Sharpshooter

Welcome from Arkansas. And, as stated above, pics please!

Makes my mouth water!

Thanks. Good to find out what really happened.

I don't want to pile on, but ^^^^ what he said!

I will - if I pick the ticks off her, can I keep her? That works in Arkansas. well, that might work for a bunch of different Arkansas folks, but it won't work for me. By the way, did I mention that my lady (35+ years) is the best backup person I could ever find? Brother, if I go down I assure you there will be others who follow me into Valhalla!

Ah, been there, done that! Can we go get a beer now?

Brother, I understand. I went through 3 crazy-as-fornicate women before i finally found one who was sane! (well, your definition of sane may vary from mine, but that's the way it goes.). This one is a gen-u-wine keeper. She covers my back and God help you if you come at me. 😍

No, brother! I've "investigated" several of those blonde (redhead? brunette?) specimens and that's dangerous as hell! So if you come up with one that you think might be sane, think: if shes's sane, why would she be with me?

Welcome from Arkansas

Damn, made me spew beer out of my nose!

That's a search that's occupied generations, man. I've heard that unicorns are more frequently found. Oh, wait! Those blondes you're looking for are usually riding on those unicorns! Wow! Lucky you! BTW, I was married to one of those gorgeous fukking insane blondes once. Brother, I've got you're back if you ever need to distance yourself from another one. But, redheads? Dude, you're on your own!

No shiit!

Yeah, but I bet they didn't have any trouble at all getting it down after that first shot!

Government may have the POWER to do something, but it doesn't mean they have the RIGHT to do it. And on such things are problems borne.

Yeah, so I've got one too who deserves his own father's day greeting. I don't want to say he's earned his shiit, but check out the grey in his beard. Proud of my kid!

Yo, 98! I had a cat that was given to me because he was born on the same day my son was born. The cat was the runt of the litter, and supposedly was sired by a wildcat (yes, the long eared tufted variety) and a mostly-siamese momma cat. He grew into a 27 pound tomcat. He hated every animal that walked, crawled, or flew into his domain. But, God knows why, he loved every human he came into contact with. Lots of fun stories about him and the 120 pound german shepherd I had, but of the two of them, I miss the cat most.

@Beaglepopz, you asked for the signs of failure with your current setup. Signs of failure would be: 1. Misfitting parts, so much so that the gun can't work. A mag that won't seat or remain in the rifle would be one example. 2. Failure to feed, either first round or any subsequent round. Lots of different reasons why this could happen. 3. Failure to fire a fed round. Again, lot of different reasons why this could happen. 4. Failure to eject a fired round. You guessed it, lot of different reasons why this could happen. 5. Failure to lock bolt open after last round in the magazine is fired. Lots of different reasons, yada yada yada. Rather than tell us what you've got and ask what possibly could go wrong (that's a very long list), why don't you tell us what the problem is?

Shiit bro, are you certain you don't want to open a parts store?

What were the repairs? ^^^^ That's a state secret!

Welcome from Arkansas. You've already seen that this is a great place for info. I think you'll find it's a great place for people too.

You say it functions. I'd say if it's feeding, firing, and ejecting reliably then run it. If it's not, then what's the problem?

@justinsv123, click on Waterboarding. This is a step-by-step way to get the info people are going to need to help you.

My business uses USPS. In the last year or so, I've thought they ought to rename themselves the USPE—the United States Pony Express. I mean, the delivery is slow and it seems to be subject to hijack from "Indians." Wish I could change shippers, but that's not an option. 😒

Okay, I've apparently been away for too long. WTF does "the sister car to an eclipse" mean? I'm used to handloading speer 200 gr. hollowpoints in front of 5.2 gr. of Bullseye (yes, it's an overload and I'm aware of that) but it works really well for me.

Aww, poor guy! Drink your Ovaltine (or whatever) to brace yourself for the coming ordeal. Or, in other words, have fun brother!
