Why not? There's a job to do......"carbon fiber carbide tipped blade" ....WTF IS THAT? They make metal cutting wheels that are of a reinforced material that wear.....I've used dozens of these..they can't "blow up".....they make wood cutting blades that have carbide ripped teeth...they would not do nothing......they make metal blades with very small teeth that are carbide tipped but they can't "blow up" ......

Gunny....wtf is a carbon fiber carbide tipped blade?

Snow? One thing for sure it's COLD outtide.......just got back from Costco with another $1,000 worth of all kinds of non perishbable food and supplies.......let the riots begin and let it snow...

The mighty Kubota is all ready and dieseled up.

Round these parts, that's called "normal".
Now, that may be cause we's stupid, or like the locals say, "tougher than a bag of hammers".

Sure is! Here too....you should have seen the "log splitter" I made one time out of black powder. I couldn't walk for a week.

Jay...what kind of a blade is O.S.talking about?

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 11:57 pm

All I can think of is a carbon fiber body with cemented carbide inserts.
Up here we use a hacksaw.

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 12:06 am

Hacksaw!?!!!!! You guys that advanced?????!!! Geeze, down here I'm just learning to use a hammer and chisel and they are made out of bronze.

It's cold here Jay.....20 degrees and major wind gusts....how about in yo neck of de woods?

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 12:17 am

Yeah, it's dropping now. It's 15 degrees with a good wind on it. Supposed to be 9 or 10 in the morning. The low for tomorrow is 3.
Still hasn't been real cold this winter.
Talked to Cody today. He has been doing some trapping and said it was 40 up there. Been warm.

Geeze...we haven't seen single digits in 10 years.

You want to see something really funny......Hitler finds out Joe Biden is President.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 5:30 am

CARBORUNDUM wheel! Yes fiberglass reinforced carborundum grit all held together with some sort of glue. And yes they do explode!! Even grinder wheels can explode, saw one let go in school. Just 1 more reason I NEVER wear shorts on the job sites... that 1 layer of Lee jeans ain't a flak jacket by any means but its something to stop/slow down / divert flying debris!

Ya better watch the commercial- err, weather channel! Coldest day of the year today, big storm headed our way Sunday through Tuesday! I gotta remember to plug my truck in when I get to the job this morning! Both pellet stoves are lit today!

Good news is nothing from Hersey this morning!

Post by **Old Savage** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:29 am

Well Six, what do I win? Been a while. Maybe 1 Model 53 in 32-20. A guy set me up in that caliber last year. Loaded a bunch. Go with my Buckeye Convertible.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:42 am

Fred thats a much better prize than a carborundum wheel !!
Thermometer in my truck says 12°, wind gonna be blowing NW all day!

piller · Post by **piller** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:00 am

Almost 10 AM here and 44 degrees. Single digit temperatures? Nope! Not here!

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 1:47 pm

I much prefer cold to our hot & humid summer! Sux when you are wet through just from walking outside!

Its up to about 20° but still blowing gale force.

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 3:20 pm

Oh Guuuunnnnyyyyy....
I read your answer on another post and the Amazon thingy that blocks calls....is there's a limit on how many numbers it can hold? I likely dat!!!!

Colder than a witches booby here.........just watched "no country for old men" again and again...this time I had the closed captions on and now understand it...WHAT A WHACKO!

Carburumbo blade or however you spell that....mmmmmm.....yea, I got a lot of them. Here's one for you mechanical guys...ever see a bearing blow up? Some years back I was cleaning the wheel bearings on my old '68 Firebird....degrease, oil....and then running compressed air on it making it spin while I was holding it my hand.....that baby was spinning! It blew up in my hand and broke most of my fingers. Well, I think they were broke as my hand swelled up like a football and was useless for a month....never did go to the hospital as I didn't want to get laughed at....

QUESTION OF THE DAY.....I'm watching commercials and GMC has this tailgate with 7,000 hinges on it and most likely adds $5,000 to the cost of the truck. HOW DOES THIS MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER? You still have to pay for it.------006

Fred, here's a takedown model 53 in 25-20 with a forward mounted Leupold scope on it...will it do? Made in '24

Post by **Old Savage** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 4:01 pm

Lose the scope and we're good.

Fred.....no museum here. You got loot, I got the hardest to find guns......that means for a piece of cloth that has pictures of Benjamin Franklin on it, it can be YOURS!!!!!!!

Post by **Old Savage** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 6:57 pm

Alas, in the current environment I am neither buying or selling. I did however "invest" 12 Ben's in ordering the latest golf iron technology. Made in Meh he co then shipped through Tejas to Californ I a hopefully by mid Feb to head to Death Valley.

I do have a Marlin 25-20 that has yet to be adequately tested.

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:09 pm

Hey! I forgot! I have a CL Marlin too in 25-20.....I put a full length magazine on mine when I used it for cowboy action......

Thinking here,except for Piller the rest of us have really...really...really f.u. governors.....In Pa we have wolf, Gunny has some fat guy pig who looks like Chris Christy, you have the hopefully-soon-to-be-recalled denuted Newsome, Jay has...(I don't know but if it's anything like his senator, he's f 'ed too.

Hey Gunny, remember the jokes about Chris Cristy when the hurricane came through? People were saying that's all they had to do was to let Chris Cristy walk out in the ocean to block off the storm surge.

piller · Post by **piller** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:26 pm

Unfortunately, the Demoncrats have already started putting money into a run by that professional computer hacker Beta the meth addict O'Rourke for Governor. Last I heard was that he won the 2023 election by 150,000 votes, and that 31 million of Texas'29 million total population have already voted by mail.
The USPS says the deciding votes will be under the desk no later than 72 hours after the cutoff time.

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:38 pm

Yea Piller...that is a sordid tale. Look here, you have more IQ behind your ear than I have in my whole head so I need an explanation.........I made the mistake of sitting down while the news was on.....THEY ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION and who's going to run, taking back the house, taking back the senate, blah...blah ....like, I always thought politicians had to do some work before the next election......what do they do, spend all of their time planning the next election right after they won their present seat?

piller · Post by **piller** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:50 pm

If they actually do ANYTHING,then the NEWS can attack them for whatever they want it to sound like. The more nothing they actually do, the more likely they are to be Re-Elected, given book deals, and be placed on lucrative committee assignments.

Post by **Old Savage** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 9:53 pm

6 - what kind of accuracy did you get with your Marlin CL 25-20 ?

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:36 pm

It's an MOA gun...for real, no b.s. to 100 meters....I never put it on paper past that....

Here's the "fine line"...it's MOA with jacketed bullets......with cast gas checked bullets it's a 1-2" gun....sometimes it will put ten into an inch and other times I'll get flyers out to 5".....with lower velocities at or below 1400 it's a shooter.

I've tried a lot of tricks and only have been marginally successful.....it's pretty much the same with ALL 25-20's I've owned EXCEPT a Remington pump 25 which will shoot anything MOA.

Thanks for the other..----6

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sat Jan 30, 2021 6:00 am

My Savage 23B is a tack driver with 60 gr Hornadys. Fair with 86s both feed from the mag. 75s I have to feed by hand. I sure would like a 25/20 levergun, it's one of my favorite cartridges, will handle from tree rat to Bambi with aplomb. Plus a guy can carry A LOT of Ammo!

13 degrees this morning, have a winter storm watch, 6-9" of snow to come Sunday evening until Monday evening. Gotta get the chains on the ranger, gas her up and wait for the fun!

Six I believe the Magic Button can block thousands of numbers!

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Sat Jan 30, 2021 8:45 am

Zero this morning. Luckily, the wind mostly dropped off.
Going back to the weekend shift next week so I'm off till next Friday. Hoping to get in a little time at the lot this week.

About mid 50s here and mist.

Post by **Old Savage** » Sat Jan 30, 2021 10:45 am

Mid 50s, sunny here - OK for golf, would prefer warmer.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Sat Jan 30, 2021 12:31 pm

About 10 and sunny. Beautiful day to be out and about. Doesn't feel the least bit cold. Ran over to Bangor. Stopped in the trading post in Newport to see what they had for Hudson Bay axes.
This place, for whatever reason, always has a good supply of powder and primers. Even during shortages. Stripped! Absolutely nothing for ammo, guns, loading supplies. I wasn't looking, as I'm in good shape, but it was surreal. I've never seen that place like that.

No axes either.

5 here in southern Maine this morning. -5 with the wind chill! Don't like it to much at all. At least the sun is shinning thru the kitchen window bringing in some bright light. It's to cold to do any shooting! I was thinking of shooting my Marlin 1894 in 44 mag sometime soon. Snowstorm coming in this Tuesday! Look's like a nor'easter! Could be our biggest snowfall this season. I guess I'll refill the bird feeders and watch the bluebird's this cold day! Enjoy your weekend gentleman!

You guys have any on the ground down there?
I'm up on the Kennebec a ways. We don't have much, maybe 10". It was about 0 thus morning.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sat Jan 30, 2021 2:09 pm

Yep, got the Ranger out, put the chains on it just to be ready! Got the plow pivots lubed up too. Snowblower is now sitting in the garage ready to start the party! Last forecast I saw says 6-9" here. Quite a balmy 28 degrees, much nicer than the past couple days!

Oh Lordy....another Mainester! Yea, hang around with the rest of us misfits......we don't do much more than tell lies and sometimes fanny burp on each other...

5 degrees! Haven't seen that in years but it was somewhat common as a kid growing up and well into the eighties.

Not much happening here either......got to bed around 3 and at 6 my buzzer goes off, dogs started barking, technology kicks into high gear......I grab a full auto m-4 "enhanced" which is set for 3 round bursts then I hear this cussing from outdoors......my daughter dropping off her two Frenchies as she's on another skiing trip....THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW, YOU TART.

Have a hard time getting back to sleep......

Yea, more snow I hear.....

Gunny.....I'll keep that Marlin for you if you ever want it as I'm always being deluged for my S.....lots of vultures out there.

Yea Piller...the English high command don't want their little people enjoying life too much so they give them the ugly stuff.......pretty much like they do here......

Not much on the ground down here in York county. Maybe two or three inches on the ground. Look's like a nor'easter going to hit Tuesday! I stopped down at Kittery Trading Post the other day. They had brick's of Federal 22 long rifle for $50.00 a brick. The shelves are bare! No Winchester's or Marlin's on the shelves'! Nothing else for ammo except Shotgun shell's. They had 5 round boxes' of 00 buckshot for $5.99 a box! I've never seen that place so empty! Sad state of affair's!

Thanks for the warm welcome Sixgun! You all seem like a great bunch of guy's! I mostly read all the post's. I'll add a comment or two from time to time. I mostly just learn about about firearms from some of you well seasoned old boy's! I'm getting up there myself. 57 year's old and feel 70!

13-18" of snow now! Starting at 5pm today until Tuesday. Going to be a slow moving system- a good ol Nor'Easter!

I'll take that $1400, use some of that to buy a Marlin 25-20!

Man!!! You guys get to have alll the fun....it's boring here...just a few snow flakes....reminds me of a mess of little liberals floating around all getting ready to have a melt down!

I've decided to sell that Marlin 25-20....in the box!....$1,400......

...just think, you can have a "free" 25-20. Just b.b.

A foot of snow? Whew, I have to be careful if I decide to take a leak outside.....sure hope the snow if fluffy and soft.

Dang Gunny.....you were up ...shooting birds...and back...before I even got up.

Nope.
Give me cold weather and "the big one" every time.
When you get continual small to medium storms all the time, there is more chance to loose control of the cleanup and end up with a driven on and icy driveway.

Hey! Do you guys remember (maybe only Fred) the "Dobie Gillis" show? It was all about life in S.F. and the beatnik generation....On the show they had "The Thinker" sculpture and it starred Bob Denver of Gilligans Island fame. Anyway, to get to the point I BELIEVE Old Savage was a beatnik by his picture. Beatniks were cool, up to date, progressive thinkers, free love, help-everyone-else, cool, down-to-earth people. A musical group that were real deal beatniks were "Peter, Paul, and Mary" who's well known song was "Puff the Magic Dragon" which was weed.

The only "Puff the Magic Dragon" I ever knew was the G.E.Mini Gun that was mounted on helicopter gunships in Vietnam and that spewed out 6,000 rounds a minute of .308's.

Well Fred....were you a beatnik? -----------L-----
