Here is the one you want bro. since it is too hot to cook ribs and brisket on the GMG. The one size that fits and cooks all! AMAZON Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock Programmable Slow Cooker and Pressure Cooker with Manual Pressure, Boil & Simmer, I' m saving up my chips to buy one for My wife on the 55th Anniversary as soon as I pay off my ammo bill for the 2K rounds of Remington Thunderbolt , my early 54 th anniversary gift. Tomorrow is that starting date for 55 years, BTW I was told that my last years gift of a Tractor Supply wheelbarrow will be the death of me, if I do sumthin like that again, therefore I think the 2K of .22 LR ammo should be well accepted. Hell she hardly ever wears all the jewelery I bought her years ago. all of you probably will agree?

Ravenworks, are you sure that quote "Well 35 years ago as a Marine we just drew down and shot your azz." wasn't that just that old South American Mary Jane influence working at the time?, , , . .and who's asses were you shooting back in 1984? I bought a dozen of the 1907 leather slings from CMP back before our slingmaster Beaching Slings guy was even born and they sent Me another dozen slings to be used on our CMP loaner M14 National Match rifles assigned to our rifle club for Junior NRA 4-H shooting program in the mid 1970s and just gave the last one away to a M1A owner for his new loaded M1A. I use Beaching slings on my M1A and Ruger Mini 14 and DPMS LR308, you can't beat them, and if any Marine just don't use a sling, it ain't because he wasn't trained to use the sling back in my day as a brown shoe Marine Recruit at MCRD. Sling use is a big part of Rifle Marksmanship Training, IMHO

Bob was sitting on the plane,waiting to fly to Detroit, when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck; pale, hands shaking, obviously in fear. "What's the matter," Bob asked, "flying bother you?" "No. I've been transferred to Detroit. I've heard things are terrible there. They've got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate in the nation." Bob replied, "I've lived in Detroit all my life. It's not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, and enroll your kids in a nice private school. It's as safe a place as you want to make it." The guy relaxed and stopped shaking, and said, "Oh, thank you. I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?" "I'm tail gunner on a Budweiser truck."

They come up with a new improved model every once in a while my newest rechargeable is best but it does not have a removable battery, so it is out of service while being r recharged My other ones have extra batteries so you can change (mags ie.. batteries) an keep on grinding.

Small framed and need to start concealed carrying.

I also have a LCPII Ruger .380 with a red laser: . . . .That I carry in a front pocket in a pocket holster, the holster is really inexpensive on Amazon, it does not have any loops ect, it does break up the profile so it does not show in even thin pockets. It is my backup standing or sitting down.. -

My wife has carried an old hammerless Colt model 1908 .32 ACP for 40 years. She has a special leather purse: Purse King Magnum Concealed Carry Handbag ( not unusual for a lady that is 5'2" and weighs less than 120 lbs.) with a concealed pocket in the back of the purse. She also has an Alien Cloak Tuck IWB Holster (Inside the Waistband) she wears with jeans and pant suits. basically it is a smaller version of the Alien IWB I use for my .40 caliber S&W. -
I got a lot of dental burrs from a dentist friend, they have a smaller shaft than a standard Dremel tool chuck. I have and used several Dremel tools in my gun shop. I have a dremel drill press, and a couple of Rt. angle drives they are a most used tool for me. I put several Dremel cut off discs stacked together to cut sight dove tail square bottom slots using the Dremel drill press often with a Rt. angle drive while holding the barrel in a vise, and then do the taper with a small 3 corner file, with one smooth side. Just be careful and go slow, measuring and checking the fit of the sight often. I use a Roto Zip to cut outlet holes in metal siding, sheetrock and paneling for outlets and switches. Living out in the boonies folks have to do most of their electrical, and plumbing projects. The Roto Zip is also handy in the gun shop, a tad more powerful than a Dremel. A gunsmith must have several sets of good quality metal files. I also like the diamond grit files and rotary cutting bits. I have always wished I had a Smithy Granite 3 in one, Turn, drill, and mill machine but have always found a way to do a lot of jobs without one. Now I think I am too old to get into that, seems there would be too much I need to learn.

What do you have on order or in the mail? Part 2
mrmackc replied to imschur's topic in General Discussion
Well DNP, I could have deserved killing a couple of times in the 54 years, and crazy old me, I even taught her to shoot and drug her off to the NRA Whittington Ranch in Raton back in 1977 and she came out a NRA Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun Instructor. She is deadly with her old Model 1908 Colt 32ACP. -

Wow, I just spent a hour looking up parts for my wife's Poulan Pro walk behind mower. I got a good deal, bought it almost new, The parts should get here in a couple of days ala USPS and RFD. It got where the battery wouldn't hold a charge so I took it in the shop cleaned it up of spider webs and durt. . Found the parts I need on Amazon, Surprised me too ordered a new battery $21, a new primer bulb and air cleaner, spark plug. After all I can't afford to get up and keep running outside and start the engine every time she let's go of the safety bar that kills the engine. I mean after all I bought her a nice self-propelled electric start 22" mower, so she wouldn't have to quit mowing before this only acre and a half gets over a beer can high. I think she really appreciates me doing stuff for her, anyhow she has stayed with me for 54 years thru thick and thin and 4 kids all grown and have kids of their own now. I reckon I am a lucky old codger, after all. Praise the Lord. -
ARMOR-ALLs ? Like: I OKAY got it!. . . I once ArmorAlled the seat of my Cessna and had a hard time applying the toe brakes, taxied off into the grass.

These do look like adequate Iron Back Up Sights..... Yes, All of us Marines did and do qualify out to 500 Yds. with Iron sights, most do so in Boot camp at the age of 17 to a few as old as I was (22 years old I turned 23 during my 2nd week in MCRD, after college, back in 1960) after 30 or so years later many have eyesight not quite so good. I still can see thru iron sights out to about 300 Yards on a nice sunny day. However, I may not be the everyday normal old guy, My problem isn't just vision but mainly mobility. Optics are the chosen sights for Marine, Army, Navy and Air Force Sniper teams. Just thought I should even up the subject at hand....Shooting with a rifle. **** BTW I forgot to say Marines at the Boot Camp practice, Pre-Quals and Qual day have a crew in the butts Marking and scoring their targets so that the shooters can see where they hit the targets with their neck-id eyes at the 200, 300 and 500 yard lines.

Yeah or just leave it hooked to the prime mover for sleeping, you can't beat that price for any kind of a trailer larger than a lawn cart. Travel trailer leveling jacks (aluminum are not that expensive either. $45 at Amazon, for 4 of them. these are handy for other things too.
