  1. Well, it's finally here. Took almost a year and a half but I have my new double rifle in my hot little hands. She's a bespoke double built specifically for me by L'Atelier Verney Carron. Azur model in .450-400 Nitro Express. She handles like a dream. I can close my eyes and shoulder the rifle... when I open them the sights are perfectly aligned. The balance on this thing is unbelievable and makes this 9.6lb rifle feel much lighter than it is. Of course all this quality comes at a steep price... this is by far the most expensive weapon I've ever purchased and the only way I pulled it off is with the help of TGO. I joke that in order to afford her I had to sell every gun I own that doesn't have a name and while that's an exaggeration it's only because I don't name my handguns. So, if you've bought a gun from me in the last year and a half... thank you... you helped pay for this bad girl. Oleg Volk did a photo shoot with her and you'll find some of the photos below. These are unretouched studio shots so there are a few studio artifacts that will be removed before they are published, but I just couldn't wait to show her off. Enjoy and thanks again to everyone who helped me make this happen.

  2. He was a true icon. A genius. He could dance, play his ass off and sing better than most. I can't believe he is gone. Apparently, he was just talking about chemtrails and NWO stuff, so all the conspiracy nuts are already chiming in.. Regardless of cause, he will be missed.

  5. I have sharpened 3 knives to 1600 grit, here is the very first sharpening with my Gen 3 Pro Wicked Edge system, this stainless Spyderco, pictures do not do it justice, I thought my Edge Pro was a great system, this absolutely blows it away, Next week I will be accepting knives to sharpen, I will post a thread and announce pricing next week

  8. Now that spring has sprung the return of those ice cream trucks with the annoying loudspeakers blasting out "Hello!" and crappy music has followed. Every time I hear one I consider getting my rifle out and blasting their loudspeaker off their roof! Is it just me that hate those trucks?

  9. Finally got the Aero M5 308 out to the range. Always love shooting the 308. Very easy to get the Anderson adjustable gas block set up. It adjust from the front, ala SLR's (the best), but cost a lot less. Don't have to take the handguard off to adjust either. Bushnell 4-12 AR BDC dialed in great. Got to do a something with the trigger. Had light primer strikes. Probably due to the JP springs. Gonna get a RRA NM. The KAK barrel ran great! Ran some extra Wolf steel case I had laying around. I figure if I can get that to run, anything will. Here is 10@100 yrds off hand with a bipod. The flyers were all me, but at least I was consistent in my flinching! [emoji2] It was pretty windy as well.[emoji6]

  11. This isn't a problem.  It's just a symptom of the real problem.  I could care less about a black woman on our money.  Like Trump said, Put her on a new denomination and be happy.   BUT NO, they (who's they?!!? LOL!)   are removing and destroying anything and everything contrary to their reasoning.  When the Nazi power rose they laid waste to historical documents and artifacts that were in contradiction to their ultimate goal.  Isis is doing this right now and destroying anything that doesn't fall in line with sharia filth.     Like it or not, this is the new AmeriKa.  Don't like it?  Too bad.  For those of us under 40 or so, go cuss your elders for letting this happen.  It started long ago but the ball started rolling in the 60's and has picked up speed ever since.     The ONLY reason the Feds and the liberal movement can do what they do today is because they have been allowed to.  My father, grand father and great grand father are directly responsible and so are yours.  This isn't a blame game mind you but good men sat on their ass and allowed the GCA of 1934 & 1968.  Good men sat by and did nothing during Roe vs Wade.  Good men sat by and let a bunch of GD tree hugging hippies bring communism in our homes and now the roots run so deep, the whole of our land will need to be turned, tilled and disced to get it out.       The Constitution is [was] a beautiful document flawlessly prepared with checks and balances.  The American men and women of the last century have done a piss poor job of using those checks to maintain balance.  AND, guess what?  It's too late. IF you think there's anything left to save, one word....Delusion.           I could give a rats azz about a $20 bill and who's picture is on it.  It's the message this change conveys, not the action itself.

  14. You are trying to get me in trouble...aren't you?   We had some talk about this around the home place last night. Not really in favor of it, but short of a revolution, we didn't find a way to stop it.   Had this been done in a different way, by different people; all with discussion and not rammed thru by this rotten, derisive, and trouble-making administration...I don't think it would have been an issue.

  15. An outstanding pistol. Enjoy it and remember your friend.   I know how you feel. A few years back, a dear friend of mine passed away. I was at the house after the funeral and his wife walked up to me, handed me his favorite gun and simply said "Bill wanted you to have this."  Its a 6" S&W Model 29. I'll never sell it. Shooting it brings back fond memories of my friend. I've made arrangements that when my time comes, it will go to my best friend who also knew the original owner.  As long as someone remembers you, you're never really gone.

  16. They want to put MLK on the back of the $5. Personally He was more influential IMO so maybe a new bill with MLK and Ms. Tubman on the back? [URL=http://s779.photobucket.com/user/richarddacat/media/CggwQqlWQAEFzHt_zpsgt7kec2e.jpg.html][/URL]

  23. There are men left, you are just looking in the wrong place. I served side by side with many of them in the Marines Corps. They exist in all branches of the military, and still exist in the blue collar world of manual labor, both skilled and unskilled. Though the numbers dwindle, the men are still out there. As for the hero above, I had heard his story before and all I can say is that some men just refuse to die. Sent from behind the anvil

  27. To be honest I have not looked at magazines but now that you bring it up I need to pick up a few as this is definitely a keeper.  Thanks again for sharing this story.  I have reached out to a lot of dear friends I haven't spoken to in awhile.  It is our time together that matters.

  33. Personally, I don't think simply being president warrants the honor of being on currency as I don't think it warrants naming a ship after them. Exception would be a garbage scow named the USS Obama.

  39. Sorry for your loss. I have a few High Standards. Shoot only standard velocity ammo. They are prone to frame cracking in the Mag or slide release openings.

  40. While the circumstances are unfortunate that pistol is a wonderful treasure and testament to your friendship. High Standards are the gold standard for American semi-auto .22's. That one looks like it just came out of the box! Treasure the magazine as well. Originals are somewhat hard to find and ridiculously priced. Only shoot standard velocity ammo!

  41. Here is the single most important thing to weight loss. That is whether you can or cannot exercise. Only eat the suggested serving size and weigh it out. I was as guilty as anyone in thinking a 1/4 bottle of salad dressing is a serving size. Or that the ready made lasagna dinner is a serving for two rather than seven. Once I started actually weighing my portions the weight came off. I lost about 40 pounds in 12 months. My wife lost 70 in that same year.

  47. I DO NOT support selective legislation regarding who can carry where. This being said, as a college professor I have to welcome any legislation that allows me to help protect the children under my care. I have felt hamstrung for years by stupid liberal head in the sand policies that are nothing but feel good garbage. ffr1910
