My first black powder rifle!
Re: My first black powder rifle!
No big loss.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Fewer Christmas cards you have to send out.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Celt, it looks like you are handling it well. Back at Christmas time I imagine the stress was through the roof. I'm glad you pulled through.

Re: My first black powder rifle!
I have some very distant relatives living out that way, they all have money, and wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire. Leftist cityboy c*******ers every one of them, faint if they saw gun and couldn't even check their own oil in a car.

Thanks, I'm a survivor. They are not. If it feel down around them i doubt they would come out alright. The stress was unbelievable. I'm still stressed, almost done with the bankruptcy though. When that's finished i can breathe a sigh of relief. It was an eye opener for sure. Working commission is a kind of stress all its own.

Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms
