Re: Irons and boards
I still have 4 of the Howell brand sad irons, my Mother used them into the 1950's, heated them on the old coal and wood stove.
In later years, she was fond of remarking that "the only thing good about the good old days is that they're gone. "

Re: Cimmarron MP415 Model P .45 Colt SAA Failure
I have no idea if this was an overcharge or not, but it sure would seem to be the most likely culprit. Over 60 years ago , a local gunsmith was teaching my father and I about reloading. He stressed to us that we should NEVER shoot anyone else's reloads or reload for anyone else. I have strictly adhe...
