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

Paladin,
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...

always remember and never forget people in Britain are not free to exercise free speech. They have no Constitution or Bill of Rights.
I do wonder if I were to go to Britain and someone there read my posts here, made in the US could I be arrested?

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 ...

When you get old, you start looking for easier and smarter ways to do things. When my wife started needing a scooter I was pushing it up a set of ramps into the truck bed. Not hard but with my issues, probably not the smartest to do. But I have an old game hoist in the garage. The hoist goes into th...

https://drinklmnt.com/ This helped me...LMNT More Salt, Not Less. Loaded with electrolytes. Probably had levels. By the way, you could have your Doc do blood work and check your levels. One thing folks don't think about is CO2 level. If it's too low or high it can be a clue to some serious issues.

2nd on who made the leather.

jeepnik

Prayer sup, sir.

Sadly, not even revolution is an option. While there are a few guns in Great Britain, they are too few, and the army has you severely out gunned. Unless of course you can get the military on your side.

jeepnik

How's your hydration? Keeping properly hydrated (this seems to be an issue with us older folks) and taking enough supplements to maintain electrolytes, and in good balance not to much of anyone thing.

jeepnik

The Brits were pretty motivated to come up with weapons to combat U boats. If you think about it, for a country essentially under siege they came up with some good stuff. Not the least of which was the Merlin engine.

jeepnik

Exactly! I'm proud of my service as a Tank Commander but I don't advertise it. My son suggested I write up a paper about my experiences in the Army but I'd never write down most of what I saw and did at Cu Chi because I wish I'd never seen or done it. I took a page from my dad's book. I only tell t...

jeepnik

Are you kidding? Beyond the honeydo list I have enough stuff of my own to do. And prove I didn't have enough on my plate I recently got back into radio.

jeepnik

I've been given grief over my "Perfect Jeep Gun" because it's a .410 Mossberg 500. Not the Mossberg but the caliber (yea, that's right caliber). But I figure it's a great improvement on my previous Jeep gun, an AR-7. No problems with the AR-7, but it seemed a bit "light" for two ...

Yea, it can be just like the no call list. That worked out well.

jeepnik

The fellow with the 9410 loading issues got me to wondering. Has anyone ever made a lever gun that bottom loaded like shotguns? If not, why?

jeepnik

These sound like host issues. Possible the new host has oversold their service, not uncommon.

jeepnik

I hear tell a powerful enough transmitter can over power a remote transmitter.

jeepnik

First thoroughly clean it, paying attention to the loading gate area. Check for burrs on the loading gate where it would contact the shell in the tube. Buy a replacement spring, never know the original could just be out of spec. It would also give you a chance to maybe lighten the spring and still h...

Well, on the good side, although the building and inventory are a total loss, the building is a steel building and those go up pretty fast. If their manufacturing area wasn't impacted they can get back to producing powders. Temporary storage options are available. Powder Valley didn't produce any g...

Look like some of the H&R revolvers. Wonder what the action looks like.

jeepnik

The term "full battle rattle" came about for a reason.

In Hemingway’s home in Key West there’s a photo of him holding a Thompson Submachinegun. I have a book on Hemingway’s guns, and I need to look though it sometime. He may have used one in Spain during the revolution. Doubtful. Wasn’t in his job description. This photo was from much later in his life...

How about .45 colt shot shells. You'd have to be darned close, but it would be a doable snake gun.

jeepnik

On doves I usually use a 20 ga. with an improved cylinder. For quail I use a Mossy 500 in .410 with a modified. The modified mostly because that and a cylinder are all I have for the Mossy. It's a pre screw in choke.

It would be nice if there was a season on hackers. Unlimited bag limits!! Heck, I bet we have a bunch of retires SF guys and I know a few Marines that could deal with the problem. Just use the governments resources to track them down and send a team of old guys out to solve the problem. Folks will ...

jeepnik

Congrats. Now just keep busy. I have kept pretty much the same schedule of getting up and going to bed. I get up, the wife is still sleeping, I get stuff done.

jeepnik

Bill could I ask you a favor? Keep your eyes open for Pinyon ( pine) nuts. These were a staple for the native Americans, being part Washoe I grew up eating them every fall. Now that most of my family from Nevada/CA are gone and the local grocer retired AND the fires wiped out the Nevada/CA trees I'...

Jim, your mention of the desert after a rain is one of the reasons the Mojave is my happy place. It's still easy to get far enough away from people that the silence causes these old ears to ring at a deafening decibel level. You can look as far as the eye can see and not see anything man made that y...

jeepnik

Another youngster repeating what the "old" guys said generations ago. While folks say that condition zero is unsafe, I knew a couple of fellows who carried that way. Their mind set was, that's what the grip safety is for. I must admit neither of them ever had a problem. On the other extrem...

I'm slow, but I high suspect they aren't going to chemically euthanize anything they plan to use as food. Options are suffocation (like that isn't terrifying) or possible carbon monoxide (still not a pretty way to go).

jeepnik

Oh how spoiled we have become. Remember the days of 300bps modems and BBS'?

jeepnik

I've mentioned before, much to the chagrin of some here, my primary carry varies frequently. At times it includes the Officer's model. But it seems regardless of what type of handgun it is my back up is just that, an AMT .45 Backup. It always goes bang and unlike things like my Glock 42 or even 30, ...

jeepnik

As before, teething pains.

jeepnik

Yea, but did they, or is that only for tax purposes. Many business "lose" money all while making a nice profit.

jeepnik

I really wanted a left handed LeMay but very, very few were made. I ended up with a Colt Officers Model. It took a bit of breaking in, but it works fine now.
