    Anyone use a Leatherman Wave?

    Have several of the original Leatherman's, working industrial maintenance at the time. They just fit the belt of a technician better than anything at the time. Then the Wave came out, pricey but much improved & appreciated. Grit my teeth, bought one, & bought another for a backup. With me 20...

    Ring height

    When there's a picatinny rail & a 40mm objective, even an adjustable objective, low rings will do in most brands with the exception of the original 2 screw Weavers. Stacking coins on the rail & setting the scope on them is the easiest. Measure the thickness of the coin stack or know how thick...

    Yesterday When I Was Young

    So ironic, my next younger brother & I just finished a 6 hour pow wow of trials, tails & challenges, even catching up on gossip. Me nearing 71, him just turning 65 & has a few more problems than me. A lot of things discussed, what health or physical problems we caused for our selves & the...

    Sick of Bias NEWS CRAP!

    I caught the National news lying or grossly mistaken about so many things as far back as 40 years ago. That! was just the things I felt I was knowledgeable of at the the time. That made me think, my goodness, how many other subjects are they reporting about that I don't have enough knowledge of...

    Lipsey Ruger Significance?

    I'd like to put in my opinion of Lipsey Rugers above & beyond what significance they have as fare value. To me, A Lipsey Ruger is one that Lipsey thought would sell when Ruger was unsure & Lipsey ordered a thousand or so to ensure that Ruger made them. Many, if not all have been a success. IMO...

    New old guy with question about gun weight

    Welcome & sounds like you're on the right track. But I'd like to suggest visiting some of the larger gunshops in your area & try a few different models & see how the feel. Weight is one thing, balance is another. A long heavy barrel might stress the wrist & make the whole gun feel heavy or...

    Skeet then and now

    Now back to regular programming... I see that International Skeet the birds are traveling 65mph vs. 50mph for American skeet. The club I shoot at a few times a year has said their birds are more like 40. To what gnappi said, most don't come back to an International range, point taken. But...

    Skeet then and now

    You just gonna have to quit that kind of talk & you know what I mean . BTW, no recent pic of you in a few years. I'd settle for the pajama one. But know I've probably gone too far already so I should shut up. I see your handle as WendyPYT, purty young thang. Always have.

    Wash and wax

    Not the same day as previous story, but still cleaner than most scooters I've had including a custom chopper. This one just begged to sparkle.

    Paul Harrell: Survival cache buried for fourteen years(14yrs)

    I now appreciate Paul more. Sharing something like this is very informative. His dilemma is dismal, but at least he had the consideration of his viewers to reveal this. A big thumbs up, don't know what else to say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Ruger Suppressor

    Since the ATF has sped up the application process, suppressors, particularly rimfire suppressors are in short supply. The Ruger being about as scarce as most. Otherwise, they never test toward the top or bottom, seemingly like they are OK for their price range. So many brands from about $250 -...

    Recommend Micarta Grips for Ruger Bisley

    I always thought the Hogues were very thick at the top & were way proud of the frame. These don't look like that. Any chance of a side view of the top of the grip? If not so thick I'll be ordering a pair today. Otherwise, all the Reeder fitted Micarta on a Bisley I've seen were superb. $200 on...

    Ruger single action in 188x?

    Thinking I counted 14 as the number of rounds Costner shot before a reload in the opening of the gun battle. But the real lulu of it all was him sitting on the ground, taking cover behind a,,,, wagon wheel, then shaking the heck out of the gun to rattle the empties out. I'm yelling, use the...

    Wash and wax

    Cleaned & polished on a Heritage Softail one Friday till midnight. 3 or 4 couples to meet at my house next day for a ride up into Ohio. I had the bike sort of sitting crossways in the drive for a good view. Nobody said a word. We rode into the next county to meet up with more riders at a...

    Skeet then and now

    Prior to 1997 the NSCA didn't allow a mounted gun in formal competition. The rules would say that the butt of the gun must be visible below the armpit when viewing from behind. Heck, at first the talk was, no more than a field ready position, the but of the gun about belt level. I guess the...
