Thats why I said I am having such a hard time walking in the woods. That was just a fall on a smooth parking lot. And its also why I took early retirement from my insurance adjusters job. I looked at houses for wind and hail damage. If you are prone to stumbling the roof is not a safe place to be.

What I said sounded something like, "Got dandruff and some of it itches". Say it fast and you'll get it.

Heal well, gents. And take your time! Makes me cringe just to look at those pix.

I got it loaded today and will use the left hand tomorrow if I don't get rained out!
Were you able to shoot that revolver yesterday? I hope.

Sorry to hear about and see your injuries. Take the time to heal and don't get back to everything too early or you will have a setback. The second time around for those type of injuries is way worse.

No I didn't get to. I went up a BLM arroyo where I was going to and came upon a couple in a dodge pickup that shouldn't have gone there so soon after a rain. I diverted and pulled them out with my jeep and by that time I didn't think I had time before the water from more rain would get there. I vamoosed.Were you able to shoot that revolver yesterday? I hope.

Among the "items" left to me to sell for my late friends family are a couple of BP rifles. Both are Great Plains .50's. I will keep the Flint one as he wanted me to have it but the Percussion one will go. I looked at several sites and they are sold out due to current issues. What might be a good price for a factory one that looks unused? All the bloody pics remind me that when you finally checkout that both family and medical bills can be your survivors.

I bought one of the laser engraved ones in a Cabela's Fathers Day special about 5 years ago. It came with a second engraved cylinder and I think I only paid about $200 for it. It still shoots fine with both cylinders.
They had such a stampede for them that they had a huge backlog of orders and in the end many people never got them at that sale price.

Now THAT would have been sweet - did a quick search online and the only 1858s I find are Traditions brassers...don't want brassers...
Don't know if you are a fan of the antique finish but about 3 months ago I bought an 1858 Taylor&Sons/Uberti antique finish. It is absolutely beautiful. I like it!
