I have used all of the items mentioned for repairs, emergency trail repairs and extrications. But a long time off roader gave me a bit of advice many decades ago. “A 4x4 without a winch is like a condom with a hole in it. It might look good but sooner or later you’re going regret using it”. It was a...

they definitely looked hard at H&R revolvers. I'd like to see the lock works.

Waffles are okay. But French toast smothered in butter and coated in powdered sugar are my all time favorite breakfast food.

Geesh! You guys seem to be cursed. I still daily drive my’68 Ford and off road my ‘82 CJ-8. And other than things I broke off road I haven’t had these types of failures. But I also check my fluids at every fill up, tires at least weekly and change oil religiously at 3000 miles. Trannys get regular f...

In the spirit of what the OP ask, .357 mag. However I would prefer in in my Desert Eagle over any of my wonderful S&W revolvers. The DE has a higher capacity and more rapid reloading.

Not all was a crock. I have a sensitivity to MSG. It causes my tongue to swell to a point it presses painfully against my teeth, even leaving indentations on my tongue.

Like pretty much everything, there is someone out there that can’t tolerate it.

Prayers up. Waiting to know if you’ll see is hell. Hang in there and know folks are pulling for you.

Sorry to hear. Prayers up.

In 7.62 I have a strong affinity for the Springfield M1A. But that's driven by experience. I've never fired any other "battle rifles" in 7.62. I picked up a Scout Squad when they first came out. I liked the handling of the slightly shorter barrel ove the ful sized M1A. The, even shorter, S...

Eons ago my folks had a couple of properties in the Big Bear area. One had a small two room cabin (hey, the women really wanted a separate bathroom). The other was unimproved and "outside of town". I can only remember one incident at the cabin. It was a pretty big lot. It ws flat (not all ...

Being a southpaw I've always like top breaks. My first was an H&R 999, followed by a number of Webleys and Enfields. That said, I've have never cared for the grip of the Smith and Wesson top breaks. The Russian model being the most ungainly for me. However, had I been around in the later 1800's ...

After digital took over you ccould get SLR lenses for a song. And I'm talking top of the line $1000 + lenses for about $100. Folks were trading them in for new digital cameras like crazy. I figured it was time to get some really good lenses for my Cannon A1E. I spent less than $300 and got 5 top of ...

I used screw top bottles about half full of water with a couple of alkaseltzer inside makes a pretty spectacular target.

One thing about Ed, he had everything from plate spinners to the hottest rock and roll groups. It really was a family show for the entire family.

I really like mt CA Southpaw. But it’s only .38 spl. I put my bid in with them for lefty Bulldog.

jeepnik

Interesting. I'd like to see a few before saying anything more.

jeepnik

Hmm, lots of overthinking on a simple task.

A little salt, a little pepper. Cooked over charcoal medium rare. All that other stuff just hides the flavor of the meat. If you have to hide the flavor you aren't using good meat.

Sadly, the USPS is likely the most inefficient and corrupt federal organization. Old Ben is rolling in his grave.

Prayers up. HE knows who our prayers are for.

I like this guy. He makes sense. I wonder how long he will last.

jeepnik

Gave it a try. Not bad. I don't have any paid services except Prime and then only because it comes with the account. There is so much free content out there I can't understand why folks pay.

Best of luck on your procedure, prayers in bound.

My Python is a 4". I've handled the 6" and the snubby version (2.5"?). The .357 is very accurate and handles sweetly from the 4". It's a shame Colt didn't release it in that length. I guess they were trying to appeal to the CCW and target crowds. For a lot of years when I would g...

I believe the name Dum Dum was that of the arsenal that produced them.

Sadly, the government of this state thinks that the U S Constitution doesn’t apply to them. They’ve already said they’ll fight the ruling if only to delay the inevitable. Instead of allowing time to appeal before the ruling these things should take effect immediately. They don’t have any legal groun...

We here remain hopeful.

I don't name inanimate objects. Take cars for instance. My Jeep is referred to as "the Jeep", my LTD II as "the Ford", and my Tacoma as "the pickup". Although technically the Jeep is also a pickup, but wiith a 4" long bed and a CJ body it's a legal distinction if a...

I just re-read a Peter Hathaway Capstick book called "Death in the Long Grass", one of several of his books I bought decades ago. In recent years some have disparaged Capstick's work, saying he was a drunk who hung out in Nairobi bars listening to hunters talk about their adventures and t...

Glad you’re feeling better. I didn’t realize just how much my heart valve calcification was effecting me until they replaced it. While there the did 3 bypasses. None of it was immediately life threatening and the valve had been monitored for years. The advantage of this monitoring is that I never ha...

I agree with anticipation of recoil.

Here is one thing that bothers me with Mossberg and other lever action rifles; area around locking plate or lugs slot(s) isn't reinforced. IMO, it should be like on Winchester Big Bore. Yeah, some will say that this is enough steel. If it's enough, it certainly doesn't look good, it could be improv...

Good advice but too complicated.

Two men taught me the lessons I have ever “NEEDED”.

Every man should have at least one good rifle and know how to use it. My dad.

Go low, go slow and preferably in the dark. The old Sarge.

I don’t figure there’s much in mine. Yea, I had a top secret clearance. But that was 50 years ago. And if I saw anything I didn’t know it. I worked a few navy ships at the shipyard. But that was 45 years ago. Never saw anything there so again couldn’t tell anyone. I’d be a terrible spy, never been o...

I was stationed about 150 miles from home at my first base. I happen to be home on my Kelly day and answered my parents door. A very confused, not to mention young FBI agent was looking to speak with my dad. As it turned out about me. I didn’t know they did interviews for those. We had a laugh and h...

Did you serve? Did you have a security clearance? They have a file.

So we get enough rain and snow to effectively end the drought. What do the "experts" say. Well, if the snow melts too fast we won't be able to cature it all. What they aren't telly you is the reason. Like tearing down dams and refusing to build dams even though the population has increased...

Given equal fighting ability a small woman doesn’t stand much chance against a larger, stronger male. At the time my wife discovered this a fellow tried to grab my eldest from his stroller. She prevailed only because the guy didn’t know how to fight. Neither did she, but she went mama bear on him an...

Hmmm! Too many words? Orwell had a solution for that. He’s been right about a lot so far.

Drill the rivets. Start by filling the rivet flat. Center punch and carefully drill out using incrementally larger its. Do the two on the latch not the lock.

Interesting part of WW II that isn't generally known outside of Norway. Even less known but strategically vastly more important was the sinking of the SF Hydro. Carried out knowing full well Norwegian civilians would likely be killed.

Make it in .45 acp and I'll consider it.

Prayers up. And, condolences on your loss.

As I recall, using .223 in a 5.56 chamber is okay. I have often used .223 in a 5.56 to effectively fire form brass for reloading to 5.56 specs. Here's a pretty good explanation. Take a close look at the section on pressure ratings and testing. That section explains the reason for the confusion. http...

They may be a victim of their own success. Or possibly their own greed. Rather than turn customers away or have realistic wait times outfits over promise and under deliver. Not a good business model. A good example of how to handle things is Randall. They are upfront about the lead times. Yet, beca...

No musical talent at all. But I had a very, very fast car. It attracted very, very fast girls.

Well, I'm not too proud to admit I've had those days.
