Re: New Weapons for our Soldiers

I wonder how much JMB has invested in the 30 and 50 cal guns? Bet it was much less than 100 grand and far less 400 million with over run! :D Ma Deuce has been laying down the law for almost 100 years and still scares the he!! out of me!

Re: 45 ACP Levergun -- Custom built 30 yrs ago.

Shooting my favorite load of a 200 grain H&G #68 SWC in my lever, 1911's and Smith 625's is joy for me. I love the 45 ACP. It is hard to explain, I guess it like telling someone why I still ride a motorcycle everyday. Thank you for posting the article!!! http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/p...
