Have to be quite a deal to offset flying to Alaska. It would take all my money to get there!

I wondered if H.F Cable was selling some stuff off. He has a place near Anchorage.

OldWin

My kid texted me a couple pics last night. Seems his bud from his unit is in Eagle River, near Anchorage, and he stops in this gun shop. He sends pics of racks of old Winchesters. :shock: You name it.....86s, 92s, 94s, oddball stuff. I couldn't believe it. I asked my kid if he was texting from the p...

OldWin

Yup. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't attacked anyone here. Either for their opinion or what they shoot for firearms. If someone wants to search my posts and can find an example of such, I will duly apologize. One thing I KNOW I haven't done, is whine or complain to to Moderators about anyone ...

OldWin

Too bad....
They should have called it .360 Creedmoor. Then it could have done anything better than anything else.

OldWin

Hey 45! I bought it direct from Firebox. They have different models. Mine is the Nano in stainless. They have a bigger one and they come in titanium also. My other stove is a Core 4 in titanium. I like it, and it is very configurable, but it's separate pieces that have to be assembled. I think I'm g...

OldWin

Haha well there! I never really gave it much thought. I always called it "45 Colt", cause that's what it said on the barrel and brass. I also didn't mess with any of the others. I found it enough work explaining to everyone that it wasn't 45acp, without asking for even more problems. My da...

OldWin

Yeah I know. But something wasn't right about that gun.
Finish didn't look quite right.

OldWin

That is some good stuff buddy!
I saw a 3 screw 45 convertible a couple years ago. It was nice, but something seemed off, so I walked. I've learned to trust my gut.

OldWin

Well that sure paints a picture!

OldWin

Those Kelly Kettles are slick! Probably 90% of the time you are just boiling water. Either for coffee or to re-hydrate and cook a meal. One thing I like about the twig stove is its very compact and light, while allowing me to configure my cook gear. The stove itself fits in a shirt pocket. It also c...

OldWin

Well I tried out my new twig stove. This is a new one and I hadn't "burned it" yet. I had a few minutes so I grabbed some sticks off the lawn and tried it out. I "boiled up" and made a coffee from my trail pack. I like this stove better than my old one. My old one has more config...

OldWin

Yeah. I always figure if someone doesn't buy the US made stuff, soon it won't be there to buy. Every time I bought a copy (usually cause it was all i could afford) I was never happy with it anyway.
I'd just rather save up and buy what I really want. Even if it it took a couple years.

OldWin

Haha yeah. I can't say anything cause I remember doing the same thing myself. But, my old Dodge's AC really took some power to run. My Rubicon is an 03 and still blows cold. May be down a little, but it ain't much, if any. I don't notice much difference in my oil use from one year to the next, no ma...

OldWin

Haha no I have the heat on when it's 40. However.... I WILL say Kristy waits as long as she can before turning it on in the fall. I'm telling you bro, at night it's down to 30 and she still don't start it if it warms up during the day. Brutal. What I meant was is that if it's 40 out and your heat is...

OldWin

Yup. Just make a huge mess. Makes everything icy and you can't get rid of it till spring. It's like I tell everyone.......it's not like you're not going to use ANY oil if it's 40 degrees. You ain't gonna use much more if it's 15 degrees, but the conditions will be a LOT better. No iced up roofs and ...

OldWin

Been the same here 45. I HATE it. Just want winter like it's supposed to be. Gonna warm up this weekend again.

OldWin

Tell you what! You ain't gonna see me spoonin' no dude! I don't care how cold it is. Besides, I'm used to the cold. I just got home. Ran up to camp for a while. Of course, I forgot the chain saw. I drove the Gladiator all the way in. There was a tree down so I had to cut it with the Hudson Bay axe I...

OldWin

Hey! No kidding? I'm on one of those too.
Oh oh! Another potential for trouble!

OldWin

Gaps........?......banjos......? So you still have SOME teeth. That's pretty fancy round these here parts. :D That IS pretty steep buddy. The last beer Six had was probably the beer I brung him! I know it was local brew. Can't remember if was from Bigelow brewing or Oak Pond brewing. If Bigelow it w...

OldWin

Hey that's right!
We're supposed to have a beer and pub report from our buddy.
I always wanted to check out a real pub. I'm guessing they ain't nothin like our local establishments.

OldWin

I don't see any problems. Everyone can have a different way at looking at things and I'm fine with that...it's been that way forever. I agree my friend. I don't care what anyone does. If it's someone I don't care for, I just avoid them. I don't dump gas on the flames. However, I don't like behind t...

OldWin

When the GSRs were hard to find, I built a scout from a Smith Corona 1903A3. I had some time in the winter and got it finished. It came out well, but the GSR sees more use.
I'm going to pull the factory Ruger flash hider off mine and replace it with an AR10 birdcage.

OldWin

Yeah. Hopefully it will be all smooth sailing.
I will most certainly behave.
However, I won't be something I'm not. I won't be nasty about it, but I will be honest.

OldWin

Nice looking rifle! Will that one take AR style magazines or are you stuck with the proprietary Ruger mags like the .308s? jb 8) The magazines for the .308 are actually not proprietary. They use the AICS pattern mags. Thus, you can use Ruger, AICS, and Magpul magazines interchangeably. I have a blu...

OldWin

I have a blued .308 from 2013 (I think). It has been fantastic. A rifle with a ton of utility. Mine had the laminated stock but I bought the synthetic from Ruger. It shaved three quarters of a pound. I have a Leupold Scout in QD rings and a red dot all set up for it. With the factory irons, my bases...

OldWin

Yeah. I prepped a couple hundred 45 Colt brass. Now I'm watching Gunsmoke. Probably hit the hay in a while myself. Have to hit the range with the oldest kid and my old man tomorrow or Tuesday. Then have to head up to camp and check on everything.

OldWin

Haha yup! Thats about it now that Julia's is gone. When they were here, it was impressive. Not many locals were in attendance buddy. I saw some incredible stuff there at the viewings. He sold out to Morphy's. I think that's in your neck o' the woods. Funny story..... Right next door was another auct...

OldWin

Haha yup. Some of those auctions get insane. Never went to em. I have gone to a couple viewings where you could look the stuff over good. They let you put in an absentee bid, so I would do that. With nobody around, and a chance to look it over, I'd put in what I figured was a price I'd grab if I saw...

Ditto!

OldWin

Hey I get it bud. They have certainly done better than my 401k in the last couple years. I figure it'll be gone soon and I won't have to worry about it. I really have to make a trip down with some cash. It's hard cause I don't really need anything. It just gonna be stuff I leave my kids haha. Howeve...

OldWin

Never heard "Pull my Finger"? Oh come on! No way has she lived with YOU all these years and not heard that. Nope. :D Yeah, I figure we're all gonna be shown the door soon. Or "cancelled", I should say. Oh well. Hey now! Ain't that the 44 you were supposed to give me cheap? Ah, th...

OldWin

Merry Christmas Lenn. Hope you guys are having a good day. Stay warm, dry, and well fed!

OldWin

Merry Christmas 45!
Haha yeah, snow when its cold is gravy. Easy to clean up and no packing and freezing.
It's froze back up after that mess Friday. About 12 this morning. If Friday would have been all snow we'd of got 4 feet! Wish it had been.

OldWin

A Merry Christmas to all my pals here on the PI thread.
It's even more special with the return of our old buddy Six.

Hope all you guys have a great day.

OldWin

Get some rest buddy. It was a big day. Gettin paroled after a long stretch in the cooler at stalag 17.

OldWin

Well, I declare! All is right with the world! Our old pal Six is back! Yesiree.......our merry band of outlaws is back!

I kept a candle lit buddy. And wore my ribbon.
Welcome! It's a Christmas miracle!

OldWin

Yes sir! Time to get this hillbilly band back together! Hey GK! I thought of you last night at work. I got watching old Benny Hill skits on YouTube. I used to watch it every Saturday night with my dad when I was a kid. We laughed till we cried. That guy was a riot. After that, it was The World at Wa...

OldWin

Have a merry Christmas everyone.

OldWin

Merry Christmas all. Hope it's a safe and happy time for everyone.

His "time" isn't up till late tonight. He will be delivered by Santa. A Christmas miracle!

OldWin

Heyyyyy!
Anyone know what today is? Yeah, yeah.....it's Christmas Eve and all, but that's not the BIG deal. Why, today is the day that ole Six is out of Exile!
Yes sir, it's a magical time! It seems fitting this time if the year. A time to be thankful, and to reflect on what is really important.

OldWin

Is the Savage example just going to be a "rebranding" of a current maker I wonder? Seems ridiculous to tool up in this market. There won't ever be a day when the 1911 won't be my favorite auto pistol. My main carry is a 30 year old Colt Enhanced LW Commander. I have an old satin nickel Col...

OldWin

Yeah, I've heard it's bad further west. Just a mess here. Warmed up and rained with crazy wind. Heard there is 190,000 without power. Now its snowing and the temp is dropping like a rock. I hate weather like this. Just want winter.

OldWin

For me it would be loading. The Dillon is all set up for 45acp, but not 45 Colt. I always have more 45acp loaded at a given time. I would like a 45acp cylinder for my Colt SAA's for this reason.

OldWin

Yup. I hate the wind blowing. Makes me nervous. Have to work tonight too. Luckily, just one and I'm off. I always know i have work at camp when the wind blows real bad. Won't matter till spring I guess. Won't be working on trails much now. I can ride the sled to get closer, then would have to snowsh...

OldWin

Yeah. Governments will control this if it's viable. Cheap, plentiful, non-poluting power allows for too much freedom.
It needs to be weaponised against the population, like our energy sources are now. So those in power can keep and grow their power.

OldWin

No boring weather on the north coast today!! was 40* 4:00 am, now around 10*. The Lake Erie Snow machine is getting ready for a whopper. Get ready OldWin , it's coming your Way. OS be careful You don't get too much Sun on the Back Nine. Thanks for the warning buddy! Just finished cleaning the carb ...

OldWin

We hoofed it in to camp today to check on everything. Nice and quiet in there today. More rabbit sign than I expected to see. Saw a few deer tracks, but those will be gone soon. In spite of perfect yarding areas on our property, they skeedaddle south about 6 miles once the snow hits.

OldWin

I have too many .357s. Well......not really. :D The biggest issue is they run the gamut in regards to strength. From a rifle, to Ks, to a Colt SAA, and an early Flat top BH, and GP100. I don't want 15 different loads in the same cartridge, so for general shooting and field use I tend to keep it ligh...

OldWin

Glad you're ok.
Be careful with stress. Some can't be helped, and I don't pretend to know what goes on in your life, but much can be let go of. I've dumped most all of mine. My goal is to stay OFF pills.
Take care of yourself sir.
