Anybody got one of these Rugers yet? Looks like they are out of stock everywhere. Surprise surprise!

LOL! He looked like Danny DeVito with tobacco juice running down his chin. I wasn’t real jealous.

Unless you’re driving a big ole diesel truck, you got the shaft. I’ve always changed my own. There was an old mam who always changed my wife’s oil. I don’t know how he made any money at it, but she liked him, so we kept letting him do it til he retired and then passed away. Since then, I’m her oil changer too.

Quarter a piece sounds like a good deal to me. My neighbor has a greenhouse. He sells plants, but I have no idea what for. He never lets me pay for some reason.

I do to.

I’d rather have your rifle. I guess it depends on what you’d rather have. I imagine it’s about a wash value wise.

I’ve seen airlines do that. Not a good business practice in my opinion.

What questions do you have?

I may have seen some 4198 at the Reloader's Bench this morning. Might be worthwhile to give em a call.

I finally found some at the Reloader’s Bench this morning. Inflation has definitely hit the reloading industry, but now I can go back to loading for the Garand. They do have a limited selection of powder in case anyone else is looking.

Exactly! I’m under no illusion of being a gunfighter by any means, but I do value the opportunity to have a fighting chance. I believe a can do attitude, situational awareness, and the willingness to go through with what needs to be done will most often trump your count of rounds available. If I were really expecting trouble, I would first prefer to be elsewhere, and if that failed, I would want a rifle.

Same here!!!

In my personal experience, I have felt the need for a handgun twice. Luckily, on both occasions, the mere act of drawing and taking a defensive stance quickly deescalated the situation. Both times, had I been forced to fight, I seriously doubt I had the skill or ammunition to prevail. Surprisingly, at the time, I did feel I had the commitment and determination to give it one helluva try.

Tin coating is a process I’m not familiar with.

Advance Auto has a sale going on right now: 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 synthetic oil and a Mobil 1 filter for $34.99. That ain’t bad.

We planted our garden today. It’s harder work than it used to be. I think I’m beginning to get old. If so, I can’t really recommend it.

A cheap way to feed deer is to go to the grocery store and buy a big bag of pinto beans and sew them.

I’m sold on synthetic oil. I believe it gets you slightly better gas mileage, and the extended oil change intervals offsets the increase in cost.

I haven't bought squat in the past year or so. It'll show back up before long. As I've been reloading when the weather is bad, I would like to replenish my stock, but I've loaded enough ammo to shoot for a loooooooooong time.

You'd do well to practice in the yard til you get it figured out. I've never gotten mine hung up, and I'm an expert at getting things hung up! They work great once you figure out the trick to throwing them. 5' should be plenty big. We always keep it in a bucket, and take a minnow bucket also. Dump the caught minnows in the open top bucket, then pour them from that bucket into the minnow bucket. Makes it a lot easier.

They’re here! Two thumbs up from me for Starline!

These old rifles are made more like a farming implement than a fine rifle. They are crude, but strong, reasonably accurate, and pack quite a wallop. I find them to be an interesting part of history and human ingenuity.

How does GOC make money?

If you ever write a book, I’d sure like a copy. You’ve lived a very interesting life indeed.
