12 pounder Sideloader
« on: September 02, 2011, 02:12:00 PM »
I want to give everyone on the forum a headsup. Mike is not as nice as most of yall thought. I have been very happy going through the last 20 plus years of collecting bullets and have quite a collection. Mr. Emike forced me to purchase a 12 pdr CS sideloader and a 12 pdr solid shot. So until today when the box arrived I have been going happily through life all the years with a little money saved and this guy has know fed me the hook, line and sinker. I have been suckered in bad. I guess I can kiss my 401k good bye (what's left of it anyway) and become homeless due to the addiction. Mike the side loader is absolutely mint, couldn't have picked a better one to start an artillery collection and having the solid shot from Buffalo Bayou is indeed a great relic being a born and bred Texan.  :-\
