  1. Have a similar problem. My pyloric valve no longer works to keep things from backing up. Mimics a heart attack. But under control now with Prilosec. Prefer Jameson’s or Bushmills any way.

    Amen. The retirement system in this country has become a dumpster fire.
  3. General Buford’s calvarymen on Cemetery ridge on the first day of the battle were armed with Spencer breech loaders, it would be interesting to see if there were fewer of those found loaded then Springfield and Enfield muskets used by the Union and Confederate infantrymen, respectively. If so, it could be a function of the complicated procedure needed to load a musket in the heat of battle. Probably a lot of factors. “The Killer Angels” movie, later renamed “Gettysburg” is a great movie. The Killer Angels book was very good as well. Walking that battlefield was a very memorable experience, especially for a civil war history buff like myself.

    That’s right. And yes it did. Osceola is a beautiful little town too.
  5. If I ever get a chance to sit down with you and buy you a couple of beers, I would like to hear it.

    Polaris was Minnesota, I believe. Thank God Wisconsin still has Oshkosh industries.
  7. Works. PA scope is an excellent choice.
  8. There was a discussion about this a while ago with a barrel exploding. Found this article on loaded rifles at Gettysburg. https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/almost-every-rifle-recovered-at-gettysburg-was-fully-loaded-and-no-one-knows-why?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Organic4&utm_term=History&utm_content=almost-every-rifle-recovered-at-gettysburg-was-fully-loaded-and-no-one-knows-why
  9. Wisdom good advice for all.

    Grilling

    Tony’s has been a standby for me since 84’ visited my father in law in Biloxi and he turned me on to it.
  11. Tickets arrived. My internet is down, so I just logged on.
  12. I have two “B’s” and a lot of magazines, but can’t see a use for a third one. Really is dumb, because the Armalite Gen II mags are among the best in the industry. Pricey, but indestructible.
  13. 6" barrel is a heck of a lot more accurate in a revolver. I like the S and W Model 28. N frame same as the 44 magnums. And check out the Diamond D chest rig holsters out of Wasilla Alaska. https://www.diamonddcustomleather.com/collections/holsters
  14. I have given some thought to chambering my AR10 B standard rifle in 260 Remington. From what I understand the biggest roadblock is fine tuning the gas port. 98 has already been through that however, and has me thinking about it when I get an extra $700 for a barrel.
  15. They look a lot like the infrared plates on my Char Broil. Which actually work. First time I have gotten a propane grill to 550F. Have started to do reverse sear out of necessity down here due to limited equipment. But actually works quite well. Looking good Shepp!
  16. Son and I both chase deer with Savage 30-06 bolts. I think I had a stretch of 15 straight years taking a deer with it. Started passing up shots when my son started hunting with me.
  17. Funny, I feel the same way. Still prefer my two A2 butt stocks to the fancy stuff on my other AR’s. Will probably change back sometime.
  18. Beautiful legends!

    My class 3 guns

    Nice! Must own a hedge fund to afford ammo!
  20. Truth. Only ones I use.
  21. $2.69 Sam’s in Florida. Drove a company car for 32 years. Never paid a dime for insurance, gas, maintenance. Was billed $25 a month for personal use. Saved me $100’s of thousands of dollars. Wife had one too with the same benefits. Quite a few were 4 wd SUV’s in the day when they still had good off road capability. The places I took them and the trouble I got into the company and their insurance carrier wouldn’t have wanted to know about. Got a stupid rule the last five years that you could not transport firearms in a company car, even cased. Till then we had some reps out west coyote hunting from their cars between sales calls! Probably why they started it.
  22. You and Matt got all mine.
  23. Amen
  24. Truth. All of the politicians all of the time. NO exceptions.
  25. NOAA’s stuff is generally top of the line. Had some experience with them on the Great Lakes. That kind of work can give you a hell of a reputation.
