  1. I have two Shilohs. One in 45-110 and one 38-55. Love them both dearly.

     

    I prefer the rifle with the pistol grip. The straight stock is somewhat awkward on the wrist for extended shooting sessions.

     

    I must say though that Shiloh does not make their own barrels for all rifles. When I bought my last one in 38–55, I called the factory and they said they were waiting or in the barrel to arrive from the manufacturer. It did kind of irritate me since their website still says that they do make all their own barrels.

     

    I don't shoot long-range with the rifles so can't comment on sight selection.

     

    Being a Shiloh owner, I cannot say a bad thing about the C Sharps rifles either. They are beautiful works of art and I have heard nothing but good things from those who own them. It comes down to who has what features that you like, at what price

    , and what delivery time.

  2. I'm wanting to fix up a steampunk hat with either a bowler or tophat as the basis. This won't be used a lot so I'm hoping to not spend a lot of coin on it, and thought maybe one of our SASS costumers has a closet queen hat that they'd be willing to part with for sale or barter. I make fun cutting boards and wood utensils that I can offer on my end.

     

    Condition doesn't have to be perfect as it will get extensive mods.

     

    My hat size is 7-5/8. I can go bigger if needed and just put in a thick liner. Smaller presents a problem.

     

    I appreciate any assistance the SASS family can offer

  3. I first read that headline and wondered, "Why is this news? There are still seven engines left to fly home on."

     

    Then I ready the article and learned that an entire engine pylon departed the aircraft and landed on its own in a North Carolina field. That only leaves six engines and some questionable structural elements to get the crew back to base.

     

    :o

     

    I'll betcha some flight suits had to be washed after that mission.

  4. I know that functionally one is designed to reduce the visibility of burning particles outside the muzzle and one is designed to reduce the noise signature.

     

    But I've seen and used a number of noise suppressors that also nearly eliminate flash, and it seems that a robust flash suppressor might also mitigate some sound intensity.

     

    Given that one requires extensive paperwork and registration, and the other is a simple screw-on device that can be bought anywhere, I was wondering what the legal distinction would be.

     

    If someone is building a custom flash suppressor, at what point does it become a noise suppressor and require registration? I searched the ATF web site to no avail.

     

    This feels sorta like an Alpo question, but it's truly been on my mind lately.

     

    I appreciate any insights the Saloon (ACS) might offer.

  5. My wife and I moved to east Tennessee five years ago from Ohio and have really enjoyed it. Nice weather, friendly people, lots of national forests and the Smoky Mountains, a healthy economy, and lower home prices and taxes.

     

    We live in Maryville, TN just south of Knoxville and within spitting distance of the Smokies.

     

    But it's hard to go wrong looking at almost any town from Chattanooga and Cleveland (TN) in the south, Knoxville in the middle, up to Johnson City and Bristol on the north end.

  6. Those young men are feeling very good tonight! First Navy, then a bowl win!!!

    Go Army!!!!'

    First time since 1984 that Army beat both Navy and a bowl opponent (Michigan State) in the same year. I was lucky enough to be at both games.

     

    Next year should be good too.
