Uh, let's use the proper terminology here........Gustatory Rhinitis. Thanksgiving, when I was younger, always included my father's shrimp cocktail appetizer with his "special" cocktail sauce and at some point we'd always see my grandmother's eyes squeeze shut and her cheeks turn red when it...

I recently bought a Japanese Murata bolt-action shotgun made, best I can figure, around 1870. The action is slightly cruder than the model adopted by Japan in 1880. The action still works perfectly thanks to some tlc on my part but there's a bit of pitting corrosion inside the barrel. I had...

My wife wants one too; can you have one here by Christmas?!!!

Great for you! It leaves more $$$ for guns and ammo!

Always one of my favorites.

Man it's painful to see that bison burned like that.

Was at the antique clock repair shop yesterday, picking one up and dropping one off, and the owner mentioned that he now uses Nano Oil on the clock movements; that it allows the clocks to actually run longer when wound due to less friction on the mainspring. I asked him if it might work well on...
