Old times

[dryheat]

Just for fun, I ramped back about fifty pages. I remember some of the names.

Go back 50 pages on the oher forums like the M1, M14 and reloading if you really want to see old timers and sage comments.

Last week I was on the shooters Forum when a moderator started talking about what happens to brass when formed, I suggested we think about it and then he suggested everyone knows. And then I suggested everyone knows but him, I believe he has thin skin.

which shooters forum?

You are saying this does not bother you? I do not believe it should be allowed on any forum. The same moderator accused me of Voodoo reloading, he accused me risking reloaders lives with my advice. 3 months later he starts a response with "No biggie, I have been doing it for years and then he does a cut and paste of my response on adjusting a press. He should feel more secure; I do not know what he is afraid of.

Guffy - once again you have taken a thread and steered it away from what it opened with discussing. How does your percieved insult comment about brass forming have anything to do with recognising old member posters that may only still lurk here, or may have moved on because they don't post now?

PWC, please forgive; still lurk here or moved on, I remember most of the members in Michigan moving on. I contacted two of them to find out what the problem was. T
hey all pointed at a moderator that lived just north of Chicago and south of Wisconsin near the lake. I explained to them I would drop-in on him, he threatened some members with a law suit. I wanted to make sure he understood I was going to help the alienated members. In my opinion he had nothing going for him and he was too lazy to earn any respect so he tried to demand it.

I do not know how many pages ago all of this stuff took place; what I do know is I do not travel as much as I did back then.

I believe what set them off was their lack of knowledge about cleaning rods. As a bonus I thought I could help them with an improvement in cleaning rod patches; I believe I blew their minds when I tried to introduce an adjustable patch. I do not believe I was threatening their 'go to' status. I struggle with the ideal the cleaning rod does all of the muzzle tapering. I believe the user should take some of the responsibility. They had absolutely no interest in considering they were doing 'it' wrong.

A few weeks before that I tried to help them with chamber casting. Seems they had the illusion they were checking head space. I did not have to wait long before their brain trusts claimed it could not be done, he said it was impossible to measure head space with a chamber casting. I disagreed, I informed him there are two shooters/reloaders that can cast a chamber for head space. I tried to inform him I have been casting chambers for many years. When I started, I did not have anyone to give me any bad habits. All I had was a pile of tools and gun parts: and the attitude "All I have to do is etc. etc...

For my effort I was threatened with a 1-month ban. Reminded me about 'thinking about' going to a Jimmy Buffett concert; I was told it was not nice to beat Jimmy to the words of his own songs.

eclectic: am I surrounded with forum members that do not have shop skills? Adjustable patches, if you have never heard of an adjustable patch, it would help me if you would say something like "I never heard of an adjustable patch" or I never heard of a cleaning rod being used to taper the muzzle/bore.

You are the most eclectic thinker I know.

Thank you.

I cannot see you making an effort, I will assume you use cleaning rods and patches, I will assume you have never heard of a cleaning rod tapering the bore as it is pulled/pushed through the bore; me? If the cleaning rod is rubbing the bore with a negative effect, I am going to change my method and or technique. If the cleaning rod bows when pushed through the bore, I am going to pull it through and or change my methods and or techniques.

Guffey, sometimes I think you read something on another site, then post your answer here....as always, I know you have to have the last post in a thread, so go ahead.

as I cannot see you making an effort to make a comment in a clear and concise method,

if the rod bows,, you may be doing something wrong,
