Forty Rod SASS 3935

If anyone was stationed there, or knows of anyone who was, during this period, please get in touch with me. Best way is a message on this site. Gracias, danke, merci, and thanks. 4T

If he can't access it it's already lost.

My favorite is an A-1 with a flat mainspring housing. It's a Rock IsIand Arsenal gun that I have had worked over by David Fink at Gun Sight Academy. Removed almost all markings except serial number, caliber, and RIA under the slide forward of the trigger guard, new springs and guide rod, a very nice but not flashy civilian blue, double diamond walnut grips (because they just look so cool) and Novak tritium sights. It rides in a custom Ted Blocker holster and gun belt with two dual pocket mag pouches by Tagua and a Will Gormley rectangular buckle. It carries Hornady Extreme Defense ammo. My second carry piece is a Colt Government .380 with stock finish, double diamond grip, same internal mods as the .45, and same sights. I even use the same Hornady ammo design in it. It has a one piece frame with an arched housing (major job the change it, probably nearly impossible for most purposes), but on the smaller gun it feels right. I'm still looking for a larger safety lever and a decent holster and ammo pouches. I love Browning pattern pistols.

If you were just driving by and heard it ringing would you stop and answer it? OH HELL YES!!! I don't think I could stop myself!

Do the riders have to prove that they are females (should be obvious, but then....well) and Indians (not so obvious.) Sorry. My Smart Ass mode wasn't turned off.

I'd like to get a new Hawken .50. That got me started in ML the day after a friend and I saw Jeremiah Johnson at a drive in just a mile outside the Camp Lejeuene front gate. I gave it to my son and it was stolen, along with a Winchester 9422M and a Colt steel frame Scout in .22mag. that he got for Christmas when he was 13 years old.

Glad to see you're still in touch with Glen. Say "Hi" for me.

You laugh at me, Son, and I'm gonna find a picture of you and slap it silly. So there!

Looks about as practical as a barb wire jock strap. The Russians and Soviets leaned toward "bigger is better". Look at some of their airplanes.

PICKING NITS: IT'S NOT A 1911. IT'S AN A-1. If I didn't already have a few 11s and an A-Is, I'd get one. That's a great price.

That just makes me sad, but it's your money.

Still have my poker chip badge from one of the first night shoots at Chino, CA. I also have a couple of Prayer Posse badges left.

Find another way to contact the VFW, Bob..... and congratulations on getting out from under that Micky Mouse childish bunch of crap.

Johnny worked on my SKB 200E that I bought at the factory outside of Tokyo like twenty years before. I had the ejector springs reinstalled (I never used it for SASS and it was inconvenient for hunting) and the only other thing he did was a deep cleaning. The gun looks almost as good as new and it's for sale....but you can't afford it. If you meet my price it will go up before you can get your money out of your pocket.

I have a lot of hardware inside my bod and carry a lot more on the outside. JFWIW I weigh 201 pounds buck nekkid and 219 to 222 fully dressed and ready for town. Wedding ring, boots, jeans, belt with big silver buckle, shirt, skivvies and socks, pocket watch with chain and fob or a wrist watch, catheter bag and fixings, cash, keys, hearing aids, Life Alert gadget, trifold wallet filled with stuff, big ol' black hat, flip phone, eye glasses, falcon necklace, never fewer than three pocket knives, note book, felt tip pen, pistol and holster plus at least three reloads, and a small six compartment plastic box with essential medications. That's what I carry on my person. In the car I have several bottles of water, a hardwood cane / walking stick. a Rollerator stroller for emergencies, always a waterproof jacket and a heavier jacket because of our unpredictable weather, sun glasses, a "credit card wallet", (one of the handiest things I own), a big and a little flashlight. There's more, like three more hand guns and a carbine, etc., but I can't list it all. My back aches and my feet hurt...and I'm always tired. Go figure.

Be realistic. My head nurse pointed out that I was born in 1942 and "they don't make parts for those any more."

Mighty big man on a mighty small horse.

Yeah! He's worked hard at being a horses rearmost parts and here you go besmirching his image. I personally have a tenth degree black belt in Horses Ass an am working on a third degree belt in Napping. You him a salute and an apology. I like your way better than mine. I'll use it if you don't mind. Hell, Son, I'll use it whether you mind or not. That's me and my hard head. Thanks. 4T

Okay, I ordered a Waterline Buddy and a new filter from Amazon, checked to see if I had turned the temp down and now I wait until the 25th when Amazon delivers. They have a "hub" three miles east of me but sometimes have to get some items from further out. I've ordered some items at 0600 hrs and had delivery by suppertime. Thanks to all of you. 4T

With only a minor increase in effort they could have made that thing even uglier.

I relate to that. A new nurse at the VA looked my records and said "You were born in 1942. That maybe a problem because they don't make parts for that model anymore." I love my nurses.

Typically childish......from a former Naval Officer who worked on nuclear subs and pronounced nuclear "nookyooler".

I haven't set foot in a McDonald's since the Escondido Massacre and have walked out of more places than I can remember because of BS like this. Also I don't shop at places like Target who have openly and proudly stated their opinions on my Constitutional rights and support leftist politicians and do-gooder across the nation. If I find out in the store I don't even put whatever is in the cart it on a shelf before I walk out. Just leave it in the cart. I do get ahold of a 'floor manager" (who hasn't managed so much as bowel movement in his / her entire life) and "express my dissatisfaction" loudly enough to make sure everyone can hear.

They are born without brains. Every year we hear of kids and pets...and even one or two elderly folks who die in closed and over-heated cars. Horses and pets die it pastures without shelter from the sun and no food or water. These are all criminal deaths and the people responsible should be arrested and charged with manslaughter. If they are a parent they should be neutered, too and not a single one should be allowed to have so much as a doll or teddy bear in their possession or home ever again.

What difference does that make? The frozen meat aisle is clutterd with "plant based' non-meat" crap mixed in with real meats so much that it takes an extra hour to make sure you aren'g getting soy sirloin of some other vegititarian-vegan-hippy garbage. And I thought chemical additives and fillers were bad.
