Then if you have a collection of don't shoots buy the rifle and add it to your No Shoot Collection....................

I should know something in the next day or two. I try to unload my magazines at least once a month to unload the mag springs and give them a rest and it got to where it was wearing hard on my thumb to do that and that is why I really wanted this tool. I know that is a topic that has been discussed on here a few times but I just think it keeps the springs holding their proper pressure when loaded. That is just a decision I do for my own peace of mind.

Yea and they are trying to figure out more charges to apply to him. Lawyers in Nashville have already stepped up and volunteered to represent him for free and one of the restaurants here in Nashville has offered to pay all his fines. It was funny when a person from the TBI said they have heard of about every other weapon ever used but this is the first time a catfish was called a weapon...........ROFLMAO

How about that catfish deal? Guy from Tennessee threw a catfish out on the ice and they are going to file a bunch of charges against him.................

I don't know about that.........lol. A buddy of mine owns Buffalo Petes Bar b Que down there across from Co-op that makes some mighty fine Brisket and Bar-b-Que..........

I am far from being a computer Guru so bare with me on this. When a post is made it uses band width if I am not mistaken. With that said everytime a classified ad is posted it uses twice the band width because it posts 2 ads which has to cost extra. Like I said, I am not by any means the sharpest knife in the drawer when it come to computers and I may be totally wrong. If so someone please correct me........

Ok, so today I bought a UpLULA Magazine assist Loader to save my thumb from being worn out trying to load the double stack mags............

Well once again I got to meet and spend some time with aTGO member and once again it was a great experience to meet MacGyver and put a face with a name and had a very enjoyable visit. I took him up and introduced him to Steelharp at Sumner Gun and Supply and he also was glad to meet MacGyver so it was a double hitter for sure. Great guy and enjoyed the visit for sure.......................

I have always been one to say, if it ain't broke don't fix it and I didn't see much if anything wrong with the old system so I voted to go back. I also am not buying or selling as much as I once was so I can live with it either way so what ever you decide on will be fine with me...............

I doubt there will ever be another Woodstock! That was different time and era and those days are long gone. The young people of today have far to much hatred built up in them and the young people back then were called Love Children and yea they protested but they didn't set out to destroy other peoples property like young people today. Look at Berkeley back then and look at Berkeley today and that should tell folks everything they need to know..............jmho

Well, that is the way most deer hunting is. Hard to find land that they wil let you hunt and almost impossible today. Back then when I was a kid my grandfather owned the original Petway Farm which was the first farm settled in the comunity of Petway in Cheatham. The families name was Petway and my grandfather won the place in a card game back in 1932 with hand of small full house. In 1949 he began breeding horses and changed the name from a farm to Petway Ranch and that is when I post something about it I normally will say Ranch/Farm cause he actually raise all kinds of farm animals. There was also another almost 1200 acres of crop land and pasture land and the house my grandfather lived in was the original Yellow Popular Log house that was built in 1851. The Petways actually fought indians out of the upper level of the house and a person can still find great arrow heads and mini balls if you can get permission to used a metal detector and walk around the old house which still stands to this day. My Grandfathers name was Lee Greer and what use to be the driveway to the house is now a road named after him and it goes back into the little community that now exists when my parents sold off the ranch after my Grandfathers death. It was sold with conditions that each lot was to be sold in 20 acre tract and the buyer was only allowed 1 house and 1 out building or small barn. No mobile homes are permitted. My oldest son is buried in the Petway Cemetery s I make regular visits back to the ranch to make sure his grave is being taken care of...............

Yea, from what I have heard over the years there were a few Woodstock type mini comcerts across the country. I think that is what this one called Bonaroo that comes to Manchester Tennessee every year is trying to imitate. I know a few people that have attended it but I have never had the desire to go............JMHO

Thanks cause I didn't know that but I did know I don't want any of them hitting my jeep..................

Yea, the 2 guns I mentioned he showed me were the guns his 2 teenage sons I went to school with deer hunted with and put meat on the table back then. They hunter our ranch with me many times because we had about 1000 acres of timber that backed up to Cheatham County Game Reserve and only thing seperating our land from theirs was Barbed wire fence so we always had plenty of deer back then to hunt.

I have had a few folks ask me about my avatar so I guess I will explain it. That is an actual picture of a female Doberman giving the fireman a kiss because he risked his life to go back into a burning building to rescue her 5 pups that were less than a month old and when he layed them down beside her on a blanket and sat down she came up and thanked him with a kiss and a reporter caught it and shot a picture of it. People said dogs are not to smart but she knew what he did without any doubt in my mind anyway...........

Back when I was kid my grandfather gave me a rifle that he said a friend of his down the road had sporterized back many years ago. I took it out with some of the ammo he had left and shot it. After shooting it because the gun shot very good and was very accurate I went to seek out hunting grade ammo for it. I didn't even know what caliber or manufacturer was but the guy at the store knew. He told me it was a 7 MM Mauser and they did have some hunting ammo for it. I was 17 at the time and used it that season for deer hunting. Bagged 3 deer with it and only fire 3 rounds. I went and spoke to the man that had sporterized it and he showed me a 6.5 Japanese rifle and a 6.5 Intalian Carcano that he had also sporterized. The latter of the 2 was the same type rifle that Oswald used to shoot kennedy in 1963 but his was not sporterized. Today when I think about all of the guns the man sporterized and I often wonder what those same guns would be worth today if they were still in original condition?....................

I was watching the weather channel and hopping back and forth between the race and weather and I got to see a video of a guy holding a league size baseball in one hand and a hail stone in the other and the hail stone was bigger than the baseball so I went out in all the down pour and put my Jeep inside just in case. A little while later they said that hail like that was found to be most common in states of Nebraska Wyoming and Colorado but I was not taking any chances. They explained how hail forms and they said a drop of rain is drawn up into the colder air and becomes hail as it falls back to earth. If that is the case I would like to see the rain drop that created that hail stone??????.................

If I lived in the country I might try and stick it out but I don't so if there is any notice what so ever I will be a NC resident in 24 hours.

That is the issue I am running into. Finding one for a Bersa double stack Magazine. I have found a single stack but no doubles yet.

Don't let it bother you that your thoughts maybe incoherent about that day or many days following it. Everyone had different thoughts and feelings about what was going on back then. Your remembering what took place that night in the restaurant was point on. I have said many times that if the news medias were required to show the films of the planes hitting the towers every time they broadcasted the daily news it would remain a reminder of what America experienced that day and maybe all of the young people would feel differently today and appreciate what America stands for. For a brief period of time America was 1 nation under God and indivisable but like you said, "Sadly it didn't last." Politics got in the way.............JMHO

Wel I don't have 10 mags to load so a speed loader would help me and save my thumbs for sure. I have been looking on line and it looks like I will be buying the Maglula Uplula when I find one that does the Bersa 380 double stacks.

My dream came true when I got to see Janice Joplin and Jimmie Hendrix perform together on stage at the same time. Hendrix was on stage and had done a few songs and then he called on Janice to join him on stage to close out his show. That made it all worth going for sure.............. I also got to see CCR perform which was outstanding also. There was so many bands and so many stages you could not get to see all of them............JMHO

I was there for a short stay. 1 months later till got ressigned to Chu Lai.

I am noticing as I have gotten older I find it gettng harder for me to load magazines at the range. Fingers don't work as well as they use to. I know I have heard of a tool that makes it easier to assist in loading magazines, especially double stacks. Can someone recomend any of them and which ones are best and where they can be bought. I have line on a Bersa Thunder Plus that I will probably buy so it will be even more vital I find one of these tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bersaguy

After thinking about Gregg Allman it got me thinking and remembering back. I know that the ABB did not perform at Woodstock but a great many fantastic bands did. I was wondering if anyone here made it to Woodstock 1969 besides me. I was about to ship out for Southeast Asia in a month and was on leave so I decided to attend it and was sure glad I did. It was a fantastic experience and I saw some great bands, musicians and singers and many of them are also gone but not forgotten......................
