Whois shows it is “supposed to be” in arizona
traceroute show that it is refusing tcp connections.
So we can surmise that it is “comatose” … alive but not talking

The Barracks / Grand Army of the Frontier / medals
« Last post by Snake Oil on Yesterday at 10:39:52 PM »I was trying to get onto the Grand Army of the Frontier website at grandarmyofthefrontier.org and I couldn't connect. It was on my phone, so that might be part of the problem, but I'm curious if anyone else is having trouble?
The reason I was looking was to identify which medals we could wear on a uniform, I am seeing a lot of marksmen badges and a few sharpshooter badges, and in a few cases both together. There are some from US volunteers and a lot from the Pennsylvania National Guard.

Colt Firearms / My Mod.P
« Last post by Macon Due on Yesterday at 05:34:15 PM »Howdy Gents
I only have one 'real' Colt. It is a 3rd Generation mod.P in .45 Colt. A few years ago I sent it off for an action job and to have a set of real Elephant Ivories fitted. I don't shoot it a lot as I have a non-Colt or two so I keep it as my BBQ gun. I'll attach a picture.

HaHa, I know what you mean about a trot line weight ! Sure a big difference between an inadequate bullet and one of the correct shape like the rifle was designed for. I ordered my mold in a 3 cavity aluminum model and love it. The Spencer is indeed a 'Daisy' now !

If it was me ,I'd ask for the exact same mold [ the # 45-240E] to be used also in the .45 S&W..... I asked for it to cast a .452"-.453" bullet out of wheel weight material. it says the 'meplat' is .18 but in reality it runs closer to .202-.205". If a person wanted it a bit larger in diameter I might ask for a 'meplat of .222" in which case I would also ask for the bullet weight to be increased from 240g to about 255 grains cast from wheel weights with the extra weight in the nose length. In other words increase the length of the bullet but with the body of the bullet remaining the same length as it is now and the increase in overall length being in the nose. The reason for this being to ensure I did not end up with a less gently tapered , more stubby bullet than desired to function correctly.
Hope this helps.
