Checked the stock market lately..... about to take an express elevator to HE E L L.... checked Gold lately. Today it is $1926. With the shi-t going on in the world and the current conditions in this country I no longer trust our economy. I hope I am wrong but I am loosing faith in our dollar. Buy Gold!

Been doing that since the late1970's. TINS. My system has been simple and truly effective:

I care not what the fake price of gold is at any time. What I have done is to just have a steady "stipend" into a box -- and when the amount in said box is enough for a buy... I buy. I never ever sell.

I have purchased Krugerrands at my LCD for $198 total. Fiat money is fake.

Back in 1900, you could buy a brand new Colt Single Action Army revolver in 45LC for an ounce of gold.
You still can.

I had one of them. It was fun, but the dang thing had to have those pesky half-moon clips in order fire "real" .45 ammo. And them half-moon clips ALWAYS got stuck after you have fired all six rounds.

I remember actually using a fargin hammer to hit the ejector rod. PITA. Dunno who I gave it to.

Why would you go through the trouble when a 45LC is ballistically superior, other than the fact that the brass used to be cheaper?
Gotta fire up my old computer. I'll show ya some hoglegs

Screw the politics. How does bitcoin hold up to EMP bursts?

Mine is stored in a small nano wallet. Safe until grid Comes back, properly stored..

If it doesn't come back,
Or block chain doesn't return, that will be the least of our worries.

@ Buba, agree that always try and buy low and sell high. But also the dollar lost 7% last year. So it is like a double edged sword. I see that continuing to happen with the current administration. I don't understand the stock market ....way over priced for me. BOOM!!!!

And as the dollar sinks, gold rises. Sort of like the relationship between stocks and bonds.

My Grandfather would always give us Kennedy half dollars when we visited. The ones from 1964 were silver. Later years were a sandwich of copper and "pewter" as he would say.

There was always a joke about "sixty-four Kennedy half's are worth thirty-two dollars."

The silver ones very well may sell for thirty-two dollars today, but 64 of ANY half dollars are worth thirty two dollars. haha. Yes, I'm trashed.

Hmmm. A little bag of money popped in there.

Half moon clips are for .45ACP use in revolver, right? ( I own no wheel guns) .45 LC is a rimmed brass if I recall? Going from memory here! The only wheel gun I occasionally get an itch for is .45LC. Kind of a misnomer, LC is long Colt, which infers there is a Short Colt, which there isn't.

Right now, only .45 guns I have are .45 ACP. I wouldn't trouble with half moons, just get the LC chambered gun and be done with it.

And that right there is how I talk myself into buying a new gun! It works every time. Just plug in the gun you want. Pretty soon you will NEED that piece.

Becuz I wuz a GI at the time, making $91.30 a month. GI-Issue .45's were essentially free. The 45LC rounds were not even available locally. And they were terribly expensive.

It wuz a no-brainer.

exactly

if the grid goes down one will be able to trade small bottles of booze and cigarettes for gas and food , gold and silver just like bitcoin cannot be digested very good


maybe we need to start a Guns and Ammo Thread so this one can stay on point with no Thread Drift?

I got a Red Ryder long rifle that is better than all y'all's old stupid guns.

 

[Unca Walt]

That's a musket. No rifling. It was the precursor to this one, which had a piece of pyrite that whirled -- being driven by a clockwork mechanism to ignite the powder pan. It also required an oar-lock lookin' support. That is what I got in my right hand in the pic.

Fargin thing weighed about the same as a pig. (M60's weighed a tad over 23 pounds, if you can believe it. Moreover, there HAD to be a spare barrel along with the guy lugging a pig in the grass.)
