Boots to asses here people. No price gouging tolerated  :up:

Saw this on facebook!

Wonderful artwork guys!

Here is a new one. Interesting little time only movement. Says Pat'd Aug. 30 1870

Thanks. I have cleaned just about all the movements in the ones I have. I am currently learning to repair them from another guy.   As far as the cases go, I try to stay away from the ones with severe wood veneer damage because I wouldn't be able to leave it that way. I'm up for refinishing a clock if it's in real sad shape. Although, dials with paint that is flaking are so hard to work with, I just leave them alone. I figure, it took them this long to look that way and I might as well leave it be.

Awesome! I'm up to 5 of my own, all in my bedroom...I keep them about 15 sec apart on striking.

This is the empire strikes back for sure.

Check out this crazy shit. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=326379972

Hmmm...guess I'm all alone on this one. I figured people would want to talk about something other than the looming legislation for a change....

If it could work, I would be all for it. Like Jonnin said though, do it at the wrong time and we could have a catastrophe on our hands.

I saw this on fb a few days ago. Very solid letter.

I have a few. Seth Thomas "College Harvard" circa 1900 Seth Thomas Round Bend model circa 1860s Seth Thomas OG weight driven clock circa 1865 One of these days I want a cuckoo clock.

Welcome to TGO

I must recommend these two videos. A must see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf_IIbT8HGk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRAMO0_6g-M

Stupid Feinstein and Pelosi and that damned bunch! Don't they have a floor to sweep or some something that needs cleaning?

Merry Christmas to all! Even some of the grouchier ones on here!  ;)

All I know is, there are people around here who will shoot any man who tries to take their guns away. 

That a$$hat can't say anything the right way. He's liable to overstate their actual desires and get an immediate NO vote from congress :D

Times are getting very interesting to say the least. 

What about Elven gold?  :pleased:

I have a Norinco SKS and I really like it. I have shot the cheapest AK (WASR) and was not all that impressed. What I like about the 7.62x39 round is of course the stopping power within that round. The SKS is just heavy enough so that when shooting, the rifle doesn't knock you around that much. I have heard that the SKS is possibly a little more accurate than an AK due to the different way the internals are put together. The AK's gas piston and bolt are all one piece, so when that is fired, it creates a lot of movement in the barrel and such. Watch a slomo video on it. The SKS bolt carrier and gas piston are all separated. Supposedly, both platforms are just as rugged as the other. Drop it in the dirt, mud, water or what have you and it will still fire. The only drawback that I have encountered in the SKS is in fact the mag capacity, but you can look at it two ways. On one hand, it does limit you to 10 rounds, but it kinda keeps me from just blowing through shots and slow down to take my time shooting. I have tried one aftermarket magazine, and it just fell out. I have seen videos with the TAPCO 20 round mags, and that is tempting to do. You have to sand off some of the stock on the inside to make them fit, but they will work if you do it right. The only thing about the detachable mags is 1) the bolt has to be open to insert the mag and 2) the mag may or may not hold the bolt open on the last shot. If you buy an SKS, [b]do not buy an Albanian model![/b] The yugo, Russian, and Norincos all work about the same. The yugo models have some extra bling like grenade launcher sights and stuff. I personally like the Russian models the best. I love the cherry colored tiger stripe looking wood that most of the stocks on them have. That's alot of reading but just my experience/opinions on the SKS. Here are a few from Wideners: http://wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100001081&dir=700|701|1029 http://wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100000439&dir=700|701|1029 http://wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100001072&dir=700|701|1029

2014?

So much left up to speculation.

My great grandfather's brother was blown off the deck of the Arizona when the Japs dropped a bomb on it. He had to tread water and spent a lot of time trying to get around all the burning oil on the surface.
