They are. It's always nice to see Jim and talk to him a bit too. He's a hard working guy.

which one's Jim?

Evening all

Promised KJQ I'd post this picture of Winchester cartridges

L-R 32-20, 30-30, 32 Special, 32-40.

evening leadeye.

Thanks for the reference picture. For some reason the .32 special is bigger than I thought it would be.

which one's Jim?

He's the owner...small framed guy with gray hair around his temples. Pakistani I think. I know his wife got stuck there the one time when she went back to visit her family. I think it took him at least a year to get her back home. I think the twins were with her. They weren't letting her return here for some reason, but it finally got straightened out. I don't believe they have been able to visit their families since then.

An excellent hunting cartridge in it's range it competed with the 30-30 and has slowly lost ground. You can still find modern ammo around, Remington still makes it.

OK, I know now. Never had the chance to talk with him. I talk with the younger workers. One of them always has an academy shirt on.

He usually has a pretty good crew in there.

Are you sure you don't want this boat that I have sitting here? I think you need it. Hubby and my son are both impressed because it has a steering wheel. Apparently, there is some real coolness to that.

We were rather surprised to find out that the trolling motor actually works! I did have to order a propeller for it though...the one on it is not going to work. Total width is approximately 2 inches currently. A HUGE mouse nest was discovered today and....hubby's knee went through the floor while installing an ignition switch or something. I told him he better win powerball tonight if he really thinks he is going to sink money into this thing.

No thanks. Sounds like a keeper to me.

Hi KJQ

Hi CM

32-20 ballistics out of an 1892 should be about the same as an M1 carbine, really no recoil.

I say slap a pirate flag on it, toss it out there in the lake and make it the new pirate ship! I think it would work!
