Good deal, when do you get initiated? Have you been interviewed already?

WV or at least my district doesn't send out a letter. I got a call from the W.M., Worshipful Master, asking when the committee could come by for a visit.

I wanted to improve myself and give something back to my community. There ia lot to learn in Masonry and through it the outside world. One of the tenets of Masonry is "Making good men better" Is he still alive? If so ask him about it. It's not a secret but there are some secrets in Masonry...

Now I'm just the opposite, I'd add that box to my collection.

Hello Brothers and comedians :D I knew there had to be a few Brothers here. I met several last night at my gun club, including the husband of 1 of the women I work with. Guns and Free Masonry, what an American combination. Paul Revere, Ben Franklin and George Washington to name just 3 Masons in the ...

MikeS.

I was recently initiated into the fraternity and so am wondering if there are any other Brothers here?

MikeS.

Last night we voted in the new members of my Izak Walton League gun club. There were about 150 people at the meeting, when the President asked for the newbies to step out about 120 walked out. So that is good news and not so good. 120 new members is good but only 30 old members showed up. Well I can...

MikeS.

Thanks guys, I ordered 2 different styles in both 125 and 158 grains in .38 special. 1 round nose 124grn 9mm.

MikeS.

Very nice, one of the things I miss about Calif. I never got to hunt VAFB but did get to hunt Pendleton several times. Looks like you did have a good time.

MikeS.

I've got a friend from my gun club that is going to help me start reloading. He told me to buy the bullets for the caliber I want to reload. I'll be doing 38/357 and 9mm. He said he has plenty of powder and primer and between us we have brass. So what would be a good bullet for plinking? I'll buy fr...

MikeS.

Awesome!

MikeS.

And I thought this was going to be a Bill Clinton thread. Oh well. Congrats to all of you taking it 1 day at a time.

MikeS.

I swear that guy is my neighbor!

I bought my 1st .44mag back in October from a friend. A 629 with 6" barrel. I paid 500 for it, seems like a very sweet deal. Although it forced me to buy a SS levergun in .44mag.

MikeS.

hmmmm... Yep, good old sodium bicarb, (baking soda, or HCO3,) should do the trick. Dump the acid/water into a bucket, dilute with water, and then dump a half a box of baking soda in it. NO! Wearing goggles and rubber gloves SLOWLY pour the battery acid into a large barrel of water. When you mix aci...

MikeS.

I got this at work last night, totally unbelievable. I hope the appeals court has the balls to throw it out.

MikeS.

So where do you get linotype?

MikeS.

By averaging the 2 together I did OK. I can't wait to get a decent day and go shoot this .30-30.

MikeS.

I posted early last week that I'd bought a Marlin 1894SS .44mag off of Gunbroker. So I went to my local fun store Friday to get a copy of their FFL to send to the seller. As I'm waiting my turn to talk to the owner a woman walks in and has a rifle she wants to sell them. It's a Marlin 336 I can see ...

MikeS.

I was just talking to a SWAT member from Central Illinois who told me that there was some discussion for urban police departments to consider a lever action rifle/carbine in a pistol caliber (.357 or .44 Mag) as a patrol car rifle. Seems that it is more politically correct to get out of the patrol ...

MikeS.

I've got a Colt Double Eagle in 10mm, a very nice shooting pistol.

If that coffee can of brass is still available, I'm interested.

MikeS.

About time a Calif. court did something decent.

MikeS.

their domestic name for it was the Social Democratic Party of Germany (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands).

I thought they were called the National Socialist Workers Party, where we got NAZI from?

Some time within the next 100 years or less no private citizen in this country will own a firearm.

MikeS.

I've shot up a few old TVs, that is always fun.

MikeS.

I've sold 3 guns in 30 some years, none of them I regret. I did have an American made SS Luger stolen from me and a Coonan .357 magnum. I wasn't able to replace the Luger but I did the Coonan. That Coonan is worth quite a bit more now

MikeS.

Loved it! It was a great laugh. Thanks for posting the link.

MikeS.

Well once again y'all have given out some sound advice. I'm blessed that I'm able to afford what I had to pay for it. Between Christmas and through 01/03 I worked a bunch of OT and Holiday pay. When I get the rifle I'll post pics of the 1894 and 629 together. Although I don't quite get the obsession...

MikeS.

Nice buy, I picked up a Rossi .357 2 years ago. It has become 1 of my very favorites. You'll enjoy this levergun a bunch.

MikeS.

I bought a Marlin 1894SS in .44magnum tonight. Paid too much but I've been wanting one to match my S&W 629. Should be here in a week or so.

MikeS.

I bought a Taurus .22lr 9shot revolver that did nothing but jam. It went back to Taurus and they adjusted the barrel, the cylinder yoke and replaced the cylinder.

With issues like that I don't plan on ever buying another Taurus.

MikeS.

I keep a pair of 9mm semi-autos stashed in the house, 16+1 in each of them. They live in wall safes with 4 digit electronic locks. Easy to get to if needed.

Maybe it'll go south of you?

NO!!! That would put it on top of me.

Currently 23* and headed for 16 tonight. The coldest so far this winter.

MikeS.

And I thought that J Miller made some very valid points in his post. You can't deny that the S&W design is old. Nor that the Ruger is of more modern design. He states that in his experience, under the conditions he lays out that he has problems with his Smith's. I currently own 4 S&W revolve...

MikeS.

No firearms but I have the aerial fireworks all ready to go.

MikeS.

It just wasn't that buck's time to go. He must of had a lot more does to chase.

MikeS.

Thanks for sharing Scott, enjoy the break.

MikeS.

Well since my original pot back in Sept. I've added 2 S&Ws to the stable. A 586 and a 629 both with 6" barrels. The 586 is a nickel K or L frame .357 magnum and the 629 is a stainless steel .44 magnum.

I'm looking to trade the 586 for a 686. Any takers?

MikeS.

3D = Dead EyeD Dog, what a treat to have around I'm sure.

MikeS.

I spent the summers of '73, 74 & 75 living in Banning, just 5 miles down the road from Beaumont at that time. My Uncle was a member at Yucaipa and almost every day after work we went to shoot. Work was laying steel on the bridges for the I-10 and I-15 interchange in San Berdoo, it is/was called ...

MikeS.

Well I'm still glad I was pretty much forced to move out of Fresno, Calif back in 1998 by my employer. That large Federal bunch at 5045 Butler ave. JohndeFresno, I spent my 1st 42 years a couple hundred yards from Cedar and Shields. By the time we moved it had gone wayyy down hill. True I miss going...

MikeS.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, hope you get out of the bind w/o selling off a bunch.

MikeS.

Anyone here use these?

MikeS.

I carry a 6" S&W mod 27 in .357magnum in a cross draw holster. I've had to shoot a wild dog once.

MikeS.

Only one!

MikeS.

Back in '92 when I had come into a small inheritance I bought several guns and a large safe. A really large safe. I almost always had problems getting the dial combo to work the 1st time out. Sometimes it would literally take 30 tries to get it to unlock. So earlier this week after a 30 try session ...

MikeS.

Wow, nice times. That bacon frying just told me what to have for lunch. Squirrels for dinner sounds good too. Thanks for posting the pics.

MikeS.

The hundred and a few bucks isn't a big deal. I hate losing that lovely gun, it has a really nice walnut stock and shoots well. Plus the trigger group on those older models are better then the lawyerized versions now produced.

MikeS.

Why did they bring them in? To be sold? They don't destroy them?

Sounds like some nice guns.

MikeS.

I'm in Berkeley County, the Eastern panhandle, about 15 miles N of Winchester, Va. I've talked to a buddy of mine, he does a lot of buying from this pawn shop. He says they'll refund my money, no problem. He works across the street from them. It is a beautiful walnut stock. It was filthy when I got ...

MikeS.

A few weeks ago I posted that I'd bought a 10/22 from a pawn shop, a nice walnut stocked one made in 1969. Nice shooter too. So tonight a state trooper shows up at the house looking for the rifle, it had been reported stolen. The owner came home from a 3 week vacation and then reported 3 or 4 stolen...
