Ahhhhh... those wonderful school day memories!!!

I certainly led a sheltered life in an Illinois farm town in the 1950s. I don't remember ever seeing anything like that.

Ah yes, Stink bombs and match rockets. My buddies and I caught a lot of hell in fifth and sixth grade for those things. WORTH IT!psteinmayer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 12:33 pm

I guess I'll have to stir up some trouble at the home. Yer never too old to have fun like that. I can do without the evening oatmeal gruel for a week. Two weeks, though, is when things get hinky. That when the DTs kick in.

Re: Factory loaded ammunition
I came here to ask if $60 a box is what I should be expecting to pay. Looks like I've got my answer.larrys wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 1:20 pm I was in a rather large gun store (for here in CT) yesterday and I spied Remington 30-40 Krag ammunition with 180gr round nose CoreLokt bullets on the shelf. Ten boxes. I stop by there once a month or so and hadn't seen it before. $57.99/box. New ammo run, looks like.
