    Lost My Ammo, Had To Buy Some at Local Store

    3 Grizzlies infected with Avian Flu,that is not all

    We pretty much trust a smart dog. Bonb checks. Cancer. Support dogs. Seeing eye dogs. They use nose first, eyes next and ears last. We, on the other hand, belive or argue with everything we hear, cant believe our eyes and generally ignore our noses.🙄

    Any good media separator?

    I have most of the systems. BUT, I find dry media just leaves dust everywhere. I have gone to SS pins and Frankford Arsenal tumbler. Thought it would be a hassle. But it's not. AND primer holes and inside are clean like new. Image won't post?

    Mauser Identification

    "The bottom of the action and the sides of the rear tang often have been marked with information." "When you remove the front scope base, there may be markings on the receiver ring." Duh. That is a point. Shaking my head. Thanks.
