Re: Don Young Maxi Lucky 7 Drawings

Keith: When I said that they're easy to read and understand, I was implying just that - they're clear, not faded or stained. Not what one would expect with a 40 year old blueprint copy.

Re: with a Heavy Ten

Re: New member from Texas thinking about a K36 (or 37)

Kind of like eating menudo, the more you chew the bigger it gets in your mouth.
