Re: "D" Day, today

Re: I try not to buy Chinese stuff ....

It is not easy to avoid buying chinese made goods. That stuff is all over this country. Most of it is inferior quality. Some of it is downright dangerous. I try my best to avoid purchasing anything from there. Before WW2 the japanese bought tons of U.S. scrap steel from us. When they attacked us the...

Re: Krag leather slings - new

Re: A pair of 1898's in the UK

Re: Loitering around Chattanooga

That rod bayonet 03 and Krag school rifle are nice looking. I guess most of those are behind glass and not out in the wild.

Re: range time

I learned to back off 10% when i bought a new lot of whatever powder brand i was using. You would work up from there.
