I would agree. Like some of the Mosins it could have been soldered on. KahrMan is the silver on the barrel raised, or is that cuts into the metal?
-
I see online that it could have a front sight cover. Maybe someone pulled one off it. The barrel discoloration size lends to that too.

Man! I've got a kid graduating high school tonight.

I second that. Lucky guy. They need to live while they are young (within reason). Too soon you have a mortgage, a job, and kids of your own to figure out. I like to say "They need to do all the wrong stuff with all the right people." Makes the downhill slide at the other end of life as little rosier. -
Meeting a random person locally to buy a gun is always a risk. Best you can do is watch for warning signs and be very cautious of deals that are too good to be true.

I remember seeing Soundgarden at Lalapolusa in the 90's. Great energy from him. He fronted so many great bands. It is a real loss. Black Hole Sun was what made me want to learn guitar. Only riffs I finally learned before stopping. Someone once said that to be that creative and produce music that inspired emotion, you must be in pain. I guess whatever pain he had became too much. I footnoted it over in the Kill a rattlesnake thread since we were talking about metal music.

Yep. 1st pic...dumbass....2nd pic...hopefully reformed dumbass.

I understand the Karamit. I have looked into it before. The ring on the end is a key point for it though. Maybe this works great. It just does not appeal to me.
-
You can say it come on.. .go ahead..... GOAT!!! Takes me back to before mosh pits happened at pop concerts and my ears would ring for days after a good concert. Of course the dumbass in the video probably has no idea where it came from other than he saw it somewhere else. I am surprised he did not do the "I love You" sign thinking it was horns. lol On a side note...sad to see that Chris Cornell passed overnight...

I read that the wolf/coyote hybrid is making its way closer to us. They are supposed to be bigger and hunt more like wolf packs. I have no problem hunting or trapping them, but I would just prefer that it not be wasted. Fur bearing animals have a lot to offer if you do not mangle the hide up. Of course, I also wish I saw more deer hunters tan the hides or at least pass them to someone to tan. Seems like a waste to see it all get tossed in a dumpster.

The real problem with coyote is that they are highly adaptable. So as we consumed native habitat, they adapted to the landscape. Hunting turned from native rodents and birds to the much easier porch food bowl, trash can, housecat, or lapdog. In fact life got a lot easier for the opportunistic scavenger. That is why their numbers are growing.

Yeah I was trying to finish mowing last night at dusk. I felt like a pin cushion.

Seems nice, but not had range time yet.

They taught me that I should take a blanket when having a little fun with my girlfriend out in the hay field. There are places you do not want then to get.
-
Still does not explain how it makes it a better as a last resort. I see it catching and hanging on the opponents clothing. Though, I am biased that I like very little Spyderco makes.
-
Uhhhhh... I have no idea why the blade is shaped that way...
-
That reminds me. I have some of those somewhere. I bought it for the actual pond/spring that is on her property a few years ago before it filled the rest of the way in. Thanks I would love to have one of the propane powered traps. I here they are great.

I remember turning over a block of wood at our woodpile at about 6 or 7 that had a yellow jacket nest under it. By the time I made it to the house I had 30 stings and they had crawled into my clothes. My mom had to kill a dozen that were in my shorts and shirt and toss me into a soda bath. I don't even remember how I got through the barbed wire fence. Since that day, I nuke every nest I find. People used to say hornets were bad, but at least they hunt flies. That is a positive service.
-
Yep. Both my grandfathers had sheds where they kept feed. As long as the snakes and such left the hens alone, they said the more the merrier. Otherwise the mice carried the feed off quicker than you could buy it. Take a look at Australia where the transplanted rodents had no natural predetors. They over ran the place. It is like bats too. People are all scared of them, but they do a decent job at keeping the mosquitoes tolerable at my house. Since my neighbor let her pool become a scum pond I need the help.
-
Nice stuff, but I agree on the price. My family abuses the kitchen knives too much to drop that much on them. That is why my nice knives stay out of sight.
-
That is bad. Hopefully if someone shot it the others got away. Few people understand how some of these animals can be helpful to have around let alone fun to watch. I have seem people shoot things just because they were eating the cat food that was left out on the porch. If I could get a few foxes and larger snakes to hang around, my gopher and mole issue would be history. So far though no luck. All the snakes I see are garter snakes and they are way too small to help out.

Too bad I can only like this once......... I hate yellow jackets with a passion that few humans can achieve....

I had a (adult?) red fox show up in my back yard and hang around for a few hours a while back. I got worried at first since it was broad daylight and did not seem scared, but it never came close to the house. It lounged and played around like it was chasing some of the gophers in my yard. At that point I would have built it a house if it chose to stay and kill those dang things. I think they are beautiful and it had been years since I saw one. Some evidence suggests that the fox was kept as a pet companion by early people. even before the dog. I can see why when I watch them.

To save you some work in the future (if you do something like this again) there are boards like Freecycle and Trashnothing that you can post stuff free to give away. Then have people pick it up. As long as you are ok with people at your house. I gave away a pile of leftover gravel and form wood away that way. I also gave away some old furniture that way too. Sure beats trips to the dump. I bet there would be interest in river rock.

We used to see this when my Papaw had bees. Sometimes they would swarm and leave or sometimes he would go to someones house to cut a swarm out of a tree to bring to an empty hive. It used to be pretty common when bees were way more plentiful.
