Thanks. I wonder how much they would fetch on a U.S. auction :). The use of standard primers seems really neat. There used to be an LP or SP conversion for Blackpowder here but I've never seen one.

Out of curiosity, are his guns common? Prices are high even by European standards.

I have been to ranges where regular Magnums weren't a problem, because of expenses and thoughts put in sound proofing (usually because of neighbourhood considerations, not for us). So I would say that courtesy goes a long way but range managers have to work on it too. Mine has 22 and air gun...

Sir, I don't know for sure about the photosoppin' but I can assure you that I don't own such a tablecloth :D. I think the pattern would make it more difficult to fake actually. The story I remember is about a store making a limited run as a publicity stunt. That's what I wrote in 2008 on an...
