I recall reading once that he rarely spoke about his achievements unless he was specifically asked. His own daughter brought home a date who was introduced to her father. The young man asked if he was the same Bud Anderson of flying fame. His daughter had not just never heard of his fame, she...

Gnappi, I bought it used so I can't guess at that. Could have been warped from day 1 at the factory. The rep and I both wondered about forcing issues. Seems like that part would be thicker just for that possibility, but then again it could be a 'sacrificial' item designed to bend rather than...

Got a brother that lives in Sevierville, and I've owned and visited homes there for years and we both can vouch for this part: "Never heard ANYONE say a bad thing about Dolly."

I'm not sure that I can get a good enough shot for it to show up. I have read at least two other accounts of folks finding the same issue. I know its probably not noticed by most people during the average teardown, because nothing really looks bad or noticeable. I just happened to be laying...

Had an ST100 with some beefed-up carbs and a few other tricks, aftermarket shocks & springs. Loved to ride sport tourers, and always wanted to try the KZ Connies for pure speed. These warm Spring days are the reason that bikes exist! Mountain riding gives you good reasons to have 2 sets of...

Just got through to Ruger, who is sending me a new strut by mail. As everyone here probably knows from experience: That’s fantastic customer service from Ruger!

While tearing down my SP, I found the hammer strut to be somewhat warped. Not terribly bad but it’s not straight. Called Ruger to ask if it mattered but the recording said they’re closed (prior to noon). Does it make a difference? Haven’t measured but it wiggles a bit (perhaps 0.1??) when laid...

"I prefer the original, written on stone tablets" Not to start a fight, but I like the verses in 2 Corinthians where they speak of commandments written inside the heart, rather than on tablets of stone. My belief is this would tend to eliminate interpretation by having a voice that tells you...

In Tennessee, I have the option of a lifetime permit instead of 8 year terms. I'll gladly do that next year. $65 for 8 years, $200 for lifetime. I'll live a long time and make it pay off!

I gotta admire anyone that had the drive to make it to Eagle Scout. That's playing for the long haul to get there. Good for you! Yes, different game back then, and I don't like where it's heading now.

"Why not the PRIMARY deer hunting firearm?" Because it makes hunting too easy!

Same thing was said about the original paintings by what's considered the "Old Masters" (Rembrandt, VerMeer, Rubens, etc) and the saying goes like this: "They made 1,000 paintings, of which 2,000 are genuine and 3,000 are in the U.S." Buyer beware!

Happened to meet an old family friend living in Unaka, North Carolina perhaps 45 years ago. Hw was living back in the woods, WAY off the beaten path. He went to walk through his apple orchard and check on his hives, and pulled out his .22 rifle in case he saw a rabbit. A medium-sized black bear...

"Your goal. Take it out and shoot it." Thought this was an intro to "How to meet Liberals."

Hello all, I'm searching for a Don Hume H721 Right hand leather holster (OWB) for my Sp101. Cannot find them in stock anywhere, and its an 8-10 week wait for one. I prefer brown over black or tan, but I'm open to many things, including different brands. Any help is appreciated.
