Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well, I don't care how much snow they think we will get as I fixed it so we will not get any. I took off work an hour early, came home, got the snowblower out, filled it with fuel, checked the oil,started it and ran it for 20 minutes, shut it down and oiled the blades and checked the shear pins. Since I never do this until I have at least a foot of snow and the temp is below zero, this should keep it away for the rest of the season.

Well, it ain't perzactly a Winchester, it's a reproduction of a winchester. Well, I don't care how much snow they think we will get as I fixed it so we will not get any.

Just kidding grizz. My great uncle has a couple 22s I've been drooling over for years. Ones a semi auto that ejects out the bottom. A browning I think I'm not sure. The other was his first gun a little winchester 22 pump. They are light, tough and accurate. I love 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not good at waiting. I know the feeling... it sure does bug me. But I'm not that tempted yet I slicked up my 92 as best I could and if I focus can get four shells in the air at a time without yanking the barrel too much of target. My ffl has a brand spankin new 73 in stock for a good price but I just don't need it more than I need my other commitments. I still play with it and fondle it every time I visit the store but I'm putting my pennies aside to give the wife something special for our 5 year anniversary this year.

evil dogooder Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Good luck on da one, Evil ! ! Just wait till this summer, my parents are having a get together out at their farm for any cowboys and cowgirls who wish to attend. We will see who has the most fun with a marker if you dare to come . Bbq, bonfire, and good company. Maybe even a little shooting. They have a guest house, actually an old grain bin that I'm coverting into a cabin inside, plenty of room for camping and I also have a guest room at my place a few minutes away.

Grizzly Dave Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 only way I get four in the air is to throw them out of my hand LOL. Even if I ever manage to shoot fast, I move slow enough I'll never finish very high, but that's ok with me, I have fun. I blame for my 73. He loaned me his at the match that vid was shot at, and I had a ball with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loaned me his at the match that vid was shot at, and I had a ball with it. Oh I'm nowhere near fast. You could time me with a calendar. If ya didn't fall asleep watching me. This is what I do to slow down and enjoy myself. The minute I turn it into a serious competition ill walk away. I shoot against myself and for the kicks of it. It wouldn't matter if I came in last every time. Id still be having a ball. See that was your mistake. The only 73 I shot was before I had my own guns almost a year ago. The memory of its slicked up short stroke still haunts me. Lol I keep away fron others guns just because I'm a gun nut if I get it into my hands and its made of wood and steel I want it. So I try not to let those slick irons get that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 According to the weather map, looks like the storm has moved east, Sergeant. Is that true? Detroit is probably under snow also, and then New England and the upper land mass must south of the Lakes. No doubt Buffalo, NY and Cleveland will enjoy some of same.
