That's what I thought but wasn't certain. Thank you!

I saw some beauties a couple of weeks ago at the Bucharest airshow. P51 and F4U. I'm not sure what the 3rd one is..

Ugh. I feel triggered! TFOO-ULU / SADULU :LOL:

Thank you sir. My mom likes to think it's well lived in. :ROFLMAO:

Excellent book!

My parents are voracious readers. I suppose that led to all their children being the same. Growing up, books were part of the house. Even today, you have to move several books in order to sit. This is only the downstairs and doesn’t include the upstairs and dad’s office. I believe the current...

Well, I just looked up how to play Mancala and found an app so I could try it. I like it! I was surprised to find that there are not only many ways to play, but also requires a fair amount of strategy. I can see why this is an old game, as it can be played virtually anywhere. Thanks for the input!

I just ordered a pack of the Purdey cards. Rigby were sold out, but they looked quite nice. There are some impressive backgammon boards on Etsy. A bit pricey, but quite nice.

I played that game with a lion-I didn't enjoy that part of the game. lol

Perusing Rigby and Purdey's websites, I see that both offer a travel backgammon set., I know few people who play backgammon and was surprised that two high end firearms companies offer the game. This got me to thinking. Is backgammon a game that was traditionally played while on safari? I have...

Hey it's your first double rifle! You seem excited and proud to own it, so that's what matters. Shoot it and see how it regulates. I don't know how Canada is, but if you are able to, play with some hand loading and see what that nets you. The 450/400 is a great cartridge that can handle any of...

I understand what you mean. If we are talking religion, then I believe only a person has a soul. However, we also tend to apply the word to inanimate objects that touch our emotions. Most Van Gogh paintings do nothing for me, but a work by Rembrandt or "A Study of Praying Hands" by Albrecht...

Krieghoff's don't make me wrinkle my nose like I just smelled a skunk or anything, but they aren't my cup of tea.The Hubertus I rented was quite nice and got me the Roebuck I was after. I just don't care for teutonic firearms in general, with some exceptions. I admire them for what they are, I...

Unfortunately, gun parts are treated the same as if they are firearms, with the exception of scopes.

This was the first Hubertus I have ever seen. It was quite light, which is fine for a .243 but I would hope the gun would be a bit heavier for 9.3x74R. That's a great cartridge, but you'd feel it in a lightweight gun like that.
