Agree. I've been reading along thinking one was current then noticed it was aged.Not insinuating these threads should be deleted, but to note the age of the thread.
@Areaonereal
Since joining AH forum I've read lots of old threads and gleaned a lot of good info that would be gone if deleted as an old thread. It is hard not to respond and if someone else does then it is easy to chip in anyway. We also get updated info because things have changed since the original thread started. Good examples are the 458 Winchester cartridge and Sabatti DR with ground muzzles. some of this will live in infamy though the 458 has been fixed with new powders and charges, not to mention new designed bullets. A number of members have mentioned their Sabatti DR's being quite satisfactory in accuracy and function. Some have bought guns that were reworked by Ken Owen, that kindly reworked mine for me.
Perhaps the forum manager(s) might consider moving threads past a certain age into a category labeled as such that indicate they are closed.
Just my 2 cents worth.
I think that question came up about whether Teddy's 03's had been converted before he got them. I was personally thinking they were 06 revision but might not be remembering correctly.It is my understanding that TRs 06 was an orginal 03 and not a 30 06
The one thing I do remember reading about Teddy and Kermits adventures, is that there was a lot of bad shooting and wounded animals. Probably due in part to the poor powder and bullets available back then. And I'm not suggesting they were bad hunters, just that things don't always go perfect.
