Do not forget about the width of the forend. Barrels get hot. Narrow or splinter forends do not help with that.

Pale Wolf, you have been in my prayers. I hope they work.

That is cool. I'll bet if you posted this to CNN or MSNBC some Goomba would run with as an Alien Helicoptor Sighting or a new military aircraft...or somesuch nonsense.

Simon Bond - Ya gotta love his sense of humor. :lol:

That's because of the speed of the wheels spinning and the speed of the film running in the camera. The optical frequency would make the wheels appear to be spinning backwards...or were you joking

40 miles? Wow, I would have thought less than that.

Wild Willi, I love my Winchester 94's but I would never try that. It would be really costly. Cheaper to buy one, even a collectible one.

Merry Christmas and thank you 😊

Souvenirs are nice. Of course I have never received a "participation award" but it would be nice to get one. It's the thought that counts. Somebody went to the trouble of making them up or having them made. That is very cool.

Didn't they recently legalize marijuana there? Someone is definitely high...or dumber than a bag of hammers...

Thanks Jabez Cowboy.

Rooster, that was kind of what I was thinking. I have always worn glasses but these past few years I am kind of max'd out on magnification for my glasses so I need all the help I can get. :-)

My answer to the title of your post: Cause it wants to die?

Well, I finally got my Rossi 92. It's got the 24" octagon barrel. It's used but it's in great shape, just as Kid Rich, the Pard I bought it from said it was. Thank you Kid Rich! :-) It is smooth. He said it was a little slicked up and I might want to replace the springs but I am gonna shoot it a bit before I do anything with it. Gotta send for Nate Kiowa Jones' video. I will also be getting one of those plugs for that safety. Man, what a hokey design that is. It has a flat top rear sight. The jury is out on that for now. I find that I have to search for it when I bring the rifle up as if I am shooting it. It may be just fine but again, I will shoot it a bit first. I may like it. I am stoked anout my new rifle. Thank you all for your advice and input. I do appreciate it. Kindest regards, Pat Riot

Hilarious. Thanks.

Lee's Gunsmithing and the shop owned by Lee Fisher are 2 different businesses. Google it.

Perhaps this will help: http://www.cowboyshootingstore.com/Gun_Tuning_Spring_Kits_s/81.htm Found this. I know nothing about him.

Also, a smaller dojo will cost more...sorry

Sounds like Tae-Kwon-Do. If my child wanted to take Karate I would look into a Japanese or Okinowan discipline like Shorin Ryu. Or MMA that doesn't put all of it's emphasis on kicks and leg work. Especially for girls and women. Why? Because a woman should learn to defend herself up close as well as fend off and attacker at "leg length". I have tangled with many a man that used Tae-Kwon-Do (spelling?). Once you get in close to them and they can't kick you can dominate the fight easily. That being said you should know that the first year or so of training is all basic stuff especially at only 2 times a week in classes. Emphasis is on stances, basic moves and discipline. If she were in any Japanese style class she would spend a lot of time in stances throwing punches. They have to learn muscle control, balance, self-discipline first then they can move up in training. What looks silly and useless to the observer is important for the basics. Also, often people discount the basics as a waste of time as it looks useless but any student that has the self discipline and desire to succeed in the sport will do it over and over and it will show the instructor that they have the desire and the fortitude to be worthy of instruction.It's not a one way street. A good instructor isn't going to waste time on a "belt collector" but many somewhat unscrupulous ones will, chasing that all mighty dollar. I would look into the awards and wins of the people running this "dojo" and especially those they have trained. Do a search of competitions and look at their standings and accreditation. Do the same with any self defense discipline. Just because some joker has won some fights / matches doesn't mean they are a good instructor. Also, regarding things like MMA, just because the instructor served in the military or was in an elite force also does not mean they are a good instructor. Look into the accomplishments of those that they trained. That goes for all fighting disciplines. My 2 cents...and no, I never earned a black belt. I did earn confidence, discipline and self awareness. I had an awesome instructor that wasn't about belt standings. I have beaten a few black belts in my time at matches though but that was many years ago and those stories are for another time. This is about your daughter and what you want that is best for her. One final thought (my opinion). It sounds to me like this is more of a karate hobby shop. I would look for a smaller dojo with a dedicated instruction staff. One that is about the discipline not the belts and larger classes. Regardless of the style, Japanese, Chinese, or Korean, your daughtrr will do better. Get her started on the right path. She can decide what style or discipline fits her later on once she has a very good understanding of herself and her capabilities.

Braid it and forget it...

Gee, I have wished similar hexes upon Ford and Chevy engineers for various and similar reasons. Ya think it's a "conspiracy"?

I have tried most of the mags out there but the Ruger mags are the best...But, that HC Mags set up is the coolest I have ever seen in this regard. I may have to try that out. Thank you Al Overa.

The 2 I have now are both pound dogs. All my dogs bit onehave been.

I personally feel that anyone convicted of a crime worthy of the death penalty beyond any reasonable doubt should be vanished. Presented upon sentencing to a team of men in black and whisked away in an unmarked vehicle never to be seen or heard from again. No prison. No family or friend interaction. Nothing. Think of the psychlogical aspects of that. One is sentenced then one is gone...forever. How do they vanish, what happens to them you ask? Who cares. They are gone. No what ifs. No BS. Just gone.

I was just mentally transported back to my childhood. Sunny days in the park near the college in my home town. Thank you
