Haven't been on in a while.

[skeet]

Been gone back east dealing with docs and hospitals and nurses and all kinds of stuff. After getting squared away with good news for a change I have done a bit of buying yard saling and auction things in the last month or 2. So went to a garage sale here this evening. I'm not too much on traditional muzzleloading but I just couldn't turn this one down. I bought a S&W Model 48 which is like a K-22 in 22 mag. 6 inch but when I was making the deal it had to include me buying a Thompson Center Hawken 50 cal Flintlock gun. Got the T-C with 2 lbs of Black FFg 200 490 Round balls patches cleaning stuff range rod and the original box. I got them both for 650 bucks. So I know I done good. I might even shoot that Flinter(but not much). When I was back east I went to an auction on the Eastern Shore of Va..and while I bought just one gun(Rem 788 6mm) I kinda cleaned up on reloading stuff. Like 8 lbs of IMR powder for 50 bucks 15000 CCI mostly pistol primers for a 100 bucks. Got 2000 Sper and Sierra 357 and 44 bullets for 5 bucks a box. One of the better buys was a Remington 513T stock with all military cartouches for 5 dollars. Lots of other stuff too. After getting home I found a pair of 41 mag handguns one NM BlackHawk 4 5/8 inch and a gun I have been searching for..a 4 inch Model 57 S&W. I've bought other stuff but mostly just trading stock. I did go into a local gun shop to drop off some powder the gal that owns it needed and lo and behold she had a pretty little 1892 Winchester that had been re-barreled to 44 mag. To me not a good 44 mag but it shoots hotter end 44 specials and fairly hot loads for 44-40 in 44 mag cases. Heck the price was right and it was an early gun from 1894. You know I had to have it. Other guns lately but mostly trading stuff. Now I have to stay away from Hospitals. Getting old sucks
