I still have a dual Safariland pouch with two speedloaders from back when they were called the "Kel-Lite Firepower" loaders. I know I have one for my Colt Python, and might have one for my Detective Special as well. They are odd black rubber "conical cups" with no moving parts; cram the rounds...

I vote for "stupid." The world has too much malice, but I think there is way more stupidity out there. Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice. or ... but keep your eyes open. (See Hanlon's AKA Heinlein's Razor) Mailboxes seem...

; what TAB said. And I'm sure Battlespace meant "a certain few contractors." The kind of guys you probably wouldn't want working on your house, anyway. I just had to go looking for this! Apparently from somewhere in Texas, and immortalized in The LawDog Files. C & C WARNING: Put your coffee...

That's pretty low-class, and it's not just because I'm a veteran that I feel that way. We had some of that happen around here, too, in the northern part of the county. My prime suspects would be dopers from a certain big city not too far from those little towns. :mad: But up here, illegal...

I was going to say that anything made of copper and not nailed down could "grow legs," but some things that are/were nailed down have become a target of thieves, too. Apparently church roofs, made of lead, were disappearing over in England. Trucks and other high-clearance vehicles were preferred...

Until I read your entire post, the first thing to come to my (ex-military) mind was the "other name" for "C.A.S.:" Close Air Support. I thought you were a fighter pilot who was also into "man-portable" guns. When I first went into the Air Force, the "Boys From Syracuse" had A-37 Dragonfly...

As mentioned, the older ones weren't the most accurate rifles to come down the pike. But things can be done to make them better. All of 'em out there that haven't already been worked on by a skilled gunsmith could probably benefit from a trigger job. Even something as simple as adding a muzzle...

"Support your right to keep and arm bears." :D , Griz.

And a big THR to all the new folks. I think you'll like it here.

I just acquired a good used Eagle brand "Q.D." scope mount for my Mini-14 Ranch Rifle. It's the one that replaces the bolt lock cover plate and allows use of the iron sights by looking under it. Of course this one came without instructions or any Allen wrenches, but for the price, I can't...

Now, see, I've already learned something new today, and I didn't break anything in the process. :D Thanks, Scrat.

Berdan primers and steel cases seem to go together, as in the low-budget Russian stuff (Wolf). Until now (Entropy's most recent post) I had thought steel cases were useless except as scrap. Then, too, until I did some Googling about it, I thought anything with Berdan primers couldn't be...

I vote for (d) All of the above, plus competition, pest removal, depredation, plinking, etc., etc. ;)

"Taxation.—Disclaiming any intimation 'that the owners of newspapers are immune from any of the ordinary forms of taxation for support of the government,' the Court voided a state two-percent tax on the gross receipts of advertising in newspapers with a circulation exceeding 20,000 copies a...
