Is that holster rig period?

wecsoger

Yeah, I'd flash cash for the cowboy or do a bundle deal...you never *need* another 30-30 but a pre-safety...if you take it home, it won't eat much and might be worth trade bait later. .45-70 though, awesome round. I'd jump on that if I could. I wasn't in love with the cowboy sights either. Got a Ski...

And unfortunately a tree in an urban environment is always regarded with suspicion by the miller. Especially the lower part. My current boss has a portable mill he sets up when he's able to make a deal. It has to be a goodly quantity of lumber to make it worth his time and when he's finished, he put...

2. Page yourself over the intercom... But don't disguise your voice! Trust me, this does *not* work. In a past life I did voice/data/networking/etc. support for a large campus type facility. Multiple buildings, multiple paging systems. Always the complaint, 'it's too loud', 'I can't hear it', and s...

As a nation, we got darn lucky on this one. What was it, 38 deaths attributed to the weather.

What if it had been a *real* storm? That would have been ugly.

wecsoger

My company has facilities all over, including up in the north east. We're still having voice (telephone) and data issues that way. For what they don't lose in taxes, local repair people will be doing real well with all the overtime $$ they got fixing lines.

At the time, I worked for an overnight freight company, Airborne Express. I was also in the AF Reserve, one of my additional taskings was the unit's force protection/anti terrorism monitor and working as a sworn part time deputy in the Sheriff's office. We were rolling out a digital technical manual...

The course of fire is *not* levergun friendly. It can be done but (personal, cheap opinion) you'll get more out of the course first time by not doing so. First day is a lot of basics, sling *heavily* emphasized. Course of fire is several basic exercises, very NRA high power related. One in particula...

Niiiiice.

Now get that dishbowl ugly-butt safety taken care of. (grin)

I always liked them because the cylinder cuts are *between* the cartridge bores, not right on top of them. Check the pictures. Of course, if you go up to an eight round, they are back in line again. S&W made them, Taurus made them. I had a Taurus in eight round, 6" ported barrel that was an...

Almost to a man (and probably a lot of women!) we over clean and over oil our firearms. Read the stories of the Glocks shooting tens of thousands of rounds. Go over the FAL board (hope it's still there!) and read about the legend of 'ol dirty, a FAL that's gone through thousands of rounds. There's g...

I suspect it is a scam. I YA THINK?!?!? Sorry, not cracking on you personally, but even if you lived in NY how would you think it would not be a scam? I've said this before on this forum. If you get a link in an email or an attachment, do *not* click on it. Even if it's from someone you know and th...

I'm a huge fan of the Ruger Mark X series but you have other very good choices there. Your first decision will be if you want a revolver or semi-auto and then narrow it down from there. But for my $00,000.02 worth it's the Ruger Mark II. It has all the needed improvements needed from the Mark I but ...

I've been blessed enough to have couple different flavors of Marlins. Plan on keeping them. But this news, while not unexpected from email complaints I've read, are not entirely unexpected.

We have had it very lucky the last few decades because of the sacrifice and hard work made by so many who lived through the depression. Sadly, so many of them are gone now. Like others I think we're going to have to re-learn that lesson again.

I imagine theoretically possible but for the occupant of said skull, it can't be a good time. In another life when I wore the funny hat, they taught us that if we had to shoot at anyone through a car windshield to aim lower because the bullet will deflect up. Now in a related topic, while I'm not in...

While I can name a hundred and one things wrong with our government, it's good to know our taxpayer dollars are keeping some bureaucrat employed killing trees and turning out all this fancy paperwork.

What would we do without them?

wecsoger

Was at a range once, just a couple of us and a guy came by with an old school full auto. This one was blued and classy walnut. He was on military team and had plenty of .45 so we got a shoot a stick or two. Won't say it was more fun than doing the horizontal bop with a cute young thing, but it was m...

A lot of sci-fi fanboys (myself including) are eagerly awaiting to see it. It opens this weekend. From the previews and cast interviews, this is not a comedy or satire, they played it straight. Sleepy little western town invaded by aliens I'm betting Daniel Craig's character is some sort of interste...

Yeah, FDA would go nuts. I bet if you run the numbers, compare the amount of damage these feral hogs do to the crops saved by culling them, there's no contest. And I hate putting down animals (almost cried when I had to down a magnificent buck someone poached out of season) but I'd take on this cull...

If you think about it, you've got a moving target and you're shooting from a moving platform. Pretty tricky figuring out correct lead. Add to that any inner ear issues since "level flight' in a small helicopter like that occurs at very random intervals. I'd be interested in knowing choke on tha...

No, seriously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOfCTWy1Xlc&feature=player_embedded No levers, but a semi auto shotgun and I suspect 00 buck or something similar. Interesting to see the small pattern downrange. But a good hit puts them right down. I'm not a big hunter but I'll give no grief to any...

Yes, it's warm and warm in a lot of places. But I seem to recall it was warm last year, and year before that. And year before that.

We keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of our accounts, login names, passwords, answer to secret questions, etc. We've also had the kids put their account info in there if Heaven forbid something happened to them.

What he said. And with a minimum of parts too. Learn the 'finger indexing' technique for safety and you'll be fine with a glock. There are tens of thousands of them being carried around right now. Nothing wrong with something that's just plain functional (but then again, I drive around and old Jeep!)

There's a story, don't know if it's true but it should be about a famous science fiction author, Theodore Sturgeon. At a sci-fi convention a disgruntled fan approached him and said, "Ninety percent of science fiction is Cr@p!" Ted looked at him and said, "Ninety percent of *everything...

they're surely more pricey now than when I had mine. Depending on the rate of inflation, maybe not so much. And the technology on making the 'shorties' work has improved greatly.

Thanks for positive comments guys! To me it's always good to save something from the junk pile and I just love the decorative art on the cast ironwork. You just do not see stuff like that anymore. For what it's worth, there's a small coffee shop in a former hometown that has tables similar to this. ...

Any day (night) that you put down a feral hog is a good time.

Nicely done.

I've always wondered with the short barrel big bores - what's the muzzle blast like?

We'll see.

I'm sorry, but I thought "Munich" sucked. I disliked the liberties he took with the original story in order to make it more "balanced" and I especially disliked being beat over the head on the psycho-sexual components. I was very disappointed.

Yes and no. Building one exactly like that might be hard. But something similar (and a lot cheaper) is easy. Do a search on "hobo stove". You can make one from a paint can, coffee can, large juice can or almost anything that contains your fuel in one place. Go to yard sales for cheap pots ...
