4-bore double for sale soon. Here are some photos
      #145887 - 14/11/09 04:00 PM

Gents: Shortly I will put up my 4-bore Hughes for sale. Price will be determined soon and will be listed on my website as POR--please call for price and details. Today I posted 16 photos of the Hughes on calpappas.com under the section of double rifles for sale. I hate to part with this cannon but I need to upgrade and another is coming up for sale after the first of the year. I will have the Hughes at the Dallas and Reno Safari Club shows in January.

The Hughes has 28-inch barrels, weighs 22 pounds, has a bore diameter of .975", Jones under lever, exposed and rebounding hammers, regulated for 14 drams and a conical bullet of 1882 grains, rifling is one turn in 50 inches (approximately), was owned my Maynard Buehler in the 1950s-60s, and is quite accurate with a variety of loads. Ballistics can also be seen on my site under the section of Double Rifles.

Enjoy the pics.
Cal

Good morning. I can't seem to get photos on the page here. I'm a bit new at this computer stuff. The photos are on my website. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to get photos here? I use a MacBook laptop.

Cal-

As much as I'd like to tell you how to do it, you're on a Mac and I don't know how to get to where I'd JUST be viewing the image without the rest of the web page on a Mac computer.
You're going to have to figure that first step out on your own.
On a PC you'd simply put the cursor on the image, right click, and click the 'view image' "button" and Presto! the image would appear on it's own, without the rest of the page.
From there I'd go up to the URL box and highlight the (now distinct for just the image) URL, put the cursor over it, and right click - then pressing the 'copy' button.

Since there are so many images, I opened a notebook page (any writing/typing kind of program will do) and pasted (put the cursor on the first line of the document, then right clicked, then clicked the 'paste' button) the URL on a line in a new document.
Did the same procedure for each image, double-spacing between them to give me some eyeball room on the page.

Next thing is to make those 'destinations' into commands for this NitroExpress site (or any other place on the world wide web) by adding a little bit of code directly before and directly after each URL
The code used looks exactly like this:
This one goes (without a space after it) right before the beginning of the URL
[image]
This one goes directly after the URL, with no space before it
[/image]

I typed the first bit of code before the first image URL on my document.
For the sake of speed, I highlighted that piece of code and copied it, then pasted it directly in front of the beginning of each image URL on the page.
Did the same thing with the second bit of code for each image.

Then, again for the sake of speed, I highlighted the whole document I'd just made from the above procedure: View Image/Copy URL/Paste to my document/double space/add code
With the whole thing highlighted, I right clicked, clicked the copy button, then went to your thread and hit the reply button -- then pasted the whole shootin' match on this reply page.


For each image I could also have taken the usual route of viewing the image/copying the URL then here on the 'write a reply' page I could have clicked the 'Image' button from the "Instand UBB Code" list (where then a little box would pop up) and pasted the URL in that box instead. That little box is a tool that writes the code for you.
Since there were so many images, and since I tend to be a process-oriented guy when there's a production sequence in front of me, I took the slightly different path and spelled it out here for you.

Either way, here's your images.
Nice rifle.





































Cheers
Tinker
