and I don't believe they were built domestically in that caliber.  At least not built for Uncle Sam.

    Great service guys. A buddy used yall a year or two ago when he couldn't find time to zero in a new rifle before a late elk hunt.

    Apparently the RSOs have time to watch the movements of visitors using the vending machines.

    Last time I went to Ben Avery, I was screamed at for eating an M&M with peanuts near the shooting line lol. Yup, I'm a rebel. 3 years later, I'm the RSO. Have had to ask one individual I saw drawing from the hip to holster his weapon and put it away since he wanted to argue. Still, I didn't need to scream. Dang good thing he didn't compound the infraction with an M&M.

    how much is the mold? 

     

     im sure in your capacities you got something to melt lead.  I know a guy that had an in with one of the "mexican tire shops" that he would go get the take ff wheel weights from them, melt them down and make his own 50 cal bullets

     

    The mold I recall is $120, I do a lot of casting for black powder, or can get the .68cal balls online for about $1 ea. Till I decide which route to take, I'll keep working with grapeshot.

    Need to video more toys vs cannons. Was thinking woke toys would be a 'blast.' Ya know, Woody, Buzz, Bert and Earnie.

    Any requests?

    A friend of mine works for  Rural Metro and does a.lot of snake removal. 

    He sent me a video from a snake removal call in Waddell.  The rattlers were around the AC unit beneath a kitchen with bay windows. 

    There were 14 rattlers, only two adults. The lady was  inside watching the reptile removal. Each time they'd pick up a snake with a grabber and shook it in front of the bay window,  the lady would let out a huge scream.  But yet she had to watch.

    I relate, but no arthritis. Just hard worked muscles that don't always cooperate like I think they should.

    Deeply regret not putting in the time when I was "young". Still, I have 1 to 20 years left?

    Guitar is a little bit of a struggle finger picking.

    Keep going. I'm jealous.

     

     

     

    Chances are you're doing better than you give yourself credit for. Do you play for others whom dont candy coat your progress?
