Just kidding! It's always good to meet the guys from TGO.

Wish I'd have known it; you guys could have boughr my lunch.

When you become an old fart like us, you won't like change.

I thought the crate of Mosins was a good idea. Once again, my wife did not share my enthusiasm.

I have an idea.....let's try a religion section!

Model 19-3. Now I have a brace of 'em!

We were at the beach on vacation in Gulf Shores. My older son was two years old at the time. We took him back to the condo for a nap. He turned on the cartoon network. I know something was terribly wrong when Dan Rather was on that channel broadcasting. I remember going to a restaurant that night. People there were all watching the President's address on tv. A building full of people who would otherwise be strangers were cheering the President, crying, and hugging one another. I wish that feeling of unity could have lasted, but sadly it didn't. The next morning at about the time of the attack, a formation of jet fighters flew up the beach from Pensacola. That caused a very eerie sensation that I've never before or since felt. Don't expect this post to make sense. It's just some incoherent thoughts of what I remember of that time.

These were inexpensive revolvers, and an overall weak design, as the hinge usually becomes loose pretty quickly. This one looks to be in much better condition than most I've seen, however. As long as the action is tight, I would buy or fabricate another firing pin for it, It shouldn't be a big deal. What caliber is it?

That's what I was thinking. I'm happy with a whole bunch of mine.

Wow! I hadn't heard this. I have a good friend I used to play music with in the funeral home now. This stuff makes one feel old!

I've about decided I don't want to live in a world where one would need years and years of food stored. I honestly don't see how that would or could happen anyway. We'd either all die, or sort out whatever problems caused the disruption in fairly short order. A short term supply of food, water, cash, toilet paper, etc. can come in handy however.

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing, and welcome to the forum!

I've noticed this lately as well when switching between a windows 10 computer and an I phone.

Sorta what I thought. I didn't know exactly what it was, but I did know it didn't look like a $200 rifle. Like they say; a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while.

SANTA FE M-59 TROOPER CAL 7.62 MM NATO GOLDEN STATE ARMS CORP. PASADENA, CALIF

There's a button that looks like it needs to be depressed to do that, and I can't seem to get it pushed down quite enough.

You are correct as usual. Now what's the trick to getting the bolt out?

I picked this thing up last weekend, and am now not sure why.

I haven't shot it yet, but here it is. It looks like Bubba's been ahold of the magazine, but it seems to work o.k. I believe Sarco has them in stock. There is a takedown tool, bore brush, pick, and grease can in the stock under the buttplate. So what is your opinion on firing commercial 308 ammo in this? The brochure I saw claimed that 308 ammo with any weight bullet would work fine, but the action is stamped 7.62 NATO.

At least he's our snowflake!

I think that's pretty well standard.

I cast with my left hand and reel with my right. I always found it odd to watch people continually swap their rod from hand to hand. Although I'm left handed, I also play a right handed guitar. I'm o.k. It's just that the rest of te world is screwed up.

Wow!

Uh oh! I think this is why the politics section got gone.

So if you're repeatedly being stung by yellow jackets, you should just ignore them because there will always be a wasp or bumble bee around?
