A recent issue of Texas Monthly has an article covering the ongoing restoration of the Battleship Texas, and included this cool shot of the breech for one of its 14-inch main guns. Pretty cool.

They’re pretty sweet, sadly they don’t look like that anymore. Kinda look like a Ruger No 1 these days

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
