  1. Actually, they are. You just have to have the patience to deprime and find the primers when they are imported.

  3. Maybe they've seen the light??? Nah, I'm sure they can justify them having guns while still demanding ours.

  8. Well, been lurkin' around for a while but never had much to offer. You know what they say, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt!" Call me Craig or Chief, I answer to either. Retired Navy (Small Boats), retired Mechanical Engineer (2nd career in Industrial Refrigeration), self designated Tennessee Hillbilly, married 46 years (to the same woman!), 2 kids (both joined the Army so I'm not sure where I went wrong) one is a PhD in Abnormal Psychology (said she had to study that to understand her parents ... I think I've been insulted but I ain't figured it out yet) the other is a 2LT Platoon Leader in the 291st MP Guard Unit at Levenworth. Dad is proud of both of them. Finally have enough time and money to feed my addictions, guns, fast cars, and high-end woodworking (also design and build Strip Canoes). Appleseed Instructor in Training and SCCA Time Trials Driving Instructor (though I've also been an Instructor at the NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green). Current fast car is a '17 Cadillac ATS 3.6 Premium Performance with all the upgrades, previous fast cars were all Track Toys (Civic Si Type R, S-2000, Dodge Demon) unfortunately all of them apparently had a sign on the side that said ... "Stop me, I'm Speeding!". The Caddy flies below the radar! Back to guns, I have 25, 50, 100, & 200 yard ranges on my farm complete with covered shooting stands and I'm currently mapping out a 300 and 400 yard range but that is for the future. Favorite cartridge (at least today) is the 6.5 Creedmoor but I load for .223, 6.5, .270WBY, 7mm-08, .250 Savage, .30-30, .308, 9mm, and .45ACP. Probably go through 300 .22LR a week and another 100 or so center fire. I once heard a statement that "Only accurate rifles are interesting" and I firmly believe it! Just tested a new 6.5 load this morning (41.5 Gn Superformance, 143 Gn ELD-X, CCI 200, Hornady Case) and shot three consecutive 3 shot groups under 1/2" at 200 yards (1/4 MOA). Rifle is a Browning X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Speed with a Nikon Monarch 5 (3-15 x 42) which just keeps getting better the more I shoot it. Also have the X-Bolt Medallion in .308 but haven't started working up a load for it yet, it is already sub MOA with factory rounds and is my “Huntin' Rifle”. Have a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe in .270WBY that I will sell in the near future, beautiful rifle, sub MOA but kicks like a Missouri Mule! I'm too old to ride the recoil any more! 'Bout all, lookin' forward to the new site and learnin' somethin' new I ain't learned yet so Y'all come on over when ya can set a spell.

  9. I've had one for a few months. The notable thing about it (other than the general "well-thought-out-ness" of it), is that it will run reliably on really light loads. I ran a batch of 115gr FMJ on top of 2.2 grains of Titegroup (this is about half of what my standard 9mm load is for pistols) and the Ruger was still ejecting cases 5 feet away. I have a Tasco PDP5 red dot on mine for Steel Challenge and it's just the ticket IMHO.

  13. I don't remember how I ended up with a 1915 favorite that some one had cut the top tang off and the bottom one was cut in 2 places then brazed one break and bugger ark welded the other into something it never remotely ever looked like. So I figured Id play with an idea and see if it would work out and bingo, After finding a local that can blue steel, I got it done. The barrel is cut from a Ruger 10/22 with a mini14 cut sight soldered on top and threaded in to the receiver. The rest is fab-ed up from scrap. This was my second color case hardening try at it with my home made out fit. The flyers are sight ins with CCI std vel at 32' from a wood block rest. This was like a mountain climbing expedition. Once its done, it needs to become a memory before some federally gets his shorts up in a knot. Ruger barrel mounting groove welded up to get a Luger style barrel formed out of it.

  16. Thanks to Mike .357 I was able to get these medallions mounted on the grips he gave me. Sorry for the photos but picture taking is not on my skill list.

  17. THAT... is pretty cool. a 1911 on a 1911, who would have thought that one up? A tribute to a by gone era of Tech conquering the north American continent. I really like that one of a kind stuff like that.

  18. As a NYer who moved down here I’d say your problems aren’t from transplants like myself. It’s gonna be the youth. I look at the stuff going on in Johnson City, liberal attitudes, gay pride parades, etc. it’s almost as bad as CA there. For myself, I bought land in the hills, built some AR pistols that I couldn’t own in NY, unpinned my stocks and put A2 birdcages back on. Rocking the standard mags and putting in for a few suppressors. I love this place.

  19. There's a eutopian 1500 acre farm for sale on my wife's side of the family. It's for sale because the 4 siblings that currently own it don't expect their 9 combined (adult) children to be able to share it, and none can afford to buy the others out. It's truly sad. If we hit the powerball, it'll be mine.

  20. I grew up in an abusive alcoholic home. I remember being terrified of my father as a child. He chose to die of alcoholism 2 1/2 years ago. I can't tell you how many times he kicked my ass and my mother allowed it. That being said, I think you being a bit sensitive. Nothing Torino said was offensive, accusatory, or insensitive.

  23. Come on now, you may be an X Sub Sailor but you know there ain't no such thing as an ex-Chief! Once a Chief, always a Chief! I climbed back into my Dress Blues to attend my son's Commisioning and was Honored to render his "Silver Dollar" salute. 'Course, now I send him weekly texts on "The Care and Feeding of New Officers" so I get my revenge!
