Like you said, it is obvious that you are confused. Lloyd said he wanted to fix it from the beginning. I suggested JB Weld.
Nope DimmyW, you are imagining things again. Lloyd did not say he wanted to fix his broken buttplate from the beginning. Here is a full and complete quote of his initial post. I left out the photos:
Need a butt-plate for a 1901 LC Smith D-Grade Hammergun. The post office folks destroyed mine.
Anybody here happen to have one laying around?
Hmmmm, nothing about fixing it there... Lloyd actually hoped that someone here might have a suitable replacement laying around. So maybe DimmyW made a simple mistake, and the part about fixing it was in his second post. Let's take a look:
Everything else got here ok, it seems.
The flat-bottomed 1901 Fulton (all the Fulton guns had flat bottoms after 1891) hammer and the 1890 residual (a transitional 1st year gun) "Syracuse" Quality 2 gun.
Shot both today and they are ready for another 100-plus years of service (well, maybe after I get another buttplate).
Damn the post office anyway...where's Elon when you need him?
Nope, Lloyd didn't mention anything about repairing his buttplate there either. I think his subsequent Post replying to Stan was referring to the fixing the issue of insufficient or poor packaging so that Postal Insurance might cover the damage. And perhaps a hope that Elon Musk could fix the problem of the USPS handling packages roughly. It was you DimmyW, who brought up repairing it with JB Weld. Lloyd didn't even acknowledge that silly idea. But he did reply to SXS 40's offer to look for one if he could provide the dimensions.
Stan then QUOTED you, and replied that he uses JB Weld a lot, and also opined that it wouldn't be a good solution for repairing this shattered buttplate, because the colors and textures wouldn't match without painting the entire buttplate. I happen to agree with Stan. JB Weld has a place, but using it to repair nice old doubles isn't it.
I also think you are psychotic, and are once again seeing things in Posts that were never said. I also knew that the mere mention of Global Warming would trigger you into another insane rant, which is always entertaining. I just look at the historical data from the National Weather Service, where one can easily see that last year was not the hottest year on record since 1850. There are lots of Chicken Little's who think the sky is falling. With you Dimmy, a piece of it obviously did fall, and hit you in the head causing brain damage. Every time I used my snowblower, or shoveled snow, or paid the gas bill this past winter, I thought about you saying last year was the hottest year on the planet (since 1850), and I laughed.
Since you seem very concerned about how many Threads get locked after I make a post, I think you should contact Dave Weber to ask him about it. And ask yourself this brainchild... If my posts are the major cause of Dave locking Threads, why doesn't he simply ban me, or just delete my posts that you and your fellow Libtards find so offensive? He can do that you know.
Oh, one other thing Dimmy dimwit... I don't care how many doubles you may have bought in the last year. If you support and vote for anti-gunners... knowing they have strong anti-gun voting records... then you are yourself an anti-gunner. If you have a pipe leaking, you hire a Plumber, not an Electrician. And if you really wish to preserve Gun Rights, you wouldn't hire a devout anti-gun Democrat... unless you were severely retarded. We elect people who we think will represent our interests. Real Gun Guys aren't stupid enough to elect those who proclaim their anti-2nd Amendment attitudes and their intentions to enact more anti-gun laws or gun bans. So the anti-gun shoe fits you as perfectly as Cinderella's glass slipper fit her.
Now, if I'm real lucky, Dave will lock this Thread, and you will pop another giant hemorrhoid over it.
