Tutt I read about the 88s safety issue several years ago on the web... It was mentioned by Mic in a general way in an article of his about the 88 but didn't detail the circumstance as you have. IIRC I mentioned his article to you here a few years back. Last year as I was purging a bunch of gun magaz...

Saw a thing on TV about animal communication years ago...where the family told the story of their little dog's last night... It was old and decrepit but this night it bounded down stairs as if it were a young dog again... It ran around the living room dodging about then jumped up on the wife's lap (...

Long time NRA life member here...Now days my RIFLEMAN magazines usually get about ten minutes of my attention before they're in the recycle bin... Maybe it's because they are so thin & undersized there's no room for anything but commercially viable content...

Ben_Rumson

Get one of these...http://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-AMERICAN-RIFLEMAN-MAGAZINES-in-NRA-BINDER-LOT-of-12-/131473723534?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e9c71d08e You can get yourself quite a nice general firearms an education if you purchase one lot each from the 50s, 60s & 70s. You may also learn...

Beating the guys with the Ruger Old Army revolvers with my cheap Italian 1858 New Army replica was always fun too

When I shoot at ranges with benches, I pile as much stuff up as required to sit straght backed as I can.

I have a Kowa camera made in the 60s that always took razor sharp photos.

Ben_Rumson

I could not convince a co-worker that the FMJ ammo that came with the M1 carbine he barrowed for pig hunting was a bad choice ... He argued it was a good choice because he had killed two with one shot using it... Sheese!...through and through on piggy #1 into piggy #2 behind him. Whatta-ya-gonna-do!?

Ben_Rumson

Blue Steel & Walnut .... Very Nice!

At the place I worked at back in the day when Star Trek was on TV as a new TV show, you fell into one of two groups: Square or Cool...Squares liked a TV Sy Fi show that came on at the same time on another channel as Star Trek,The lamest of the lame: "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea", Starr...

Ben_Rumson

Yep looks like the place is turning into Amerika... Here in Kalifornia, last I checked, a flinter wasn't even considered a firearm...

Ben_Rumson

No No No... Dudes... Don't be so literal... Use your humor imagination...The suggestion was to imagine caps the size to fit that pistol's nipples... How would one seat a cap so huge? Imagine a tin of 100..Lets have some fun wit it.

Ben_Rumson

Just think about capping that sucker

Where did he find caps

??? ..

Ben_Rumson

A Bic lighter will give a nice dull glare free soot coating on the sights... Do it someplace where a breeze wont blow the flame around.. The soot rubs off easy... So keep checking it hasn't been accidently rubbed off. Shooting under shade works perfect if the weather doesn't cooperate with overcast....

Ben_Rumson

Thanks... Very interesting info

Ben_Rumson

I agree the STG44 is cool looking and was a revolutionary weapon. But as I've said @ 11.3 lbs is not a handy weapon. Has anyone noticed anywhere that it out weighs the 9.5 lb M1 Garand battle rifle by about 2lbs? Even unloaded!!. From Wikipedia: "Most authorities list the effective combat range...

Ben_Rumson

You'd be right...But not too far apart..

Ben_Rumson

jd45 Hey Ben, I have an idea why he chose something other than an M-1 Carbine...........cause it's no good as a man stopper. jd45 Where'd you get that idea? @ 100 yds it'll put a hole through a WWII GI helmet and the well known man stopping 45 acp wont... even out of the longer barreled M1A1 Thomps...

Ben_Rumson

Didn't make any sense to me why he would favor a bigger heavier weapon than a handy and more plentiful M1 carbine that has the same effective range and for which he could get all the ammo and mags he would ever want... Cool though that someone was trying to make him more savvy. I really doubt produc...

Ben_Rumson

That lock was a flintlock originally and its been converted to caplock. Here's comparable example http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=466981392 On both notice just below the bolster the change in color of the metal. That is where the F/L brass pan was ground down flush with the steel...

I bet we couldn't find milk crates full of parts the way we used to. And I bet I couldn't afford them if I found them! So true... The chopper craze messed up a lot of neat old survivors but gave us milk crates full of goodies!!..That breakfast run would have been a fun ride... I especially like the...

Ben_Rumson

Well she had humble beginnings...

JIM'S WL 002.jpg

It's a 47 flathead 45 ci... First bike I learned to ride on too...Spent about 10 years collecting the parts & pieces...Grizz ..Lot of "fun" finding all the right original parts...My little around town put put..

Ben_Rumson

Sheesh! Definitely not your stock 66 Electra Glide! Disc brakes too! Well done

Ben_Rumson

She's wasting away in storage...

Ben_Rumson

I realized I needed a scope not long after I got hairy palms....

Ben_Rumson

I too always enjoy Nath's posts....Nath has proven time & again all his fun can be had with one or two guns and man's best friend... Mite even be had with one gun...a smoothbore .... mans other best friend....

Ben_Rumson

I place a little fan like the kind found in the power supply of older computers next to the pot to pull away the fumes.. The fan is rigged with ducting hose ( that silver stuff ) like the kind found cars that I run out the window...
Good luck

Ben_Rumson

That'll go nicely with my bike that should clean up OK

I guess Twain thought people behavior was funnier than monkey behavior...

Latest version Ruger Single Six ... Bad drag marks on the cylinder inside of a half a box...Leads terribly too... To hell with buying something new and having to send it back.. Then sending to a smith to have the forcing cone angle changed to make it shoot right..No more new stuff for me..

Ben_Rumson

He about cornered the market on old Sharps rifles...

Ben_Rumson

FWIW I've seen flame cutting from BP in steel frame 58s at the barrel/cylinder gap in the adjacent top strap.

Indelibly,Yesterday December 7th, I saw the Battleship Arizona blow up like I had never seen before.... This was because Hi Definition Digital footage was recently rendered from the original print (resides in the National Archives)that was made that fateful day... Stop frame and SloMo revealed aston...

Ben_Rumson

More gun than needed.... cal 30-30 didn't need fixing... Most didn't need the 405

Ben_Rumson

Hooo Weee! You done good!

Ben_Rumson

Nice... You will well set up for the matches when you get her like you like her...I think you'll have to go a long way to find a smoother BA rifle..

Ben_Rumson

Well done! Happy chompin'

Ben_Rumson

I had never really shot a truly inherently accurate rifle until I got my hands on a M96 Swede... ...I never knew how accurate an open sighted rifle could be shot as well....First time out from the bench I shot a 5 shot 1&1/8" 100yd group with PMC 140gr & thought how am I gonna top that!...

Ben_Rumson

Great pics...Reminded me of this...."There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold.
The arctic trails have their secret tales".......
