I can see it now (queue wavy lines)
A bunch of cowboys decide to have an impromptu shooting match on a Sunday afternoon at the ranch.
Seth pulls out his brand new pistols and fires at a tin can. The noise makes all the other cowboys jump.All of a sudden everyone is concerned Seth blew up holid gun and he just smiles and says “Boys, this is the all new three five seven Magnum! It’s the most powerful handgun in the world. It’ll blow a man’s head clean off…”
”Well it ain’t no .45!”
”Is that your sister’s gun? No real man would shoot anything less than a .44!”
”Hey Billy, show Seth a real gun would ya. Show him that Colt Single Action you got that fires gawd’s own .45 Colt round!”
”Hey Seth, the ranch boss will skin you alive if you don’t get a .45. He wants MEN with guns, not boys with newfangled toys…”
Laughter abounds
Moral of the story - no matter what anyone comes up with there’s always a bunch of yahoos that think .45s are better than anything else.
Just watch….3….2….1….

Oh yeah. That’s not windy. It was so windy in the North Atlantic we turned off our nuclear engines and let the wind against the super structure take us right to Europe. We beat the SST there by an hour.

What really ticks me off in today’s society is there are so many scammers doing so many different scams and the so-called authorities do not do crap about it. Nothing! If they are, they sure aren’t letting anybody know and it sure ain’t putting a dent in the scammer culture.
I’d like to put some dents in the scammer culture…not very big ones, but very fast ones…

To allow disassembly of the bolt, i.e. removal of the firing pin.
Really? That’s cool!

Any holes in the ground near your fence?
The dog could have burrowed in.

Thanks Dave.
I have been asked what that metal disc was for on some Mausers. I never knew, until today.

As long as a rattler isn’t on my turf I am okay with them. Only snake I would go out of my way to “Widderize” is a Water Moccasin.
Generally, I leave snakes alone.

I tried that. No one else in my family would. It tasted pretty good, if I remember correctly. Kind of oily, but that may be because of the oil in the can.
I also had rattlesnake at a restaurant in Pittsburgh, of all places. It was grilled. It tasted pretty darn good. I am pretty sure it was a “Special” meal of the day.
I do recall the waiter making a fuss over me “This little kid will try it but grown men shudder at the thought of eating rattlesnake.”Which ticked me off - who are you calling “little kid”?
The owner and the chef came out to see what I thought and how I liked it. I felt like some kind of Big Wig in my 8 year old brain. I do recall the owner making apologies that the rattlesnake meat had been frozen.-

Nope!

His work is incredible! Thanks Joe.
That chipmunk and rattlesnake walking stick is amazing. I don’t use walking sticks but how could you not use one of those? Heck, just the stick and the chipmunk would be impressive art.

I can guarantee wind any time I go to the range to practice or compete in 50 yard .22 benchrest.
Our range is on a hillside overlooking a valley.
I spent 10 months at the Great Lakes Naval Training Base list outside Chicago right next to Lake Michigan. I freakin’ hate wind!

Imagine there are no railroads.
Now imagine trying to drive anywhere on the highways completely packed with semi trucks.
Now imagine dedicated truck highways all over America.Now imagine camping or fishing or hunting and hearing the far off cry of Jake Brakes morning, noon and night.
Now imagine Pat Riot saying #%$& that!

An AOW is a classification of guns under the National firearms act of 1935. AOWs have to be registered with the ATF. You have to pay a transfer tax every time one is sold.
The shockwave is a "firearm".
It is not a rifle, because it does not have a rifled barrel. It is not a shotgun, because the shotgun is designed to be held to the shoulder. And it is not a pistol because, again, it does not have a rifled barrel.
But since it is over 26 inches in length it does not fall under the jurisdiction of the national firearm act, and since it is neither a rifle nor a shotgun no a pistol the only thing left is it is a "firearm".
But it is not an any other weapon.
See Texas Joker’s post and look it up.

Probably like with rifles, most are 16 1/4.
Rifles are 16” minimum to be “legal” as rifles without a tax stamp.
Shotguns are 18” minimum to be “legal” as shotguns without a tax stamp.
Shockwaves with 14 3/8” and classed as “Any other weapon” under Federal regs. Per Mossberg.

Hey Irish Pat, can I get a leg? How about a wing?
I have only eaten rattlesnake once. I thought it tasted more like chicken.

I’m waiting for the ATF to go away so I can chop my coachgun without paying a useless tax. But I am not holding my breath on this.
I guess I should have bought a Shockwave when the prices weren’t so stupid.
I sold all my shotguns except for my Stoeger Coachgun. I don’t need any more.
There are only 2 listed with 18.5” barrels.

I was told the pistachios from India and Persia were dyed red to cover the stains on the shells from the skin oil of the picker’s fingers. They are salted by running the nuts in their shells through a salt slurry solution.
Not sure if that’s true, but makes sense.

According to their website they are in North Carolina. But according to FedEx's website the stuff is coming from California. Drop shipped from Winchester direct???
Interesting. What company?

Thanks Marshal.
I love elephants.
Humans do something similar. At least human mothers do. Gather the young, keep them safe.
If you’ve ever been in an earthquake Moms and most women will strive to protect children. Men will strive to protect the women.
I should say most Moms, women and men. There are many that are just too stupid to protect themselves, let alone children or anyone else.

You are buying from a business in California?
I think I am going to go to the store and get a few things before the world ending event occurs.

Strange dog
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Forty do you think someone may have put the dog in your yard knowing you would take care of it? Instead of leaving it on the street somewhere they figured you would be good to it?
