www.blockaderunner.com/other/sale.htmHi all! It's that time of year again. The Blockade Runner is giving away one of my de-farbs again this year. this one is a London Armoury Co. version Armi-Sport. This is a real contest, not a fake. Last year, the winner was a teenager from FL that had ordered about $20 worth of things and won a $700 musket! The year before that the winner had bought about $100 of things and won a $700 musket. Log-in and order. Each separate time you order something, you really do get entered again!

Don't know what one oft hem rifles looks like, but I'm going to give 'em a little business hoping I get lucky!
I still want a two band Enfield and a Lamatt's revolver like old Forest toted. Both awesome weapons!

Good luck! :)She's done up as a London Armoury Co. type III Enfield with correct markings. Be sure to check their website right after Christmas to see if you won. Last year the kid that won didn't log in to see that he'd won for a few weeks. Blockade Runner had to dig back in their invoices to find the kid's home # and call him to tell him he'd won. He didn't believe them at first, but when he finally accepted that it was for real, they said he went crazy and was heard screaming to his mom "I won a gun!" His mom got on the phone to verify the details and that it wasn't a scam. Nope, it is for real. Blockade Runner really does give away one of my de-farbs for Christmas. Sadly, I am no eligible.

A little off topic, but I bet you'll appreciate it. I went to see my Dr today for refills on my scripts and he asked me if I'd done any good hunting this season. I told him I'd killed a couple of boar hogs with my black powder gun and he told me that he'd gotten a five point buck. He scoffed and said, "You prolly used one of them new-fangled muzzleloaders; I killed mine with an Enfield. I like old style muzzleloaders." I laughed at him and said, "Nope, I used a Hawken!" Yep, I'm going to order some of them books at blockade runner, he's got some really great reading available cheap!

I have not used my Hawken yet this year. Right before the season opened here I acquired a sweet .58" MS Rifle and quickly practiced with it to learn where it hits with military loads. I've been carrying it this year but have not used it yet. I let 2 does and a bobcat walk so far while carrying it, but am hoping for a buck.

Sorry you didn't win it, but happily a guy serving active duty in Afganistan right now won it. Good for him!

OFF TOPIC
We watched the Rose Parade and right tear on the screen was all these guys and gals in black uniform and Shiloh and Tom in Tn. must be bustin' with pride instead of anger.
It was the SODDY DAISY HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND!

Considering what we paid for the Colonel's uniform, they ought to give away two!

You're right.... A gal I know up in Jacksonville wants me to take her out for New years Eve and even hinted that there's a real good chance that I'll get lucky, lol. I told her she'd best get her tetanus shot updated first cause I'm afraid I might be a bit rusty!!! THANKS Shiloh!!! I forgot about the Christmastime give away...they got some books I been wanting anyway; now's the time to order them I'm thinking!

A woman in TN won. When I was there a couple of wks ago they were saying they were swamped by daily orders from the smae people for small items, like a cup, tin of caps, small book, etc. Lots of people figured this out it seems. I don't know what tha winner bought, just that she is in TN.
