Bill I know Alamagordo, I interviewed at a shop there in town back in 93. I got the job but turned it down, low pay and I dont like HOT!
I was there over Easter break and it was in the high 90s, just too hot for my taste.

GunnyMack

Well Siberia is either east OR west of you...

Hey Bill now you can get to exploring the White Sands without worrying about getting lost!

GunnyMack

Oh heck take em all! Leave them in the truck and grab whichever suits the situation best.

GunnyMack

Enjoy your day at the range!

GunnyMack

Yes it "flew" in ground effect. Sure the simulations say it could fly but it did not get out of ground effect so I did NOT technically fly! I am not disagreeing its was a technological feat. It was also ridiculously expensive and Hughs more or less went nuts because of it. In the governmen...

Ground effect

Granted the Spruce Goose was tested over water but it's the same thing.

Green Mountain has levergun barrels but not sure of caliber offerings.

What exactly do you mean by cutting the bullet? Is it a feed ramp issue or from chamber?

Suppose I could use the .308 but man I can’t stand that rifle.

A set of hornet dies, box of Hornady Vmax, a pound of IMR 4227( MY GUN LOVES IT) and you can shoot a lot of yotes!

GunnyMack

Not a distance thing it's an elevation thing. Wilber & Orville gained altitude. The Goose didnt get high enough for the wings to make enough lift to climb, it stayed in ground effect( the cushion of air under the wings) so technically not flight.

GunnyMack

Go 458 or heck even 375 socom. Granted ya get more frontal & weight in 458 but the 375 might be a bit more pleasant to shoot.
I'd just buy the upper, might be able to give someone a spec sheet with what ya want.

GunnyMack

I wasnt knocking plywood, it was a brilliant solution to the war effort.
As for the Spruce Goose yes it looks like an airplane BUT it never got out of ground effect so it didnt actually fly... still an accomplishment for the time.

GunnyMack

I started with a Parker crossbow, axle holes in the cams were oblong in short order. It was slow, most deer hit in the spine from ducking the string. Upgraded to an Excalibur with 240 lbs of limbs to cock. A lot faster and no cams to wear out!

GunnyMack

Those will thump the snot outta a deer! I have a Browning BPS 10, I've only ever shot buckshot out of it, shot 1 deer with it, yearling at about 10 yds as it was running at me. Had to shoot in self defense! Face full of of 00 - only dental records would have helped ID it... just too heavy to carry a...

The Brits of that era could knock out some truly gorgeous airplanes, such as the Mosquito and the Hornet from de Havilland.

And they were plywood!

March Guns & Ammo has an article about the 350 legend.
Simply states the 350 is easy shooting, miserly uses powder, effective on deer from 13 -200 yds. The author likes it's mild recoil.

This was on a Snapple cap. I had to check it just to see it work- sometimes the Snapple trivia isn't accurate.

GunnyMack

It works out as
123,456,789,987,654,321

GunnyMack

What does
111,111,111 X 111,111,111 = ?

GunnyMack

No lube needed with carbide, they do speed up the process.

GunnyMack

It sure looks like honest wear, if it could only talk! I've often wondered how many fine doubles have been ruined by salt blueing.
Good score!

Did you change your handle?
Just saw an AR in 45ACP.

Now that is a very creative sundial! What a fun way to make use of ancient technology. But... how do you know what time it is after dark ?

Honestly you could sell that!

GunnyMack

Just watched a show on Smithsonian channel about a guy in MD bought a Spitfire in England, had it shipped here and is now flying it.

GunnyMack

Nice find!
I can hear Bill Murry now- DIE GOPHER!

GunnyMack

Usually the eagles around here are eating road kill deer. Brown body with pink heads.

GunnyMack

I've seen that before too. An owl is a smart critter- knowing the intestines don't have much in the way of nutrition they just unzip the victim and take the delectables. Old Peter cotton tail never knew what hit him. One of the great things about having snow on the ground , the evidence becomes clear.

GunnyMack

Now for a ROCK lobster & a ROCK game hen!

GunnyMack

That's got some thinking involved to use!

GunnyMack

I'll stick to watching the PUPPY BOWL!

GunnyMack

I have 2 different RWS, an old model 45, VERY accurate. Actually scary accurate- shoot a playing card on edge at 30' accurate. The other is a 350 magnum, with light pellets it will break speed of sound. It's not as accurate as the 45. I'm not fond of the trigger either. I'd say your old pump has pro...

Lemmings= dumbocrates... shouldn't this be in Politics pages?

Living in the NE humidor I much prefer the fall/ winter months. You can always put on more clothes to stay warm. During the summer when the humidity is at or near 90-95% is just miserable! Sweating is one thing but when you are wet from environmental reasons - yuck! I'll take the cold!

-10 c is 14f so you are cold too!

GunnyMack

Ah now I get it! You were the guy that came up with the PET ROCK back in the 70's weren't you!

That's great! Bet you could sell those to Cabelas.

GunnyMack

Yeah I have noticed that!
Also verboten in Nj are wrist rockets!

Maybe but not in NJ- a red Ryder is a FIREARM here, muzzle loaders too!

GunnyMack

You know it's cold when the snow squeaks!
Since Sixgun is up all night you would think he would come over and stoke the stove for ya!?

GunnyMack

What these people don't know/ tell the public is when the planet warms enough to melt the ice caps we will have another ICE AGE. Then they are gonna crab about us going extinct!

GunnyMack

And if you get one of the big bore guns they are hard to find places to refill tanks and the compressors for sale cost almost as much as the guns!

GunnyMack

And then bounced halfway back into the branches and back down! YUCK!

Yes but then all you get are Google ads!

If the LOP is good then just replace the plate, try to find an original. If it's short then put a pad on it. Otherwise you might need to cut the stock.

GunnyMack

100-101.5 is normal. But yes they are able to take cold better. Heck I knew a guy that would bring his horses into his shop to help warm it up, horses make lots of heat!

GunnyMack

I can remember one time while I was living in CO, the leonid meteor showers were happening. A bunch of us from school met at the gun club to watch. It was about -20. We had a grand time!

The only global warming is from all the leftist morons spewing copious amounts of hot air!

GunnyMack

Maybe but I doubt it... still bird hunting on weekends so unless it's raining I wont make the show. The girls have to earn their kibble.
Heck I dont even know when it is!

GunnyMack

Well I guess I'm guilty of animal cruelty- I make all 4 dogs sleep on 1 couch!

There ya go!
I checked GPC- nope, Jack First- nope( I knew better) .
Maybe there is something close that is available and just glass it in...?

GunnyMack

If the Eskimo's can thrive in brutal cold we can certainly deal with it much better- ya just need a buffalo coat!

Stay warm Lenn!!

GunnyMack

Time to start trolling the auction sites, gun shows and the like. Ya might get lucky, I did when I found a bolt for my little Winchester single shot 22, cost me more than a C note though!
