3rd try

Nicholas Sarro · 10-01-2010, 03:05 PM

My daughter reduced by 50% one of my photos so now I'm going to try to post it.

Yaaay - finally! It's a darn good thing we have our kids around.

Hmm... Grade 1 engraving with Damascus barrels. Very interesting. A pretty nice looking lifter - how are the bores?

The bores are slightly pitted and have small dents on both barrels on the outsides. How do you get that picture to show with your name? I made one but it doesn't show up when I post.

If you have micro soft picture manager, posting pictures is very easy. Save your picture to desk top. Call it up in picture manager, select picture. Click on compress then web Accept the picture and save it to desktop. You can then callup your picture to attach it to your post.
Best, Austin

I don't know what I have. I'll never understand computer talk. Thats why kids are so important these days. I email my pictures to my daughter & she resizes them & emails them back. I uploaded two into my page and I can see them. But it doesn't show up when I post.

Nicholas: That picture is called an "avatar" in computer speak.

1: When you open the forums, look at the top of the page. You will see PGCA Home User CP All Albums etc.

2: Click on User CP (Control Panel)

3: Look on the left side. You will see several things but one is Edit Avatar. Click on that.

4: Follow the instructions for Custom Avatar and upload the picture you want from your computer. These must be very small size 125 x 125 pixels or 19.5 KB. Children are good to help on that and it will be way more than 50% reduction from full size.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Jack

I think that makes sense. So should I ask her to shrink it to 25% instead? I don't know what KB or pixels mean in regards to percents.

Nicholas, Is that a 10ga gun? Give us the serial #. The dents can be removed by a damascus barrel knowledgeable gunsmith. Clean the inside of the receiver and give it a go at a patterning board. Looks like it could be a very nice shooter. David

All depends on original size. I played with some of mine and found 5% was close and 4% was a sure bet.

Thanks Jack, 4% it is. And David, the serial # is 13814. It is 10 ga. I looked it up. It was made in 1879. I'm pretty sure you can't use modern day ammo. I'm guessing that FFF black powder is what I should use. I used to be an avid black powder flintlock shooter back in the mid 1970s & still have a partial can. Most people I talk with say just use it as a wall hanger. I would bench test it first but still I would hate to see it blown apart.
