Nice! Glad you are fixing her up Griff.
It may be only 47hp, but the torque load from the gear reduction is huge! That, and they built stuff to hold up and last back in the day.

OldWin

Pages keep ticking by. Been MIA. Getting close to my Christmas now. Week from Saturday is opening day. Have to haul the shack up tomorrow. Taking the Jeep for a ride Saturday to see if we can find some birds. Going to head up past Jackman towards the border. Cruise around and see what there is to see.

OldWin

Ok... here goes. First, I will say up front, if you hunt by sitting watching a food plot or field, ok. The snow keeps the light later in the day and provides contrast with the deer. That is the only time. When it snows during hunting season it is 90% of the time wet, heavy snow. As such, it sticks a...

OldWin

So cool! A guy I know here in town made the news. He was moose hunting 8 years ago in Brighton, up by my property. He lost his wedding band. A guy was moose hunting up there this year and found it! :shock: He posted some pics on FB on the Maine Moose hunting group of the inscription inside. The guy ...

OldWin

Ok. I thought we were about the same age.

I hate snow during hunting season........HATE IT!

it isn't THAT hard. That's some bad luck.

OldWin

Oops. Guess I'm old Gunny.

We would have gone in 88.

We get a barely perceived shudder here. About every 10 years.

Snow is starting here too. Coburn Gore got 9" Saturday. Jackman and Rangeley 6".

OldWin

Yeah haha. My roommate and I at tech school had a Smith 629, an M1 carbine, and a 94 carbine in our dorm room. We had a pellet pistol too. We shot the hall window out across from our room with the pellet pistol, so we took the window out and swapped it with one down the hall in the middle of the nig...

OldWin

Glad to hear. Prayers for continued and speedy recovery.

2 foot heck thats bath tub calm for those waters !

Haha yeah. That's why they bought a house and moved off base. Every time there was a tsunami warning, they had to evacuate from the base housing.
Big PIA. Especially now with 2 kids.

OldWin

Not sure if they felt it on Kodiak. My kid was out hunting so he headed back, got the kids from daycare on the base, and went home.
His house is hight up so he doesn't have to worry. He said there was maybe a 2 foot wave.

OldWin

Welcome! Glad you pulled up a stump.
As others have mentioned, this is an expensive place to hang out.

OldWin

I think we are going to need a video!

Wanna see Griff "Rock and Roll"!

OldWin

Hope you feel better soon, Tom. Take it easy.

Well, it's starting. They got 6" of snow in Jackman Saturday. Coburn Gore got 9".

Really hoping we'd get through hunting season without any.

Oh! Thanks for the quake info Gunny.
Texted the kid. They are on tsunami watch.......again.

OldWin

I don't put signs up either. I know myself, and try and avoid the confrontations. Good for you Griff! That's going to be a bigger job than doing my old John Deere 240 was. :D It will be really nice when its done, though. We took a ride down to Turner yesterday. There was an RV place that had one of ...

OldWin

Congratulations Gunny!
You are the official shotgun king of the gunroom thread!

OldWin

Yes......Yes! I deserve that. HICK LIVES MATTER! :D I may hire you though, Griff. Soon as I can retire outta here, I'm selling that glorified El Camino I have and looking down south for a real truck. May need it hauled back. I know you don't do Maine though, buddy. No worries. Matter of fact.... Thr...

Griff,
Hold on buddy. Got some coming your way too. I didn't forget!
No problem... I keep thinking of what I can do in return... ideas?

Not a thing buddy. No sweat. Glad to do it.

OldWin

Yeah, she is a piece of work. Of course, George Soro's candidate running against her is 50 times worse. That's how she keeps her job. She may lose it this time though.

You're welcome OS! Anytime.

Griff,
Hold on buddy. Got some coming your way too. I didn't forget!

OldWin

Well...that's because YOU are MR JEEP.....a broken belt? Never heard of such a thing but I'm not an off roader like you.. Yep, you and me think alike, get our money's worth out of everything, even dangerous tires! By the way........ THANK YOU KRISTY!!!! pretty sure Jay gave you the responsibilities...

OldWin

Well, it's a big day. So last Friday, I had to run out to the middle boy's place with a 32' extension ladder. It was over to the old man's so I put it on Old Red cause it has a roof rack. Dad had said it had a "little shake" at low speed a couple weeks ago but I hadn't checked it out yet. I pulled o...

OldWin

Yeah. Give us a couple years to stock up on freeze dried food and other essentials before the final implosion.

OldWin

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Seriously?

Nothing gonna happen to any of em........ever.

OldWin

Jay, I've only kept a long gun loaded since I moved to TX... the ability to waylay coyotes in the pasture was the deciding factor for that. But... for the past year or two, I've kept an AR outside the safe, and at least 2 ready mags. Surprisingly, even the kindly old ladies that travel down our roa...

OldWin

Truth is, the 30-30 has way more power than 300BO inside 100 yards. But when it comes to a fight, with possible multiple opponents, I will give the edge to an AR based weapon. Light mounted, red dot, more capacity with quick reloads. May never need it. Hope I don't. But I'm not out anything by havin...

OldWin

You guys are crazy, home defense round??? Against what. Everybody wants to be a tactical "operator". When did this begin? About the late 80s I saw a fat rolly Polly guy in complete camo in a gun shop ... a disease of the mind. Home defense ... 1911 and a 30-30. Let's get real and out of fantasy lan...

OldWin

I can BARELY squeeze 200yd at my range. And then it's through a tunnel of trees with little light. Consequently, you (me, anyway) need a scope to see. I use 300 as a home defense round, but keep 5.56 as an EOTW cartridge due to its popularity. The same reason I use the AR instead of the AK as the ri...

OldWin

For me, it's the other way around. There aren't many 200yd shots around here. Most everything is close in my AO. As such, the 300BO and 7.62x39 have way more utility than 5.56. People do hunt with 5.56 here, but you will find most are sitting over a food plot, etc., where they have a very controlled...

OldWin

WHAT have you been smoking today man? :D Yeah, the 300 Whisper was around in the early 90s I think. I have been enamored with the little cartridge for a while now. It's really fun to play with. I can get 2450fps from the 110gr Barnes black tip pretty easy. Plenty to get the job done on deer to 150yds.

OldWin

Don't have a 300 BO. Right now is probably not the time to try to get one. After the war that the angry Libs start on November 4th is over, I will probably get one. Keep your powder dry. I think there are many ballistically superior chamberings for the AR. However, there are NONE as easy, versatile...

OldWin

Ran up to the range Friday to make sure the 300BO was zeroed. I gotta put a trigger in this thing! I bet it is the most accurate rifle I own. Strange, because 300 isn't known as a tack driver due to so many variables. I bought the upper several years ago because I got it cheap. It's a 16", pistol ga...

OldWin

Those are nice OS. Yeah, I like Colt hard rubber too.
Have them on a couple.

OldWin

Yes 00, it is a stainless Gaucho. Tried a couple types of ammo. My reloads shot reasonably well. Some commercial reloads more erratic. Or Six on the initial cylinder full I was more erratic. I normally don't like stainless on a single action, but I gotta say....that is pretty cool OS! Some nice ros...

OldWin

The masks have taught them that we will police ourselves.
Offer a 25 dollar Walmart card and people will rat out their own grandmother.

OldWin

Happy Birthday!
If you are 80 now, you lived through some pretty good times in the country.
If you were turning 8 now, I'm not so sure.

Enjoy the day.

OldWin

Hondo, I resurrected a thread from 2015, when I was searching for something else the other day and found this thread about the rifle I bought from Mainehunter. fordwannabe, Glad you got the 35-30/30 going! And scored with nice looking buck! Haven't been on site for quite some time. Between keeping ...

OldWin

Oh man! Yeah, I want Zero rank. How Six described work is pretty close to mine. Just a couple weeks ago, this snot nosed new supervisor kid gave me a hassle and swore at me. I waited 24hrs and went in his office and laid it out for him. Told him I gonna be swore at by someone younger than my kids. "...

OldWin

Yup. I could care less about people like that. Don't care enough to waste my time or breath on them. I could also care less about keeping up with people. I live in a house most people wouldn't even consider. Dont matter a bit to me. I own it, can heat it, and can manage it easily. Most people I work...

OldWin

I do the same thing! I am already planning my rifle for next year. It's ALL about the gun. I like fishing....but if I couldn't carry a gun, I wouldn't go. I do try and be careful of them though. Years ago, I only had so much time to hunt, so weather was less of a factor. Now, I take the whole season...

OldWin

I tell ya...everyday is a new adventure.......sit ting here in our "office" and looking out da rindow and i's notice somethin' different on a young tree I had growing to replace the ones that got blow away in de's tornado....Locust tree....it looked white so's I grabs de IPad and takes de walk........

OldWin

Oh oh! I think I got that Mexican disease.

OldWin

Hey Jay...it's NOT syrup...it's syriip......remember 3 stooges?.... OK, thanks Pal.......I'll take mine and Gunny's too.....Gunny don't need it ...he's busy working......talking about working, you better get back to it...I get two checks on the 15th and I don't want them to bounce nor do I want a r...

OldWin

Hey old buddy.
You staying outta trouble?
The wife picked up some syrup today to send my buds. She's good like that.

OldWin

Wow man........just......wow.

My first vehicle had a vacuum wiper......singular. On the drivers side. Passenger side had a handle inside to manually use it. But that one at least worked when going up hills.
Yeah, my old 59 Willis CJ, Festus.
Of course, I didn't have a top either, so.....

OldWin

That is a great movie. "You come far pilgrim." I think it would show to some degree on the stick, Griff. Either way, I'd get it out if it's been in it that long. I'd drain it without starting, put in new, run it a short while and change it again. But......I stress out over stuff like that. :D You be...

OldWin

Yup, I'm alive. Hey, those are some smokin' grips! I love the look of aged ivory, so it makes sense. I don't, however, like the price of ivory. Go with mostly stag now. Rotated out the mags on my house guns. Was overdo. Glock 21, PSA 10.5" 300BO, and a Colt M4 6920. Regular zombies are bad. Eat your...

OldWin

Wow! I never knew rhat about Will Geer.
Yeah. The commies won everywhere buddy.

It sucks that a lot of really good musicians are such pinko commies. Always leaves me in a quandry. I just try really hard not to buy their music.

Haha yeah. Wal-Mart's up here are like going to a circus freak show.

OldWin

That was Arlo Guthrie. Disclaimer....I was pretty sure, but I looked it up.

Hey! My name in lights.

Oh, and "ripped" means to take a vacation day or otherwise not go to work.
Truth to tell, I'm ready to "rip off" the rest of my life.

OldWin

Well. Was up to the lot till dark last night working on my last stand setup. It's WAY down in there. Decided to rip off from work last night. Loaded up 50rnds of 30-30 before bed. Got up this morning, ran up and finished the stand. Then hit the range and zeroed a couple more rifles. I'm fairly well ...

OldWin

Glad you are doing ok, fine Sir.

OldWin

Hey Rimfire, glad you are feeling better. I hear you with the kids. We have 3 sons, and yeah it gets pricey. However! As long as it's done right, its money well spent. All 3 of ours are grown, own their own homes, and make a better living than me. But the only thing they ask for now is dogsitting or...
