How about those ancient Roman Out Houses? Nice cold marble. http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/public-toilet-ancient-times-22208826.jpg Actually the Roman toilets pictured have more in common with today's toilets than outhouses as they were inside building. They had a continuous flow of water running u...

My maternal grandfather served in France during WWI. I never heard him say anything about it but years after his death my grandmother framed his pictures and medals and gave it me. In it is his pay book and various other things. She also gave me various pieces of trench art that had been made out of...

I having been born 10 years after PH, have only recollections of growing up when it was a big deal. My father joined the Marines the morning after, Dec 8,1941. I have the watch his father gave him when he left for boot camp, on the back was engraved with his initials and date, VLG Dec 8 1941. He was...

As a 15 year old I can remember looking at them every time I walked past the sporting goods department in Fred Meyers when they came out. I even sent away for the catalog that year, I think I still have it packed away somewhere.

In watching old movies I hate to think of the value today of the originals they were using. Of course back then they were just old guns.

I don't know but I have some LR from the 60's that fit that description.

My stash includes a brick that was purchased in the early 70's for $7.99 when I was making $2.30 an hour. Have another couple of bricks bought in the late 70's-early 80's at the same price when I was making around $11.00 an hour. I also remember buying a couple of boxes of .22 in 1967 for $.65-.70 a...

We still have vets from Vietnam in the same kind of purgatory for almost 45 years now. Had a friend go over, definitely did not come back the same. Seen him off and on over the years and the last time I saw him 6 months ago he seemed to be doing the best I had seen in years. Judge no one until you h...

I have more wildlife looking out my doors and windows than if I went deep in the backwoods. Overrun with squirrels, raccoons, possums, pigeons and crows with a few rabbits, ducks, coyotes and even bears, deer and mountain lions thrown in a metropolitan area of almost a million and one half. I would ...

Had a '56 4 door sedan in '70. A $65.00 shot rod for basic transportation. 6 cyl engine smoked like a banshee, 3 on the tree linkage would lock up on a regular basis, heater didn't work. I wish I still had it but when it gave up the ghost I had to have something that ran. Nice car, hope the deal goe...

Sadly, this is happening more and more with each passing day. I am seeing a lot of misspellings on business websites lately. The education system today is more concerned with wiping out any reference to guns than educating the kids.

I never had a BB gun. My dad wouldn't let me have one but gave me his Winchester 1906 .22. To this day (63 yo) I have probably fired a BB gun less than 5 times.

I wonder how many more innocent people would have been injured or killed if the plant manager hadn't have had a gun?

Also have heard of using dry ice on them. Put the dry ice on the tiles and they will supposedly pop right up. Heard this from a couple of flooring guys years ago. Never tried it but have no reason to doubt the source.

A slight thread drift, but I always thought the lunar government as depicted in Robert Heinlein's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" would be one to try. Of course you gotta read the book to find out what it is, cos I can't remember much about it. Been a few summers since I read it. Joe Been ...

Why does everybody think only of shooting full house .327 mag loads in this gun. I am going to get one and 99% of what I will shoot through it will be .32 S&W longs, one of the most accurate cartridges for over 100 years now.

Gaucho Gringo

If all this .22 is supposedly being produced and sold and if very few people are shooting it there must be one humongous pile of it somewhere. I have over 5,000 rounds of it and I have not shot or bought any in the last 2 years. Bought 7.62x54R, .32 auto, .32 S&W & .32 S&W long, 7.62 Nag...

All the boats that I was fishing from from the time I was 7 to 37 the seats were just a plank that attached to the opposite sides of the boat. I am 63 now and haven't been fishing or in a boat since I was 37. Had to give that up to raise a family, couldn't afford to do both.

I wonder what the oxen population is today?

4 oz of lead hurts bad enough when you accidentally get hit with it fishing. No way I would want it coming at me at 1600fps.

Only in Portland. It's motto is "Keep Portland Weird", this is no joke. My wife and I were ROTFL when we saw it on the news on TV. Both my wife and I have lived in the same 2 sq mile area in Portland for all of our lives(me 63 & her 52). The place is getting so weird that we plan on mo...

Full SWAT call out. After the arrests, the kids would be expelled from school, forced into mandatory counseling, and the parents would be pariahs in their community.

The subject has been covered in a couple of programs on the History Channel.

Second that. They must of been trying to escape a predator. Years ago when my wife and I were first married we took our first cat camping with us and even took him in the boat fishing. People thought we were nuts but the cat didn't seem to mind and never tried to run away. I kind of thought he enjoy...

People have been saying negative things about their X-Force but to purchase 8 comparable inserts is more than the MSRP of the entire package. If I was in the market for a survival shotgun I would buy the gun, use the insets for my H&R 12ga and sell the rest for $200.00. The 8" barrels of th...

The best snow vehicle I have ever had was my 72 Dodge 3\4 ton PU. I had a 10' cabover Camper shell that I carried about 3500 lbs of tools in it.

Since the wolf huggers are almost all urban people, why don't they release them there. Then they can get together with their wolves and commune with nature. If some of the wolf huggers get eaten along the way, you can say that is the way nature works. Also there would be an endless supply of food fo...

Well, I had it happen to me in the mid 80's. I went from a person who was paying 1/3rd of my income in taxes to paying very little or no taxes in the last 30 yrs. Yah it is great when this stuff happens, only makes the rich richer.

So, the obvious solution is for everyone to leave the cradle of liberty which has become the abyss of tyranny and move to more gun friendly places.

This seller has a Euroarms Walker for sale. http://sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=215719 I bought his Rodgers & Spencer and I probably would have bought the Walker but I already have the exact same one and don't need two. His price is darn cheap for a Walker.

In an 1895 Winchester I would suggest 7.62X54R, the cartridge that a majority of them were chambered in. Plus cheap surplus ammo for it is about $.20-25 a round, a lot better than spending up to $2.00 or more a round for other rounds this rifle was chambered in if you don't reload.
