Been thinking the same thing.

Talked to him yesterday...

He's around....workin' on paperpatching some artillery shells or something.

I'm in recovery mode. I spent about $4000 more at the Quigley Shoot than I planned (Axtell Rifle Company, model of 1877 Sharps JP Lower Sporting Rifle) and forgot to tell MaMa. The credit card bill cam this week!

Crippled but still alive...

Hope she used the cheap aluminum frying pan vs the cast iron one when she hit u over the head

Rich, you haven't learned the finer arts of sneaking rifles into the house yet, eh? I ought to write a small book on the subject.

There is certainly a market for it.

The o'l leave with one gun case to the range and return with 2 in the case routine is a good one

"I am holding this one for a friend who does not have a safe"

I keep wife confused by constantly buying an selling guns. That way she doesn't have the foggiest idea of how many I have. "Sure honey, I traded two guns for this new one!" Wink, Wink!

Glad to hear everything is OK, besides the aformentioned slip!

I came across a lovely Brno 602, 375 H&H, with the pop up peep site. Got the man talked down to a good price and things were going great! When "the chief of finances" came to see what was up! Aw crap!! No Brno!!!

Oh well, she was right, "I really didn't need it"!


P.S. You should get the mailman to put your credit card bills in your reloading shop.

I sent him a pm about a week ago as I was concerned too. Like mentioned a few posts before he's been paper patching howitzer bullets or something.Rodney.

I'd hate to think she dented a good seasoned piece of cast iron on his head!

Here he is [URL= ]sharp[/URL]

I thought I was down with the sneaky thing until my wife asked me if guns could breed.

"What?!"

"Because there are more and more in your safe - they must be breeding..."

I even stick with guns that all look the same, still doesn't work - as long as she can count you're screwed.

I think paper patching bullets is the ideal thing to take up time after retirement. I get the mould, and a copy of Randolph Wright's book...

A week later I find out that my high rag content paper is half a thousandth too thick for the Sharps. They are about half a thousandth too thin to match the throat diameter of my CZ450 Dakota, but at 2100+fps they pressure swage perfectly.

I find I need a mike that will read in 10,000ths of an inch to check for the right paper thickness. I need .0015" thick and I have .0023".

This stuff does work, Kenny Wasserburger set a new record in Raton this week with his 45-110 Sharps with a paper patch load that put five shots into 1.336" at 200 yards...with a 6X full length MVA scope. My ten-shot groups are about 3"-4" at that distance, but with iron sights. With the rifle zeroed at 200yds, I have to put nearly 70moa on the rear to hit my half mile target!

regards to all of my fans and friends...you both know who you are.
