Yeah, for all the difference it will make.

On the other hand, at least Ted Kennedy is out and we

What everybody else said.... :D Seriously, I like Sixgun's idea the best. I have a S&W Model 60 with a 4" barrel and a Model 10 with a 4" barrel. Both are more accurate than I am. Model 10 has fixed sights, and is regulated for 158gr. loads, and the Model 60 has adjustable sights. I'm ...

I can't see how the victim is responsible at all here. At many of these gun/craft shows, displays are left out overnight, and security is provided. Some lowlife ripped the poor guy off. The issue here is whether or not one should trust another to keep tabs on one's property, and how one should choos...

Why does "True Grit" need a remake? I thought it pretty good the first time around. And I agree - nobody mentioned so far would be as good John Wayne for the character. That's no slight against any of the actors mentioned - they are ALL fine actors. -Stretch

Nice gun!

If it's in 30-30 you MIGHT be able to resist. (Not likely...)

If it's in 35 Remington, you MUST have it. Now!!

It's funny - each generation wants to make things better for the next. On the other hand, tough times DO build character, and they have a tendency to prioritize things. I'd like to make things easier for my kid than they were for me, but I don't want him spoiled. I want him to know what hard work is...

What everybody else said. Let the young man keep his nose to the grindstone, get good grades, and be well-rounded. There are, today, LOTS of academic scholarships available. When I went to college back in the early 80s, there were not so many academic scholarships available. I had a little bit of mo...

I've had very good luck with WW231 and 158gr LSWC. Winchester small pistol primers were used. 3.1 gr. is a REALLY light load, but very accurate for bullseye in my S&W Model 60. You might or might not have to work DOWN to it - it might be a little light in some guns. I shot some nice scores in th...

I burn pellets to heat the house, but I burn wood to heat the garage. In the last 10 years I think I've bought two cords. I burn about that each year, and most of it I either harvest on my own land, or pick up by the side of the road. The power company around these parts will thin/trim trees by thei...

22 F and a foot or two of snow on the way here in Central Maine. Last summer was the coldest, wettest summer around these parts since they've been keeping records. And a thousand years ago the Vikings were farming on Greenland. The only climactic constant is change, don't you think? :lol: -Stretch

Hey, madman - sorry not to reply - I missed your post. I have an Englander 25PDVC - the smallest one they make. My ranch is about 26 x 44, and it heats it on all but the coldest of nights.

I once lived in an apartment where there was trim around a closet door on the inside. The top trim board could be removed (with a little persuasion!), and there was a nice cavity behind it. 'Course, the hidey-hole wasn't fire-proof, but nobody was gonna find my cash. If you need to hide a few thousa...

It sounds as if you got screwed. Sales tax is not applicalbe in most states unless you bought the item there, or the company you bought it from has a store in that state. If he quoted you a "flat fee" - that's just what it means: A fee for the FFL service regardless of what you buy. $25 is...

Andrew, that is a terrific site. I've wanted a Hi-Power for a long time, and I finally spent the dosh for a brandy-new one. Blueing is terrific, the sights are great, the erogonomics are as good as those on the 1911, takedown is a little bit easier than the 1911, but no so easy as the Beretta 92FS, ...

Yes virginia, Nevrdull really works well on brass.

I use it on aluminum engine cases, too.

Polish with 600 or 800 grit wet 'n dry wet, with a little
wee bit (coupla drops) of dish detergent. Then polish with Nevrdull.

Beautiful!!

Man, I just looked the price up on Sportsman's Guide - I guess $25 a box is the going rate for 'em! I got some a few years back for about $5 or $6 a box - the local Kmart was clearing stock.

When I was stationed on Okinawa, there was a light bulb in the closet of my apartment. It was enclosed in a metal can with holes in it, and was there to prevent clothes from mildewing/molding.

My 2004 GMC 2500HD is in "work" trim, which is as basic as it gets. They still give ya an electronic light switch and anti-lock brakes. I do have crank-down windows and a rubber floor mat, though. Radio is AM/FM. One of these days I might put a CD player in it. (I've been saying that since...

It's snowing pretty good up here in central Maine at the moment. The forecast is 1" to 3" to 6" depending on how the storm tracks and so forth. The ground is still pretty warm, so I'm thinkin' it won't last long. We've gotten away with murder so far this season - we had 64 or 65 on Th...

Kentucky, you might expire before the brass does using that load. :wink: I have a friend with some 45 ACP brass that he's been loading since before I was born. Some of the stuff goes back, according to him, before the 2nd World War. Headstamps are no longer readable on some of the cases - they've be...

That's really a shame, Tom. it's always tough when you

Dodge and GM both pay their employees too much to build stuff. It's really sad, but they both used to build a good truck. I had a '99 Dodge 1500 SLT. I got rid of it at 40K. New radiator, paint peeling off, tranny going south, and finally oil in the water. I traded it on a 2004 GMC 2500 - work trim....

Coffee cans. Lots and lots of coffee cans with the plastic lids. They're free after we drink the Joe, so... All are labelled, so it's easy to find what I'm looking for.

I'm a big fan of the 35 Remington.
Ya can't go wrong with that rig.

Try "The World's Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins. Great fun, and

Up here in Central Maine, I burn mostly pellets, with oil as a backup and for hot water. I'd like to get rid of oil entirely, but the propane hot water setup isn't cheap. Most of the oil I burn now is for hot water. The pellets heat the house beautifully; the only complaint I really have is that it ...

I wouldn't worry for plinking loads. I trim all of my revolver brass to the same length, which is tedious. I'm way too lazy to trim all of my 9mm or 45ACP brass. I'd be there for months........

I agree with Terry - buy the best you can afford. JMIller's comments concerning the Forster Co-Ax are right on the money. I obtained a used one of Bonanza vintage.
