A few months ago, my step-dad gave me his 1965 "Western Field" .22 semi-auto rifle. It's a Mossberg 351C that was branded for and sold by Montgomery Wards. It's beginning to show signs of sitting in the back of his closet for the better part of 30 years bit it's still a reliable shooter. And yes ...

Re: Males Are Now Wearing Makeup
I've worn stage makeup when doing plays (many, many moons ago) and, I have to admit, I have used concealer to cover hand and wrist tattoos during job interviews. I got the jobs so it must have been ok.

Re: Word use that drives you up the wall!
Orientate...you can orient something or you can determine it's orientation....orientate is NOT a word. I've had this discussion with several teachers throughout my childrens' school careers.

Powder availability??
I'll be moving to the Houston area (probably Cypress or Tomball to be more exact) soon. I usually use 700X, 800X and Titegroup for .45 ACP & 9mm.
