  1. DAMN NERDS!!!!!
  2. I came up with this when I should have been out working in the shop. Live free and be happy! Here is what we need to do: Go visit a prison, see if living in a cell with a killer, will make you happy. IF That won't work: Do some of this: Guns and ammo are ok to talk about, around women , just don't mention actual prices or costs. Ask her if she would like one in pink, purple, magenta or earth colors. Gunmetal blue and/or tan and green camo, flat black, and parkerized aren't most domesticated human females favorite colors. Discuss getting a hybrid or electric car and throw in how much pain your uncle had back in 1954 when he went to the electric chair for killing his wife's lover. You won't need to go down to the electric car showroom. Vote out the Democratic Congressman/woman Senator, Governor, Etc, Etc,. They say “If TRUMP is elected in 2020 we will impeach him again!” Get another puppy and buy a gun and ammo, shotgun for birds, Hi-powered rifle and pistol, revolver for deer, elk, moose bear of antelope, anything bigger than a rabbit. A .22 Lr or pellet gun for rabbits and squirrels, and rats . AR10 or AR15 for potential home invaders. Join the a local gun club, maybe even start going to Sunday School , Mass or Church. Golfing after lunch on Sunday is okay. Buy some undeveloped lake property and start looking for building materials, it will keep you busy during any days off and keep your mind off the bad things Congress, The Ninth circuit federal judges and the snowflakes are doing. Get another fancy car and go on a nice vacation, stay out of Anti-Trump rallies and Donkey type stuff. If you are married, listen to your wife and say “Yes darling” to all of her bitching. Don't come home drunk, bring a bodyguard and go directly to the bathroom and throwup, nothing makes a wife happier than a drunk getting sick. I learned this when our teenage son came in drunk after curfew and slipped in bed, then in a minute ran in the bathroom and threw up. She Said “well that is good enough for him, coming home drunk.” Don't ever say Man Cave around females of the human variety . . . . You are “going out to the SHOP for awhile. ” Do what ever you think will NOT make the significant other happy, You are 99.5% wrong if what you thinks makes them happy does.
  3. Words to live by. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison. To me, “drink responsibly” means don’t spill it. When I say, “The other day,” I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago. Interviewer: “So, tell me about yourself.” Me: “I’d rather not. I kinda want this job.” I remember being able to get up without making sound effects. I had my patience tested. I’m negative. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn’t fit any of your containers. If you’re sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say “Did you bring the money?” When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say “nothing,” it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 is new midnight. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever. I run like the winded. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don’t know whose side I’m on. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, “Why, what did you hear?” I don’t remember much from last night, but the fact that I needed sunglasses to open the fridge this morning tells me it was awesome. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery? I don’t mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited. When I ask for directions, please don’t use words like “east.” It’s the start of a brand new day, and I’m off like a herd of turtles. Don’t bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That’ll freak you right out That moment when you walk into a spider web suddenly turns you into a karate master. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life outta nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops. The older I get, the earlier it gets late. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.
  4. I bought an Oracle back in 2014 because I wanted a .308 sheet metal Matel rifle mainly for curiosity, since a lot of my acquaintances were giving all kinds of praises about the platform. I bought a new in the box one for less than $500 shipped to a local FFL dealer. I figured if I wanted to build one I might need one to reverse engineer, since I had never held one let alone shot one. I did do a new trigger and added a front sling swivel. I had never seen a D ring handguard. read up on the manual asked questions, found out I needed to really lube the thing up with Mobil 1 motor oil before breaking it in, Break it in? . . .Hell I never ever broke in a factory firearm and I have had several beings I was a Marine in 1960 and NRA Rifle instructor, M1 and M14, and a couple of mini14s, Winchester model 70s and Remington 700s and some lever guns. had already built a .3006 from a 03A3 receiver and built a .50 muzzle loader. I did like the way it shot so I did disassemble the critter found a couple of surprises, It went back together easily and still shoots fine. Now it is a close second Fav to my M14 and M1A 308/7.62X51 favs. If I was you I'd probably buy whichever was the best buy, money wise. I kind of doubt you would tell the difference unless you buy one each of them.
  5. YES this is what shoots best in my M1A NM rifle. Aany time I catch it on sale I BUY! I haven't been looking on SGAmmo, will start looking. . Edited: I see that SGAmmo has it for less than $20 / 20 rounds. I haven't shot this 7.62x51 168 OTM in my LR308 16.5" barrel, I did shoot some surplus 165 gn. ball but it didn't seem to shoot as well as the 145 Grain stuff. How does it 168 OTM Match does it do in your AR10 or LR308s?
  6. Cliff, I did much the same competition shooting during the 1970s and early 1980s after my time in military, but with a M1 Garand (3006) also shot a .45ACP 50' bullseye. now I have a new (2014) M1A NM rifle I shoot for fun, that can digest Remington, LC , and mostly Federal match .308 from 145 to 175 grain ammo, it seems to prefer the 168 gr Federal Match for M1A. I wanted to see if Armed-I-Doc or 98 had shot some of the mentioned ammo in a M1A. BTW, the LR 308 prefers the 145 gr. over the 168. Maybe it is because it is less expensive to shoot.
  7. Doc or 98, do you shoot an M1A .308 or 7.62 NATO ?
  8. It seems to me that even having to get a permit to build on your property so remote that a repairman is reluctant to "come up the hills. . ." and it is fine to shhit on the sidewalk and pitch a tent, and shoot up meth and dope in the big city street, is some really bad mojo! and these kind and gentle people are moving out from this land of milk and honey to Texas where every plant and bush has stickers or thorns and all the bugs bite and sting and the locals all carry guns, drive big pickup trucks, and chew Copenhagen, something just ain't right . "California, land of milk and honey, home of nuts and fruits, where the horn of plenty fills the trees and you pick gold nuggets up offen the ground!"
  9. another history thang: Any of you know how long 3 in one oil has been around, and what 3 in one means? Well It has been around as long as the Winchester model 1894 .30 30 (1894) and the label means, (1) Lubricates, (2) Prevents rust (3) Cleans I have been using it since I was knee high to a pup and now the Brand 3 in one is owned by WD 40 , San Diego, Ca.
  10. Yes it is ! . . . .about 115 miles South of here. You can get one for about $100
  11. It has been kinda windy down here!
  12. Got the BRCC coffee (AK47) in and it is good smooth coffee in K Pods. I think I'm a likeing it!!!
  13. You should have told them you were using their own mags. Give them something to think about for a while.
  14. I have ordered several times from Midway and they have been straight and forward with me.
  15. I ordered a box f BRCC Kpods from Amazon for my shop.
  16. So what you are saying is, we can't use cell phones, bad, bad, pharmaceuticals and our automobiles going astray, to defend our liberty and freedom, but those bad, bad patriots could use their bad, bad, firearms to defend themselves against a despotic and tyrannical Federal or state government ? Right on patriotic guy. . . .
  17. Texas style Nitrous assist!
  18. Quite True! these Mickey Mouse made LR .308s ain't anything like a M14 or M1A, I have both and each shoots well WITH the RIGHT .308 Win or NATO 7.62 rounds , whichever Caliber they are. I like a 145 Gr in the LA.308 and the 168 Match in the M1A N.M. By the way many of us put together a LR308 from a multitude of vendors reminds me of . . . . One Piece at a Time Johnny Cash Well, I left Kentucky back in forty nine An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry 'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black. One day I devised myself a plan That should be the envy of most any man I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand. I'd get it one piece at a time And it wouldn't cost me a dime You'll know it's me when I come through your town I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna drive everybody wild 'Cause I'll have the only one there is around. So…
  19. FF I'm sorry but I couldn't jest let this thread quietly slip by Help needed with feeding problems But when I have a bad day and have feeding problems I am apt to put a nice briskit with some special rub and a couple of tatters and corn on the cob on the GMG and go inside and pop a cap or two, on a cold brewski, that is!😝🎸
  20. Kinda looks like you haven't been spending A LOT of time SURVEYING out in the outdoors, Bro! . . . Well not enough time out surveying!
  21. Damn Right!, BRO!
  22. In the spring of 1960, I had one experience with flip-flops, in USMC boot camp at MCRD in San Diego we were issued rubber shower shoes (Flip-flops) and during a double time to the shower and head a dork behind me got out of step and stepped on my flip flop with the big toe and the one seperated by a rubber strap, pulled the rubber strap dick head thru the sole of the flip- flop out and almost broke both toes! Since then I have never attempted to wear a flip-flop or any footwear with a strap separating my big toes or the one next to it, It just ain't possible to get one on either of my feet! Also it made not wearing socks a NO NO for me.
  23. Yeah, but wearing Flip-Flops? That is a No, No!
