Re: Something is Fishy

Is there anyway to keep these "bots" out of the forum? They make me wonder if they are just mining for info on the forum members. Another theory is that jeff bizos has his minions looking at this sight to get info on Krag rifles to start making them again! Thats probably a stretch. I do li...

interesting article

This article was posted on another collectors forum. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Re: Economics, Technology & Payback

I would not be getting rid of any reloading manuals or important reference papers and relying on a chinese "smart" phone to give you answers. If they have a way of pulling the plug on a smart phone most people around here would not know how to crack an egg to make breakfast. File cabinets ...

Re: Mr. Trump

I guess i was trying to say that this country can still be a great one. It just needs better leadership. Republicans and democrats should both stop watching the network news for starters.
