Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I made that barrel from a hatfield 36cal......being very good rifling, and old it may shoot good.....but it's just a wall,hanger.....she likes the way it 'shoulders'......she shoots even at 80yr old....has a Winchester 22 I gave her years ago.....and a shotgun.....

She's my best buddy!......I'd give her anything she wants....

There was a documentary on TV that led me to that particular ancestor. That link would take me back to the early 1700 and SC.
