While I love many of his films and understand that he's reportedly a swell guy, what gets me is what great shape he's in. He's a year older than my Dad who was a very stout man in his day but my Dad has lost most of his muscle mass and is, well, pretty much a very active and healthy but skinny old m...

Great video but it makes me sad when it reminds me how our gun loving friends in Oz suffer under their legal restrictions. That fool in England today proved very well I think that lawmakers are useless.

Well it's been posted on many major news outlets and I've seen multiple photographs of it from multiple angles so at this juncture I no longer feel the need to suspect it as a fraud. My favorite photograph of it was taken at a much lower angle and had a fellow laying on his belly peering over the ed...

Just got one of those myself, the price couldn't be beat and when they added $5 shipping I was a goner. Check yours for all of the standard Pietta ills. Mine was peening the cylinder bolt notches pretty strongly. Also, the red dye in the grips flushes out pretty easily (mine weren't lacquered, they ...

Well the thread has drifted a bit (and being from Arizona you can bet I've plenty to say about some of the drift...) but let me tell you all this: Soda bottles are dangerous pretty much every day in/day out. My brother lost an eye to a plastic soda bottle that had somehow gotten or become over-press...

When I was growing up in farm country my mom had a Maytag automatic but many of our neighbors and my best buddy's mom had wringer models. I seem to recall that some of them were so old that they did not have any "safety" feature on the wringers and they'd hurt you but good if you got caugh...

Welcome from Old Tucson good sir!

Now if you'll please, MORE PICTURES!!!

olyinaz

Well, I was wavering on this one but you've convinced me. We'll see it next weekend for sure.

P.S. Let me add that if you liked this movie you'll probably also like Gladiator from the same folks. It really was a good film in my opinion.

Sheesh, what a *#&*$&(@!

Good riddance,

Heck, I've seen one two different times where I hunt near Ft. Hood, TX. One of them was a black one, which aren't supposed to exist. There are black jaguars, but there aren't supposed to be any black mountain lions. It is highly unlikely that there are jaguars that far north, although it's possible...

Introduced in 1981, replaced M66. Not much more I know about them other than, as with all modern German made genuine Mausers, it was a high quality and expensive weapon. I seem to recall seeing them at both shops I worked at back in 80's but I was more interested in Steyers at the time so I didn't p...

I feel ya - I travel for a living and my wife is school teacher. 'Twixt the two us we seem to find a way to catch anything/everything that's out there!

Hope you feel better,
Oly

P.S. Or how about "hunt you down like a dog"? Huh? Who the heck hunts dogs?

olyinaz

Well any snake bit is nasty and prone to infection (get it looked at ASAP) but I agree with the OP that non-venomous snakes are fantastic vermin predators.

Rattlers get the boot around my house (I've got kids) but other snakes are big friends of ours.

Lovely rifle!

When they did mine they also checked out my stomach from the top as well.

Yep, they did that to me as well. Thank God I was good to go up top. Esophageal cancer is a bad ride I don't want to experience.

Regarding the tail, Sigourney Weaver's line was classic, "Don't play with that or you'll go blind."

Well I'm really glad to hear that some of you "get it" (the whole prevention thing) and I'm also glad that a few of you are "saves" (to use a term in my biz) like I am now. Honestly, not much more one can say about it than IT'S A WIN. >>FYI - when screening colonoscopies were NOT...

olyinaz

So let's just say it: who the heck wants to talk about or even consider a doggone colonoscopy? NO ONE. OK, we've got that out of the way now and if you'll give me several seconds I'd like to regale you with a true tale. I have a family history of GI problems mostly having to do with GERD (fancy way ...

Well that's a good point!

I'm amazed at how popular these trail cams have become. Technology marches on!

That is sure a nice looking buck - hope your girl gets a chance at 'im.

I'm sure it's Photoshoped, but it's still a funny bit.

That was wonderful Doc. I've got a good friend that lives just down the road in St. Johns and I'm going to send him the link to this.

Thanks,

Nobody has mentioned them yet so I'll throw out a shout for Para Ordinance. They're built in The States now (Springfield and older Paras are not) and many folks like them. I've got a double stack in stainless and it's been good. Same goes for Kimber - I've got an Eclipse Target II and it's been utte...

Thank you Steve!!

Question: I found that chamber iron at Brownell's that Steve mentioned but it's listed for simply ".22". Isn't the .22 Mag slightly larger than a .22 LR? Does anyone know if that tool will work with .22 WMR chambers?

Thanks,
Oly

It's still leaking oil to this day.

Unforgiven is my all time favorite. What a great film.

I just watched Gran Torino yesterday and it's darn good too!

Great find!

Well, I modified the ejector rod housing in order to get some more stroke (photos below) and now it'll clear the cases out of the cylinder so that'll mostly solve the problem but Steve was absolutely right on - the chambers are all peened a bit from fools dry firing a rim fire pistol. Not much, but ...

olyinaz

Hey thanks guys. Steve, that is an outstanding point and I'll give that a good look. As far as the ejector rod is concerned it doesn't even come all the way back to the base pin due to the cut in the housing stopping short. I think I can easily mod it to get another 1/8th inch of stroke which should...

olyinaz

Hey guys, I've got a new single action revolver in .22 mag that is giving me greif with sticky ejection of the empties. Any suggestions? I've already lightly polished the chambers but it didn't help much. The ejector rod doesn't quit clear the empties out of the cylinder with .22 mags. If it did it'...

Remingto 700 ADL in .22-250 when I was 17 because I needed money for a car. Still regret it! Smith & Wesson .41 Mag when I was in college because I needed money...probably for beer - chaps my hide just to think about it! Ruger Redhawk and Randall Model 5 with a stag handle at the same time - grr...

olyinaz

I like mine quite a bit. They're incredibly smooth shooting given how much power is behind that round.

There is a Yugo rifle, similar in most respects, that's chambered for 8mm Mauser. I'd like one of those as well.

Oly

Hang in there and get better!

I could be wrong, but that Callahan model looks to have an 1860 style grip frame. I look forward to seeing one in the steel.

Oly

I'm very interested to hear the follow up on this. Best of luck to you!

Look at the flow coming out of those engine bells! It's amazing to consider the flow rate that the turbo pumps needed to be able to accomplish in order to feed those engines. I've seen the pumps on display and they're just HUGE.

Great stuff.

And please, it's, "You gonna skin that smoke wagon or just stand there and bleed?"

My favorite movie line of all time.

I like Krags. Mine are both Norwegians but if I could find a nice U.S. Krag (at a reasonable price) I'd buy it.

The CMP Garands going out now are mostly late vintage and in very good shape. Honestly, I just can't see spending $429 on what's turning out to be mostly junk when a good serviceable rifle from the CMP is $600.

It seems pretty one sided to me in the morality dept. Which just goes to show that how things "seem" is often times not how they really are. Reference General Nathan Bedford Forrest for example... At any rate, the point of my OP on this fine Sunday was simply that I liked that bit on Ston...

Star Trek meets Little Big Man?

LOL.

That's actually pretty much it. Or maybe "Star Wars meets Dances With Wolves".

At any rate, it looks real good in HD and is just flat out a great sci-fi movie.

I watched Avatar on Blu-Ray with the family tonight and I was, again, mightily impressed with the performance of Stephen Lang as the mercenary Colonel. What I did not know until I Googled the man and looked at his past roles was that he portrayed Stonewall Jackson in the excellent film Gods and Gene...

>>>If I shoot it a lot I get bit on the thumb web.<<< My 1914 does that too. Enough that I don't shoot it much despite it being accurate, solid and really a smooth runner. It's funny because I used to scoff at beavertail safeties until I got an M1911 (no "A1") type pistol. Suddenly it all ...
