Welcome back! There are lots of refugees from the old forum still around, glad to see another!

Hello from Southeast, MO!

Pretty neat!

Congratulations and welcome to the board!

Man, that is an exceptional piece right there! It always amazes me the different type of factories that switched over to help out with the war effort.

Pretty neat! Obviously OSHA wasn't a thing back then I just couldn't imagine how loud and miserable it would be to be around those machines all day

I'm a big fan of xtreme bullets. They usually keep their stuff on rotation for a 5% off sale and really cheap or free shipping. For plated bullets in general I just load them the same as jacketed.

That wood! That's custom muzzleloader quality right there!

Welcome Back!

Glad to hear it went well. My only advice is if they have you on the "good" painkillers, try and wean yourself off as quick as you can stand it. They can do a number on your digestive system. I think it took a week for me to get regular again after my surgery.

It's a sad day. I'm not sure why they'd implement this policy though, I feel like their bread and butter is smaller rural communities (more conservative). The bottom line is what's going to control their policy making though so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I hate to hear that. pretty much any orthopedic surgery isn't any fun (I had 2 knee surgeries). I'd also recommend what Hector said and try cast bullets. I don't shoot anything besides cast in my bolt action milsurps anymore. Low recoil and a box of 20 will set you back less than $5. Wish you the be...

Nope no Garand thumb yet. I was smart enough to load it the "GI way"

Welcome to the forum!

It definitely was a blast! It wasn't too hard to talk my other half into letting me get an "investment grade toy"
