Folks did like those Polychokes back then.

One of my 16's is a suicide safety A5 with a COMPENSATED Poly. It's kind of startling because it gives you a little puff of air in the face with each shot.

I bought it for $135 around 1999. It's not hideous, but not a great beauty either.

Some of the best movie music of all time.

And never performed better than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLgJ7pk0X-s

Wow! Been a while since I loaded for my 16s. Wasn't aware of the CB wads for the 16. I still have one bag of WAA 16 from my stash and have used Italian wads from Ballistic Products to supplement. Just inherited 4 bags of shot and was thinking of getting back into shotshell reloading and shooting my...

No matter the store, if there's the least little PITA, they end up with a pile of stuff that I would have purchased left sitting where the PITA occured. There are plenty of places to shop. I don't need to put up with any cr@p. :lol: I hear you, but I already had too much time invested and was on a ...

Ha!I used to be down on the self checkout until I got in line behind a woman buying 13 gift cards to pay 13 different bills by mail. Kept telling the cashier her life story of why she couldn't get a checking account. Nope, I'll self checkout every time and get my Cabela bucks for ammo purchases too.

69. Started with a REAL Red Ryder my Mom had in the 30's. Still have the Remington 511X I bought for $30 when I was 12.

Shooting more now than ever. Shotguns, lever silhouette in .22, pistol cartridge, and big bore. Airgun silhouette in fall/winter. Retirement is great for shooting.

@marlinman here's something that is SO FUNNY. yesterday I went for a walk in the Olympic National Park at one of those wilderness spots you can drive to...

Larkbill

They'll never do a proper study of mask effectiveness because they know most of the masks people are wearing are nothing but sugar pills. A study would prove it. NIOSH calls them unrated but somewhere between ineffective and Level 1 depending on actual construction. Some may filter out dust. Like yo...

We're allowed to visit other gun forums?

One of the reasons I come here every day.

I always learn new things. My Dad was in the Pacific so my focus tends to be more towards that theater.

What a great lady.

Thanks for reminding me! That was a fun movie. Selleck at his best, Bess cute as a bug, and fantastic scenery. Plus airplanes. What's not to like?

That explains it. Haven't been to the movies in at least 25 years. And I'm REALLY selective with what I watch on TV.

Wish I lived closer, I'd come help you do it. Love to see old things that still do the job. I collect and use old outboards. My brother enjoyed your videos but said he'll stick to his Lucas mill. He has an old school bus body he uses to season his lumber. Naturally solar heated and runs a couple low...

Those things are tough. Mine ran in concrete dust constantly for over 30 years and finally the compression got low enough to make it hard to start in really cold weather. I bought a derelict pickup so I could have an engine ready to swap in to the breaker and when the machine shop looked at it they ...

Is it really a surprise Oregon would have a rule against something sensible like storing something useful that isn't always available? The jackasses from the south are determined to ruin a great place.

Larkbill

Is your International a flathead or OHV? OHV are the Diamond series made in three sizes. I had a BD220 (Black Diamond) on my concrete breaker. What a workhorse! I still have a shop manual for those engines if you can use it and want it. PM me with mailing info. My cousins in southern Alberta had tho...

The longer barrels are quieter. I have a 60s Remington bolt action with a 24" and it's noticeably quieter than some of my other guns. With CCI Subsonic ammo it sounds like a pellet gun.

I don't remember why I'm supposed to know who Tom Arnold is.

Never shot one of their 22/45 pistols but I love my MKII bull barrel. It's probably the most accurate 22 handgun I've owned. Have fun with it when it gets over the carona virus. The MK II Target models are still the top of the mountain for the Ruger MK's. Best money I ever spent. Second best money ...

They respond better than most to customer comments about more product.

I was also surprised at how much outdoor advertising they have at non-firearms venues. All over the place at Road America.

Larkbill

I was ready to believe it until you got to the Browns.

Exactly, how will all those country gentlemen know where to road hunt without the signs. You don't expect them to get out of their truck do you?

Mine never closed and in fact continued most of our match schedule, however limited this time of year. Participants were told to follow guidelines as much as possible and above all stay home if they felt sick. I still don't know anyone who has had The Wuhan.

It's funny you say that- I got a real life letter in the mail, was a local mailing address but had a post mark 3 states away!! That could just be the post office.

The pileated has really made a come back.

Dad wasn't happy. He was a phone man and very particular about his appearance. Of course had to go back in the house for a fresh shirt. We lived in a family compound with lots of trees, about 5-6 acres surrounded by fields. So it was sort of an island. I remember dozens of kinds of songbirds and we ...

Birds. When he was 8-9 my younger brother rescued a baby bird apparently blown out of a nest. So tiny we had no idea even what kind of bird. Fed it soggy bread soaked in milk and sugar, later worms. Grew into a Purple Grackle. In the fall it flew off, he (she? it) was never caged or restrained and j...

My folks bought a Generac permanent when then decided they couldn't travel to Florida in the winter anymore. Oddly, their juice went off much more often after they moved to town than when they lived out in the sticks. My Dad swore that was one of the best purchases they ever made. Especially after M...

Face it, most of what they accuse the President of is really projection.

It is a free market. Let them do what they want. The worst thing is when government steps in and prohibits 'scalping' during shortages, because that is what actually spurs the production, relocation, and distribution of goods and services when there is a shortage. CTD is jumping the gun, but that i...
