I really do not like the looks of the newly refinished Galil rifles that have come out, but I am intrigued by the “battle worn” varieties that are now for sale. Does anyone here own one, and what do you think? Does anyone own ANY of the James River Galil rifles, and what do you think about...
I’m looking for one of the military surplus USGI M16A1 Small Arms Rifle Racks model M12 - does anyone have one laying around that they want to sell? Thanks
Autumn Olive fruit is one of my favorite outdoor edibles. The berries are on the small side this year because of the heat and drought, but they are still delicious. They are just starting to get ripe here in southern Indiana. Since it is an invasive species, be sure and save the seeds to...
I went in to State Farm yesterday to make my first ever homeowners claim (In over 40 years of home ownership). I found out that State Farm has done away with standard deductibles. They now use 1/2 of 1% of the houses insured value. So, homeowner #1 insures his house for $100,000 and has a tree...
As the title says, why did the US spend over $2 MILLION dollars on the five missiles (one missed) used to shoot down the four balloons, when .50 caliber or 20mm would have brought them down just as easily? From Newsweek:
U.S.
'Sidewinder' Missile Biden Used Over Lake Huron Cost Over $450K each
This last weekend at he Louisville fairgrounds, there were TWO shootings At the gun show. The first was on Friday in the parking lot, and the second was on Saturday in the west wing. According to a friend of mine who was there, three shooters came to the entrance of the gun show and opened fire...
For those of you that did not purchase a 1911 in round one or round two, The CMP is now taking applications for 1911 pistol purchases in round three. Of course, due To Bidenflation, the cost has gone up 19%, but still a good deal for a cool piece of history. You have until September 30th to...
I have eight squirrels that come to my back door every day to eat corn, milo, and sunflower seed, and they have NEVER messed with my cat food in 15 years. However, this year, one of them loves to chow down on cat food - the meatier the better. I don’t mean just tasting, but eating the whole...
I just saw that Bitcoin has Lost OVER 50% of its value in the last six months! Other crypto’s are faring much worse, especially in the last few days. I hope Kut got out of the market when it was good.
The city of Palm Springs California is going to start giving $900 per month “universal income” with no strings attached to anyone that “claims” to be ”trans”. Isn’t that discrimination based on “sexual orientation”? How many people are going to make that claim, just for the “free” $10,800...
I was at a gun show today, and a .44 magnum went off a few feet away. However, it was not a handgun, but instead JUST a loaded round. A guy dropped a small bag of .44 magnum reloaded ammo, and one of the rounds detonated. Has anyone else ever seen this happen? I would think it would be more...
I heard an interview on the radio today with the governor of New York. She said that Collin Powell would not have caught covid and died if an (undisclosed and unknown) unvaccinated person had not infected him. The idiocy never ends. (BTW - Collin Powell WAS FULLY VACCINATED)
Today I was up in Indy to set up at the 1500 gun show. No loaded firearms allowed, so I locked up my pistol in my truck safe. After setting up, my wife and I went to dinner and then to Holiday Inn to check in. I was so tired that I left my pistol in the truck when I went inside to check in. I...
I spent seven hours in the great outdoors looking for arrowheads. It was a super workout for my legs, and outdoor walking sure beats a treadmill. Besides all of the nature and eagles that I saw, I did find these:
One is a snapped base Kirk, one is a Chert adze (woodworking tool), one is a...
When I got home I had a message on my answering machine from CVS informing me that my prescription was ready for pick-up. I called them back and said that I do not use CVS for my prescriptions. The pharmacist informed me that WalMart was out of the medication, so they transferred my...
Has anyone else noticed that when the main stream news outlets talk about obama, they refer to him as “President obama“, but when those same news outlets talk about Trump, they make a point of referring to him as “FORMER President Trump”?
On Monday I received a call from the CMP that my wife and I had both been drawn to purchase 1911’s. I gave them payment information, and the pistols got to my FFL dealer on Tuesday! We both opted for service grade (the highest grade they have). I picked up the 1911A1’s this afternoon. Both are...
I logged onto INGO to try and find details of the LATEST mass shooting which occurred in California. The news showed a big white looking guy, but his name makes me think the main stream media won’t be able to blame “white privilege” or a “white supremacist/racist”
I was at the local DMV last week when a 92 year old man was renewing his drivers license. This is what I overheard:
clerk; “do you have any hearing problems that might make it difficult to drive?”
Nonagenarian; “what?”
clerk; “DO YOU HAVE ANY HEARING PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO...
