The original 1860's were bored to .36 caliber below the rebated cylinder and then bored to .44 caliber above the rebated portion. That is why 30 grains of gun powder appears to only fill half of each cylinder in the modern repros. DON'T go beyond 30 grains. Bad things start to happen, like the pi...

I had a Mormon principal when I was teaching in the CA public school system. I am convinced that he believed he was God!

I only wish that I could be as good a person as my dog thinks I am.

Nice story. Dogs are a big part of my life and family too.

This woman is really demented. Hannity should have called in an exorcist!

I loved their music when I first heard them in 1961. I got the chance to see them live in the 90's with my daughter who grew up listening to my old LP's of PP&M. I am sure she is in heaven making beautiful harmony with a choir of angels.

I saw them live in Las Vegas back in the 90's with my daughter who also grew up listening to my old LP's of PP&M. I am so glad that we both experienced them live and got to meet with them after the show. I am sure Mary is in heaven making some beautiful harmony with a choir of angels.

Thanks man, you're a life saver!!!

Goes to show you that you can never go home again.

She is a Scotch Kate Smith--brilliant!

If you look at the 60 army, it too sits on a medium frame that is rebated (notched) in order to take the bigger cylinder and thus, the heavier 44 caliber load. If you look for the notched frame you will always be able to tell a 60 army f...

@biggunzman I bet the original ignition system was probably a slow match (burning rope). It was most likely lowered by a separate armature into the vent to ignite the main charge. In any event, there probably was a lot of accidental discharges, injuries and deaths. The life of a powder monkey in ...

Thanks for your response Rob. I have forwarded your video to my pickin' friends. Its just a matter of constant repetition until it becomes part of your "muscle memory." Not too many blue grass aficionados here in Las Vegas, but we have a fair amount state wide. If you ever get down to my neck of ...

Thanks Rob. The choir at our church does this one also. Terrific rendition. Happy Easter to you and yours.

The reconstruction that Lincoln planned to undertake was forever destroyed by the acts of Booth and the other conspirators. I firmly believe that had Lincoln lived, the issues that we faced in the 1960's, one hundred years after the start of the war, would have been resolved long, long ago. No do...
