Richard Overton turns 111 with cigars,whiskey and new street name
A.J. Holst replied to MP5_Rizzo's topic in General Chat
I was reading through Matthew just last week, mentions something about not knowing when the master will return... -
Mrs. GtG loves hummingbirds. If you Google their migration patterns, it is simply amazing.

Spotted who I think was the adult male scurrying down my cul de sac, He disappeared in seconds. Was also visited by a small portion of the herd of deer (3 of 8 - 10 ish) who inhabit the woodlands behind my subdivision.

He showed his great sense of humor as the Honorable Mayor Adam West.

I had the opportunity to compare the C308 to the PTR at Bud's. If I was going this direction, PTR. Will also mention for a 5'9" guy, the charging handle position not user friendly

Impulse buy, if I didn't own another .380 this would be someone else's pistol I haven't done much research on the brand, internet revealed you got a good one or a crap-o-matic. The previous owner was confident enough that he carried it for years. I do like the ribbed vent, oddly cool. The sights are TERRIBLE. No firing pin block and the safety is ridiculously easy to sweep off. Need to find someone to help me replace the spring. Mag well is slightly beveled and it has an obvious pop up loaded indicator. 1911 style trigger, is it good? Yes? No?Maybe? Seems acceptable to me.

I would recommend an Omega. I think the trigger is superior and this is comparing a stock Omega to an upgraded P01 from CZC. I think it's so much better, I sent my 10 year old 75 to Cajun Gun Works for their Omega upgrade package.

They looked rough from the pics... Did you try Smoky Mountain next door?
-
I saw the used ones on line as well. Last time I was in, they had some new in the case. May be worth a call

Basil and cilantro doing well, been harvesting for a few weeks. Patio tomato plants have greenies, first year trying this method, so I am pretty hopeful.

While not the story behind Mr. Shady, he is a caricature of the evil capitalistic tycoon.

Ah, the much maligned Hi-Point... Can't speak for any other products, but mine is great. 2" groups, 50 yards, iron sights, experienced shooter, not me. Only failures are me, you really need to make sure the mag catch catches. Ran it through a short range carbine class, no issues and I'm a few thousand rounds into it. The mags are the weak point, for trouble shooting, Google the specs for the mag lips.

Early "inheritance" from my Dad. He and Mom acquired it in the early sixties. It's in the Chippendale style, late 1700/1800, most likely an English import. Drawer hardware is supposedly period correct, but not original. Oak frame and panels overlaid with a mahogany veneer.

Bob, adding you to my prayer list!

Is there a market for Bubba'ed Enfields?

I like my sporterized SMLE. Not an expert! but my internet research revealed the only downside is a worn barrel and and chamber. Not dangerous, but accuracy decreases. I'd clean it up, shoot it, determine if it's accurate enough for your purposes and go from there. I don't think restoring to the original look or proceeding with additional sporterization (is that a word?) will add or detract from your investment. Aim Surplus usually has a good selection of .303 from cheap to match grade, will be waiting on your video... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_minute -
As I continously repurpose gear and accessories, I am planning on mounting my "vintage" Japanese glass 4x Bushnell on my sporterized SMLE. Got some cheap WM rings for another 1" tube, thinking I should get higher quality? Recommendation? Not going to shoot it's bunch. Anyone got a set for sale?

Are you completely happy with your pistol choice?
A.J. Holst replied to DWARREN123's topic in Handguns
I am completely satisfied with my choice(s) So much so, I haven't found replacements for them (yet) -
I've got both a Leatherman and Victorinox. I like the Swiss army tool better, heavier duty than my Leatherman.

That's why I want to handle one before I buy, he read the reviews and bought on line. My budget is also waiting on my 75B Omega to return from Cajun Gun Works.
