I just ordered a pair from them. The price is minuscule given my gun is a tomato stake without them. For lack of a spring, I haven’t been able to shoot it for the past 5 years.

Surprised DeForest Kelly (Star Trek) and Russell Johnson (Gilligans Island) aren’t listed. They played a lot western roles then. Kelly was often a bad guy.

I wear 7 1/8, but am in agreement with your other gripes. Perhaps Blackwater can chime in with tips on shaping the headband part. I’ve employed hat stretchers that will take care of the fore/aft fit at the expense of making the amidships fit too wide.

I don’t understand “show the face of the faves”.

One of my favorite movies!!

Never heard of it until now. It’s available online. What flavor - cola, root beer…?

The “Stringbag” was a magnificent airplane.

I have with a broken spring after just a few rounds as well. It’s been sitting like a tomato stake for over 4 years now.

I heard him (Hodgdon) say that to a group of us a year ago. Not dissing him as their are factors he can’t control, but I’m not buying any time frame. To repeat myself from over the years, when I see it on a shelf, or someone on this forum says they’ve seen it with their own eyes, (not heard about it) I’ll believe it.

It was…. 😆

From Wiki: Ludovic Kennedy wrote in his history of the vessel that she "lived an invalid's life and died a cripple's death“.

What are the movies on the top row?

Where did you find the springs?

“…my friends all drive Porches, I must make amends…”

Dan Rowan of “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” flew one during the war against Japanese forces. He had 2 “kills” to his credit. He crash landed, injuring his back, but flew again. The injury bothered him the rest of his life.

Those that do have already been suspended or otherwise reprimanded by their schools.

It’s less about the schools than the fact there’s no functioning family that gives a d**n about those kids’ futures. Kids do well in school when supported by parents and family.

In this era of broadcast TV, commercial breaks are so long you can take a shower. The program is just filler between commercials.

We know how that worked out.

That’s what Chad thinks…

It says “indoor” next to 24%. We get ratios in Kansas City like yours, Rye!

You might be surprised - I hope! In our area I’ve seen them lash a temporary top pole to the original until they can plant a new one.

I wouldn’t know, but there’s a s***load more of the plains variety lying about that’s ripe for pickin’!

Out here in Kansas, we still live in sod houses and cook with buffalo chips… 😁

It was the ultimate battle rifle of its time - not so much so after 1945. The US was the only country during WW2 that issued its GIs with semiautomatic rifles. Edit: Redleg beat me to it. I had typed my response before reading his. 🫢 An excellent read: https://www.amazon.com/Shots-Fired-Anger-Riflemans-Guadalcanal/dp/093599842X
