Most of the time I never found out until we were WELL on our way. Worst was with my ex. We'd hit a fast food place, I'd be driving, she's chowing on fries and her drink. Get home, take a swig of my drink and it's DIET bullcrap! "You're drinking my soda!" She'd say "Oh…I thought it sure tasted good for diet!" :bat: Got even once. She threw a hissy fit wanting fast food, after a 12 hour day for me. Got the food, came home, unwrapped hers and started on mine. The couches had just been shampooed, so I was sitting on the floor, beat down from the day. Taking my first bite, I look up and the dog has her WHOLE burger in his mouth. "Drop it!" No F-ing way I'm driving back to get a "clean" burger. Restack it, set it on the paper again. When she had about 1/3 left I told her. "Phucking a$$hole!" <lmao>

Until I lost the weight, couldn't fit anything in my waistband…so the default was always OWB. Now that I can carry IWB it is WAY more comfortable! Nothing bouncing around outside your center of gravity.

…Hello BAR!! http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/01/foghorn/new-improved-browning-automatic-rifle-bar-ohio-ordnance-works/

That's actually what sold me on XD-series pistols. Dude tumbled his loaded .45 a couple of hundred yards down a 65°-70° incline. Didn't go off, was scratched to hell, picked it up…bang-bang-bang. Reholster, reclimb.

That caliber of reloading bullet always seems to be in stock.

The M1903 is SOLD! Thanks texas30cal! The shotgun is still available.

Working on the steam catapults, you have two cylinders with a piston in each cylinder and connected by a bridge. WIth those pistons moving at 150mph+, there was an elaborate water brake at the end of the cylinders in order to prevent metal-to-metal contact. A steel box forms the water resevoir, holding about 2,000 gallons of water. We had to perform maintanence and tolerance checks on the brakes. This required going through a hatch, into the unlighted tank holding a flashlight, with the water warmed up by all the steam and half an inch of industrial lubricant floating on the surface. You then passed through a bulkhead and climbed up into the brake assemblies, literally lying in the path of the pistons. Prior to doing this check/maintanence, the procedure was to chain the shuttle/grab on the flightdeck to a padeye, rendering it immovable. But there were stories…and while you were in the water brakes you could hear movement on deck at all times. Sliding sound, shine light up cylinder…nothing. Continue working, dragging sound…look, still nothing. One of my NCOs was on the Nimitz doing that maintanence, when someone unchained the grab and started the pistons forward. Dude rolled out just escaping getting squashed with a giant spear up his arse. Shook for like 10 minutes, then went looking for blood.

Out of curiosity Magwa, why not something like a Remington 7400 or 750? Those are painfully light.

Crow pie at its best!

PM sent!

June, 1943: http://www.remingtonsociety.com/images/Remington_SN_Table-03_and_A3-2005.pdf Yes, ship to FFL or to you if you have a C&R, for actual shipping & handling cost. That ammo isn't the heaviest but not the lightest either.

This receiver is WELL above the faulty receiver range. Barrel looks good and is in good shape. The rifle shoots well.

Right on, Terry!

Got two up for sale. First is a Tri Star Viper semi-auto 12 gauge NWTF limited edition, with the extra-full turkey choke. Also comes with a 3-choke tube set of Carlson extended choke tubes. $350/obo + S&H Second up is my Springfield M1903 made by Remington (not a 03A3), with ladder-type rear sight. Included is 330+ rounds of CMP M2 ammo, 100+ rounds of that on stripper clips. $625/obo SOLD!

I think FFL looking at that paragraph. I was going to say "Hard to fight with your back to the enemy," but I'm told those FFL guys have a good reputation.

I worked with a guy who moved from Arizona up to Idaho. :yup: He's moved back to Arizona now. <laughs>

Hopefully it isn't long before the wolves figure out there's easy eatin's in large urban liberal centers.

I thought this was dang good entertainment!

I've had a couple of craps like that.

In the meantime Larry, you need to start singing this to the tune of Old MacDonald. "With a blam-blam here, with a blam-blam there! Here a blam, there a blam! Everywhere a blam-blam!" And that STILL leaves you with one…if you did a ghost load. :hunter:

Our fur missile can clear about 15' in a bound, horizontal distance.

Just saw a debate between a Col Jacobs, MOH recipent, and Lott who was saying we need to let those who will be armed on bases. I don't care what your service record is…when you sound like a mayor of Chicago, "We don't need everyone armed on our bases," you're a POS. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/04/04/medal-of-honor-recipient-scolds-guest-when-he-interrupts-him-during-ft-hood-debate-no-be-quiet/

+1 on the Howard Leight electronic muffs. I have three pairs. One quit working…so I quit throwing the other two.

Is there anything that won't get you into hot water over there?
