Well, I’d like to see the pair from the barista……

With all those Colts I’d say it’s time to “step up” and join the Colt forum….

Did you know run of the mill SAA’s that are NIB are bring 2500? Just think…..1 Colt = 25 Ubertis or 63 R’s.

There’s guys there who specialize in certain models……have not seen anyone who is well versed in all of them, but who is? I know little on the small framed guns or .22’s. One thing I did notice and there’s not many who know they are doing in reloading…a few, but not widespread.

Can’t get started with this heat and humidity.

Mine are all shooters. Only “collectible” I had was a 4 5/8” Ruger 3 screw 45 “unfired”. The Ruger collectors said don’t shoot it, great shooter

Well Dad, just came in from a 4 acre cut……all that bouncing is hard on a senior citizen…..ya know, the pasture out back isn’t like the “fairway”. It’s more like the “rough”. Now I got to get back out there with the push mower around the pond, then a bit of weed whacking….

After that I have to take the loader off of the big Kubota and get it ready for the side 2 acres. That’s not necessary as it’s my in-laws….but I do them a favor as they do a lot for us.

Well, gas time…feel a little rumbling going on in the intestinal track…..

Holy smokes! 90 freakin degrees today. I rotates the tires on dad's old 3/4 ton Dodge. Found a bad ball joint, so there's a job. Rotated them on Old Red and replaced the lug nuts for him too. Then i got up on the back garage roof with the chainsaw and cut a few limbs for the old man. After that, I tore the deck off the old JD 240 cause I had an idler pulley seize a bearing yesterday. I checked online, then called Greenway JD in Bangor. They had it for the same price, so I scooted over with the Harley. I got it all back together and purring.
I soaked 2 shirts completely with sweat. I hate the heat!
Got a little done at least.

80f. today but a good breeze makes it quite pleasant

I haven't done a durn thing all week even let the landlady mow the lawn, however I think I'm on the mend and have beaten the bug I went down with.
Still can't find that elusive 16 gauge but I have found a affordable 12 gauge that looks good and a H&R topper in .410 which is tempting me. I think I will still hold out for a 16 gauge as that would make the most sense at the moment funnily enough I have just a watched Paul Harrell video on about the difference between 12 and 16 gauge, performance wise not much difference, infact the 16 came out slightly better but the availability and choice of 12 gauge ammo is of course far far better.

I wish I had never sold this one.

There are cartridges you can shoot in the 410.

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Jul 07, 2023 12:27 pm

Yea….hotter than heck here too….if I listen real close …and I can’t so I have mom listen for me……I can hear splashes from all the rich folk who have pools…….we have one too but it’s blue plastic and the “deep end” is 10”.

Mom wears this ring that used to have a diamond on it…nothing special, I bought it when we were kids…..so………I’m looking at it right now and asked mom to give me the ring and I’ll find something that looks like a diamond and she says, “no”, I like the way it looks”……So…….
then I suggested it again and told her I’ll epoxy a golf ball on it and she can tell everyone it’s the worlds largest pearl.

She didn’t like that either exclaiming, “I don’t give a F what people think.” Yea….ya get like that…

That makes sense…..a 41 mag casing with a round ball sized to the choke diameter or for that matter just an empty 410 shell, cut down for convenience with 2-3 grains of bullseye….It would be quiet as a church mouse.

gamekeeper · Post by **gamekeeper** » Fri Jul 07, 2023 12:34 pm

I have a Gauge Mate 16 to .410 adapter, that's one of the reasons I want a 16 gauge the other reason is I have loved 16 gauge shotguns for years bought my first one when I was 18 or 19.
I use a .410 a lot near to buildings and I enjoy the challenge on pigeon...

I also have a reloading kit for .410 for experimental purposes....

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Jul 07, 2023 1:05 pm

Sure thing GK…..for experimental purposes…….the best way would be a rifled screw in choke……lacking that an undersized round ball with a grease patch…..you could have a blast with the ball and patch, blasting squirrels out of the tallest of oaks, taking pot shots at cupolas on barns, old cars, on the road or not, bicycles……(never did like those bicycles…people around here decide to take their bike ride on narrow 2 lane roads during rush hour.

Must have been 15-20 years ago during one of those “Tour-de-France” thingys when someone threw a box of tacks onto the road and trails of where those stupid bikes were traveling…….I know it’s wrong but me and mom were laughing like crazy watching those competitors with their little patch kits…..

45 Colt in a .410

gamekeeper · Post by **gamekeeper** » Fri Jul 07, 2023 3:25 pm

Yeah I have seen that video and a few others, problem is in the UK you can't just buy pistol or rifle ammo unless you have a police certificate for that particular caliber

I remember years ago an old boy showed me his .410 and it was marked up .410 or .44 exactly what .44 it didn't say but it was a very old USA made single barrel.

A little research and I found these guns were common around the time of WW1 and could fire two inch .410 or 44/40 shot shells also round ball .425.

The two inch .410 is a really useful little bugger for rats and other critters where the two and a half is too much, still available in the UK.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Fri Jul 07, 2023 4:05 pm

Hey GK.....
First, that 16 was BEAUTIFUL! Good thing you ain't here or I'd thump you for selling it.

The 44, I think was an H&R, and was chambered in 44-40. I have one. It was my dad's first gun, and the first gun both I and my son fired. My dad had it chamber reamed to .410 when he was a kid.
They were smooth bore, but of course you could get 44-40 cartridges in round ball, shot, and regular slug variations.

Well, we got the outhouse. I was going to use some Amish hemlock and build one. However....Kristy sees this thing for cheap and ordered it, saying "It can be a poo palace".
It actually should work. Still got some work to do obviously. Gotta cut a hole and build the "business bench".

gamekeeper · Post by **gamekeeper** » Fri Jul 07, 2023 4:19 pm

I like the Poo Palace....

Jay the only reason I sold that 16 was a film company wanted it to make it look like an Elephant gun

the offered me a lot of money and said I could have it back complete with express sights BUT alas I never saw it again not even in a movie

Thanks for the info on the .44 .410.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Fri Jul 07, 2023 5:56 pm

Well then you are certainly off the hook, buddy. I should have known it wasn't really your fault.
Forgive me for ever doubting you!

I did manage to get out for a little trail romp this afternoon. Found a twisty, rocky, humpy, and VERY steep climb to try out. That little sucker crawled right up it without any loss of traction. I was feet up the whole way. Coming down was worse. It was steep enough it hurt my toes crammed into the toes of my boots.

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Jul 07, 2023 7:40 pm

That must have been a sight going down the road……..yea, just cut a hole and put on a padded toilet seat…..there’s nothing more that takes the urge away than a solid seat that’s 0 degrees. We used to sprinkle water on the seat and one guy came out of the outhouse with his tongue stuck on it.

That thing is big……more than enough room for a magazine rack and a Sears catalog….

GK….I can send you brass and round balls of appropriate size. When I sold a gun to Kirk D in Canada I had to go through all kinds of forms and a lockable box. I’ll never go through that again as he said nothing was even looked at. Not to mention it was a like new Smith & Wesson New Model #3 in 44 Russian…..

I thought I had given up on gun control but the latest ideas from King Charles government is to give the police power of entry and seizure of firearms without a warrant, now not liking this idea I have again given the government my ideas on where to stick their ideas but I already know the most likely outcome...

Extremely impressed with the whole generation and execution of the camp house idea and getting it in place. The matching out house is over the top. Incredible!

Haha yeah. I got to thinking about other uses too. You could screw it to the trailer and use it as a mobile ice fishing shack too.

Paint it white and you got a hillbilly camper.

Last week I did manage to get a storm door on the camp. A welcome addition. I also made some quick gun racks. I put them over the windows and door. This utilizes wasted space, while keeping your rifles safe from getting knocked over or little kids.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Sun Jul 09, 2023 8:01 am

I got nothin.
I didn't do much of anything yesterday. Guess I'm not used to being around on weekends. So far today ain't shaping up to much either. I took a short ride with the trail bike last night.
My boy sent me pics and video of my grandson riding his first dirt bike. Not bad for 5 years old. I've noticed that he is extremely coordinated and mechanically inclined. That runs in the genes. With such an early start, he should be a really good rider. He is all hot to race at their local MX track on Kodiak, but he is still too young. Even for the pee-wee class.
I started late, as my mother was certain I'd be killed. She had some relative that had wound up under a pickup while riding a motorcycle. That really screwed me over. It took me till I was 11 to wear her down. Even then, she didn't make it easy. I worked my butt off to buy my cousins 1973 Yamaha DT250 for 225 bucks. It was pretty rough and as soon as I bought it, it went on the blocks for several weeks while I earned money for parts.
My dad always wanted a bike too. He got the same heat (most likely worse) from my mom. He struck a deal that if he got into the mill he would buy one. My mom agreed to shut him up, thinking he'd never get in. He got in during the summer of 82, and on the way home after his first day, he bought a 1982 Suzuki GS850G. He didn't even have a license. It took him a year to get my mom on the back, but once he did, they were off.
They rode the 850 until 1987, when they bought their first touring bike, a 1987 Yamaha Venture, with a 1200 V4. Dad's work schedule allowed them a lot of time to ride, and they went all over the eastern US and Canada.
He traded for a 92 Honda Gold Wing and rode it till 1997. He sold it and hasn't ridden since, but I know he misses it.
At one time, we had 6 bikes in the old back garage, which I'd cleaned out and made into a little shop when I was kid. There's still old magazine pictures and old bike brochures hanging on the walls. Along with old parts and pieces from various bikes over a couple decades.
Good times.
Every time I swing a leg over, it's just like I'm 11 again.

gamekeeper · Post by **gamekeeper** » Sun Jul 09, 2023 10:13 am

I was 15 before I got my first bike, a really old BSA Bantam, hadn't got a clue how it worked but soon learned.
Had a few more bikes over the years and rode thousands of miles in all weathers but nowadays I like a roof over my head and a decent heater however that doesn't stop me from looking at the kinda bikes that were cool back in the sixties....

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Sun Jul 09, 2023 10:46 am

Haha yup! I love the bikes of my youth. It was the golden age of bikes IMO.

Right now we are hillbilly engineering our outhouse setup. We have some good plans if I can source what I need on the cheap. Namely, a 3 foot section of 12" diameter PVC.

Post by **Old Savage** » Sun Jul 09, 2023 11:00 am

Put one like this in a drainage ditch under water.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Sun Jul 09, 2023 12:20 pm

That's worth some cash now OS.

Of my old bikes, I think I had 2 that are now somewhat collectible.
A 1974 Yamaha TY250A Trials bike, and a 1982 GS550MZ Katana.
I'll have to see if I can scare up some pics of some of my old rides.

gamekeeper · Post by **gamekeeper** » Mon Jul 10, 2023 3:34 am

I have been to a couple of motor cycle museums and seen examples of my first BSA looking like new, boy I wish I had kept it instead of giving it to my brother

Why is it that every time I decide I can't live without a certain gun every example of that type of gun disappears from he planet

It happens every time I have the urge to change one gun for another ( which has been frequent all my life) if of course I lived in the USA I would have kept most of my purchases and just built up a collection.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Mon Jul 10, 2023 6:56 am

And we'd be proud to have you old buddy!

Yeah, I'd like to have a nice 73 Yamaha DT250. However, the bike I really learned the most on was my second bike. It was a 1978 Yamaha DT175E. It had the early Yamaha horizontal mono-shock. It was a fantastic bike, and very fast and smooth in the woods (to me, anyway).

It makes lots of sense. The rain gutters on the house are about 8-9’ up there……..some of my security lights are 12’-14. The 24’ ladder will help when I’m waxing the roof of the Jeep.

Also at Home Depot they have this $3500 wheelbarrow. It has 3 wheels and a 20 horse power engine to make it go. It can carry 400 pounds and comes with mag wheels…….

Home Depot......? 3500 dollar wheel barrows.......I..? Holy smokes, you gone uppity.
Me? Well I been combing junk piles for the ingredients to my "Super Pooper".
Yesterday, I scored this 30" section of municipal sewer line. Very thick, almost indestructible plastic. And has the phlange end too! This will hold the toilet seat and go down through a round hole in the floor. It can be put in one corner of the outhouse, taking up much less room than the usual "bench" type seat. Those suck, because you can't sit like on a toilet. With my setup, it will be just like a regular toilet. And can be easily removed incase you need access to the hole.
Now I just gotta scrounge up 2 pallets and a piece of OSB.
Weeeee......Doggggeee!

You dummy! You messed it alllll up. I was making it look like I needed this $3500 wheelbarrow but in reality I already have a half dozen of them…..I WAS going to ask my dad to borrow the money for it…….you know….hoes and coke weekend coming up.

Yea……for real …..that big PVC is expensive…..I had to go to a specialty place up in West Chester for the 8” x 14’ for the pond….like $200

Ok. Got the base all built. Got the poo palace on the base. Got the hole all cut in the floor for the pipe. Did a mock up. I think it's gonna work good. Of course, the pipe is just sitting on the driveway, so the seat is several inches higher than its going to be. This leaves a lot of extra space in there. That way, if there is a bunch of people in the camp, someone could change their clothes or whatever. We have room for shelves or whatever, too.
Now we just have to dig the hole, haul it up, and get it in place.

People like their feet to touch the floor when dropping off a democrat……leaning forward so their feet touches the floor will make it hard to poop…squishes the passageway. At our camp we had several pieces of 2x4 about a foot long for people with short legs.

How can anyone feel sorry for this homeless trash? There’s wouldn’t be that much mess if you left 50 dogs in there…..who knows what diseases they left there…….and if you confront them you will be the bad guy. The boiling point must be getting close.
