  1. Yep I remember being surprised seeing sea going ships so far from the ocean. You should check out the Port of Lewiston. While the lion's share of the traffic there consists of super massive barges that dwarf those in the Mississippi River. I have seen a cargo ship or two on my travels through there. It's really weird seeing an ocean going ship that far inland.
  2. It's weird seeing sea going vessels that far inland.
  3. Unless they are from a Taqueria, most fast food places do not have good tacos. You should try them from a good mexican restaurant / Taqueria.
  4. Had one of these for use on the flight line when I was stationed in Spain.
  5. Remember these from the movie Big Jake?
  6. 125 grain 38 specials loaded to factory COAL will not run well in a Rossi 92. This is because the cartridge guides are a compromise between 2 different cartridge overall lengths. Because of how the action works, this compromise causes 38 special length ammo to have feeding issues when loaded with light weight bullets. With proper action tuning 38 specials loaded with 158 grain bullets will work. This action tuning requires modifications to the LH cartridge guide and proper spacing/alignment of the RH cartridge guide. Springs alone will not correct feeding issues. Yes a good machinist could modify a 92 to run 38 special length ammo flawlessly but would be cost prohibitive and would mean that the rifle would not feed 357 length ammo. Just like a Marlin, a 92 can be short stroked if you're willing to shell out the cash. However just like a short stroked Marlin it would be restricted to a very narrow range of cartridge lengths.
  7. Choice Ammunition is a SASS affiliated merchant. They also own Chey-Cast bullets. Unlike many other ammo makers, their Cowboy Action ammo is specifically for Cowboy Action and is loaded to the same velocities many CAS shooters load their own ammo to. They sell ammo in all the common CAS calibers including 38-40 and 44-40
  8. Do the math. depending on how many matches you plan to shoot a reloading setup will pay for itself pretty quickly.
  9. In your Rossi 92 you'll likely need to shoot .357 vice 38 specials. most 38 special length ammo in a 92 action tends to stove pipe or have other feeding issues when run fast. You won't know until you try, but I would test fire a couple boxes of 158 grain 38 specials and see how they feed cycling the action as fast as you can. I would also try the .357 ammo loaded with both 125 gr and 158 grain bullets and see which feeds better. For your pistols either the 105 or 125 grain loads will work well. Because the bullet profiles are different for the different 38 special bullet weights you won't have any issues telling them apart. I've been shooting 92's for about 10 years. In all I have set up 6 Rossi 92's. Those that I have set up would feed 125 grain 38 specials with zero issues IF the COAL was 1.505" to 1.510". any shorter and I would have feeding issues. To get this length the bullets are not crimped in the crimp groove and I had to adjust my loads from what most people use to allow for the increased case volume. They will also run .357 ammo with bullet weights between 130 and 158 grains with no issues. I used the video sold by Nate Kiowa Jones at www.stevesgunz.com
  10. Before she passed my late wife and I would often stay with her Aunt when we went to see her family. Her Aunt was always waiting on me hand and foot. Made me uncomfortable as that is now I was raised. I never got used to it but her Aunt grew up in a different time than I did. My wife and I were equal partners although it took her several years before she allowed me to do things like laundry. Mostly because I didn't do it the way she wanted. I was also banned from the kitchen as I was too messy.
  11. I suspect the issue would be because you are adding a lot more detergents than normal. Especially if said detergents contain anti-bacterial additives. If you are on a septic system you should not use antibacterial soaps. Septic systems need bacteria to work properly.
  12. Saw a few done the same way when I was in highschool. It was a popular project for high school welding class. All I remember were made of heavy wall 4 or 6 inch diameter pipe. Never saw one with a Schrader valve. All of the ones I saw had the same female air hose fittings you would find on an air compressor or air pig. To protect the fittings one end cap would be recesses and protected with a screw on cap or a short pipe nipple with a threaded cap would be welded on in a convenient location. To fill it a male to male adapter was used so that a standard air hose could be connected. A 25ft accordion air hose behind the seat or in the bed tool box was all you needed to reach any tire on the truck. When filled to 120 PSI or so they would hold enough air to inflate a single tire well enough to get you home or to a someplace that had a continuous supply of air.
  13. My great-niece got into a fight at school with another girl at school that was picking on her friend during lunch. Her friend is mildly autistic and was too afraid to fight back. Apparently this had been going on for some time. My great-niece finally had enough and beat the snot out of the bully. I'm proud of her for her actions as are her parents. Unfortunately my great-niece got a couple days in school suspension which she says was worth it.
  14. As far as WWII is concerned, the average French soldier was no less brave than any other allied soldier. The problem is that their government sold them out. After being abandoned by their leadership, Free French troops fought side by side with other Allied troops. Significantly more Frenchmen fought with the Allies than for the Axis. The French Resistance did a lot of damage to the German war machine. Their actions leading up to and during the D-Day landings were critical to the Allied success.
  15. @Buckshot Bear Auto insurance in the States falls into two broad categories. Liability and Comprehensive/Collision. Liability only pays for the damage you cause to others. It does not cover the damage you do to your own vehicle. Comprehensive/Collision covers any damage to your own property. In truth it is a lot more to it but at a very high level the above just about covers it. A more detailed explanation.
  16. The problem is that the state mandated minimums haven't changed in over 40 years. 25/50/25 minimums would have covered the cost of most automobiles back then. Today 25/50/25 wouldn't cover 1/2 the cost to repair/replace 90% of the cars on the road. Given the cost of most autos today, 100/300/100 should be the minimum.
  17. I suggest that before you start your own auction service that you spend some time selling on Gun Broker. You'll soon discover why some sellers word their listings like they do.
  18. That arsonist needs to be staked out on a fire ant mound. Once the ants get done him/her then set what's left on fire.
  19. Now people pay big bucks to health clubs to spend hours on treadmills and stair steppers.
  20. I remember shooting one in Navy Bootcamp back in 1982. Don't remember how many rounds but if you scored high enough with it, you got to attempt to qualify with a 1911 in 45. I didn't make the cut. Pistols were not my thing back then.
