Blast!

Memorial Day provokes the imagination, pondering what went through the minds of those like Albert Munro, who parked his Higgins boat at Guadalcanal so that it blocked Japanese machine gun fire while the other Higgins boats evacuated an entire battalion. The short easy answer is that he made the...

Well, I never had a gun just pop open on the shot, so your point about the greener cross bolt preventing that is certainly well taken.

side lock Sauer by any chance?

My wife. No joke. I pity the fool that seriously crosses her--that Yaqui Indian blood shows.

And THAT is the definition of "Badonkadonk"

And that is proof positive that a Chinese made binocular can be great IF the design and quality control is of the highest standard. (as in, enforced by Zeiss)

One fellow on BirdForum said of the Leica Ultravid 8x20, "I almost thought I was looking through a pair of mid-sized cheaper binoculars." He meant it as a compliment. Yes, the compacts struggle to keep up with the performance of the larger glass, but that is exactly why you want the best in a...

Better take him up on it--ultravids are the best 8x20 I've ever looked through. When I want to read the most knit-picking reviews on optics, I go to BirdForum. Those people are koo-koo for cocoa puffs about their binoculars. I have read great reviews there about the UV Leicas, (and many others)

Yeah, but if I didn't eat what they gave me right away, my two brothers would grab it and wolf it down!

except for the last paragraph total BS. Africa needs a dose of reality therapy.

Congrats!

It's growing on me...

Post them too!

Yuck, that's right up there with them hanging pheasants by the neck until the body falls off. Bet it's REAL flavorful....

Well, it was on my bucket list to go to Canada, esp. this year, but due to thoughts about Canadians disliking Americans over "51st state" issues, we went to Tahoe instead (also on my bucket list) Sad, as I caught a much smaller lake trout than I envisioned being available in Canada.

Bottom of butt-stock reminds me of the synthetic Ruger "boat-paddle" style. Adjustable comb is a daring addition that just might be practical for all scope configurations. Function--waiting for a report.

Same tornado that hit our house--with us inside it!--erased a trailer house. The owners found less than a trash bag full of any belongings, though the washing machine tub liner was way up in a tree over a branch. Took three months for some neighbors to get it totally cleaned up. Condolences.

possible correction--Newboomer shot said 350 grainer front to back through a buffalo!

Correct, AND the communists have already had a taste of how Africa receives communism, i.e. Mozambique back in the day. The collective/community farms were not worked. Men had rather run off into the bush than work in a garden meant to benefit everyone. They will take from government, but not...

Thank you for posting. This film in it's entirety is not easy to find. Sometimes only a portion is available to pull up on the internet. First time I have seen it all, so kudos! And, what an Hombre'

What possible legitimate beef could any European have with Musk? DOGE activity has nothing to do with you

39" heavy horned buff from Tanzania 38 1/2" first buff from Zim A rare black squirrel when I was 16, shot with a .22 at 75 yds at last light

"And a bayonet...with some guts behind it". ZULU one of my all-time favorites!

Not only tiny holes, but sunken areas for no external reason sometimes happen, almost like an internal collapse of some kind, and much more common on kiln dried. Embedded objects like nails usually cross the annular rings and are identifiable, and therefore avoidable. Another reason not to cut...

Surely you saved more than one for yourself...do both projects and squirrel away more for later projects. I hope you had him save you the crotch wood--should result in a match pair. Stump wood is highly figured. Air dried is best with the ends sealed. I use paraffin wax for that. Kiln drying can...

"You're not bonified. He's bonified."

They need to set up some positive examples--let some who leave back in legally and then advertise that it actually worked.

Well, you'd better hurry the Hell up before you are too outnumbered to get it done.

And, I might add, if they survive, in their eyes--they win!

I was mostly thinking about how hard it would be to even SEE that beautiful Damascus figure with scratches all through it....

READY FOR THE HUNT WITH HTK SAFARIS!!!!!!

And hopefully they'll be harder to round up than 20 million illegals.....

So, failures of self-regulation only happen in the US?

I think Taylor had a strong anti-German bias in general. I have never been able to find other corroboration of his remarks about failing to extract. My personal experiences with Mannlicher-Schoenauers have been uniformly exemplary!

And did the tracker scratch it all up while sharpening it? (on a flat rock?) I have become too vain to scratch up the sides of my own knives with sloppy sharpening. But it makes like more difficult being so careful. Maybe knives shouldn't be so nice you can't use them in the real world.

I always thought that my Sako safari was controlled round feed, but apparently it does not meet the standard of "true CRF" even though it does take hold of the round and control it. You can even operate it upside down. But alas, it's just not good enough to make the cut....NOT!

Oops, I didn't see the little row of teethe things...it's an ashtray.

It's a citrus juicer

Don Henry (RIP) of the Mannlicher Collector's Assoc. always advised me to keep loading on my 1908 MS to the lower side of manual specs., not exceeding the middle pressure recommendations. He claimed the metalurgy of the early years was nowhere near as robust as, for example, a model 1950 or year...

I was not aware it edged out the 375 H&H flanged! Not too shabby.

I would probably look into a used British double from between the wars. They sure fit me to a tee, and include refinements which would cost a pretty penny today. Doggory Hadoke has a book on boxlocks in that era.

8X57JR...have several combination guns

no

Well, Bob Nelson will probably love it...

Wish I could unsee all this...

I think it is designed to move the cuticles back on your fingernails...

The English Army & Navy brand were good, unadorned working guns. A boxlock non ejector shouldn't be too cost prohibitive and less fussy than many ejection systems.

Haven't seen a swamp rabbit in a while. They are about as big as a jackrabbit, but taste better. Now if you want some great recipes, just find any old French cook book--they appreciate rabbit--even raise them to eat.

Smokin' .22 hulls and the smell of squirrel hollows. Grass fires in Africa. Two cycle outboard motor exhaust and fog on the water. Smell of baby pups with their eyes barely open. Neighbor's BBQ grill firing up back home. Hot canvas on a tent exposed to Texas summer sun.
