    They were about as big as my thumb. if there was any truth to him crawling, the tissue may have become infected, and possibly necrotic. So the infected dead tissue would have to be removed. Asked a Dr. about it. He had no info on damage from a .50. And he said he'd never treated a bullet...

They also had first aid, advanced first aid, marksman improvement, basic self defense, advanced self defense, and that's all I can remember. The self defense classes lasted 12...

    Yeah he has bullet holes, 11 of them not sure on caliber. He claimed .50 cal. Holes are about 3/4". I was in during the early 80s. The classes weren't official. Base personnel held them. Apparently a lot of people were getting drunk which led to trouble. So they figured if they occupied them...

    My SP is the one that was stolen because it was put on top of my mailbox. I actually saw it there. But before I went out to get it, it was gone. You know, tampering with the mail is a federal offence. With all the missing mail, why haven't there been any announcement about so and so being...

    Well it led to me on the porch with my gun, also with my knives, didn't mention those, to the reason why I carry so many knives. I also took classes while waiting for school to start. Rapelling, basic survival, basic sniper, silent sentry, you learn to kill quietly. These weren't like official...

    "Liquid Meerschaum"?

    I did Google it. Found squat. That's why I asked here. If its a meer dust concoction, then where do the people making those antler pipes find the stuff? Found meerschaum powder on Google. Didn't know to look for it. They sell it in China. Didn't see any other sellers like in Turkey. Unless its...

    "Liquid Meerschaum"?

    I've seen this mentioned on antler pipes. What exactly is it? Could it be used to repair meerschaum pipes? I've read where people have used self drying clay. Not in the bowl area. Just to repair a carving or shank crack after it's glued. Is it some bs name someone stuck on some concoction? Thanks

    I got mine, nearly deleted it cause I didn't recognize the email but took a second look. I delete everything I don't recognize because too many numbnuts trying to send malware in emails. Anyway let the games begin, maybe more appropriately, the game is afoot.

    Restoring Metal Falcon, Viking, and Unbranded Pipes

    Are you referring to testors chrome paint? They may be able to suggest the correct steps and primers that promote adhesion. They may even supply it. They may even have a metal model version. Since metal models have been around for some time. They gave an air of realism to model building. I've...
