I was USAF during that period. Spent a little over six months at Lackland for basic, a couple of months in hold status, actually processing incoming basic trainees, then OTS. I remember some of the old times talking about and shaking thier heads about some of the people coming in and out of...
Back when I was between basic and OCS in the USAF, about a two month period, there were two barracks buildings that housed gays awaiting discharge/seperation. This was early 1969.
I go for the old calibers 6.5x55, 7x57. BuT have a fe ar types in 6.5 Grendel along with a nice little bolt action sported, very ligh t recoil and rather flat shoooting ar the ranges you specify. My 9 year old grandson shot it with no problems
I'll be 77 in 12 more days and in pretty good shape. Had something hit the tip of my left thumb a few months back. Dr said just let it heal putting pins in and surgery would probably not improve things much. I do have limited movement, but attribute that to some arthritis that was developing...
I would think the limited number of shots(shocks) would be a disadvantaage. I prefer for my wife to have her little S&W J frame .38, five shots no need to worry about undercharged batteries either.
I graaduate HS in West Monroe back in 1963. The cafeteria was great, and the yeast rolls were to die for. Wish I could find some place now that made them like that. I think lunch was something line 14-16 cents per day in those days.
Enough, yes, plus more powder, primers, bullets than I will probably ever use, plus about 300 pounds of lead alloy, wheelweights cleaned and poured into igots, and about 90 pounds of pure linotype. At 77 years old I will never use it all, my son will inherit, and probably sell a lot of it. I...
Several years back when I started with the 6.5Grendel I was having problems also. Most often the rifle would not go into battery, or if it did the case would stick in the chamber. I was also using Redding dies. My final solution was to take the case holder and honed the top surface off a...
Check the current pricing before you sell them, Prices are out of sight now, much, much more than you paid. I have several I bought post Katrina for about $75 ea. I just looked at the Simpsons site, and they are asking $500-700 and mid 400 range for 96's and 1911's. I have a 96/11 I got...
There some excellent safety razors being made today, The better ones of solid stainless steel, some of titanium. Bullgoose shaving.com has a model called a Megress, an adjustable Mekur that is remade with no plastic parts. Westcoastshaving.com. both have an extensive line of shaving...
Agree ammo is not that readily available any longer, but it is out there. I have my fathers old Marlin 336SC in 35 Rem he bought back about 1952, and I purchased a good quantity of brass so no problem for me. Just doing a google search comparing the two, everything shows the 35Rem with about...
I only did something similar once. I had spotted a rather unique double barrel shotgun at a gun show, that was on consingment. Asking was way too much so went home, got on the computer and did some research. It was for a French Charlin , a sliding breech type, similar to the better known...
My vote is for the 365XL. I actually bought mine as a standard 365 with manual safety then got the large grip module to take the higher capacity magazines, and eventually got a longer slide and frame. The trigger on my 365 is actually better than the trigger on a slightly smaller micro 1911...
What about the 35 Whelen would be "primative" If my memory serves me correctly , it is simply a 30-06 necked up to .35 caliber.
Wonder why no one mentions the old .35 Remington, it appears to be a little faster than the .350 Legend.
My understanding is that the Legend was a .223/5.56 case...
I am not so sure "justice is served" From the videos/body cams it was obvious that she immediately knew that she had made a serious mistake, and we ALL make mistakes. The guy shot apparently had warrents for his arrest and he was trying to evaade arrest, how far should police go to conclude...
