So where is the video? Seems like everyone should be entitled to see it.

Geesh, sounds like a bunch of worn out, busted up old guys here. Well I'm right there with you. But I won't let it stop me. Slow me down a bit, maybe. As to what's going on, quite a bit of Jeeping. My favorite places in the high desert aren't far away and while I admit I don't do a lot of hard core ...

jeepnik

Yep, thank you sir.

I get mine fresh roasted peanuts at the local farmer's market. Nothing like right out of the roaster.

jeepnik

Well, I'll pick one from each "category". .45 acp, .308 win, and 20 ga. I could easily give three from each category.
Handgun .45 acp, .45 colt, & .357 s&w
Rifle .308 win, 45-70, & 30-06
Shotgun 20 ga, .410, & 12 ga.

Public restrooms are dangerous places. Many moons ago I landed back in California, changed to civies and made my way to the San Francisco airport. While waiting for my flight I was standing at a urinal when a couple of locals decided to relieve me of my wallet. They went to the hospital for an exten...

Got the USS Iowa, the first of the class, literally down the street. What I find sort of interesting is that these ships were huge for their day. When a cruise ship passes by either coming into port or leaving the battle ships look small. But this will give some idea of just how big these rifles are...

I think the latest No Kings movement started in the UK as king Charles is not doing very well over here, I can't imagine what chaos it would cause in the US... :lol: but if President Trump ever wants a part time job he could take charge of the UK government and make a lot of Brits very happy. :D Is...

Mr. York, I am 13 years behind you and doubt I will reach your mark. Congratulations sir! Hang in there, Bill, might happen despite your doubts. There was a 5 year period when I doubted if I would see 30. :roll: Thanks everyone for your kind comments, much appreciated. :D Heck, I'd bet most of us h...

Street, like a lot of things the folks involved make a huge difference. Where I worship the government, and the "church" says we can't have firearms or organized groups of worshipers providing any sort of security. So we disbanded our group. But it was quite a group. Some current and forme...

I believe he mentioned a while ago he was headed to PI. I think he goes out into the provinces. He doesn't have internet there.

Those things are pressurized. At 10,000 were they turning blue?

My first advice on most things is clean it. And by this I mean disassemble it and clean every nook and cranny. While you're doing this you can look at all the parts and inspect for roughness or burrs. I can't count the number of firearms, even new ones, that I have "fixed" for folks by jus...

Dang, that's huge. Glad she's doing well.

I'm no help. Church here is pretty darned casual. Maybe that's just a SoCal thing. But I wear my standard jeans and Hawaiian shirt. Usually in a more subdued print for church. The wife has given up complaining. But no one at church has ever complained. Now that some know what's under the shirt there...

jeepnik

I'm sorry but in cases of extreme stupidity I think we need some censorship.
I'd have liked the video better without the helmet. Then natural selection would have come into play.

jeepnik

Learned to hunt in jeans, plaid flannel shirt, boots, hat and jacket. But today's deer are apparently better sighted and much smarter. Today new hunters need rifles capable of one MOA at 1000 yds (because they can't get any closer), camo everything and enough electronics to stock a Radio Shack.

Nevada has the largest portion of the state that is BLM land in the lower 48. There is almost no BLM land east of Colorado or New Mexico or southwest Texas. Alaska likely has the largest percentage of the state that is under federal control. Between BLM, USFS, NPS, NFS and military, then toss in nat...

Years ago I did a lot of weekend prairie dog shooting, most frequently with a Remington model 722 in .222 mag. I used Hornady 50 gr SX (super explosive) bullets that were reputed to disintegrate at above about 3500 fps. I never tried them in my .22-250 but shot out of my Remington at 100 yards they...

Frankly, is all the governments of the world made a simultaneous announcement that aliens were real and had been in contact it would be met with two reactions. Most would yawn and go back to their lives. And the crazy few would insist it's a conspiracy and aliens don't exist.

And they can vote. Hopefully they will be to into their phones to do so.

Woke up in pain. Guess I'm still here. You know the old saying. If you wake up and nothing hurts, you're dead.

You're talking steel. I'm talking electromagnetic shielding. Mass counts.

jeepnik

Get real, you want a big heavy bullet to penetrate their shields. Minimum 45-70 525 gr. Or even better something like a 500 gr 460 Weatherby.

Heck, I get bruises like that just banging into things and he's older than me. It's called old age. Sun damage can have its effect as well and.

Apparently this has been sitting for a while. So Since they already figured it out, it wouldn't be difficult to have them set up in every major city and around every military installation. But I think announcing it was wrong. Unless they have already shutdown any and all such facilities, it could ju...

jeepnik

Don't know Doc. If I had to pare down to three, .22lr, 30-06 & 45-70. I've tried the 06 with 55 gr sabot rounds from Remington. Pretty darned accurate and murder on coyotes.

jeepnik

Nope, no great big aiming point for me. I've been in this house since 1979. I know every square inch of it.
Read my sig line.

jeepnik

Heck, with my hands just handling a blued firearm and not wiping it down immediately leads to rust.

jeepnik

Sadly that is my wife's motto. I'm regularly repairing things that she lost patients with and used force instead of finesse.

Pretty much every recruit, regardless of branch, went through the "shot line" in that era. The depending on where you were sent or in my case could be sent, you received quite a few others. None really bothered me with regard to reaction except two. First was Plague, it felt like my arm an...

Looks like I'm headed for another round of PT for my back. The docs have this really foolish method where they order PT "before" the know what the underlying condition is, much less treat it. I usually call them on it, but that's just the way things are set up.

Truth be told, they are all groaners. But, that's the quality that makes them so darned funny.

Not a pistol, but it gives me more thump. But it's not generally a standard truck gun. It's parent worked well once so...

Of course it's always nice to dream, and my wife and I would like to drive to Alaska again. This time hauling our Airstream. Ignoring the issues with Canada, this would be my preferred truck gun.

jeepnik

While not underappreciated by me, until lately the .410 shotgun has long been ignored. On the other hand I have built "the Perfect Jeep Gun" on a Mossberg 500 in .410.

The Ruger Mk guns can be a real PITA! It's got to be all of the improved MK II's, III's & IV's that are so hard for mere mortals to work on. And it seems they all need aftermarket parts, triggers in particular. The MK I's don't have that many parts, and go together in what's called an intuitive...

I always wanted a Detonics Combat Master. But during it's time they were lean years.

If you are going to do it, put a hasp and a padlock on it. If you aren't going to use it, remove the door.

If by chance you are considering an H&R. Skip right to the top and get a 999 Sportsman. Back in the late 70's early 80's I was on a .22 lr kick. I had picked up one of those special edition magazines (you know the ones with the slightly thicker cover) and the author (can't remember his name but ...

As I recall, the grip safety was a add on at the Army's request. I never thought about it one way or another. I never needed the speed bump type as my hand just seems to fit the grip, or vice versa.

Neighbor's kid was studying environmental science at USC. Got hooked into a project to remove all the non native species from a wetland area in Irvine California. Worked on it his entire time in college. The money ran out at some point, and the work stopped. It took about one good wet spring for man...

Almost bought a Star auto in 1975. I was stationed in Spain and I wanted to buy a handgun to carry. I opted for a Llama Comanche instead. I was young and the word magnum held it's allure. Wish I still had it, for sentimental reasons if no other. But, a young dad and not much income it had to go. Kid...

jeepnik

Heck if I ever got that good with a particular handgun it would be the only one I would be carrying. I admit to liking the 1911. I'm not wedded to any particular size, with the exception of the double stacked ones. I have a Para but they just aren't suited to my hand.

I'm suspicious when folks try to "improve" on mother natures water features. As a kid we had a cabin in Big Bear Ca. A fellow about a mile or so away wanted to build a cabin but decided he wanted it where a small stream (most years) was running. He hired a company to reroute it. The cabin ...
