But sometimes I just can't keep it to myself.

Oh my....... that gap between the haves and the have-nots just keeps growing.. sigh....
Nice looking machine, however.. :)
And Tim, the DP 28 has been in the holdings of the Castle Armory since the Castle opened for business on the web, back in 2003.
[Don't mind me, I'm just fixing what I broke - the Armorer]
It's in the rules.

And safer, too, on a weapon that might get handled.
We gots rulez about loaded guns at Castle Argghhh!
Maybe something really impressive, like, well I dunno.... How about This, this, this, this or these?
I really like the last two, but only when I'm out of needler or shotgun ammo.
:-)
Except JTG. He understands that all to well, and in disturbing ways.
Welcome back to DigitalWorld, JTG!
emdfl - that one is a dummy. There's a semi in-bound.

Heyo Seza,
I've got a whirlpool dryer that just went sour (runs but no heat). I can tape a magazine to it if that'd get you interested in fiddlin' with it.... would a copy of Guns & Ammo do?
:-]
<sorry, just in a mood. the dryer did go bad. been trouble shooting. it's NOT a clogged vent, circuit breaker, blown fuse or anything cheap and easy... time for the multimeter and the parts lists... phoeey>
It also reminds me of the time anoteh genius cooked a can of baked beans in a toaster oven. The can exploded, the toaster oven was completely destroyed (laid out like a cardboard box ready to be folded. Best of all, the explosion sent baked beans all over the barracks room (bunks, wall lockers, posters, windows, stereos, floors, etc), AND it pulverized the big magnet in the JBL speaker standing next to table. Good thing it wasn't my room or my speaker. I'd have been a bit PO'd.
One of the first fires I covered for the paper was out in the county and I actually got there before any of the volunteer fire departments did. I was walking around the house taking pictures when the first fire truck pulled up. After they were set up I stayed further back, out of the way. I was talking to the owner and expressing my condolences on his loss when I said something about the fire really crackling. He looked at me and gave a sort of funny laugh and said something about it not being the fire but several thousand rounds of various calibers of ammo going off. A couple of weeks later I was at an auction and picked up an old safe cheap and put all my ammo and Pyrodex in there.
NDS - the last thing you want all your Pyrodex, other powder and ammo to be in is a safe. Generally the powders will go whoosh, and as JTG says the ammo will usually just pop off. See Hathcer's Notebook for his experiments using a cardboard box as a catcher for bits of exploding cartridges. However, confining powder in a rigid container like an old safe can make it into a bomb, as you can develop enough pressure to cause the stuff to explode. I keep my powders in an old wooden ammo box (they made them that way for a reason) inside a steel cupboard that would burst before it became too much of a problem. If you do not have much powder, you should be right, but be aware of the risks. Put a explosives sign on the door, and if it catches fire, see if anybody else can run as fast as you!
