I have two of them, one I bought new in 1992, and a T-series I bought a few years ago. .... the T-series has an adjustable LPA rear now. 92&94, Is this the LPA you are using? http://www.midwayusa.com/product/953880/lpa-tpu-target-rear-sight-browning-hi-power-with-285-dovetail-steel-blue That lo...

Probably my favorite 9mm auto. I've changed the sights on both...

If you have a Lowe's or two in the area, chances are there are some real lumber yards too :mrgreen: One of my favorites around here sells both hardwood and construction lumber (frequently called softwood). A lot of yards sell one or the other, not always both. The more specialized yards tend to be f...

All three of mine shoot better than I can. Minute of bean can is all I'm looking for out of any rifle. I usually just blow off them guys that worry about "inherent inaccuracy", in my experience they are internet crawlers who think that talking about shooting minute of arc is the same as do...

I'm doing a bunch of outdoor work too. Moving manure piles and clearing out the temporary attic in my shop so I can finish the ceiling. Going to take delivery of a wood chipper next week and start trimming up junipers in earnest. Thinking of getting a new chainsaw too, my old Homelite is a pain in t...

I'm sorry to hear it, those sneaking predators are a real pain. We had a fox or something a couple years ago, maybe a raccoon, but I've never seen one around here so I'm still leaning towards fox. If there is a next time I'm planning to get up around 3 for a few nights and nail the little bastid, bu...

We got lucky, it started raining here Sunday and has rained almost every day this week. Hot is now 90 or so, not bad at all. We're even starting to see some grass again

92&94

Wood darkens due to the base coat oil oxidizing. So if you use linseed or tung oil when finishing wood, it will darken with age. If you put polyurethane over that oil it will darken with age but not as fast. If you put shellac or lacquer on the raw wood (no oil) it will lighten with age as the UV br...

Depp talks in a British accent when out of character. That's odd, he was born in Kentucky :lol: A Lone Ranger that doesn't like guns??? Anything goes in PC Cali I guess. Seems to me that a fella in that story who didn't like guns would have a hard time filling 2.5 hours following the first shoot ou...

Those durn things would grow between the pavement and the curb at all the houses I had in Tucson, I hated them :lol: You could cut them off flush to the pavement and they'd be back in a few months. Un-killable. Seems like they also tended to suffer from wind more than did mesquites, at least more th...

I used to use .22 snake shot on squirrels, for some reason it worked way better on them than on rattlers :lol: Does the mk-II cycle normal ammo when actually fired? Honestly, I don't ever expect 100% reliability from any blowback SA pistol. I had a mk-II for a few years, I don't recall any problems,...

Why the H would anyone plant a mesquite tree on purpose? :?: Because the thorn-free Chilean hybrid mesquite is both lovely and low water use, which makes it perfect for Arizona landscaping. Why the H did you not know that? As I understand it, mesquites in Texas are roughly like Palos Verdes in AZ :...

Too bad we can't have an exchange program... trade 2 twits like Piers for a single upstanding sensible citizen

Heck, we might even give up three twits... um, I mean celebrities... for a single British gun owner

92&94

I've only shot 147 grain milsurp, no complaints with that though. Since much of the milsurp ammo is berdan primed, and Lake City ammo is twice the cost, I've never geared up to reload for it. Brass probably gets worked a little harder, but I know a few guys who reload for these rifles with no proble...

Here's a picture of mine, a cetme with fancy wood:

I have a G3 clone in the works, but it will be a long time before that's done.

92&94

All the clones, CETME's, and HK's are going to have fluted chambers, needed for the DRB action to operate. Up to a point you can shoot lighter loads, but too light can get to be tricky, because the action is a blowback delayed by some tricky German engineering. There's a bolt head, bolt carrier, and...

92&94

No reason at all, other than price :mrgreen: Genuine HK versions are pricey, as the military semi-auto import ban caused them to come out with very different versions rather than titular "sporters" that are basically the same as a semi-auto version of the military rifle. US built clones co...

I would take an old MB or a late 1960's CJ in a minute, the others I can resist easily enough. I had a 1970 Wagoneer when I was in college, it was a good truck but an even better hobby :mrgreen: Anything post AMC I wouldn't take as a gift. Or rather I would take it and immediately sell it :mrgreen: ...

My favorites are the 1950's vintage (I think they are anyway) that still had the brass lens rings. I've had far more of the later "sealed" scopes apart though, seems the seal wasn't quite as good as they thought. Usual problem with those is specs of rust or just a bit of a nasty film on th...

92&94

You can get stuff that will turn the brass black/brown, you could try that if you want to stick with the crescent look.

92&94

I've fixed a bunch of older Weavers, a friend of mine in Las Cruces has quite a collection of them. Most fun is re-gluing the lenses on the older ones, only done that a couple times.

92&94

I had a very good pastrami sandwich somewhere downtown in 1991. Place looked more like a diner than an eatery

The WWII sub is definitely worth seeing, it was probably the high point of my trip.

Thanks guys

I buried my dog last Wednesday. He was just past two years old and just turning into a good dog. Freak accident, he'd been rough housing with the dairy cow and she somehow snapped his neck. Normally, she was fairly gentle with him, getting her nose under his body and tossing him when she could. Best...

Stains can be very problematic. At this point you probably won't get that stain out of the stock, so the thing to do is match your patches to the stained stock and then put some oil or varnish over the whole thing. Actually, if I'm staining wood, I tend to match any putty patches to the stained wood...

92&94

Those look great, I especially like the antler grips :mrgreen: Looks like you have the finishing nailed down too. I was going to make a pair out of some nice desert ironwood for my vaquero, but the piece I want to use isn't quite big enough. Have to keep an eye out for a bigger one or look around fo...

Sounds like a great way to strip bluing before refinishing too.

92&94

Try the steam or hot water drip. If you want to try making your own wood putty, use hide glue instead of PVA glue, it blends in better under the oil. Gunstocks were not often stained from the factory before WWII, as far as I can tell. If it were mine, I would probably refinish the stock after trying...

Thanks for the info Grizzly Adams, that is what I was looking for. This bunch I'm working with hardly seems to get into gear before 8 am, and hardly any work gets done before lunch, so we're passing through town at 8 pm most nights. I did come through at lunch time yesterday, I may plan on a burger ...

I feed centipedes to the chickens :mrgreen: First job I had after college was down in Mexico. Our camp manager was a guy about my age, one day he caught a scorpion and a praying mantis. Put them together in a jar to see which would eat the other, they were a good match for size. No contest. The mant...

Get it while it lasts!

I got 20+ years yet... never have expected there to be any left by then.... they got way too many phones and empty bank accounts to pay for

Going to have to kick my lead recovery program into high gear. You know, I used to pick up the easy lead at Butterfield when I shoot there. Last year or so the place has been picked clean by metal scroungers. One guy down there told me the city is considering putting up "no picking" signs...

A key tenet of evolution is that God be left out, not present, eliminated, not in the equation. Not at all, the theory of evolution, and science in general, need take no position on the existence or not of any higher intelligence.

While that is interesting, and I will certainly grant you the apparent corner on specific knowledge of the subject, the other possible conclusion we can draw from what you relate is that the theory of evolution is not correct as you personally have defined it.
