An Uninformed Seller
Last night I sent e-mail to a seller on Gun Broker about a K-frame bobbed hammer. I asked if it still had the ability to be used SA. I received a somewhat incredulous reply asking a) why I would want to cock a bobbed hammer,and b)how would I do that safely. I replied that by starting the hammer back with the trigger, cocking could be finished using the ball of the thumb. Skeeter Skelton described it in "Shooting Times". I thought everybody knew that. I had a Model 60 once that was bobbed and used SA on a few occasions while out bird hunting or fishing.

Major book-larnin' Illiteracy among the younger set --
and still the regular ol' unteachable ignorant, that have assured us 'thet the .30-30 was THE US miltary cat'ridge" 'cause nah Daddy carried one in WW2, an' he tol' me so." & etc. Choose y'r pet piece of hoary misinformed tradition, and currently -- Internet Certainty and share it here. Always curious to hear a new one.

Did you know that the .30-40 Krag was used in Vietnam?
Not from the 'net but much the same results...
Now, where'd that "roll eyes" icon go.....
