Have they quit making .22WMR? UPDATE: NOW IN THE WILD
MP5_Rizzo replied to seez52's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Montgomery County Shooting Complex had several boxes as of this past Sunday. It was almost $17.00 a box of 50 if I remember correctly. -
Very Nice!!!! Do you have some extra barrels? 7.62 X 54R can throw an awesome fireball and is way to fun to shoot at night. I've still got a couple of 1975 vintage unopened crates of this stuff stashed away somewhere. I gave less for the crate of two spam cans than what one can is going for these days. Once again, a story of the good old days and wished I had bought more!

Whew, payment sent. -
The Remington model 11 did not have the magazine cutoff. The shotgun in the photo appears to have the cutoff so I would say it is a Browning A5.

After Rick played punching bag with the Zead head to mess up the nose. Best line of all to date was by the Hilltop guy talking to Rick. " The Saviors are scary but these pricks have nothing on you".

AGREED!

The plane or making a Glock look sexy?

I would have agree with SWJewellTN and the P51 with the F4U being a very close 2nd as far as war birds go but since we ventured away from that I will put this one up for consideration.

Eight days after the NRA Great Outdoors event and just down the street at the National Civil War Museum a heist of 3 historical guns valued at $650,000 were stolen. Coincidence or a well planned series of events? http://www.pennlive.com/news/2016/02/harrisburg_civil_war_museum_vu.html

Congrats on your draw, I hope you have a successful hunt! I used to live on Tom Petty Road. The county finally changed the name of the road but only after replacing the sign about 20 times. The current street sign has been there 20 plus years.

Do you take a shot of the Knob Creek before you put it on or after you take that rig off?

One of the more profound observations I've heard in a long time.

It came from a poem written by Jeff Coopers granddaughter. "Grandpa's Lesson." Pappy took to drinkin' back when I was barely three. Ma got pretty quiet. She was frettin', you could see. So I was sent to Grandpa and he raised me up real good. He taught me what I oughta and he taught me what I should. I learned a heap 'o lessons from the yarns he liked to tell. There's one I won't forget because I learned it 'speshly well. There jist ain't many folk who live a peaceful, carefree life. Along with all the good times there'll be lotsa grief and strife. But there ain't many troubles that a man caint fix With seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six." Grandpa courted Grandma near the town of old Cheyenne. Her daddy was cantankerous - a very greedy man. He wouldn't give permission for a fancy wedding day 'Til grandpa paid a dowry - biggest ever people say. Her daddy softened up when Grandpa said that he could fix Him up with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six. Grandpa herded cattle down around Jalisco way. Ended up behind some iron bars one dusty day. Seems the local jefe craved my Grandpa's pinto mare. Grandpa wouldn't sell her so he lit on out of there. Didn't take much doin' 'cept a couple special tricks Plus seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six. Then there was that Faro game near San Francisco Bay. Grandpa's cards was smokin' hot and he took all one day. He woke up nearly naked in a ditch next early morn'. With nothin' but his flannel shirt, and it was ripped and torn. Those others were professionals and they don't play for kicks. He lost seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six. He begged some woolen trousers off the local storekeep there Who loaned him both a pony and a rifle on a dare. He caught those thievin' cardsharks at another Faro game. He got back all his property and also his good name. He left one bleedin' badly and another mostly lame. My Grandpa's trusty rifle shoots just where you choose to aim. Grandpa's slowin' down a bit and just the other night He handed me his rifle and a box sealed up real tight. He fixed me with them pale grey eyes and this is what he said, "You're awful young but steady too and I will soon be dead. I'll bet this here old rifle and this honest money too Will come in mighty handy just as readily for you. There jist ain't many folk who lead a carefree peaceful life. Along with times of happiness, there's always woe and strife. But.....ain't many troubles that a man caint fix with seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six." Lindy Cooper Wisdom -
Thank you MrsMonkey. I had to look for myself but she is correct. Still strange that there is only 1 G-lock!

Thanks MrBrian. I just tried again and I got some issue going on. Still getting a 522 Error and says CMP host error. I can get onto the forums and other stuff but not the store.

So out of roughly 250 firearms from the Putnam County Sheriifs Department auction there is not a single Glock or AR on the list. I guess they never confiscated any or they get first dibs?

I just tried to go to the CMP to see what flavor of Garands they have available as of now. I'm getting a 522 Error code. Can anyone else give it a try?

Ahh you've done it now LagerHead! The mention of Enigma machine and decoding is going to turn this thread into matter of national security requiring a magistrate judge court ordered ruling to bring Steve Jobs back from the dead to break the encryption code needed to follow this thread.

Spyderco Civilian with plain edge?

Like MacGyver said they are rare and it appears that the ones that are out there are not leaving the owners hands. When Blade HQ had them they were $350.00. I would say they are going for almost double that now if you can find someone willing to sell one. -
That is a nice collection you have there. I have always been drawn to odd calibers. The 6.5 Jap was a tough one. There are several calibers you could line up in that size range that would be hard to identify by just a picture. I remember way back in the day I was in a gun shop and like always I'm drawn to the gun that does not fit in with the others. It was the .256 Ruger Hawkeye single shot. I left with a Ruger that day but not the Hawkeye. Another one of those I wish I had it to do over again stories.

This is the one I saw. I suppose at 74 she still has some cuchi, cuchi cuchi left in her.

After watching again I agree with you. Side view of tracer rounds, that ain't right!
