thanks for the reference suggestion jrd1976, I finally tracked down a Second edition at my local library - that should get me close enough for what I was curious about

fistfights? I don't remember that merit badge - salutations from Jackson Ave (there were other opportunities, you just didn't take them :D )

agree with jlrhiner, I've found that those who were in the s#!) don't talk bout being in the... conditioned reflex is the key, after that it's just genetics.

say three Hail Mary's, two Our Father's and put a box of ammo through each one...

new to this thread, so cool to see Sarah get big - I know she'll be a great companion (aren't they all?). I've never been without a dog, and always have loved the working/hunting breeds. Best to you --

your first clue should be that you spelled whiskey with an "E" as you should :D although I can appreciate bourbon and some others, for me, there's nothing like The Tyrconnell. If you have to use ice or a mixer, then it doesn't matter what you're drinking - the ice destroys the aromatics of the...

like most folks here, I urge being prudent - but working a day/swing/grave rotating shift has given me the same issues you're talking of. Although sipping a shot before bed helps me, I think it's more due to the routine and "power down" aspect than the alcohol. I'm not using the knockout...

thanks for warm welcome Froggie - we just went shooting this past weekend and my 12yr old nephew was pegging the steel flip-target at 30yds. It is a nice little shooter.

I'm a fan of anyone who is great at their craft, and Scruggs was one of the greatest in his field - he redefined what is Bluegrass and made an example that young musicians still try to live up to. There never be another like that...

aah, CTG=cartridge, seems so obvious now. I was looking for "32" while I looked through the other threads, I'm sure I just skipped that info if it was associated with the other caliber's - thanks.

thanks for the quick replies, sorry I forgot about the serial#-- Butt & Cylinder both numbered: 688xx I didn't understand the remark that "CTG is the caliber"; apart from .32 Long, what does the "CTG" stand for?

1970-Cub Scouts, then Webeloes/Boy Scouts, but no Eagle; Life + everything but the service project. got sidetracked having fun as counselor/SPL (4wks summer camp for each of 4yrs was great; spent a few hours at the range too)... went on to asst.Scoutmaster. Great program, needs good leaders.

I've looked through the website but can't find reference material on this. Hoping for any info on the model/age/name/etc. of this revolver I recently inherited: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36737480/S%26W32/S%26W%2032long%20revolver.jpg it has wear/scratches from use; barrel reads: 32 LONG CTG...

from AL but residing in TN, I'll most likely return to AL after I retire. My uncle recently passed away, and I came here looking for info. He was a retired police captain, and left me a small collection of revolvers and long guns (17 pistols). Apart from a few WW2 items, the bulk of his...
