You're about to have all the fun you can with pants on. It's a great cartridge. I'm betting you'll wish you got one sooner. Every 38 I've ever had would shoot with a .401 sized slug. A 24" rifle with a good bore and crown, shooting the old Lyman bullet over 8gr of Unique should put them anywher...

OldWin

You should be good to go with that 92. Start out with some factories or standard pressure handloads to get a feel for it. If you plan on running any volume through it, use cast or coated bullets, as it's most likely not a nickel steel barrel (it will say under the forearm). Many will say the old Lym...

OldWin

Haha yup. You just described most of this state. I used to think like your buddy when I saw these places. Now.....? Not so much. If they are happy, they got more than 90% of those D-bags living on the coast in their million dollar mansions wondering how they're gonna pay the light bill. Kristy told ...

OldWin

Well the airport is in Augusta. They have couches.
Cornville has neither. They don't even know about airplanes in Cornville.

OldWin

Haha yeah. Still better than going to work. That's still the worst.
Thanks Walt! I'll still check in while I'm up there.

OldWin

Same with me Walt. The only saving grace with this trip is we fly out of Augusta Airport on a small prop job that holds about 4 people. The "airport" is a single strip on the national guard base so you just park in the lot for free and walk 25 yards across a street. The airport is a single...

OldWin

Haha can you imagine? WTF?
Well.....at least he didn't keep the bathroom tied up. I try to be a "glass half full" kinda guy.
Now, if my wife and I had been sitting near him....well, that'd be a different matter.

OldWin

Cops.......couch? We're talking about Cornville. There aren't any cops. The county sheriff has to cover it. Or the state police. If they dare. I tell ya, if it wasn't to see the kid and grandkids, I'd never get on the plane. I don't worry about much of anything, but I'm not too insecure to admit I'm...

OldWin

Haha!

Nobody leaves Cornville......Nobody.

OldWin

Yeah, well that outlook is coming soon to a country near you. I got no interest I going someplace like that, and not just there. That goes for the Caribbean or any of those "parridise" destinations. I'm not interested in debauchery that I have to hide from people that know me. I don't feel...

OldWin

Haha yeah this guy at work goes all by himself. I don't know how he dares to do that. He did get run over one time by some dude on a moped. Made a mess of his ankle but he didn't dare go to the hospital there. Said he layed low for a couple days till ge could mostly walk again. He comes back with so...

OldWin

Perfect!
Things are definitely on the up-tick for you old buddy.
Bout time!

OldWin

WTH are you guys talking about? I've never heard any of that. We don't have a lot of Asians here, or anything else. The only diversity we have is people with or without teeth. East to West.......? Clams? I don't know. We got a guy at work that takes all his vacation time and goes to Thailand for a m...

OldWin

Let me guess.....Duracell?
I won't allow them in my home. They used to be good, but over the last few years they have turned into the worst batteries you can buy. I've seen them leak before you even use them. Absolutely terrible.

OldWin

Thanks guys! It took all I had to draw the line and not strip it to the frame. However, I don't want it so pretty I won't use it. Just so it looks decent and is all up to snuff is good enough. It's a woods tractor after all. Money for a new gun? I wish. It was 240 bucks in oils and filters for the o...

OldWin

A few more of where it started.

OldWin

Been tinkering on the tractor this week. I said I wasn't going to do this again, but it's like it's 2020 all over again. In my defense, I was more fancy with the old 240. My plan was to just do oil and filter changes, but I pulled the battery to put it on the tender and found an issue. The battery w...

OldWin

Haha well if there's a pile that big here, it must be in Augusta (the capital). Haha I've seen some skanky stuff on the road here. Couple weeks ago I drove my mom down to Portland to a doctor appointment. On the way back, I see this pickup and trailer pulled off askew on the interstate. There is a s...

Most definitely! It's got a charm all it's own buddy.

Maybe a little bit of a smell too.

OldWin

Hicks rule!

All them boys need is some Allen's Coffee Brandy, some Moxie, and a J.C Higgins 12ga.

OldWin

Hahaha!

Toilet seat?

Gentleman?

Couch?

You obviously ain't been to Cornville.

OldWin

Wow! Glad you are all ok.

OldWin

Haha! Sounds like your campaign is off to a great start! With a platform like that, you can't lose.

OldWin

Yeah. Just pull two levers on the side and the loader comes right off. I should have done it before I took it all apart. Now it's in the garage and if I release it now I don't have enough room to back the tractor away from it. I have the battery out and a bunch of wiring removed to allow me to remov...

OldWin

Well that is really something special. I absolutely love it, Jim.
Bra-vo!

OldWin

Hey! Six is up early. No way man. I'd never lose the factory grips. I have a drawer I keep all my revolver grips in. Everything labeled. All my 1911 grips are in a box with all my 1911 parts. Tore the nose off the 770 yesterday cause the battery tray was all rusted out. From what I read it's pretty ...

OldWin

OK, 2 nice zzz’s but Walt’s has that “grab and squeeze look”. Jay…I reread your PM and you said “true ivory” ….they will look nice as long as they are not bright white…..you can give them the tea treatment. Take the stocks off of the XR3 and size up the XR3 red……they may work after some cutting…….t...

OldWin

That's one good thing wheeling with the Jeep club. There is a bare minimum of equipment to run certain trails. They have a numbering system for the trails with a list of suggested modifications and required modifications. Also they will list the probability of damage. My Jeep goes pretty good and th...

OldWin

Cool picture! I grew up riding dirt bikes and kept at it till my son was born. Then I felt guilty and switched to 4 wheelers so I could take him. We also had the camp and used them a lot. I had a 4wd that I used hunting and trail riding. In the summer when it dried up I had a 2wd sport rug with a he...

OldWin

Yup, it's deep. Even my tractor struggled in spots. JD770 4x4 with the differential locked. I didn't want to use the sled as I have my storage fuel in it. The ground is bare back from the road a ways, and the dooryard of the camp is a mess cause I plowed it with the tractor this winter. Next is mud ...

OldWin

Hey! Walt done real well. Good for you buddy!

Got the tractor home and I'm my garage. Now it's maintenance time and getting it ready to head back to the woods. Ran and got a top link and got my log skidder attachment all mounted. Slick! Gonna work great.

I do a little o' that too Walt!

OldWin

We BARELY got in with the 4 wheeler yesterday. I got the tractor fired up and started easing that up the road. I got it to the corner and only had trouble in one spot. Took some patience and a little back and forth, but I got through it. I left it at the corner and then really struggled getting us o...

OldWin

Easy one for me. The Bowen .44 Magnum. Second place is a stainless .45 Colt/ ACP Bisley. jb:) Yes....this one! Until then, my 4.625" .357 Flat Top from the other thread. I also have a 3 screw SB candidate for the "Jason Treatment", I just haven't got off my butt and had it done.

OldWin

Hahaha!

You were supposed to send me that Merwin too! I paid for the Merwin and you said you'd throw in the FT.

Had to try anyway....
Yes, I said that but you were 5g’s short.

Haha! Like I said, worth a shot.

Ha! Great minds.... When you said how to make it last longer, I immediately thought, "clear coat it". Nice! A Deeeee....Walt Air compressor. I have a DeWayne. They are made in Cornville and cost $29.95. Sounds cheap, but you have to feed and water them. There's just an air fitting coming i...

I agree. If it doesn't work for you, and you don't want to alter it, sell it and get something that will.
That's what I do at least.

OldWin

We got a snowstorm Wednesday and Thursday and it's supposed to be close to 60 Monday. I can feel the sinuses already.

OldWin

Long time before I'll be mowing.
I heard about the earthquake. Didn't feel anything up here. We've had little tremors a few times in my lifetime, but it's barely noticeable. A log truck going by does just as much.

Holy smokes! Is that green grass? Well, at least we didn't get snow like last time. Only 8 inches or so. They got it worse down to the coast. Lots od wind and power outages too. Good place for it, stinking yuppies. Back to work now. I never got up to camp this week. Hopefully there isn't any more th...

Thank you sir. Much as I love the Colt SAA, there is just something about rolling the hammer on a 3 screw Ruger.

I don't know. Summer is in full swing down there so he's probably busy outside.

That's great news buddy! I'm really happy for you. Not only will you have a place more suitable for you, but your kid will be close by. Good stuff.

My only Flat Top. Made in 1960.

I used to do models too. There were some cool ones back in the 70s.

Haha I bet I'll be complaining before that!

That's my wife. Me......? I get out the instructions for my grandsons Hot Wheels track. I spread out all the pieces to identify and get in order. That's why I'm a machinist. It's also why, when I put something up for sale, it's gone immediately to someone who knows me. Well, it's back at it again. F...

OldWin

Yup. There's such balance in nature. Most times, you can look at a guys stuff and tell a lot about him. Like you said, if they don't maintain their stuff, they don't take care of themselves either.

OldWin

I knew you made it up.....illegals don't wash their clothes. The taxpayers just buy em more. So today I figured I'd do a little fork maintenance on my trail bike. Oil looks pretty nasty. I'm sure it was the original oil. So now I'm sitting on my butt. Just gotta put in the new oil and set the height...

OldWin

Hey don't feel bad. We got more snow coming this week. That fox stayed cause he knows you feed him. Years ago, my buddy that ran the gunshop would take his leftovers every morning and give them to a fox that stayed in a culvert at an intersection. Every time she heard my buddy's truck she would come...
