    Civil War Ghosts

    I enjoy the program when i catch it which is far and few... The old battlegrounds are humbling.. We dont have civil war battlefields here in montana but the indian war massacres/battlefields around me have the same effect on ones mood....There was a bar built on a indian camp that was wiped out...

    Old men rule!!!

    the people i most respect and are best friends with are old guys. Somethings take a lifetime to learn and dont be fooled cause some old boy is over 70 and never finished high school he knows more then a college grad in most cases. Have very few friends my own age.

    Do lever action rifles jam if held at an angle or upside down?

    plus as for injun fighting there is a trade off for distance versus speed of firing the 44-40 is by far not a distance caliber where as the 45/70 does carry quite well. One reason custer got overran was the copper cartridges that jammed repeatedly with heat and i dont think it would have...

    What is wrong with rifles today?

    And even if the company says send it in we'll fix it but the parts are less then the shipping and loss of time waiting to get it back from them how many even bother to send it back? So the consumer loses more often then the maker or he trades it to someone else and they have to deal with it.

    Driving cars is expensive, drinking is expensive, and yeah shooting is expensive but its never really been a issue in my decision to do it. This is my opinion and mine alone so dont bounce on my head, but the hole SHTF thing i think people think about to much. Personally i would love to see...
