  1. I think the first batch of rifles released for sale to the public are either going to be really really good or really really bad.  Hopefully Ruger can overcome the damage Remington did to the Marlin brand. At least you can't fit a dime between the stock and receiver.  Let us know how well it shoots.  That's the true test.

  2. Short stroking your pistols is a fairly expensive project.  Have you shot any short stroked Rugers yet?  

     

    Mine are short stroked and I think I'm a little faster with them but it may just be in my head.  The Super Blackhawk hammers do make cocking easier because you don't have so far to reach.  A good gunsmith can make those Rugers a real pleasure to shoot.

  3. Is the application going to be;  register and  pay by credit card on line or print out the application, write a check and mail in the application?   

     

    The reason I ask is because we are leaving on a camping trip that day and I won't have access to a printer.  I may have to adjust our departure time if I have to wait to print the application at home.  You see how complicated this retirement is.  So much to get done, so little time.

  4. I'll be glad to help with the ways of the Gunfighter.  I have seen you shoot many times and you do have potential.  I would recommend getting your left hand an eye exam.  I found that mine was a little near sited.  However, I have to warn you.  Once you start down that path, it will be very difficult to go back to your squaw grip'n ways.   The path of Gunfighter has many forks.  Take one fork and there will be black smoke that no one can see through.  Take yet another fork and you will give up using your sites and shoot everything from the hip.

    That sounds like a blast! Next year will be hectic with moving to Alabama (Cullman area) to be closer to the kids, but definitely going to add that to my list for the next year. I may finish last, but it sounds FUN!

    Welcome to the South.  Cullman is just down the road from the North Alabama Regulators.  Be sure to check them out when you get settled in.  They host the Alabama State Match and the S.E. Regional.

  6. Don't worry. I won't lose any sleep over it. But in case any of you feel the need, the following is from the Go Fund me page for the "deceased armed robber".

     

    Donovan was called home on December 26, 2016. This is a very tragic and unexpected blow for the family. He was very loved by the
    community and family. We are asking for friends , family and anyone who had love for Donovan. To help out any way they can. Everything is greatly appreciated.
    Help spread the word!
  7. Pretty much any sound bar will be a vast improvement over the tv speakers. The flat screen tv's do no have enough room in them for the thicker speakers that bass requires. We bought a sound bar for about $79 and it made a lot of difference. You can spend as much as you want on one.

  8. They are also stealing manhole covers. Often with the utility or city name on them. The scrap metal dealers don't seem to care. We had problems several years ago with people going into foreclosed houses and stripping the wiring and copper plumbing out. They would destroy the house in the process to get several hundred dollars worth of scrap metal. They were cutting catalytic converters off of certain types of SUV's for their titanium content and pulling the wiring out of light poles on the interstate. There is no end to the ways someone will go to make a crooked dollar.

  9. I'm glad to see that Craftsman tools is establishing a market outside of Sears and Kmart. Those two boats are sinking fast. Craftsman makes some fine hand tools. I hope they survive. As far as Sears and Kmart, well, I'll never miss them.

  10. I retired at 55 years and 3 days. From the looks of things, I got out just in time. Now I spend my time camping, cowboy shooting and taking naps. Pensacola this Winter, Yellowstone next Summer and Key West next Winter. I've got to go qualify Thursday so I can keep my nationwide carry rights. Busy, busy, busy.
