Dad's unit (Sixth Armored) went thru Buchenwald. That was one thing he never would talk about. They had very little consideration for german troops after Malmady, and outright hatred after Buchenwald. The man I knew was a gentle and loving soul. That he could hate the way he did says more that volum...

He can make up exactly what you want. Here's a rig he made for me.

I did notice, he "wasn't" a Marine.

I like the Marlin 1895 GS.

Forgive him. He may be young and inexperienced.

I have a blonde sister. She gets this one in an email. Good thing she lives a couple hundred miles away. It will give her time to cool off. By the way, my kid sister is a phd. Go figure.

Marine sniper! Ain't hardly fair

Heck, I can't even see that far anymore. He must have one heck of a spotter.

Look at either red dots or my favorite holographic line the C-More's. Most have no magnification, and work very well with both eyes open. You don't have to worry about "light gathering" ability. I've used the C-More on by GS for several years now. Needless to say, recoil on this rifle is s...

The English had a song on WWII. "Bless Them All" While irreverant, it was a tribute to their fighting men. Here's a UTube link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXsG2HlC5RI It is a fitting tribute to all of the young men and women who have ever served our natiion, as well. God Bless your son...

A .22 wmr is plenty for 'yotes (been there, done that), so a .44 mag should be plenty. It all has to do with range and where they are hit. Don't need any magic bullet. Just necessary accuracy.

jeepnik

.348 Win. which I believe was also O'Connors pick in his brush busting tests. Hey, wasn't he the fella that thought you could kill anything deader with a .270. Like to see him try that on an irate rhino. Silly goof, thinking a .27 is better than .30. Naturally he'd thing a .34 is better than a .45....

While a 12 gauge is likely better for a variety of reasons (availibility of buckshot for one) if you already have a pump action 20 gauge, is it really enough of a home defense handicap to justify buying a 12er? Nope. Can we argue if water is wet now? Actually, in some physical states, water isn't w...

jeepnik

A 20ga slug or buckshot round "will" kill a deer. Been there and done that in Florida. Gotta figure it will ruin and humans day. And who says you only have to shoot them once. Long time ago, I was taught to shoot and not stop until either the target was down, or the weapon empty. And in th...

As combat troops are want to do, the older boy and his friends came up with a nickname for indiginous personel. During his last visit to Iraq, they were specifically told not to use this name. It seems that some in the press had heard it and thought that it was disparaging of the native population. ...

By timber, I assume you mean tight nasty stuff. Shots will be short and you don't want to have to try and follow a wounded animal in that. Especially the kind that bite back. Voted for the 45-70. It will hit hard and put critters down fast. We're not looking for cross canyon shots, so a big, heavy, ...

Time to sell that one. You'll never get the smell out. Fisrt warm day you leave the windows up....

jeepnik

Very impressive. But as has happened to ISPC, and IDPA, Cowboy Action shooting is now becoming the realm of the gamer. Specially modified equipment costing more than most folks can afford. While I don't know what load he was shooting, based on apparent recoil, it was not a full power load. I'd love ...

AF docs are never reasonable. My best to both boys, they will be in my prayers.

Another thread digressed into pictures of aircraft. So I'll hijack this one for a minute, and show my favorite Tomahawk.

jeepnik

Actually, I already have a Black Widow - although mine's only a NAA. :mrgreen: If I tried for the gennie, my wife'd probably make herself a White Widow, though. :wink: The Black Widow combat aircraft is actually the P-61. Quite a bit bigger than the P-38 Lightning. Was designed as a night fighter. ...

Kim, not to nitpick, but, if it's chambered for the .44 Russian, it isn't a Schofield. It's a S&W Model #3, probably 3rd model. To be a Schofield, it would have to be chambered for the .45 S&W Schofield cartridge.

1978 Ford LTD II, Sports Touring Package. Nine, maybe ten if I keep my foot out of it. 400 cid, 4 barrel carb, slightly massaged.

There's a country song popular now, with a line about "Don't Blink" cause time will pass before you know it. Both boys are grown, and I don't see them near enough. Enjoy him while you can, and "Don't Blink".

If the young man is visiting the training center outside Oceanside, and he doesn't think it's that bad, he should just let the DI know. They will certainly see that it lives up to his expectations. Many moons ago, I had been a cross country runner in school. The first morning in, we were to run abou...

Found a freshly lost tail on my porch this morning. The cat has been busy. Down here, there pretty much active year round. Same for the snakes. Gotta watch where you step when in the hills. We get dogs bit by rattlesnakes year round. But it seems the vacine they have these days helps.

jeepnik

But they make such good pets :wink: Had one that some people released in a local lake. Caused all sorts of unnecessary panic. Closed the lake to use, and tried to catch it for a couple of years. They said hey had to remove it from the lake because it might get sick from urban run off and such. Prett...

The Eagle is and F-15, the F-16 is a Falcon. Spent a number of years around Phantoms. Heck, they could take that kind of damage and fly another sortie after fuel and rearm. Doubt he got canned for it. Pilots push the envelope on training missions so they know how far they can push the aircraft in co...

JR. Both the boys would agree that the Cobra is a beautiful sight. But the oldest was in a bad spot in Afghanistan. Basically below the bad guys and they couldn't get any effective fire on them. A couple of Army Apaches were vectored in. They unloaded on the top of the hill. Problem solved. They pre...

Just reached into the desk and pulled out a pocket size Pickett. Can't believe there was a time I could actually read that thing. Everything is so small and blurry. Got a couple of larger ones in a closet somewhere. Heck, just played with it. I can still remember how to use it. Something never go aw...

Hobie, sounds like you are in the stage of life where kids, wife, house & job crowd in on you. I know it's frustrating, but, trust me, it won't last. In a few years when the kids are grown, you and the wife settle into a routine, and the job isn't pressing so hard, you're actually going to miss ...

Rarely are members of the press combat vets. That explains their complete lack of understanding what takes place in combat. They would rather sit back safely in their armchairs and try too crucify a young warrior, than hold the line. Great news for this young man. My prayers are for the last young m...

I, also use the 45-70. You can load it mild to wild. Plus, you can use black powder. My GS has a holographic sight, so it's got a sorta outa time look to it. Some folks are surprised with that big ole cloud of smoke and sometimes flame shoot out the barrel. Even had a fella tell me once that I could...

Viet Nam as really the first war brought into the living room on a daily basis. The reporting was, shall we say slanted. The current was is the first that the warriors are telling their own story in a timely fashion, with sound and video. While the press may still be "slanting" the news to...

Now why is it that stories like this never make the evening news? I guess heroism is out of favor with the press. At least until one of the press is kidnapped. Then they are crying for some one to help. Typical...

It just ain't fashionable to be proud or patriotic any more, if you want to impress your fellow peers these days you have to show them how far under a rock you can crawl! :evil: Remember all of the flags being flown, and all the "Never Forget" bumper stickers after 911, and the almost una...

Firefly is really just a "westen" in space. Heck, even the firstmate carries a lever gun ala "Wanted Dead Or Alive".

"Actually, Texas and California were the only "Independent Republics" to join the Union. In theory, they can suceed. Probably one hell of a (court) fight, as Texas already tried to do it militarily and lost. Heck, here in California, a small city decided to join Los Angels and the in...

Learned about "fouling" shots as a youngster. As Dad explained it, unless you are using some type of corrosive component, pre-season,sight it in after fouled, leave it that way until the end of season (unless something untoward occurs) then clean it after the season. I haven't pitted a bor...

Joachim, you're a better man than me. I gave up on the V.A. in the mid '70s. The facility was trashed, and the employees were useless. Took months to get an appointment to stand around all day, and then be told I would have to come back on another day. Thankfully, I can afford private medical insura...

Only problem is, he would be a lawyer. Most of them are so liberal, they'd probably sue you for approaching them to file suit.

Heck, the cops and other officials turn a blind eye to the illegals and drugs that get smuggled up here a do all sorts of damage to our citizenry. So some ot them get shot by weapons smuggled down there. Just think of it as one of the provisions of NAFTA.

Montana and California have the same right. It wasn't because they came into the union in a different way. It was because they were all very large states with small populations and it was realized that as they grew in population it might be more practical to sub-divide them for administrative effic...
