  1. I wanted to keep the posting on a high level so I didn't recommend any anti-friction stuff like "spit on it again!"
  2. Call Faxon and get instructions on sending the barrel back for revaluation. You are just burning daylight.
  3. Maybe a pay email address is like the one I got from my DSL internet provider, only way we have out here in the boonies. The local telephone company hooks you up and adds it to your landline phone bill. I never have owned a Sig, nor a Glock but wish I had bought a .40 Sig instead of the EAA Witness. I like the CZ pistols but the Witness has poor QC in Italy where they are made.
  4. We didn't have any of that training aids or stuff. We just knew to yell "Corp-man!"....
  5. I had a platoon officer (1st Lt. White) a mustang, like that. "Kill all of them, God will sort out the gooduns from the baduns."
  6. If it slides, rolls, rubs, rocks, or throbs, lube it. If it is flesh to flesh, flesh to latex, metal to metal, lubrication makes it feel smoother and is less wear on sensitive parts. That is my two cents worth!
  7. Well boys, here is how we do it. We put out a lot of salt blocks around the deer feaders, and also salt down the corn in the feeder and set up a blind at the windmill fed stock tank. And when a big doe sucks up a couple of gallons of water, shoot her in the belly with a tranquilizer arrow and quickly cautherize her. And then stick her foot in a bucket of warm water and when she cuts loose catch about two gallons of stinking deer piss in a bucket. The pee works better during the deer s period.
  8. All I can say is I don't skinny dip anymore because I don't want to get my large caliber revolver wet. I found out a long time ago that I must just stand and shoot because I couldn't out run a fat bulldog.
  9. No I haven't had a Mossberg since I rebuilt an old police pump and sold it to a cop friend. Mine are Ithaca, Winchester, Savage, Remington and Franchi (that Italian brand.) I hardly ever sell stuff I like shooting. I'll probably be keeping all of them until my toes are pointed up and they cover me up with Texas dirt
  10. I think you have more problems than a bad inst. Cluster.
  11. I absolutely luv it!
  12. We have a new gunshop and firing range that went in about 25 miles from here. I may consign some for sale. I really don't have a need of 8 shotguns, really never did, but I made several good trades.
  13. We had a family of field mice move in to the utility room and pantry while I was in rehab. I am using D-con and traps. Also had ants invade , Ortho Defender worked on them, the ants were eating the meecees in the traps, DUHHH!
  14. My wife is really concerned about she should do with my firearms collection (28 rifles, pistols and shotguns) an my collection of ammo, tools etc., etc. She don't think our kids should have them, she thinks..."They would probably sell it off for pennies on the dollar". The ones that shoot have plenty already. Go thru a gun shop?, use an auctioneer?, place adds in gun magazines? or web sites? Trust some friend or relative? I would like to see your views and opinions on this
  15. By no means am I anything but a novice on the AR platform. My assumption is that the spring loaded tiny detent pin's sole function is to retain the buffer and spring captive while the upper is tilted up when the rear assembly pin is pulled to tilt the upper to service the BCG Why not remove the detent and slide the upper back on the lower and push the buffer and spring into the receiver buffer tube, and insert the assembly pins as they line up? Would it be possible to have a path up thru the lower,so that a slave rod could be inserted to hold the buffer and spring in full rearward position,then remove the rod after assembling and pinning the upper and lower? I know it isn't easy but it may be possible.
  16. Pretty eyes!.....eh?
  17. I must just be too dense to understand "cut a hole in the box." DUUUUHHHH!
  18. Wonderful pictures, of some wonderful aircraft! FIFI looks as good or even better than when I first saw her in Midland at CAF headquarters where I was a CAF Col. back in the 1980s thru 2005 when we moved to Lake Proctor full time. It is good to see her with "Doc" I am glad you got to go to the Holy Grail of all air shows. It is a life changing event! Yeah, the Confederate Air Force changed it's name to 'yucky old Commemorative" , after it became a worldly organization, and more "politically correct" Yankee moneyed folks had the control of the board of directors. Money is the motivating force now.
  19. When I bought my DPMS Oracle.308 in 2014 from a local gun dealer I asked him to install a front sling swivel, he pulled the Hand guard and screwed in a QD swivel base and put the hand guards back on in 5 minutes and didn't charge me. If you will check out BeachinTactical, he is a sponser on this site. He makes a very neat custom sling. I have two of them. I agree, you should get the rifle in your hands, lube it up, scope it boresight it, go to the range shoot 40 or 50 rounds get familiar with the piece. ..... Clean it,.....next thing, get a Velocity trigger, a Tubbs flat wire buffer spring and see how much of a accurate shooter it makes you. Come back here and tell us your thoughts.
  20. Don't ever wear shorts around these guys
  21. Tastes kinda like a tuna taco with natural juices.
  22. Welcome from another Texan, in Central Texas
  23. The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a saloon and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said "Who owns the big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and said, "I do....Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you’d like to know that your horse is about dead outside!" The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said,"Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better. Tonto said, "Sure, Kemosabe" and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the saloon to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks,"Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, "I do, what's wrong with him this time?" (..I JUST LOVE THIS PART..) "Nothing, but you left your injun runnin!"
  24. It is like nothing being heard at all!
