Since I started on my M37 a lot of dynamics have changed and I now realize it will take a little less time for coal to turn to diamonds that what it will for me to finish the truck. So to cut my losses I'm selling out. I have a good bed, needs a little work, and it is off the truck. The worse thing ...

Well, you all have hit on money hungry CEO's, unions, foreign car makers, but you're missing one of the big ones-the Federal Government. Throw in the state governments as well. The Governors of Michigan and Ohio are crying for the Fed Bailout, but oddly enough they don't suggest to suspend state sal...

Not available anymore. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago. I might end up living in it according to the wife.

First of all, thanks to all you that ask and answer questions on this forum. I sincerely hope that someday someone will ask a question that will require my low level of expertise. Until that time, I am mighty gratefull to you all. Second, I am lucky enough to work for a company that keeps expanding,...

Try Lehman's Hardware on line for natural wood handle tools. They're out of Kidron, Ohio.

Don't know if you'll be in town or in Ky., but May 3&4 Richland County Fairgrounds host the Mansfield Civil War Show. Lots of rifles and parts so you might be able to find what you need for your Trapdoor and pistols maybe.

Thanks! Some good advice. I think I'll try to source a couple rounds around here. Don't want to get into reloading myself because after a couple rounds I'll put it away. Any more than that and with my luck I'd drop it down the holler or something similar. Thanks again.

Anyone out there ever mess with Trapdoors? I picked one up last week at a gunshow--absolute impulse buy but great shape w/cartouche (sp?). Is the .45-70 Govt off the shelf ammo safe to use or should I hunt up a specialty outfit?

Sam Winer's closes up on Saturdays around noon!

Hey Jeff,
I didn't think it was too far. I have a brother that lives there that might be interested. I'll shoot him an email.
Thanks.

Hey Jeff,
How far is Denton from Flower Mound?

Also Junker,
You might try Sam Winers in Akron, Ohio. I was there just before Christmas and he had one there that didn't look too bad for around $3500. I think he said it ran. But Akron isn't real far from NW PA.

Hey Tom,
sent a couple of scans to your work email. Hope they get through alright. If you need anything else let me know.

Somehow whenever "Government Engineer" is mentioned I immediately think of the story of 100 blind men describing an elephant. I'm not real sure of this but I think by 45 the bayonet went on the cartridge belt anyway. Grabbing the bayo from the side of the pack is difficult to say the least...

I can't say I know what you're going thru, but I feel for you. The only physical problem I've had to deal with in my 52 was a hernia, and I got that from using my back more than my brain. So you might keep that 'not using my brain' stuff in mind during the rest of this post. Life has sure seemed to ...

That's a good price and a great looking truck. I think you're timing is a little off. Times a little tough and so close to Christmas, folks are holding back a bit. Perhaps if you can hold on till spring there'll be more interest and more bidders with dough. Or better still by spring you'll decide to...
