These were taken by my good Friend Dennis. He was on the bank of the Current River in Doniphan Mo.
It's a time sequence from beginning to end shot with a low power telescope. On the shots taken with a solar filter you can see a couple of sun spots.
First some general pictures.
Krispy Kreme Eclipse doughnut.

I'm pretty sure the scope is a Trijicon VCOG. Although the scope in the OP's picture has some sort of logo on the side of the tube.

I was dumb and got a 16" R92, it cycles 357 mag just fine, but only holds 8, I can get 9 38 spl in (which I could live with) but it doesn't cycle them well at all. From what I have read there are smiths that *might* be able to get it to run 38's but some just don't no matter what. I have tried most things you can find recommended and the next step would be sending it off, but at some point it should just be allowed to live it's life as what it is and get replaced with a better tool for the job
That 92 loaded with .357 magnums will make a great truck gun.

You will never get a 16" 38/357 R92 to work properly for CAS. Even with an action job you will never get it to hold more than 8 rounds and cycle properly. Watch a shooter spend a lot of time and money trying to make one work. Eventually he gave up and got a rifle better suited to CAS.
You can make a R92 with a 20" barrel work very well for CAS. I've been shooting one since I started and it runs flawlessly after a proper action job and ammo of the correct OAL.
I am by no means a top shooter. I usually finish middle of the pack. However starting with rifle staged and hands on hat I can shoot two identical 5 shot sweeps in about 5 seconds. Which is not too shabby for an old fat man that doesn't practice.

A properly sized squib rod and a pure lead round ball will remove annularly split cases.

Just me but I prefer to not use spur chains or any other kind of tie down on my spurs. That way they can move up if I happen to catch one on a step. Makes them less of a trip hazard on steps or stairs.

I'm shooting both .38 and .357 with a compressed load of BP and don't have any issues with excessive blow back in my R92. Bullet weights run from 130 to 158

I’ve recently tried some other’s black powder lubed bullets. They have a regular lube groove, but BP friendly lube. I have to run a wet patch through my rifle after every stage. When I use Big-lube bullets, I don’t have this issue. Do I NEED big-lube bullets? Maybe not, but they work perfectly for my purposes!
And I don’t WANT to shoot APP! It is a fine substitute, but isn’t the same as real BP.

How long is your rifle barrel? With non-Big Lube bullets lubed with SPG and a 20" barrel I don't have any issues.

Actually no it’s not came from an official Navy social media post . And let’s just say even the Marines are roasting them for it .
I'm saying that it was photoshopped by someone before it was officially posted via social media not after the fact.
I have never seen anything other than an ACOG that had an integral mount. That scope doesn't look like any ACOG I have ever seen. Found a picture of the scope it is a Trijicon VCOG. Still when you blow up the picture the scope appears to be attached to the receiver and it appears to also be mounted to the handguard rail as well.That is what makes me so sad that someone within the Navy thought it was a good idea to photo shop the picture and then allow it to be posted it to the Navy's social media page.
I guarantee that somebodies derriere is going to end up explaining this to the old man and they are going to regret doing this.

He wanted to shoot one of those”Arrrrr” rifles.
Obviously photo shopped, No scope rings plus other inaccuracies.
Some Photographers Mate is going to find out what its like to scrub bilges with a tooth brush when Cmdr Yaste tracks them down. Commanding officers don't have a sense of humor when they are the subject matter. Especially, when the photo of them was released via official Navy channels.

Photo is obviously photo shopped. Notice there are no scope rings among other obvious inconsistencies.
The part that makes me sad is that it was not caught before being released via official channels. Yes this photo was released via official channels just as it shown by the OP
Wonder how long it will take before Cmdr Yaste tracks down the idiot that thought it would be funny to do this. Ship COs are not known for their sense of humor. Especially at their expense.

What is a TC.. mold #?
Truncated cone. They are all I use in my 38 and 357. I like the 125 gr personally.

Best results are with the cartridges that Winchester developed for the rifle: .44 WCF (.44-40), .38 WCF (.38-40) and .32 WCF (.32-20).
Of the three, the .44-40 (rifles and ammo/components) is the most readily available.
THIS ^^^
Right behind these is .38 / .357

I have this light. 10,000 lumens. 12 volts. Bright as hell.
You push the button and you get this 10,000 lumen light. You push the button again, expecting it to go off, and it goes down to 5,000 lumens. You push the button again, hoping that it will now go off, and it becomes a strobe.
I guess I should consider myself lucky it only has those three light patterns, and doesn't also have different colored lights.
But if I turn the light on and I wish to turn it off I got to push the button three more times.
Do people like that?
I have a little pocket flashlight. Well, actually I've got a couple of dozen of them. Because they are so neat, and so inexpensive, that I just keep buying them and sticking them here and there and everywhere. And when you push the button the light comes on and when you push the button again the light goes off.
Boy that's nice.
I got an ad in my email this morning for a rechargeable pocket flashlight, that has a high beam and a low beam and a strobe. Why?
The other day I was trying to do something and I didn't want to disturb anybody, so I had my little pocket flashlight kept in my hand, and it was on but barely any light was creeping out through my fingers. Let me see what I was doing without disturbing anyone. The equivalent of turning this 500 lumen light into a 50 lumen light, without adding a separate switch.
And in all the years I've had that bright light, I have never felt a need for the strobe.
Logic says that the idiots that make flashlights put all these features in them because either the customers want them, or the idiots think the customers want them.
So do you want multi features in your flashlight? Or do you just want it to turn on and off and make light?
If you want to get rich. Sell people something they don’t need by making them think they can’t live without it.
