SASS wire Forum fauxpa

[Rye Miles]

I?ve gotta old shotgun coming too. A gussied up Model 17 Marlin 12 ga pump. My first non takedown model. I probably will need to use my shorty shells as it?s chamber has more than likely not been lengthened.

Guys, I started this thread after an interesting experience at the sass wire. Can we call this one quits and agree to disagree. Last thing that I wanted was to create hard feelings here at cascity.

You got it pard!

Hey Guys.  I have an almost Brandy Knew Pietta Hammer Double on the Cason.  Rolling my way.  I say almost Brandy Knew as it hasn't been fired, but it has made the "circuit" of Manufacturer, Dealer and Shot Show as a Sample Example.  Probably been opened and closed a thousand times (a good thing).  Nickel frame, dark wood, checkered wrist and fore arm.  Should be a nifty "one off."  Can't wait (except I have too).  Yum Yum

Virus:
avoid crowds
wash hands often
use alcohol based cleaners
wear a mask if you really really need/want to.
     guess what the common surgical masks are N95 and work just fine.
     you don;t need a positive pressure helmet or even a completely  tight seal around your face,
     you are trying to guard against a temporary cloud of microscopic droplets coming STRAIGHT AT YOURT FACE,
     the cloud disperses quickly, and the little devils are NOT trying to cl;aw their way into your body like ticks or fleas.

Above All,  Be Nice and Don't Panic.

Oh My yes, the deadly Marlin shotgun....

I have one. Grandpas shotgun. Some dweeb scratched crap into it and "embelished' by carving what is supposed to be a duck and a skull and crossbones
into the side of the buttstock. Turns out it is one step down from the "premium" grade. On the good side, whislt cleaning the gunk off I  found the prior
owners lightly scratched his name on the side, and I tracked them down to a Chicago suburb from the pre- WW2 census!

Fortunately, I found a complete spare barrel/mag tube, complete buttstock, and spare firing pin on flea bay and I am in the process of restoring it.
It always shot light loads fine for us, nad frankly I think the 1897's that can slam fire are no more safer....  but opinions may vary - and Maurader has a great website all
about it.  :-)

- Wash hands with soap and water, all over, for 20 seconds.  Dry with clean towel or cloth.
- If soap and water are not available, you can use hand sanitizer that is at least 60% (120 proof) alcohol.  Again, rub all over hands - front, back, between fingers.  Continue until dry.  Do not use towel to dry hands.
- If hands are dirty or oily, hand sanitizer is not effective.
- If you follow proper hand washing protocols, latex gloves are not necessary.  If you don't, they won't help.

- In the lab n95 masks work better than surgical masks, in practice (even in hospitals) they don't.  A properly fitted n95 mask is uncomfortable and restricts breathing. (Note: n95 masks are not effective for oils.  Coronavirus have a lipid (oil) covering.  This is why soap and alcohol are effective).

- The use of masks AND hand cleanliness is necessary to reduce infection by the general public.  It does not eliminate the risk of infection, however.
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0029744

- The strict use of masks and respirators by the general public can reduce infection, but the difference between surgical masks and n95 respirators is not not significant.  Strict compliance by the general public is a problem, as such, the use of masks is not seen as better than not using them.

For most people the cottage industry, reusable, washable, cloth masks will work just fine and will save the medical grade surgical masks and respirators for the healthcare industry and the industrial respirators for people in essential jobs who need them to work safely, like agriculture and industries.  Remember, the main purpose of masks is to keep from spreading the disease, not protecting you from catching it (The same is true in hospitals). 

Even cooler than cloth masks are bandannas.  They will cover the nose, mouth and side of face.

Finally, as Professor Marvel says: Be nice and don't panic.

California is closing gun shops as non-essential?  Gee, they finally got an excuse!  So far Colorado hasn't done that, as far as I know this afternoon.  But, I don't need no stinkin' gun shops! What do I need with a(nother) gun?  I only got two hands!

Governor Abbott says Texas gunshops are essential.
