That IS health insurance. What we have today is prepaid healthcare. It is like car insurance paying for tires, brakes, and oil changes. Some doctors are now advertising menu style pricing for services. I believe this will continue to more and more popular.

Well, .gov made illegal catastrophic care insurance. It was affordable and what we should all have anyway.

I am planning to retire in just over a year. I am a little apprehensive about it as it gets closer. I like my job, but can retire with insurance and roughly half my pay. I figure if I become broke or bored, I can always find something else to do. At least it will be a change.

This was a trait I hadn’t really noticed until I married. Luckily, my wife is gracious enough to point it out on a regular basis.

What to do with inherited muzzle loaders?

Sounds like a cool old man. It would be neat to find some of his notes regarding loads. I expect you can find the ammo, but it won’t be cheap. -

The 32/20 Contender barrel sounds interesting. -

There may come a time you wish you had them back. -
Looks good, but I’m afraid it is missing sighting equipment. What is it comprised of? I was aware the side charging bolts were available, but am not familiar with who makes the receivers and bolts.

I think they’d average a hundred bucks apiece or so, as they are all modern. The Knight would bring a bit more. They’d sell, and they’re just like selling a car wheel....no dealers, background checks, etc. Why don’t you read up on them and shoot them a bit before parting with them? A lot of us really enjoy shooting them, and they can be about as accurate as many modern firearms. Their utility afar outweighs their current value in my opinion. Just he sure to thoroughly clean and oil them after firing, as powder and caps are corrosive! P.S. Make damn sure he didn’t leave any of them loaded before attempting to load them. -
Good grief! I think even I could manage to turn a profit with a well known and respected gun and ammo manufacturing business right now.

Find out how the repos are disposed of in your area. Not being in a hurry will usually pay dividends.

Blue's Landing. If it hasn't changed and you enjoy Cajun food, it's worth trying.

Ain't much excitement up here in Macon County either.

Is that bar and grill across the highway from the inn still open? I can’t remember the name of it, but the food there was really good. I really miss the Airpark Inn that burned on Reelfoot Lake. Sorry to derail your thread.
-
In Paris? Surely these folks were bussed in. When are they going to reopen the inn at Paris Landing? I love it up there.

I do not have the load in memory, but I have also loaded 100 grain half jacket bullets in the 30-30 atop pistol powder. It makes a great varmint and plinking load. If memory serves it shoots really close to the same point of impact as my favored deer load at reasonable ranges. I haven’t shot my old 94 Winchester in a long time. This makes me want to dig it out of the safe.
-
It was my first gun; an H&R. It also has a 20 gauge barrel. It is cool, light, and handy.
-
I have a single shot 30-30 and have loaded and shot spitzer bullets in it with good results.
-
Today, the 30-30 has gained the reputation as a slow, incapable, and outdated cartridge. Truth is that it is just as accurate and deadly as it was 125 years ago. I do not believe North America has produced a creature that can’t be reliably taken with the old 170 grain Silvertip load. What actually happened is that we have largely become slow, incapable hunters expecting our gear to make up for our shortcomings.

Bit of course says this guy planning to build a garage.
