Was there last July. Never rode the Ferris wheel but did go up inside the shard for an expensive meal. Went through the Buckingham Palace and a taxi tour of the city. Could have spent more time there but the money ran out.

Old enough to remember getting off the MAYFLOWER!

I put an Eisenhower dollar into a hole in a piece of maple wood to make a belt buckle. Poured resin over it so it isn’t spendable.

Callshot 44 fan club special!

I stocked up on powder back when you could even get some. Hope I live long enough to use it up. I have used some 4831 from WW 2 era that worked just fine.

I have one and a number of people keep trying to buy it from me. My son wants it also so I’ll give it to him in my will.

Also, the price of primers just jumped up again in the last few days.

I bought one for my wife in the mid 1970’s for $129.00. I think she carried it once, my son carried it once in the 1990’s and I carried it once in the late 1990’s. Hardly been shot at all. I always wanted one when a 12 year old and they were only $54.00 in the Sears or Montgomery Wards...

I don’t get many calls checking up on me. I’m almost getting too old to shovel the driveway but if you stop shoveling for more than a minute you freeze down and have to leave your shoes out there if you want to go in the house.

One year ago I loaded 100 cartridges for a brother in law’s 44 Henry Golden Boy and noticed the price on the primers was $1.78. The store where they were bought has been out of business for too many years to remember. With all of the ingredients and my cast bullets, I told him they were about...

It’s good to be back. A lot of water has went under the bridge while I was not on here.

I used to be on this forum since about 2008 or 2009. I got caught up in the technical difficulties a number of years ago and couldn’t get back on. I reset my password tonight and hopefully can return to this forum.

I’m not sixshot’s late buddy, but he helped me get one just before his late buddy found one. I haven’t shot it too much yet. I have gotten some squirrel blood on it just before the pandemic hit us.

In the early 1960’s I was picking night crawlers to go fishing the next day and found a 1900 fifty cent piece in the flower bed. I still have it.
