Thanks for the tips dverna. I’ll probably hold on to it and make a lamp out of it.

Good to know. I’m still on 30 day hold before I can post it in the selling threads. Might find an interested adventurer/artist.
Forum: Vintage Reloading Gear
Not my project. I prefer reloading and shooting. I don’t know if I could ever find a buyer for this at even $50. They would have to be an artist. It will make a nice discussion item in the right...

Well this is a sad sight. This Goliath of a press saw plenty of action in its day. Anybody still using one of these?

Yes Bison and Buffalo are often identified incorrectly. While often domesticated in their native region, Buffalo in this case would have to have been planted. Bison however are widely hunted in North...
Glad you enjoyed it Rednecrob. I’ll make it a point to draft the Afognak Elk story soon. Cheers

Thanks glockfan... the Afognak Elk story is coming soon
And thank you for your service with MIANG. I too had some time with A-10 units. Heck of a war fighting platform. 70 rounds/second of 30mm distruction. After the elk story I’ll share the moose in...
Thanks Casting Fool, I’ll share the Afognak story another time. It was a bit more remote and just as rewarding.
Well I've told this story many times since it about 10 years ago but this is the first time I've written it down so this will be an adventure in it self.
After completing my government...
Very nice! Congrats. Scenery reminds me of Alaska winter hunts.

Well I’m surprised at all the interest but it is moving to a new home. I’m not sure why Beau would get rid of a 550. Then again I reload slowly and with good background music on. I guess it’s...

G’day Paul.
I had a blast on my trip to Australia. Flew into Cairns and played in the water and on the beach then drove down to Sydney and played in the Blue Mountians. What a hoot.
Cheers

I don’t know if this thread readers will shun me but I recently purchased a Lyman Great Plain flinter kit. I got hooked shooting flinter with a friend in CO that works at the Mountain Man in Manitou...

That sounds more like what I was thinking. This one was sitting around when I help an old timer cut down rifle brass to make .45 ACP shot loads 25 yeas ago. The family let me pick through some old...

This one is over 20 years old.
