Jay, I imagine that if your son were a civilian contractor rather than military, he would be bringing in the Big bucks for that sort of work. I hope the military takes really good care of him.

Walt

Scott, this is what I do to firelap my revolvers so they don't lead the barrel with cast bullets. I use lead bullets that are rounded all the way to the case mouths; no SWC because they just push the grinding compound out of the barrel. I load up 8 or 10 rounds using around 2 gr of Bullseye. Based o...

Walt

Jack, I kinda suspected it was a scam. I wish there was a way to prosecute the scam artists but the volume of dirtbags trying to trick people out of their hard earned money is just overwhelming.

Walt

Nice pictures, Jay! There's some truly majestic country up there. I really don't know much about warships, patrol boats, etc., but it always pleases me when the Navy or Coast Guard has vessels that can outrun the drug smugglers and other bad guys. Yeah, they think they have the best and fastest that...

Back in the fifties and sixties, hunting was considered an honorable pastime by what I'm certain was the majority of the country. Things are way different now; the liberal media has worked overtime to make Americans' perception of hunting as negative as possible. In Sarah Palin's case I would imagin...

Walt

Yep, Sarah Palin did exactly the same thing when she was running for VP. She showed pictures of bloody caribou and other game animals she and her party had killed, thinking that the American public reveres the strength of character that must indicate. Well, the people of this country are much less t...

Most of my growing up years were in a very small school, about 300 kids from 1st to 12th grade. My family moved to the city and my graduating class in '68 was made up of over 3,000 kids. Even at that time there were "competitions" to see who could put an adversary into the hospital for a l...

Walt

Scott, you may be aware that Accurate Molds will make up almost any design of bullet mold you want and in whatever dimension you request. Their promise is that the bullets that come out of their molds will be no smaller than your specifications but may be up to .002 larger....they ask you to detail ...

Walt

Fred, tomorrow is supposed to be the coolest day of the past week. The high is forecast to be 56° but then it'll warm up into the high 60s and low 70s for the next week or so. This is the windy season for us but it hasn't been teeribly bad (yet). But even if the wind blows, we still have beautiful b...

Hey Six, come shootin with me!

The Home Depot store where I normally do business locks their bathroom doors because they have instances of people shooting up in there. There's an old guy who helped us with our kitchen remodel whose job it is now to unlock the bathroom door for anyone who says they need to go. I spoke with him bri...

Walt

Jay, from the size of the trees on the abuttment, it's been a while since it was useable.

Thanks for the pictures!

Walt

I like using the Lee Factory Crimp Die on most of my pistol calibers but found that it does not work for .45 Colt bullets sized to .454 because the collet is made to crimp no more than .452 diameter. Since I prefer seating and crimping as separate operations, I ordered a new, additional seating/crim...

Walt

Scott, I don't know if bullets from Lyman molds are generally available from custom casting businesses or if you cast your own but my best answer to your question is that I've found that the Lyman 452664 has almost the same size meplat as the 270SAA, has a very generous grease groove, weighs in at 2...

Walt

There are stories of police officers involved in chases shooting their AR-15 through their windshield. That first shot to break through the glass must result in an eardrum-shattering blast but it appears that subsequent shots are fired with the muzzle out through the window. I doubt that this is acc...

Walt

Well, sometimes doing something you loathe is the only way to achieve a goal.

Enjoy yourselves and be safe.

Walt

If the result of shooting super high velocity, lightweight bullets like from a .220 Swift or a .264 at game animals frequently results in massive surface wounds but little penetration, then my guess is that similar results would occur shooting a large diameter, lightweight bullet. It wouldn't be sur...

Walt

Yep, I agree with you, Vall. As much as I enjoy my .44 Specials, I love my .45 Colts even more.

Walt

I was a low-level manager for a few years with the company I retired from after 43 years and during that four year period I flew an estimated 525 times, frequently four or six times a week. Flying out over the mountains I love, it made me sick at heart to be on a darned airplane instead of tramping ...

Walt

Bill, I'm surprised he could hear even a single word you said.

Walt

When I bought my .44 mag and .45 Colt Bisleys years ago they were available only in blue and came only with 7 1/2" barrels. I had gunsmiths shorten the barrels to 5 1/2" and I've been very pleased with them. Having steel grip frames, they are more comfortable to shoot than standard Blackha...

Walt

Nice work, Jay.....it looks goodern new! Thanks for the pictures.

Walt

Yeah, is that you on the right side or the left?

Walt

Happy birthday to your daughter and congratulations to you both! Best wishes.

Thanks for the picture!

Walt

You have good taste, Fred. I have a model 24-3 just like that. I did have to put a taller front sight on it. In fact, I shot it at steel gongs just yesterday.

Walt

There is a commuter train that runs from about 40 miles south of Albuquerque to Santa Fe which is about 60 miles north of Albuquerque. It has happened on several occasions that the train has hit a cow while crossing Indian land. After all the thumping, the train stops, the rail employees get out and...

Grade 8s only achieve their strength rating when torqued to a specific value, however they are more brittle than grade 5s and tend to break where movement is allowed.

Since Obama was president when Biden was at the height of his corrupt dealings, it seems highly unlikely that he wasn't aware of what was going on. Of course, Obama was shielded by his "iron curtain"; the ability of the libs and the "news" media to scream RACIST at the first hint...

Ha ha ha.....now tell us how you Really feel.

Dave, I hadn't seen you on the forum for a while. I hope all is well....glad you're back.

That must be a country club.

Years ago when our kids were maybe 3 and 5 years old, my wife and I drove out to Anaheim to watch the New Years Eve fireworks show at Disneyland. We got there at about 11:00 PM and the place was already packed. We thought that if we got into the park farther, we could get away from the worst of the ...

Walt

Fred, you'll probably think I lead an exceedingly boring life but I don't own a TV, I don't attend anything that involves crowds of people. Does that make me antisocial? Probably a bit, I suppose. There are so many things I love to do that don't involve other people, except no more than I can count ...

Walt

Great pictures, Griff.....thanks!

Walt

Thanks, Grizz! I seldom ship guns but I'll remember the advice the next time I do.

Walt

OS, what's the difference between watching a great big screen from a distance and watching a small one up close? Living in SoCal you must have no problem with crowds of people around you. I lived in Escondido for about 17 months in the middle 70s. I used to shoot at a range near Lake Wohlford which ...

Walt

I have passed on several Jerry Miculek model 625 Smiths but in hindsight I think they're probably pretty nice guns.

Walt

Very nice indeed....and I love the grip. Nicely done!

Walt

Beautiful gun, YK! Very nice and I've always found the birdshead grip appealing. (never owned one though).

Walt

That model 97 especially is very impressive. Thanks for the pictures, Jim!

Walt

Looks like a nice area. A walking stick is always a good idea on slick rocks. I hope you guys are doing well, Fred. Thanks for the pictures.

Walt

Great pictures, Six! Let the invasion begin....won't need to mow as much!

Walt

Jay, I have a friend who used to organize group snow rides on New Years Day in the mountains. Knowing that most of the people he invited wouldn't show up, he'd invite 20 or 30. There were times when a bunch would show up, a number of them with 2wd ATVs. That was always a pain because we would end up...

Walt

Thanks, guys! Yep, my wife is an exercise nut just because she loves it and it makes her feel good. She exercises here at home and also for work for hours every day. She runs a fitness/wellness program for about 65 civilian (non-military) police officers who provide security for Sandia Nat'l Labs. I...

I think the tar removers are generally just kerosene in a can.

Walt

His right arm looks like it's up there somewhere.

Walt

Try a powerful water-based degreaser like Dawn dishwashing soap first. I have often just used brake cleaner for tough tar spots on my truck, flushed with water and then re-applied wax. No harm done.
