Maybe I'll buy a box of .22LR...

I was going to say that if you throw in a little cash you may be able to pick up a box of .22lr.

They won't save the bulb, but they sure do make it easier to clean up the mess!

Is this you? :lol: -- http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae131/quicktusa/anorexia.jpg Not quite yet. I do feel that way sometimes. I go about 185-190 with a 36 waist. 30 year...

12ga. 870 or SPX pump, assorted barrels, a good selection of shot size.

By GBlaine! Don't use heat after trying naphtha or starting fluid! I like the idea of leaving it ratty on the outside, stick a few "anti-(hunt, gun, fur)" stickers on it, and don't forget the " O and Uncle Joe" campaign bumper sticker. Maybe you will be able to transport your fam...

6pt,
A nice little plus on that Farm Boss, look at the tag, it's made in the USA, by a company that supports independent dealers.

mack

Just a side note, my Browning src will print 3 Remington 405grs into a cloverleaf dead center at 50 yds with the ladder down as it came out of the box.

mack

I say there's an ice age coming. Any one have any good 45/70 loads for cave bear and mammoth?

I grew up on some simple old rules for cold weather in a duck blind....Below about 10 degrees F- model 12 pump w/dry lube or no lube. Above 10 degrees F- Auto 5 no lube. Above freezing it doesn't matter. Never had a mechanical failure.

mack

I'm here, just don't say much.

mack

Thanks guys!
Snowy, cloudy day here. I spent it with my horses. Not really getting much done, just dubbin' around.

mack

Doc, that's just an office, shouldn't be too hard. Maine General just moved the whole hospital, and in only one day!

mack

I'd like to drive that EMD. Twin turbo charged 645 E blocks, that's like 6000hp.

mack

I use the Wahl's, same ones I use on the horses. Haven't spent money on a barber since '94. I don't begrudge him, just don't have the hair for it anymore. Anyways the old boy I used had a stroke, told me one day that he couldn't shave me, his hand wasn't good. He retired, (well earned), and I grew a...

I had one, liked it too, a good shooting, fun .22. However someone liked it more than I, and it disappeared from my police station locker in 1974. I think I know who, just could never prove it. If it was who I thought it was, I have the last laugh..I out lived the bugger!

mack

Could it have been high humidity? I have one that will set off occasionally, early morning, windows open, damp or foggy day.

mack

My take on this is that Remington is knowingly selling a potentially defective product to the public.

mack

We had a '94, on two nails over the door in the kitchen for as long as I remember, tube stuffed full and an empty chamber. She never failed to this day, although covered with dust and kitchen grease. That 1924 carbine took everything from woodchucks to moose, but mostly put down farm critters for th...

The sealer will probably work. Just one warning: Don't put a sealer or JB weld on the rivets if ever think that you might try to have it welded. Those thin aluminum boats are tough enough to weld when the are clean, but I have had guys bring in one after it was JB welded, and want me to weld it up....

mack

Sounds like some real sound advice here. A re-barrel is the last resort. How the bore "looks" doesn't matter, how the target looks is another story. I would try every cleaning I could think of, every load, a re-crown maybe, then re-lining, and as a last resort a new barrel. They don't make...

I don't post often, just "lurk" most of the time. However work has kept me pretty strapped for time to even do that lately.

mack

Redwing. Only work boots I've bought for decades. But, be aware that quite a few of the models are now made off shore. :evil: Ditto. Even their "offshore " models work good, just have to watch the sizing, (widths), for steel toe jobs. I think some of their boots are put together here, but...

OK, so what is left???

I can't say that I've been one of the bigger customers of Midway, however everything transaction I have had with them has been very satisfactory from my point of view.

mack

Doc, thanks. I'm going to send for some Pain Wizard and give it a shot.

mack

Doc, does it really work? How about for arthritis in the spine, hips and hands?
I've been dipping into the horses bute to try and get some relief lately.

mack

Pete, when do you get out of he hospital???

I've been using a Brown & Sharpe digital for quite a while in our small engine shop. It has stood up real well, even withstood multiple drops on concrete floor, (dials can't take that). I think I paid less than $140 for it a few years back, but I think they have less expensive ones. My mic's are...

mack

I'd swap ya a shag and 2 s*** pokes, just to see one in the wild!

mack

Do they really go "Beep, Beep"??

mack

Isn't that only a 16" barrel? I think I would want about 4" more on a .308 tube, the blast has to be some kind of mean... But I do live the concept and the looks.

mack

Into the local hardware today for a new padlock for the truck box, (lost key, had to use the bolt cutters). Well the good news is it looks like they got in a very small restock of Rem. ammunition. No .22s or 30/30, but a few boxes each of .308, 7mm08, '06, some 12ga turkey loads.Their case wasn't fu...

mack

Kirk, whatever you decide on try to get a couple of bricks of .22lr thrown in on the deal, you may be able to retire early on it! Best shooting .22s Ive had have been Marlins, 25 in a bolt gun and a 795 semi auto. The 795 would maybe(?)come close to 2"@ 100yds with the right loads, the model 25...

Happy Alamo Day!

mack

First you take a cow.....
I've worked with it a bit over the years, made/repaired tack, some gun leather and such. Do you have specific questions?

Motors and generators are very similar in design. What I want to know is how many old fans do I have to put on the roof to generate 5kW?

How close is your roof to the jet stream?

We did have a horse like that. QH gelding, 5yr old when we got him. First day we had him, put him in a temp. stall, one that had the panels held together with pins. Within minutes he had pulled enough of the pins so that it all collapsed. Barn stalls we had to wrap a chain through the bars and put a...

3 things come to mind. Buggered up plastic follower, dented/out of round magazine tube, piece of crud or dirt. If you can get the plastic follower out, a light shown through the tube may tell you. It's a pretty simple mechanism, shouldn't be a hard fix.
Good luck!

mack

Careful if you are using carburetor cleaner near any blued gun parts. Some of that stuff will freckle a blued part, (don't ask how I know!).

mack

Perry, I've had good luck with old Master padlocks that have rusted up into a lump around salt water by soaking them in a jar of "Marvels Mystery Oil" for a few weeks. They looked worse on the outside than what you have got there. Not saying they looked very pretty afterwards, but they wou...

If you can get the remains of the old stud out, then you can re-thread/bush or whatever is needed to fit a replacement. If the rest of the carbine is decent, I think I would turn it over to a competent 'smith, unless you are a decent backyard machinist. Don't bugger up the side of the receiver in ot...

I panned a few flakes here in Maine on the Swift River a few years back. Kids loved it near as much as I did. I'd starve to death with cold wet feet if I had to depend on it!

Won't beat '76-'77 here. We had -42 at 5:00 am Jan. 14-15 if I remember. Living in the old farm house down the road from here with my bride to be and a couple of black labs. Came home from working 2nd shift at IH in Portland, I couldn't chuck wood into the Home Comfort in the kitchen fast enough to ...

Pitchy, Minus 2 when I did stalls yesterday AM, (made for easy pickin' at least), the walk to the upper pasture with my two girls was even colder, dang turkeys wouldn't move off the manure pile as we went by, had two deer gleaning the grain/hay by the gate and they didn't want to move either. Funny,...

mack

Pitchy, When I was a kid, we had a summer house out on one of the coastal islands here and it had one very similar to that in a small upstairs bedroom. It looked like it was sized for a child or a small backside at the least, (maybe people were smaller then). I never used it, but I do remember that ...

Kind of a cool video. However when an apex predator gets that nonchalant in human presence, I would be concerned that sooner or later a human will get hurt, and a cat will have to be killed. Sort of like when a 'yote starts acting like neighborhood fido, something is going to get hurt.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
Wife says it was a very small loss....

Let's see... wife's chili, (w/home grown habaneros), side of black beans and cornbread.
I wasn't just born in the wrong century, but also the wrong corner of the country.
