    Gas Grills

    Well I ordered the small Weber in the picture recommended by Loutent and judging by the reviews can't go wrong. Thanks for all the suggestions and input.

    Gas Grills

    Well I need a new one and would love a Weber but have a 400.00 cut off money wise. I see Dyna Glo with stainless steel components getting good reviews but the choices are endless. Any recommendations? Thanks

    Does any stores sell heated cashew nuts anymore?

    I remember JJ Newberry store 50+ years ago had them for 10 cents a bag seemed like a 1/4 lb. Tastiest stomach ache I ever had every Saturday morning.

    Buying hornet brass right now is practically impossible unless you go to the auction sites and you can expect to overpay for it.

    What was your first gun?

    Your first gun was a good one. Mine was a Savage bolt action 22 at age ten followed by a Stevens 16ga single shot. Can't begin to tell you what that hobby turned in to.

    Should a "mint" gun have scratches?

    Mint condition is a reference started by coin dealers originally if I am correct and means as it left production. He would have to examine the gun carefully to give it that condition designation. Sounds fishy to me especially without the three day inspection with option to return.

    Boot recommendations

    Have had good luck with Chippewas some are US made and some in China. Make sure you get a pair with the sewn welt not glued.

    3 1/2 inch and 5 inch 27-2's REAL world pricing.

    If I didn't already own the described guns I would probably just forget owning them unless a ton of money came my way. I have wanted a Colt Diamondback 22 for years but refuse to "puke up" 2k+ to own one. Excuse my terminology but the price tag makes me sick.

    Your experience with sellers that have zero feedback?

    It might seem a little "shaky" being the first but if you trust your instincts you are usually right. I would be OK with it.

    mounting .22 scope

    Low rings should be fine with that set up. I have two of those scopes they are great on a small game rifle.

    Just Had A Strange Thing Happen.....

    The younger crowd with cell phones only may not be as dumb as we think. It takes far longer to infect cell phones than land lines and they can be changed more easily.

    Revolver values

    I can't say the value with absolute certainty because things are changing fast. What I do know for sure is the value is going up not down.

    Justify this for me, please

    You are correct. Fran Longtin was a great guy to deal with as I made several trips there for target triggers and hammers. He once installed a smooth combat trigger in a 5" 27 with the promise that I would like it much better, he was right. If I remember correctly the marble lobby was decorated...

    I missed the non-football cut out, my bad.

    Justify this for me, please

    N frame smooth target S&W grips listed on a famous grip auction site currently with six days left ( not mine ). At twelve bids it's over 411.00. Maybe those guys paying 2k to 3k for their model 27's finally found the grips they want.

    Old vs New N Frames

    I would consider new S&W revolvers to be the nicest on the market today if it wasn't for all those P&R's still lurking in the secondary market places. Especially when many can be found in like new condition for the same money.

    5 inch Model 29

    That's a good point, not an insult. I have seen that mistake made many times.

    Why are longer barreled P&R less valuable?

    Back in the 70's long barrels were in demand for two reasons already mentioned, Dirty Harry and hand gun hunting. Today both of those factors have faded considerably. Add to that the inconvenience of lugging around a long, heavy sidearm in a holster without a specific need in mind and a short...

    E85 fuel

    I bought a new Ford Superduty in 2012 which is E85 compatible but never used it and hope I never have to. I would rather use E- free gas but can't find it anywhere near me.
