New from SW Florida
« on: December 06, 2023, 10:59:15 PM »
Hi gang, I’m new here from Lee County Florida. Just saying hi! My only Colt is an 1862 pocket police (Uberti). I have a Remington 1858 and an 1863. Just picked up a Roger’s & Spencer(Euroarms). Just started with black powder about 3 years ago and loving it. I like modern firearms too but enjoying black powder more.

Welcome to CC from NW Californey - the epicenter of fruits, nuts, weed, wine and neoliberal wokeness.  Fentanyl too.
Your Lee County was actually named after Robert E.,
imagine that.
We have a Ft. Bragg here locally, named after Braxton - but no one knows that.  Anyway,
welcome to Colt Country.

They know about it. There was talk about changing it awhile back.

Welcome from the southwest corner of Idaho. Jealous of your weather right about now. I'll take overglorified and embellished (by the lying media) cutesy little rainfall, ( (7+" (7+" ) over snow, 8 days a week, and thrice on Sunday.
