      The Funny Pic Thread, Pt. 10

      I got a free lab pup from a friend at work. A few months later he crawled under our Hummer and ate the main wiring loom in two. That ended up costing us $600 in repairs. That wasn't so bad in itself, but 3 weeks later he crawled back under our Hummer and did the same thing all over again. Had to...

      Searching for Arisaka type 99 rear sight part

      Another good website for Japanese parts is, Liberty Tree Collectors. I think they even carry a complete sight with aircraft wings. If it is just a flat spring you need you may be able to make one. Some homemade flat springs can be made from wind-up toys, or the wind up springs from an old alarm...

      Any Flint Knappers out there?

      Looks like another good haul, HK. That should keep you busy this winter if you get snowed in for awhile.

      Searching for Arisaka type 99 rear sight part

      I found a website that shows they have the part you need for $3.00. Here is the link: www.japanesemilitaryfirearmsparts.com As you know parts for these rifles are getting very hard to find.

      Looks like he bagged himself a mess of wily, rascally zucchini.

      Last ditch Arisaka, even worth it?

      You could part the rifle out and double your money on E-Bay. The stocks alone are bringing $200, barrels $75 , metal hardware $50 on up. It would be ashamed to part it out though, as it is an unique piece of history. Just giving you an example that the asking price is well worth it. I have a...

      Advisory on the recent Carcano 1891/24 TS carbines from TW Imports, sold by Buds

      I can remember back in the 70's I bought a 91 long rifle from Springfield Sporters out of Penn Run, Penn. for the sum of $25. The inside of the bore looked like a sewer pipe. Couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it. I have had some mod. 38 carbines since that were fairly accurate. They are...

      Advisory on the recent Carcano 1891/24 TS carbines from TW Imports, sold by Buds

      I've always been told to stay away from the long rifles that had been converted to carbines. I've always heard that those converted ,had sight issues. Most people had to put taller front sights on them to stay on paper. I've also heard that when a certain part gets worn on the bolt , that the...

      Any Flint Knappers out there?

      That was sure a good haul HK. Looks like you are doing a fine job on knapping out those points.

      Any Flint Knappers out there?

      I have heard that there is some beautiful hornstone down along the Ohio. You are so lucky to have some chert on your property that you can work with. I have seen some beautiful flint that has come from Flint Ridge, Ohio.

      Any Flint Knappers out there?

      Some first time knappers practice on old toilet tanks. I have seen arrowheads made from glass, they resemble obsidian.

      Any Flint Knappers out there?

      I have been knapping arrowheads and gun flints for awhile now. Was wondering where other members get their flint to knap. I have some Independence chert, but find it is hard to knap

      Parents can’t watch video classes but.....

      You're right it is irrelevant. It wasn't any of the teachers business. I remember when my son came home from school and told us the lesson of the day was, "Guns are evil"". If you see a gun in the house report it immediately. I grew up on a farm. Hell, everyone had a gun in the house. You never...

      Gardening 2020...

      BW, you are correct, the hard outer shell is inedible. I start picking winter squash when the vines start drying up. With the vines being dry there are no more nutrients going to feed the squash, so it is done for the year. Have you ever heard the Indian legend of "The three sisters"? Corn...

      Parents can’t watch video classes but.....

      Just goes to show you how stupid the teacher was when she couldn't tell a BB gun from a real gun. Yes, these are the kind of people we have teaching our children. Makes a good point for home schooling. At the very least I would say it was a case of invasion of privacy.
