Hello all, Misfit here! Nice to meet you all I was hoping to find someone in the Chicago area to sip a bowl with and thought this may be a good place to start. I have 4 year old And So To Bed, Penzance, and Dorchester (my favorite) I'd be proud to share with a new smokin buddy if ya bring a sip of something smooth. Looking forward to chatting with you all thank you for having me!

Welcome from Chicago. These days, for various reasons, I'm pretty much either at work or at home and don't get out much, but it's good to see other folks from the area posting here.

Welcome to the Briar Patch. The Chicagoland pipe show is towards the end up next month and a good spot to meet pipe smokers. Also, the Iwan Ries pipe shop there, I'm sure you're aware. I'm in Northern Indiana but a good three hours away.

Plainsman anything I can find primers and powder for these days. My newest toy is a Noreen BN MAG in .300 Win. I'm not sure if you are familiar, I was not till the wife surprised me, but its a gas gun direct gas impingement like an AR but side charging and of course a tad bigger than an AR10. I went with Vortex Viper for glass and it does great at 600 but that is as far as I have tried.

Welcome..I was in Chicago once.Watched them load trucks with snow and dump it in the lake.  I am originally from Charleston SC and I cannot for the life of me understand why they do anything they do here. I came here for love and stayed outta half gratitude and half fear. It isn't as bad as the news if you aren't in the city at least. |

Hey Raste I just saw your Scottish Blend thumbs up. Still one of my favorites as well I have a very dry tin in the cabinet and found I dig it more on the dry side! Thought I'd ruined it but turns out I prefer it crunchy |

... It isn't as bad as the news if you aren't in the city at least. Absolutely accurate. I went to dive school in Camden NJ in the South Port and it makes Chicago look like Mayberry. Shoot, I am from Charleston and there were spots even the police knew not to go. |

Looked up your AR10 beast. I confess I am a bolt-gun guy. While I have them I am not much loving ARs of any description. To each his own— which I think you will also find to be a kind of mantra here on the Patch.

To each his own— which I think you will also find to be a kind of mantra here on the Patch. I think if we all remembered that is how we humans worked this world would be a well oiled machine. I certainly agree a bolt gun hits the x much better but I do love the follow-up shot on that monster whilst keeping both hands put 10x. I have a 1900 Carcano to my first 1022 with the WalMart chestnut squirrel stock and lots between. I bet we both have tons in common an tons to share! |

Welcome aboard. I'm nowhere near you, but you've got a couple of good shops there and, as mentioned, the upcoming show, where you could meet some locals to puff with. Sounds like you've got a nice cellar.
