Most of my cooking is done in antique US made cast iron, cooks better than any modern pans.
I am always looking over the cast iron pots at the flea markets, good deals are to be had.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I've noticed lately a lot of people are getting real proud of their cast iron in the bigger flea markets, the best deals are to be had in the small country ones.
I always look for the rusty pots, rust cleans up, and the pots can be reseasoned. Sometimes I get lucky and people sell them to us as scrap.

I'm lucky. I work in a foundry and every few years they make a run of skillits from a pattern one of the guys made. Usually just to use up a little iron at the end of a run. First come first serve on those.

I'll dig one out and take a photo. Just a standard 10 inch or so design

My last couple were seriously rusty, they're now the best I have.
I try not to get riled up by bubba, but I just read a want ad that did just that to me
And since the thread was 'the things you read' I figured i'd share.

I'm looking to buy a beat up old moisin rifle for a project gun. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just so it works and shoots and is all there. I'm willing to pay $75, you can buy these things brand new for $100. So not paying that for a rough one.
I don't want to hear sob story about how historic your rusty crappy looking termite chewed rifle is. I'm not collecting this and won't pay crazy price for junk just because it is old. I'll be chopping the stock and wood anyway, so why pay nutty money for a rifle I'm only gonna use 70% of.
Oh well. I hope this idiot gets no response. I wish I could put an ad in under his saying I would pay $20 more than his price for one of those 'junk rifles'

Or better yet a shell that is 70% more than it should be :(

I want to know what the difference between a rifle's stock and wood is.
This ad was in a 'town classifieds' flier for a place not far from me, so I couldn't post a response or anything.

Properly it's called a stock, some people call it wood, not every stock is made of wood, some are plastic. Buttstock for the rear portion that goes against your shoulder, forend for the part you grip with your non trigger hand while firing, and handguard for the bit that attaches on top of the barrel ( not found on most sporting rifles)

I surely would not respond to an add where a guy is insulting me before he even meets you...If people would be able to respond he would get negative action i am sure. Just reinforces what JYD says that the bubba types are straight jack ass ass holes...excuse my language.

What's wrong with your language? Far nicer than what I just called him, it's probably anatomically impossible for him to do as I suggested anyway, and his mother might not like the other thing, but I am sure he would enjoy providing the service to other men I suggested as a third alternative.

The French have had their ups and downs, most of the downs due to piss poor leadership, not the bravery of the French soldier. During the Great War they took an uncommonly brutal punishing, most of a generation of young men killed.
