http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/08/16/ny-police-seize-veterans-guns-after-order-deems-him-wrongfully-as-mentally-defective.html Don Hall and his girlfriend were sitting in their living room earlier this year when they noticed police lights flashing outside the couple’s upstate New York home. When the 70-year-old Army veteran greeted Oneida County sheriff’s deputies he was given a document saying that Hall had to hand over his six guns – four long guns and two pistols -- to law enforcement because he had been deemed “mentally defective.” The so-called SAFE Act, which was implemented in 2013 in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut, includes a provision that allows heath care providers to report patients that they think may be a risk to themselves or others. In Hall’s case, however, the sheriff’s deputies were wrong. He hadn’t triggered an order under the SAFE Act. Read more.

They usually crane it on a flatbed and haul it to a hangar for inspection and assessment. Then they will either repair it or strip it for parts and scrap the rest. I have seen an A10 belly in once before and actually fly once again. Amazing aircraft.

I worked on these off and on for 10 years and it's a testament to the durability of these wonderful birds. I retired in 92.

Yes...a 1956 JC Higgins .22 Single Shot Model 103 I think. My Dad bought it for me for my 7th birthday from Sears & Roebuck.It was and still is an amazingly accurate little rifle.

Well don't be a stranger.....Christmas is just around the corner.

This should be fun......

I really like it as well. The more I learn about it the more I intend to do. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks so much...glad you like it.

Left Handed Walnut Burl handles...small but cool mosaic pins and a lanyard hole. It has a bit of jimping and is differentially heat treated to obtain the hamon on the blade.

Congratulations!

People like her is the reason Trump ran roughshod over all the Republican do nothings in the primary. The Republicans are never going to learn.

Welcome to TGO.

Now you have my interest....that's some first class lookin' leather you have there.

Well I do like the look of it...just not the price. I'm sure it will sell though.

These two bullets were found after the Battle of Gallipoli which started in 1915 and ended in 1916 during WWI. The allies consisted of British, French, Australia and New Zealand against a fierce Turkish Army. In the end, the allied side lost 46,000 troops while the Turkish lost 65,000, with the Allies retreating from the battle. The Turks still consider their victory at Gallipoli to be a great, defining moment in the nation’s modern history. Eight years later, the Turkish War of Independence broke out, led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk was a commander at the battle of Gallipoli. The battle was also Australia and New Zealand’s first military campaign as independent dominions in the British Empire. It was a formative moment in the national consciousness of both countries.

I remember old arguments on gun forums about guns and supporters of a certain weapon would site "the book" and detractors of the weapon would throw pictures of "the book" around like this.
