It is amazing (and sad) that some of these creatures have enough intelligence to reproduce. I sure hope this doesn't get the anti-gunners up in arms down there. Up here in voyager land, we've got really restrictive gun laws (so bad that I had to order my BP revolver from the east coast because the big gun dealers can't be bothered with anything that isn't high demand!) and even that doesn't stop the stupidity! There is a fella not too far from where I live who had his guns stored in a locked closet, in a locked room in his house (the law says they have to be under lock & key). Some guys broke in to the house, broke in to the locked room, broke into the closet, and stole his guns. The owner was charged and convicted for "improper storage". In another case, a fella had his guns hidden in a secret location in his house. Acquaintances of his son (who knew there were guns there) broke into the fella's house and beat him to within an inch of his life to find out where the guns were. Finally the fella told them. The guns were hidden under a floorboard in a bedroom - the crooks would never have found them if the old fella hadn't given up the location. When the old fella called the police to report the beating and the theft, he was charged and later convicted of "improper storage". Don't do to defend yourself up here either. There was a case a couple of years back where a rural storekeeper had been robbed a few times at gun-point. His home, where he lived with his wife and little kids, was over the store. One night he heard a number of guys breaking into the store so he picked up a rifle and snuck down the stairs and into the store to wait for the crooks. When the bad guys broke in, he winged at least one of them (maybe more). He didn't kill any of the bad guys but one of them ended up in hospital. He was charged with "attempted murder". By the grace of God he had one of the few judges with common sense. The judge reduced the charge and gave him a slap on the wrist. I am not comfortable with the system of gun ownership ya'll have down there 'cause I think it is too easy for a "nut case" to have more weapons than an army platoon, but our very restrictive system up here don't make a hell of a lot of difference!

Jin-o-ta-ka, If the laws of the land are enforced a "nut case" won't have more weapons than an army platoon,but the bottom line is still that our Constitution say we can have them. Of course that is an on going battle to protect. Your reaping the benefits of not having that protection or of having lost it, however it happened. My liberal "friends and relatives" do not understand that some things are "Rights" that should not be given up or allowed to be abridged. They do not live safer for living where guns are harder to come by nor do they make society safer by advocating restrictive gun control. Many wise words have been spoken by some of this countries wisest citizens concerning the subject of gun ownership and protection of freedom. Unfortunatly those men spoke their words of wisdom over 200 years ago and not much wisdom has been shared since. (minimal historical reference to make this fit this list <G>) May I suggest though that we steer clear of this topic since it can and has lead to heated discussions of contemporary politics, which on the one hand is a pointless discussion and on the other is not suitable for this list?

It also fits with my primary historical interest - the heyday of the sternwheelers on the Red River (1850 to 1890). I am also planning to buy a flintlock. I have a mediocre .54 that I seldom shoot because it has such a vicious recoil so I was thinking about buying a .32 Pennsylvania flinter to fit my other persona - an old mixed blood of the 1740's fur trade era. Then I got thinking again and wondered if I should go to .45 so I can shoot the same size balls as the C&B What say you gang? Shall I or shant I?

Shall I or shant I? Diane, I say I don't think you can. Your pistol will use either .451 or .457 balls. Your rifle will use a .440 ball. The pistol ball is oversize for the rifle, and unless you hammer it down every time with a mallet, it won't work. You can't use the rifle balls in the pistol because they won't seal the chambers, which results in chain firing; and being undersized, recoil will let them move forward and your gun will lock up when the cylinder rotates. Suggest you think of other alternatives. - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 13:45:04 -0500 From: "TrapRJohn" <traprjon@mediaone.net> Subject: MtMan-List: Off Topic - Boy Scouts Need Help This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_0023_01C0968C.55B6B900 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hallo the List, Please indulge this short off topic request.

The ball size he quoted was correct. Don't forget to use grease to seal each chamber (NOT Crisco as some early writer said and a hundred followers quoted) because you can get cross fire and lose several chambers at once. I had that happen a couple of times with a .36 before I was convinced. That DOES make your ears ring and your hand tingle. First time I lost two - - second/last time I lost 5. That Remington is one nice pistol. I do like the Colts, but in my mind the Remington points nicer. Some like it for the top strap for sighting and strength. That wider trigger feels nice, too.

Normally a rifle and revolver of the same calibre do use a slightly different size RB. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that it's due to the lack of patching required in the revolver.

Todd, Do you have any more info on this? Is the NMLRA hosting it, or is it just a camporee. The Jamboree is a national event held every 4 years at Ft. A.P. Hill, VA. Perhaps they could use another volunteer. I've got the time and the inclination.

Shoot .451 best, then .440 almost as well -- flat don't like .445. Gotta use good patch lube. According to the DGW catalog, it depends on who made the '58 Remington reproduction as to whether it takes .451 or .454. - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 14:30:51 -0800 From: Lee Newbill <bluethistle@potlatch.com> Subject: MtMan-List: North Idaho Craft & BP Show Hallo For those of y'all in the area, there is a blackpowder oriented show at the Couer d'Alene fairgrounds this weekend. It's in it's 10th year (or so) and going strong. October Country is usually there along with various other local traders and craftsmen. Hope to see y'all there. If someone out there could forward this on to the MLML list, I'd appreciate it.
