The "Other Guy" just ordered a fresh can of Calcium Carbide. Just about ran out from being asked by other vintage shooters to blacken their sights on their vintage rifles. Helping target shooters new and old for 50 years! Our junior shooters firing fancy scoped AR15's tell me my shooting kit is a Vintage Collectible. Ya that's a younger me at Camp Perry in 1974.

Hey, hey, hey!  I wasn't naming names here.  You should have said something I have a whole can of calcium carbide from Lehmans just waiting to be put in water.  However being stuck in Africa for next couple of months precludes me from using any of it. 

And in case I didn't say it too often or at all thank you for helping out a new guy at Camp Perry.

Yeah.  I agree about cheap things.  Everybody, thanks to the internet, is chasing after finite resources of which shooting items are part.

So is there any way to make a D2 street legal?  I want to get a used one for grocery shopping.  Just short trips back on forth.
