Because the thorn-free Chilean hybrid mesquite is both lovely and low water use, which makes it perfect for Arizona landscaping. Why the H did you not know that?

Thanks Steve! So it looks like more than $1500 to have this done and I just don't think I can swing that. If a guy could get it done for $8-900 it would really be a sweet option for someone willing to pay some geedas for an unobtainium rifle, but I just don't know if I can handle that kind of cash ...

I've decided that the same guy who designed those flimsy plastic 'CD cases' that always have the hinges snap off is the SAME moron who designed the end sockets for those 48" fluorescent light bulbs in most overhead 2'x4' light panels. They snap off at the slightest provocation. :evil: I wonder...

Dang rabbits are running amok around my place and they finally got some of my newly planted mesquite trees, so it was on like a thong baby. "You know this means war." I went out around sunset this evening and within 15 minutes I had six of the little b'tards, which should tell you how over...

Man, it's miserable. :? I was on the tarmack at Sky Harbor airport when our test bed 727 decided to attempt lift off at 122 degrees. She made it, but she used every bit of runway Sky Harbor had!

I'll add that the newer lube/protectants like Slip 2000 and M-Pro 7 (and some silicon based oils) are synthetic so they migrate better and have less tendency to dry to a varnish or wax like WD-40 and Ballistol and other older lubricants will over time. I think even CLP is synthetic based? Tip: a qua...

Good price! And Doc, I've always found that in .45 a 5½" gun balances better in the hand, rolls back nicer, and just flat out feels better. In .357 with the heavier barrel and cylinder, I like the 4¾" better. Just me, but that's my take on it! Some day I sure hope to own one, but I've got...

That cat's all thumbs!

We had a lot of barn cats growing up, and I was surprised how common extra digits is in cats. There's a Norwegian dog breed that has six toes and it's a dominant trait - almost every one has it!

Longmire is a modern day western set in a beautiful location. The title character carries a 1911 and a Winchester 94, drives a vintage Bronco, and doesn't give a rip about being trendy.

I've got an LR-308, and it had feeding/cycling issues right out of the box as well, but since it's an AR clone there are a lot of AR mechanics (I would not call them "gunsmiths") around who can easily sort out any problems and that's exactly what I did - fixed it and now it runs fine. Most...

By late summer it's like a jungle. Thick with brambles, poison oak and ivy, and burning nettles too! Were it not for winter, everything in Minny would disappear into a mass of green never to be seen again.

Two things: 1) Thank God you weren't seriously hurt! That could have gone really badly.

My thought is that it is a very pleasant look! Why would you want it perfect unless the wood was new and perfect and you'd recut every screw/re-stamped every letter? I LIKE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS.

Interesting thought. What about the mag tube? Any issues there? From what I have determined from my 357 Mag, 44 Mag, and 45 Mag R92s is that the only parts that are cartridge specific are the cartridge guides, left and right.

[quote="Ranch Dog"]I think you would be better off reboring/rechambering a 357 Mag. I have a spare 357 and was toying with the idea of contacting JES to see if he would do it. That is all I would want him to do and I would handle the rest./quote] Interesting thought. What about the mag tub...
