Some genius pulls up in my driveway, headlights shining in my bedroom window, in a loud diesel pickup, revving the engine. I get up, put on my pants, stick a pistol in my pocket, and go out to introduce myself to this genius. About halfway there, he must have decided he needed to be somewhere else in a hurry.   Now I was in the mood to have a frank conversation with this guy, but I guess this was the best outcome that could have happened.   I figure it was some kids with a few too many beers, but what are parents teaching their children these days? This would have gotten your windshield perforated at a lot of peoples' homes.   I'm about to give up on humankind. :shake:

Local talk is that he wasn't in it alone. I hope they get everyone involved. A public hanging would be ideal, but won't ever happen today. This guy can't be dead enough quick enough for me.

I haven't touched a rifle this morning, but that's o.k. Little man got his first deer, a doe. 200+ yard shot. :up: [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_0096%202_zpsq12jqf9r.jpg.html][/URL] Of course my ol' pappy comes by with this monster 8 he killed this morning. [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_0032%202_zpsykheoq0y.jpg.html][/URL] Despite the hot weather and gale force winds here, it's been a good morning. Time to make the jerky! :no1: I took off work next week, so maybe I'll get to hunt then.

They've caught the S.O.B.! A lady was interviewing him on the news. I don't see how anyone could do that without leaning over and strangling him.     http://www.wdrb.com/story/30571307/scottsville-ky-man-charged-with-kidnapping-rape-murder-in-death-of-7-year-old   I hope his fellow inmates take care of him, as I don't have much faith our justice system will.

If you ever find yourself up this way, I'd be happy to let you try out my Williams and see how you like it before you buy anything.   An aperture sight is a big improvement over factory sights.

You might tread carefully into the vintage sight world, as it can be as expensive and exciting as a bad gun habit. :D :D :D I'd search out a Lyman 21 (Climbin' Lyman) if money were no object.

It seems traveling has been adventurous for him this year. I hope next year slows down for him.

I'm a fan of tang sights, but there isn't a decent one being manufactured today. You'll need to peruse ebay and similar sites for old Marbles, Lyman, etc.   The closer you can get the aperture to your eye, the better.

Williams Foolproof is the best currently being manufactured in my opinion. People speak well of the Skinner, but I don't care for the looks of them.

Think positive. This is the best excuse I can think of for buying that new chainsaw you've always wanted.

Best deer rifle ever made. You really ought to keep it.

[URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/99%20savage/IMG_2287_zps34d8ed1c.jpg.html][/URL] This old 303 Savage will probably get some woods time before next week is over.

What's is chambered fer? :cool:

I do like the old Savages. The new ones are great, but pretty went by the wayside for some reason.

Parking brake my friend.....parking brake.

You're probably right. At any rate, here's my rainy weather rifle. A Spanish 7x57. I've got less than $100 in it loaded. After finally getting the barrel clean, which took several years of intermittent cleaning, it's beginning to show a glimmer of promise in the accuracy department. I hate photobucket! :wall: It wasn't sideways when I posted it. [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/downsized_1119151528%202_zps8pupqqyf.jpg.html][/URL]

So....what ya' gettin' done?

If it's raining, I have an old Spanish Mauser I sporterized, but if it's not, I can't decide which rifle goes with me. If my youngest son goes with me, he'll be packing a rifle, and I might just carry a revolver.   What will you be packin'?    

The Lebanon Gun Shop on Hartman Drive also has a gunsmith. I haven't employed him so far, but he is a nice guy and seems very knowledgeable.   Sam Hoster is the local resident 1911 guru. He is in the same building with Asherbranner's Pawn Shop on South Water (109) in Gallatin. He's part time now and I'm unsure of his hours.

  They're a hundred dollar gun. One shouldn't expect Colt quality, but for a hundred dollar gun, they represent good value.

This....with a shot of Nu Finish liquid car polish.

I've done it both ways with no ill effects. I'll usually crimp them just to be on the safe side.

Yeah. There hasn't been a lot of detail released yet. It'll be interesting to hear.

I thought he made a nice addition. :popcorn:

This is something we all need to do more often. Management hears daily about where they've screwed up. It would be beneficial to let them know they're doing something right on occasion as well.
