What's actually surprising is that we're not sick more often than we are! I think us kids who grew up out doors with no sinks or soap have more resistance. I once saw my youngest brother call 5 second rule on a yogurt raisin he dropped in a duck blind. Our hunting buddy almost lost it. My 5 year ol...

A friend, who happens to be in the Corona Hall of Fame, tells me sufficient consumption of the aforementioned Mexican beer with or without lime will cause you to develop Corona anti bodies. So far no one has contradicted him.

I liked it. I suspect Blaine is correct. Haven't seen it on TV in quite a while.

Rode out two typoons (hurricanes) at sea in the Pacific Ocean on Navy destroyers. It was like being on a horrific carnaval ride for three days (each). I would agree the Great Lakes storms are likely worse. My wife and I get up to the North Shore (Sourh Shore also) of Lake Superior as often as we ca...

WalMart in Waxahachie stocks that brand. I haven't thied it yet. Ever tried "Yuban" brand coffee. Good stuff too. My wife's favorite. I'll drink almost anything but confess to having one of their refillable cups and drinking a bunch of the "best coffee on the interstate" before ...

Reciprocity is the big question for sure.

We just went Constitutional carry in Missouri, but I intend to maintain my permit since we're now retired and travel more. Until there is national reciprocity it will always be a problem.

That's hilarious! As long as I give some priority to her requests she just smiles and says "have fun" when I head for my rifle club. I think she likes the having the house to herself once in a while.

You always see the bright side.

Dogs know stuff. I wouldn't be ignoring signs from one of them.

If I had ever hit a golf ball straight I might find this of interest.

The time saved in messing around with lube alone makes the Lee Collet die a bargain. Whether in my 14" Contender for IHMSA (true, not anymore) or my 94 with cast bullets and my 336 with jacketed in Big Bore Lever Silhouette I go through a lot of .30 Wcf and time saved can go towards loading .45...

Lee Collet Die. It works. Just have to keep my brass separated.

Larkbill

The Circle Tour has been on our list for some time.

I shot my Contender .45/.410 barrel on the skeet field once just for grins. It's an older 10" octagon with external choke. The choke has longitudinal ribs to help stop the spin from the rifling but no constriction. With 2 1/2" #8s shooting from only stations 1, 2, 6 and 7 I broke about 60%...

Sadly, I've had to revert to my Indian name. Given to me by my Cherokee friend while attending Navy school in Millington, TN I am officially "Two Beers".

"Oh I'm going to regret the Makers Mark, always wake up in a foul mood after imbibing in it."

I call Bulleit my happy nap juice. Maybe just me but worth a try.

I haven't had anything to contribute, but the thread idea is genius and quite entertaining.

"HMMM, the only thing I ever found was a folded pair of socks..."

You're ahead of me. All I ever find are dryer sheets.

Larkbill

Thanks for reminding me. Back in my IHMSA match days I acquired a 5.5" SS which I sent off to Ruger to get a 9.5" barrel installed for rimfire revolver class. Before I sent it off I shot it enough to find out is was the most accurate revolver of any caliber that I owned. In those days (and...

I have one gas operated auto and one Inertia Driven and I have to say if I didn't already have the gas 12 that fits me so well I'd buy another Inertia Driven. Clean and reliable, almost no maintenance needed for hundreds of rounds with the Inertia. Would be hard pressed to buy another gas gun. Recoi...

They just put those out at Farm and Home, I been eyeballing 'em. May have to pull the trigger. I don't see a mount for a red dot though.

Larkbill

Dream gun for the ammo makers. 100% increase in usage.

Larkbill

Oh man. I looked for one of those to shoot our local levergun silhouette matches. I was afraid I was wearing out my Nylon 76. But I gave in and bought a new Henry back in October. Besides yours there was also one in Armslist in the St Louis area. Never fails.

Larkbill

Haha, it's surprising how many guns have been lost in unfortunate boating accidents over the years.

Larkbill

I haven't seen it yet but apparently there was a fair amount of literary license particularly regarding Leo Beebe at Ford. Ford's project people knew what Shelby could and couldn't do and pretty much let him do what he wanted and did everything he didn't want to do. Keep in mind when the project beg...

A friend shoots his .38-55 Win 94 in big bore silhouette, I would be up for a .375 to try that too rather than my .30-30s. It would seem like a perfect platform for cast bullets. I know, not logical. The .30 WCF is pretty hard to beat for that but life is about experiences.

Larkbill

Great info, thanks for posting. We are hosting a reunion in that area in 2021 (good Lord willing) and have just started looking for activities.

Larkbill

You really need to out this scoundrel. If for no other reason than as a public service.

Larkbill

I can think of a number of negatives about my Hi-point but reliability wouldn't be one of them. It digests every bargain round I've tried, and accuracy is respectable. Biggest downside would be magazine interchange.

Larkbill

Things definitely changed. I was in '69-'73. In the beginning to get the military discount you had to fly in uniform. I got a small taste of what was coming at LAX when I went up there from 'Diego before heading home. I didn't get spit on but some did. It takes a special kind of stupid to spit on a ...

Early Barrett prototype.

My brother and I did try to build an Acme Crossbow using a Model T spring, but when Dad figured out what we were up to our spring suddenly was in two pieces.

Someone also reminded me it was time to set your scale back 5 lbs in anticipation of the holidays.

Pretty fortunate to have Graf's as one of my LGSs. Great to deal with on guns too.

In the mid 50s one of Dad's 6 sisters who was destined to be an old maid packed everything she could fit in her VW and departed for California. She settled at Huntington Beach and lead a pretty Bohemian lifestyle all the while telling everyone she was working as a para-legal freelancing at several o...

We spent a day there about 6 years ago then ate supper in the restaurant at the Irma. Magical place. Sounds like a trip back is in order.

Larkbill

Dead heat between my Remington 511X and 572. Just depends on what mood I'm in when I go shooting.

Larkbill

My first AR upper is a pre-A1 slick side Colt that had the gas block pins misdrilled making it almost unuseable so it's like new. Really prefer the triangular hand guard.

One of my nephews had the ability to boil things down to their essence.

After his first day of school "Mom, unsign me up".

After a particularly challenging day at school "Dad, if I was a girl I'd cry".

The adds with the babies handling "safe" guns would cause spontaneous brain aneurysms these days.

Ithaca Auto and Burglar Gun=go straight to jail. Do not pass go.

There is something about the humidity in Florida. We were doing pavement work at Eglin and in the safety briefing they explained that the ramp was closed to personnel not in vehicles if the tower could see lightning. Well sure enough the first afternoon the siren went off so we shut down the saws a...

We watch it all the time. Pretty much if your plates are current and belong on your car, you have a valid driver's license, and your car doesn't reek of pot you'll have to find another way to get on TV. I really believe the cops have a fair idea who's going to have issues before they make the stop.

The mothership of these type shows is the Old Threshers Reunion in Mt. Pleasant, Ia. If you enjoy this type of machinery it's well worth the trip. https://www.oldthreshers.org/index.cfm?pageID=44 I collect old outboards and our International at Tomahawk, Wi draws folks from Great Britain, Sweden, an...

When Peter Hathaway Capstick was a PH as the story goes he once had a safety fail and nearly hurt someone. His practice ever since with a bolt action was to load a round, and with the safety off pull triger with the bolt handle in the straight up position. While keeping the trigger all the way to t...

The closest thing to a safety I would "trust" is the one on my Swedish Mauser that cams the firing pin back from the sear and locks in place with a piece of fine Swedish steel. That was made by a human. Over 100 years ago. Oh never mind.

"What they don't know is that often I have service, but I don't want to answer." Haha. I got away with that for a couple years out at my rifle club. Took the wife and part of the brood of grandkids there for the Independence Day picnic and fireworks and while there she noticed her phone wo...
