Thanks. It is. ;)

Don't hand Rachel20 your custom AR. She'll accidentally break it by gripping the rail too hard and snapping the trigger in half while attempting to fire. $2,000 investment down the drain.

Chances are though that one shot will hit where she is aiming. If she's aiming.

You flatter me so much. Also you missed the quotes on the accidentally. "Accidentally".

You? No. You're more Biblically minded than that.

Ahab and Jezebel would be mine were I so incredibly gifted.

That or maybe Priscilla and Aquila.

Considering naming them "Lightning" and "Thunder". When I flex, it will be a storm coming.

It'll be easy to do. Just claim you're charging 1k for labor 2k for no questions asked.

I just watched some of The Good the Bad and the Ugly yesterday. There was a great line at the end.

I can't remember which one Clint Eastwood was.

Speaking of quotes, this one was going around Facebook a few months ago. Pretty good :)

"You don't own a gun, and that's your right. You don't believe in God, and that's your choice. But what do you do when someone is trying to break into your house? Call someone with a gun, and pray they get there on time." :D

Didn't know it was black powder.

How do you tell?

Not sure what your question is. Cap and ball revolvers require black powder, modern powders are way too strong.
The loading lever is usually under the barrel so it can be loaded and the ball rammed home in the cylinder.

and then there were the black powder conversion revolvers that were converted to fire cartridges. I think most of them still had the loading lever under the barrel.

Yes...45 Colt, 38-40, 44-40, 45-70, etc...

I used to have a Marlin 45-70, and there were quite a few guys that would load black powder... I never did...too much trouble to clean up..

I guess I'm nostalgic about things other than tech. When it comes to guns and vehicles, I tend to value function over form.

Just call me Mr. Practical.

That's why it is Revolver over Pistol. But then again, a revolver looks way better than a pistol...so I guess that makes it form over function or vice versa. Carry on lol.
