Since Pitchy mentioned the possibility of loosing one's handgun during lifes rough and tumble events, I'd like to add that in addtion to somes sort of restraint being built into a holster, a lanyard is always a good idea. I never thought much about them until I picked up a 1917 S&W. I figured th...

I really like the one I got from http://levergunleather.com/ It's a crossdraw for 4 5/8" .45 Colt Blackhawk. I don't like a lot of decoration so went with a simple border stamping. But Lever, can do it as fancy as you want. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Jeepnik/GUNS/BlackhawkHolsterRig...

Yep, no shortage at this end of California either.

No, I'm between 'smiths right now. So, if you find a good one let me know.

I always thought a "tanker" Garand would be cool. But, I could do without the picatinny rail. even with my bad eyes, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to hang any sort of optic on it. But, I was thinking of a barrel of only 20". It would make a nice companion to my Springfield Scout,...

I don't see a dimple in the primer. Is it unfired?

There were two types of training rounds for the 3"/50 caliber (caliber referes in this case to the barrel length of the gun, with a 3" shell, the barrel would be 3x50 or 150 inches). The wooden type seen were used for loading practice, and were thus inert. The second type had a non-explodi...

I don't really ride street anymore. But, my bike is "street" legal, so on rare ocassions I will. I have a CCW, so that's not an issue, except, I really, really, really, wouldn't want to be carrying one if I went down. The road is bad enough, but a hunk of lumpy steel between you and the ro...

Okay, is it real, or just a highly orchestrated "hack". Well, I would think, that if it were real, the major antivirus/malware companies would have been all over it. I haven't received anything from either Norton or McAfee. I have two networks and run different op systems and antivirus on ...

The left arm is my stupid arm. The only thing I trust it to do right is carry heavy stuff. :lol: Okay Gunny that sets off my BS alarm. Remember two kids that were/are Marines, I know you can shoot with either hand. Seriously, do what you can to avoid the knife. It seems ever if they fix things twen...

Jeremy, that's a cop out. You got "two" shoulders.

Just kidding sarge, hope it gets better.

I don't know on which ships this man served. But joining the Merchant Marine during WWII was in effect writing the same blank check for their lives that every service man or woman wrote, regardless of where or when they served. I grew up in a port town. Most of my uncles served in the US Navy during...

Darn two in a day. Well, I guess we're getting to that age.

I'm mostly a big, slow bullet guy. I prefer things .40 caliber and above. I will go to .30 cal for things like 30-06 and .308. Anything smaller is a varmit cartridge and I only own one, and it was a gift from my boys. Oops, forgot the .243 win I got as a kid, but it sorta just sits these days, gotta...

jeepnik

Now see, they didn't dare do that in Texas, or quite a few other places as well. Cuz, once the shooting started, the locals would likely have engaged the bad guys and there would have been real dead people in the square.

I was a died in the wool Chevy guy until '78. When I found this 1978 LTD II Sports Touring model.

Interestingly, mine is the same color scheme as the one from the brochure.

Have some of you fellers tried the new MicroWave Ovens and Coloured TVs? :lol: That TV thing will never last. And you need fire to cook things. While I do like new fangled stuff, heck I like stainlesss in firearms, I enjoy a more traditional look when it comes to firearms. Or at least a look that h...

jeepnik

Looks like a good score. But, were it mine, the plywood would have to go. Darned cartridge names are begining to sound like the designations for old big blocks. But at least I can understand what size they are. Heck with all the x.x liter stuff on engines these days I gotta go look it up.

jeepnik

I'm sorry, but with the exception of the recent 10/22 takedown, it seems that the engineers at Ruger are esthetically challanged. I know plastic and light weight metals are all the rage, but I'm sure they can do better. Remember the original Whitney Wolverine. Now there was a light weight .22 with s...

Dad taught me to respect the animal, and make it's taking as painless as possible. For the type of hunting I've done, it's just too light to hold enough energy to do a good job at the ranges expected.

If it's really bad, the previously mentioned Lewis Lead Remover. For general use, Shooter Choice Lead solvent. Their copper solvent is good too.

jeepnik

Heavens, well, everything that needed it. It's one of those things you always have around. That, and various epoxies are one of man's greatest types of inventions. It's pretty much up to the imagination of the user.

Okay, days just do not get any better than this. I hope you have many more. Hmm, time to call the kids.

Dang, 54. That's way too young. The world lost a good one there.

I've seen his stuff before. Pretty impressive. I, also, remember seeing a video in which he explains how he "prepares" his Crayolas so he gets nice smooth application. I guess it makes since to those with artistic talent. Me, I couldn't even stay inside the lines.

Never tried it. I'm pretty happy, for general cleaning and lubricating purposes, with Hoppes, one gun oil or another depending on what I find at the shop, and Gun Slick graphite lube for places like slide rails on stainless guns. While I've never had a problem with galling on stainless autos, since ...

The above mention of Leon Cuddeback got me to remembering. For a time, I worked out at Cuddeback Aerial Gunnery Range. It was named for Leon. Not sure if it's still used. But, there must be tons of unexploded ordinance out there. When a rocket or bomb didn't explode, it was "marked" by the...

First jet I ever flew was a Deisel 8! That was a MANS jet - no hydraulic assist and a real fist full of steel. You could deploy the inboard reversers while in flight and the old joke was that if you could SEE the runway - you could land on it. Don't bloody care how high you are. The flight attendan...

How much has Victorville and Apple Valley grown? I havent been there since '88. Use to go to Hesperia and up the back side of mountain to Deer Lodge or Rim Forest. Is it still dirt? Can you still shoot around the desert there? Todd You would not believe it. I was stationed there in the early 70's. ...

I was bored so I went to the gun show in Victorville. Haven't been to one in several years. It was pretty crowded. Lots of AR stuff. I saw a couple old 94 levers (40's and 50's) but they were very expensive, $750-$950. A few first gen Colts, very expensive. One thing that was selling was a little m...

Of interesting note, hunty lions is illegal in California. Heck, kill one trying to eat you, and you better have a good attorney on speed dial.

Aerospace, pharmaceutical, petroleum, food manfacturing, medical, various light industries, municipal water and sanitation districts. I deal with a lot of equipment vendors and construction companies (though construction, except for hospitals is dead right now).

FAA requires a twin engine aircraft to have enough power on one engine to fly the plane to the site of the crash.

From what I gather from a nephew that grew up in Paradise and now lives in Chico, most folks are calling it BS. But, it will be interesting to see what the blood test reveal. But he is lucky he didn't end up like the baby buffalo at Kruger Park. Of course there it was lions and a croc, and they both...

I never think of things like that. My wife does, but I usually try to avoid it. I did what I did, it's done. Now folks that are currently active surely deserve any discount they can get. Because, while they are paid a heck of alot more than I was, it's still real hard to make ends meet on a GI's sal...
