Me too, but at $1249.00 it looks like I will be wanting for a while.

I guess the big deal here that is getting everybody so out of sorts is that everyone has their own definition of hunting. Of course these are my perceptions... you millage may vary. To some if you killed something (under a feeder, in a fenced area, with a full auto on the second clip) well you are s...

Sixgun... I couldn't agree more. My father-in-law has a "farm" (old family farm - he hunts it , doesn't farm it) seems to hunt about like your brother-in-law. He invited me and my son to go hunting there with him and well, I can't have it. He (and his brother) will shoot them all day long ...

In this case, since it's a ftr, or arsenal refurb, then no, I say no. The refurb is just another part of the history and doesn't erase the previous history. Not for me anyway. +1 That was maintenance so it could continue to make its history (serviceability). And it is in line with its character. No...

It's always hard when we loose one of life's companions, words always seem to fail, but we always seem compelled to say something in an act of commiseration. While your loss can not be vanquished by our expressions of sorrow; I hope you will see that reflect the losses we may have had of our own and...

Check out local ham clubs and see if there is any of them that have used equipment, good way to get started and radios are usually preprogrammed. We've only got one club near by that I know of (within 30 miles) and that was the group that gave me the exam. After I passed the general they told me I ...

LOOK before you step or reach!! Last year my wife was stepping off the porch just in front of me as we were walking into the front yard. When she stepped down I heard a noise and looked down before I stepped... It was a copper head that moved and a dry leave was what made the noise. Anyhow I killed...

In many states, there are laws prohibiting 'stockpiling' of food or other supplies, such that the personal supplies of one individual who was prepared can be seized by 'the authorities' and supposedly given to the 'less fortunate' who spent all their money on ice cream and movies. Really? I mean I ...

That is very cool indeed.

That's great news! Congrats and keep it up! Attitude is everything on keeping your strength and spirits up and I bet yours is soaring right now.

Thanks. Got it now. Thankfully I'm too old for make believe when it seams the real world can be frightening enough. You know I think that is part of the appeal of it too. While the real world (terrorists/DC and state politics/health issues) can be very scary there isn't just a lot you can do about ...

Aside from the classic "Night of the living dead", what is this fascination we seem to have with zombies nowadays? I don't get it. Gobbler We were talking about that at work the other day. I think its for a couple of reasons really. Zombies make great "bad guys". No one can feel...

A question came up the other day and I have not been able to find a definitive answer. Did TR carry a sword during the Spanish American War and if so what model was it? I know this will be easy for some of our historian and or trivia folks on here but I've been chasing my tail without success on thi...

Idahoser, thanks for the post. You introduced me to some ideas there that have my interest. Maybe they are ideas everybody who isn't me knows about but with me being mew and all I like it. I really like the write-ups I have been seeing about the $4 antenna (never heard of that before). Sounds like a...

My latest interest is the amateur radio satellites, which can be used with just a dual-band handheld...its pretty cool, and that tech license would let you play with them too. I had heard about HAM sats but had no idea that a dual-band hand-held could hit one. Would you know a good website talking ...

mklwhite

Well, that's probably too far for a club to help you get your ticket. You should be able to Google for an amateur club in your area. Thankfully I do have a club a lot closer than that to me, but I am unaware if they do any hamfests. I couldn't find any info about them having one on their site. Ther...

Find a HAM club in your area and join it. There are ALWAYS locals who will help you with hardware and other questions, and may well have a used rig to sell.... I thought I might. That is the club that offers the testing and they have set up a few repeaters in the area and also participate in ARES/R...

I'm very new to all that and just doing the reading phase on it, but have read enough that I want to get (at least) the Tech license. My dad was a big HAM even from his early teens. I remember seeing him surrounded by radios and his working on them. I've been reading about some of the different radi...

I've been thinking about studying for the technician license and was wondering if there where anyone on the forum with a HAM ticket.

My wife brought home the Coen Brothers version of True Grit today. I never made it to the theater to watch it so I've been really looking forward to it.

Nice kit.
Now I have to add a brass compression fitting to my list of things I want to pick up.
The ones I use when the opportunity afforded itself to make were nowhere near as well thought out and professional looking.

We had a tornado south of hear that frayed some nerves but mostly took out only trees and fences. Flooding was kind of bad though. Some say the worst ever, but I'm not sure about that.

Perhaps, but also less hand fitting/craftsmanship, they cost more and the Winchesters are (effectively) gone.
I would happily pay the adjusted prices for those guns.

This is one my preacher told last weekend. Thought it was funny and wanted to pass it along. George W.

He looked at him and leaned over to one of ...

Just got mine in yesterday and thought I would mention my quick first impressions on the difference between the 1928 Izzy and the 1933 Tula (that I just got). The Izzy has a lot better wood. The Tula has a weird very dark wood insert right behind the trigger housing and a repair area just in front o...

Heck, a while back copper thieves cut phone lines that were in service on the dang poles north of here. This is ridiculous.

Well if you're going to break something you may as well do it in a way that nobody has seen before. A wallhanger with a story for sure.

Looks like you've got a couple of good ones there. I've always liked the 60. Mine has always been super accurate. And the MN... well whats not to like? (other than the safety that is

Very interesting. They did a great job on that tombstone. I wonder if that was a "standard" design for soldiers of that war or special order. Thanks you for posting it.

Very nice. Watch out or you'll catch the Red fever for those nagants if you aren't careful.

Both are cool, though I must admit I like the hatchet more. Very nice indeed.
