lotsaIHCs Posted July 27 Posted July 27 The thread where we were talking about power glides got me thinking...it looks like I have a 62 cast iron Powerglide. The others, I can't rember anymore. There's probably a TH 350 and a TH 200 or something like that in the mix. They've been in the loft for at least 30 years. I had a 52 PowerGlide but don't member what happened to that one. 3 Quote

A few years ago a friend was given over 1000 rounds of 556 ammo. Some friends who worked for an alphabet agency were given alot more than that for training. Told to shoot it up at the range and don't bring any back to the office. They got tired of shooting and dropped it of at my friends house to get rid of it... 3 Quote
