This guy is dead now but I didn't kill him. He went on the Gravey Train dog food diet and it contributed to his death, he was laying in the street licking his dick when a truck ran over him. Ha!

Back in the day our equipment operators used a large bench grinder with a wire wheel to polish rust off of oilfield bullet perforating guns and sometimes would get steel particles and wire pieces in their eye. We had a large electromagnet to magna-flux well casing. I would slip it over the guy's head and flip the switch on and off you could hear the metal hit the magnet and that almost always cleared up the eye problem. An eye wash completed the treatment.

One thing to remember is that a lot, probably a majority of folks that show up on forums are looking to get a problem solved, most that have well functioning rifles just don't bother to say that every thing is okay. If you already have the piece lube it up and do the break in and then you will know for yourself good, bad or ugly.

Here is what I found: U.S. military[edit] The Cavalrymen's Poem, also entitled "Fiddlers' Green" was published in the U.S. Army's Cavalry Journal in 1923 and became associated with the 1st Cavalry Division.[9] The name has had other military uses. Many places associated with the U.S. Military have been named Fiddler's Green: The U.S. Marine Corps operates Firebase Fiddler's Green in the heart of the Helmand River Valley, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. An artillery Fire Support Base in Military Region III in Vietnam in 1972, occupied principally by elements of 2nd Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry The U.S. Navy's enlisted men's club in Sasebo, Japan from 1952 to 1976 The cavalryman's poem about Fiddler's Green is the regimental poem of the US 2nd Cavalry Regiment. The enlisted men's club at Bainbridge Naval Training Center An informal bar at the Fort Sill Officers' Open Mess The stable and pasture used by Parsons Mounted Cavalry, a cadet group at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas A bar at the Saber & Quill in Fort Knox, Kentucky The larger of the two bars at the Leader's Club at Fort Benning, Georgia Building 2805 at Fort Hood, Texas, the former Officers Club A small E-club on the U.S. Marine Corps' Camp Pendleton in area 43 (Las Pulgas) The base pub at the Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos, CA Former dining facility used by 2nd Cavalry Regiment at Fort Polk, LA An artillery only pub for the 10th Marine Regiment, Camp Lejeune, NC Now we have had our military trivial historical and Poetry class for today, enjoy!

Any of you old dog faces mechanized ever heard or seen this poem? Fiddlers Green, Halfway down the trail to Hell in a shady meadow green, are the Souls of all dead troopers camped near a good old-fashion canteen, and this eternal resting place is known as Fiddlers' Green. Marching past, straight through to Hell, the Infantry are seen, accompanied by the Engineers, Artillery and Marine, for none but the shades of Cavalrymen dismount at Fiddlers' Green. Though some go curving down the trail to seek a warmer scene, no trooper ever gets to Hell ere he's emptied his canteen and so rides back to drink again with friends at Fiddlers' Green. And so when man and horse go down beneath a saber keen, or in a roaring charge fierce melee you stop a bullet clean, and the hostiles come to get your scalp, just empty your canteen and put your pistol to your head and go to Fiddlers' Green.

Staying away from the VA for corrective surgery may save you a lot of pain. My son messed up his back (several vertebra) was med evacuated to Germany from Faluga Iraq, then to Ft. Hood where the Army did surgery and Med discharged him he suffered three years with unbelievable pain. VA gave him opiates, then pain management classes, then anger management classes. Finally got to see a civilian doctor Xrays showed all the metal rods screws etc. Was pulled out of bone and floating around. The civilian doctor cut him open front and back took out the Army junk iron, redid it all and he was 18 months recovering.

No problem here either Firefox on Dell desktop or Silk (Amazon Fire HD). What I do is when I get logged in on the Activity page (Unread content) I bookmark that page then just go directly to that bookmarked page, and don't have to login.

Building the flamethrower isn't the hard part nor the ignition for the nozzle, what was hard for me was getting the fuel to gel like napalm. What have you done along this problem? Kerosene, diesel, or gasoline? I've used powdered sugar in unleaded.

Matt that is a sequel to "The healing preacher in Detroit" I hadn't heard before.... good one!!

I have two of Jacob's slings, a black two point on my LR308 and a desert tan two point on my N.M. M1A. I replaced the m1907 GI leather sling, except for competition. Probably will put the tan one on my Mini 14 .223 carbine.

Once upon a time, I ordered some high-dollar cartridge case resizing lube from Herters. 4ounces was $5. I had been helping one of our chemist evaluating a new oil used in a wireline grease pressure unit. We were testing some Texaco products. One was 140 wt. Multi purpose gear lube. My new case lube smelled, looked and poured exactly like the 140 wt. Had the chemist run a comparison yes and guess what? Well the $5 per 4oz. stuff actually was Texaco 140 wt. $12 per 5 gallon gear grease. The Lucas gun oil may be the same way. I use 140 wt. for a lot of lube problems, it works just as well as some very high dollar stuff.

My 91 year old widowed Cuz is at her 70 year old daughters house, no electricity, but they are dry, so far after the rain stops the water has been draining down to street level. They are using their cars to keep their I Phones charged (both are on Facebook).

Have been there did that. Shooting rapid fire with a 1911 Govt mod.45 APC. Squib round stopped half way in barrel next round a lead semi-wadcutter blew stuck round out, the barrel swelled and jammed slide back. Had to hammer the slide off. Only changed the barrel, tough old pistol. I was just joking about getting hung with a new rope, I feel your pain about sorry ammo. hope you are staying dry. I have a cuz or two in Pasadena and in Deer Park.

GRA, sounds like you would complain if you were hung with a new rope!

We are almost in the center of Texas, 120 miles SW of DFW and we have only had about 1.5 " of rain. It has been cloudy and in the upper 70s, this morning sunny. The outer ring of the storm is 120 miles SE of us down around Fort Hood. Many of our power workers are helping out.

We call those pear burners here in Texas ranchers use them to burn prickly pear cactus.

Training for sailors on our warships is being conducted at a good rate, my grandson was on the Halsey until he was sent stateside for classroom training which should get him another promotion. Maybe it is like Drivers Ed. How to drive safely, but not how to avoid a drunk driver Maybe they need to have"Dodge Ball" training.

I had that happen to my old M1 Shark rifle a couple of years ago. I didn't call my insurance agent, just suffered my loss.

I am right with you on the M14 forum. And here on 308AR, feels like home

Young drivers don't know how to drive stick shifts or things without automatic emergency braking? "Sir !, Don't say Starboard or Port....dammit just say Right turn....or Left turn !
