Now THAT'S an airplane!

I have the good fortune to serve one weekend a year at this WW2 show, in Reading Pa:http://www.maam.org/maamwwii.html

I hope that some year we get one of those planes to attend!

Filling the rear tires of my L2800 with methyl alcohol added 800lbs of traction and eliminated any concerns about overloading the front bucket. Don't have to worry about freezing either. No weights to add or remove, no calculations. Helps keep me planted when using the backhoe, also works just fine ...

By far, the best source of info before you sign the paperwork: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/ Farm tractors are industrial equipment. They are designed and engineered to stand up to hard work, abuse and negligence more than most anything else you can buy. The only brands I would stay away from ...

Sorry for your loss

It is kind of weird to hear that you lost a piece of your past. Kind of shocks old memories to life.
Depression is a brutal enemy that many of us are saddled with. Makes life hard to take. I'm sorry to hear he had it so badly.

Can't say I've noticed a problem getting my head in the right position, but the only scope I've used on a levergun was a shotgun scope on my Marlin Cowboy. The relief was generous, so head position wasn't critical.

These people breed more people who see things the same way they do. Our education system will make it worse, and our current government (and the media) will make sure of it. I know that on my property that cat would have been full of Chesapeake punctures, followed by a .41 magnum "GOODNIGHT&quo...

WCF3030,

The family will never recover from such a loss - they can only change inside in order to continue living.
This takes both bravery and fortitude.
I wish them an abundance of both.

Stay away from Yahoo mail. They are horrifically liberal, and full pro Obama junk and ads. I've also been having trouble there recently; my computer has locked up with the hard drive going nuts on several occasions after logging in. Unfortunately, it's my first e-mail account. I've had it for years ...

That's a rifle beyond my understanding.
A stainless .44 mag lever make mucho sense, but a bolt... ?

Win. 94 in .25-35
Browning 92 in .218 bee
Marlin 1894, custom chambered in .256 Win. mag.

If I could only have one, it would be the .256, 18" barrel, pistol grip.

Sure brought back some memories.
We sang it a lot in Catholic school.

Hobie -

Sounds like a good sticky.

Clean the bore and chamber, take apart clean and lube the action. Remove the stock and forearm, remove any rust you find and apply a thin coat of oil (ATF is good). Throw a Williams FP, or a Marbles tang sight on it. Get into handloading - get a manual, start collecting brass, buy a bullet mold (or ...

TX50Cal,

Good to see you're raising him right!

And a good shot, too!

Will do.

Gotta love Glenn Beck.

Nothing to be ashamed of! :lol: The cardinal rule though, is to never trade a real rifle (aka levergun) for a plastic fantastic EBR. :mrgreen: I know next to nothing about the AR15 - m16 platforms. They are handsome in their own way, and fairly light if I recall. Now you owe us a range report! :D

Having to open carry unloaded is an irony, but at least some people have the guts to do what needs doing. Kudos. Loaded open carry is lawful here in Pa (no permit required), and many folks here are doing it for the same reasons as the California folk - to bring awareness to the public and law enforc...

My wife Dawn and I at a gathering. My friend Doug and his band The Wright Brothers were performing for the first time in 20 years, and my wife's band, Lazy Sundays , played the 1/2 hour breaks. I spent the night repeatedly toasting both bands, and singing along (to my wife's dismay). http://i152.pho...

He's all dressed up - must be his daughter's wedding day.

Very cool rifle.

Something like that in .357 would be slick.

Ah, but a Marlin 94....

I just don't like the feel of the lever action on a 99. I don't even know why.

WOW!

What the heck is a .470 nitro?

Looks like a battleship shell!

You men are a comfort to me.
I haven't visited much, due to a lack of interest or motivation to do a lot of the things that used to keep me busy.
Thank you all.

Time marches on. It's 2 years now since my son Chas was taken by God. Learning to live with what's happened is a full time task. We miss him terribly - his mom and sister, his church family, all his many wonderful friends. The last thing we did together was some target shooting with my .41 Blackhawk...

For magnum loads (.357, .41 and .44 mag), I much prefer AA #7 over #9, 2400, or Blue Dot.
Loaded to similar velocities, I get noticeably reduced perceived recoil, and good accuracy.
Blackhawks are not easy on the hands as it is.

Jeff,

You are a real gentleman.

I understood the picture you posted as you intended it - not to mock Joe, but being light hearted. I laughed when I saw it, having seen a bit of your humor in your videos.

I'm sure that by this point Joe realizes it now too.

Mr. Miller, you're too quick on the draw.
Why not give the rest of us a chance?

Got mine! :D I've been reading it the past few evenings, and boy, what a story. Life surely was different then - much simpler, harder, crueler. A time and place where ownership of a good rifle and sidearm (if you could afford either) could make a significant difference. The personal perspectives on ...

I'd get a kick out of trying to hit that! I guess I'd have to put a ladder sight on the .38-55. Would probably be easier with my scoped .204 though.

I own a lot of tools, some of which are guns. All things wear away, including us. However I do agree, 336A, that a snug holster is just better.

Gabby,

Yep, that's my L2800.
4wd, 5' bucket, 8' backhoe, 6' boxblade, 6' rake, 48" rear mower, 6' boom pole.

It's amazing how tough and useful most any tractor can be.

Take it. The one on the left is a WalMart Ranger that was a dark purple-brown until I stripped and sanded it down. Very nice, clear blond wood underneath. I liked it so much I did it to the one on the far right, a '70's vintage Sears. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/homefront5/100_1385-1.jpg

Bill,

That took some guts.

Knowing what little I do about bikers (we've got Pagans, Angels and Warlocks up this way), there' no way I'd let them ever see me, much less know anything about me.

10-11 grains is great in the .38-55, too.

I could care less about the bike or the laptop - I surely wouldn't shoot anyone over stuff like that... go ahead, take it!

We have a 5,500 watt contractors generator. We also have some oil lamps, and a wood stove.

I would only run the generator intermittently t...

Not a hunting experience, but outdoors nonetheless.
