My grandfather served as an NCO in the Kaiser's army in Russia, wonder if they really used this back then? I use Ballistol, love it, BUT, it is made of mineral oil. Mineral oil is not good for leather or gun stocks, in spite of what the can says. I used to work for GRRW in the late 70's, been a custom riflemaker/bagmaker since then.

Because I am an American and from the day, we chew ourselves off our mother's umbilical cord to the day a wild animal eats us, we are fighters born to wrestle nature itself into submission and sometimes we make soup. Well not really, but if a guy wants to cut up a hotdog and fill a plastic bowl with hot tap water, it is not my place to tell him how to live his best life, I am no relationship expert by a longshot but on a first date this is the kind of soup that says yes I have skills but I am not thinking I am better than you, and chicks respond to that big time. It’s a baby making move for sure. In America you can bake and build a gingerbread house, or a village with a gumdrop wheelchair ramp if you want to, and if you are like me, you like a woman that was a bad seed but now, she just wants to grow into a good bush that becomes a shade tree one day. Here is what I can tell you if your neighbor gets a dog, you gonna hear it bark and sooner or later it will poop outside. But you know the color of the ticking you use and for what is your choice, you have a mind but you also have a heart, make sure you listen to both of them.

@@ChacoteOutdoorRecreation In other words you don't know.

Was not always that way, and sure is not the knifes fault, it is the fault of the almost blind arthritic guy that tasked that knife with many things dulling it in the dark processing Elk and a bunch of other stuff, it never let me down, maybe not as sharp as she once was but neither am I or my skill with the stone, either way I would not trade her for all the tea in China. Josh you may see an old dog that can barely walk and can't go far from the truck anymore, but to his owner that dog is the best dam dog in this world, understanding that comes with a lot of pain and punches to the heart, common wounds for the old, In fact Josh I hope you don't understand any of this for a very long time.

What are you hunting? How much weight can you handle on your back? Will there be snow?

Hey is this Sam from Java?

Thankyou Sergeant

Have you ever tried shoving a pocket watch in that pocket? The vest and its pockets as well as the button retention device and fob, and countless historic photos make me think otherwise. 1873 - Blue Jeans Are Born Levi Strauss & Co. and Jacob Davis receive a U.S. patent for an "Improvement in Fastening Pocket-Openings." By adding metal rivets to work pants, and they are worn by working men for whom a pocket Watch is a rare luxury item. In 1914, Henry Ford astonished the industrial world when he practically doubled the wages of his assembly line workers to $5.00 per day (for a six-day week), thus making them nearly the highest-paid hourly workers. Adjusted for inflation an inexpensive pocket watch would be over 700 bucks today.

In 1908, pistol dueling was demonstrated as part of the concurrent Franco-British Exhibition, using the Olympic fencing arena and in front of invited guests. There were no official demonstration sports until 1912. The competition involved two competitors firing at each other with dueling pistols loaded with wax bullets and wearing protective equipment for the torso, face, and hands.

What is the greatest of all Protestant heresies? Perhaps justification by faith? Perhaps Scripture alone, or one of the other Reformation watchwords?" The greatest of all Protestant heresies is assurance. "The great diversity of Protestant doctrines stems from the doctrine of private judgment, which denies the infallible authority of the Church and claims that each individual is to interpret Scripture for himself. This idea is rejected in 2 Peter 1:20, where we are told the first rule of Bible interpretation: “First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation.” A significant feature of this heresy is the attempt to pit the Church “against” the Bible, denying that the magisterium has any infallible authority to interpret Scripture. This doctrine of private judgment has resulted in thousands of different Christian denominations and quasi-Christian splinter groups throughout history. The Protestant Bible is missing seven books compared to the Catholic Bible, meaning it is incomplete. Missing books are known as the Apocrypha or deuterocanonical books, including Tobit, Judith, Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Baruch, and Sirach. King Henry did not like having to yield his royal authority to the Vatican in matters concerning how he maintained the religious institutions of his own kingdom. He was motivated to make the reforms so that he could divorce his first wife who had failed to provide him with a male heir. Divorce was forbidden by the church that was founded by Christ, Mathew 16-18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

I used a V notch for the octagonal barrel, for a cap and ball revolver you might try as U shape notch, four pieces of wood and some screws and a little gorilla glue for extra strength, plus that little storage box helps keep things handy, and it beats loading off hand.
