Re: MtMan-List: Who makes the lock

on a humorous note: you really gotta love this list....... left is right or
right is left (depending on if you're the government or a mountain man);
cabela's makes Hawkins rifles (thought only the Hawkins did that or maybe they
made plains rifles), and aluminIUM (an elemental, very common metal) and
aluminUM are the same thing. one encyclopedia say aluminIUM has been used
since antiquity and another quote says its not so (even they were not refering
to the same thing).  you can't say it isn't interesting, even though its
somewhat confusing at times. It seems the best advise about these things is
the same as it always has been....... check the written records; see if it was
DOCUMENTED as being in use during the period and most importantly, COMMUNICATE
with those you are traveling with to be sure where you are going/meeting. YHS,
