Are you wanting to fix the gps to use it or rescue the gps coordinates? You might could solder an external triple battery holder into the +/- terminals and get the thing to turn in. Use whatever cable to download a waypoint file off the unit. Might not be usable in that condition but you might could save your data. Once you have the data you can upload to a gps app on your phone and use that. You might be able to upload directly into Garmin Explore. And yeah, Garmin pretty much owns the non-commercial marine and aviation markets.- The Gun Owner’s thread
Was it full auto or had it been de-miled?- The Gun Owner’s thread
So this probably got lost in an old boating accident on the Mississippi, didn’t it? And not packed away in cosmoline somewhere with a couple thousand rounds of mil-surp 7.9x57?- I've decided to dig a hole

When was the last time y’all had the bearings repacked? If you haven’t done them in a while, at least have parts to repack a hub. If your axles are the kind with a grease fitting in the end, you can give them a few pumps of the grease gun. You’re supposed to Jack up the axle and spin the tire while pumping grease but that rarely happens. If you get too heavy with the grease gun you can blow out the seals and fill your hub/brakes with grease which isn’t good. I carry grease, seals and a set of bearing for one hub. I also carry a cold chisel to be able to cut off a galled bearing race if needed. Make sure y’all have a good spare and air pump to air up any low tires. A patch kit is also a good thing to have. A good bottle jack and impact gun can also make tire changes a minor inconvenience.- Best Pocket Knife?
Texted my buddy and asked about that knife and he said I’ll pull out of my pocket and send you a pic. A little Puma lockback he said he bought in 1980 . Not bad for a 45 yo daily carry.- Best Pocket Knife?
Need a 112 to firm up that collect of Buck folders A buddy carried a small folder like that 505 for a long time. Seen him clean several deer and a ton of catfish with it.- The Gun Owner’s thread
The Enfield is in great condition, manufactured by Remington. Don’t know if it was refurbed at some point. We took it and all the other 30.06s over to the ranch once, along with a case of M2 ball and had a mini High Power Match using 100yd NRA targets. Fun day with many rounds fired and lots of sore shoulders. That Auto-5 is a 16ga with a poly choke and labeled as an FN, no Browning markings on it. Didn’t look for any choke marks and don’t know anything about the gun. Dad bought it at a garage sale and put it in the safe. Don’t believe he ever fired it. The Auto-5 next to it was dads bird gun. It’s a plain 16g no rib. Paid $120 at Sears for it in 1955 after he got out of the army. He was deadly with that gun on doves and quail with the 26” IC and had a 30” full choke barrel for ducks and squirrel. I have fond memories of chasing down birds and spent Federal purple hulls as a kid in a hot dove field. There were still boxes of Browning, Canuck and Federal 16ga hulls in dads attic when we cleared it out last year.- What's the best surprise you've ever given someone?

Here’s another pic along with the Garand, a Sporterized 1903 and a SKS. Dad had me take the 30.06s several years back and the SKS went to the ranch as a common use gun.- The Gun Owner’s thread
1917 Remington Enfield 30.06 1903 Springfield 30.06 M48 8mm Mauser (from Mitchell’s Mausers, Looks like it was never fired) K98 8mm Mauser Dad also had a CMP M1 garand that found its was I to my safe earlier and an M1 carbine that was stolen sometime after he started having care givers come to his house. I didn’t realize he had some guns on the from seat of an old truck in his garage and someone got it and a pistol.- The Gun Owner’s thread
Rock Island Auction is having a 3000+ item auction this weekend in Bedford https://www.rockislandauction.com/catalog/1048 We split up Dad’s guns a few weekends ago. I got the Buffalo Bill commerstive ‘94 Winchester 30-30 for my daughter (nopics) who loves shooting lever guns, and a Belgian Browining Auto-5 Mag for my son. Also drew both SxSs that have been in the family 100+ years- assistance with wrtiting ones own obituary ...

Hit up the Houston Boat and Auto Show this weekend. Really like the juxtaposition of the 12’ sailboat and quad 350 powered 47’ Freeman Cat.- Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
The CostcoPM subreddit has a bunch on info on buying CostcoPM. Since they only ship, make sure to inspect/open the package while carrier is there or before you sign. I saw several reports of persons getting opened packages with their order missing.- Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!
Nice euro mount. My good buddy sent me this pic a few weeks ago. They went down to their hunting lease and hung these skull mounts from the deer shot on the place the last 5 years. Not bad from a spot within 5 miles of downtown Nacodoches.- Post a pic that makes you lol
Went into a bank on Halloween either right before Clinton impeachment or the year after and a teller had the Monica hairstyle and the blue dress, complete with pretty obvious DNA stain between the tits. I was surprised that she was allowed to work with that costume that day and she was still there when when I went back a few weeks later. /csb- The Gun Owner’s thread

I built a trauma kit for my truck after watching a drugged up guy in a brodozer run over the front of a small suv smashing the dash into the legs of the passenger. It was right in front of a hospital and a first responder was gloving up and climbing in the driver side as I was trying to use a old towel I had grabbed from my truck to stop an arterial bleed. She didn’t have anything with her and the towel was it until EMTs arrived. I was involved with scouts at that time and decided I needed to be better prepared for a trauma type situation. I got a small tactical pouch and added: 1x CAT tourniquet 2x Israeli compression bandage 1x Halo chest seal 2x 5x5 gauze 2x packing gauze 2x gauze wrap 2x sets nitrile gloves 1x Coban wrap 1x emt shears This separate from a basic IFAK also kept in the truck.- The Gun Owner’s thread

MCMaster ProTip: if you’re sourcing parts from McMaster and can’t get enough info from their generic data sheets, hit up the support webpage and ask them for the actual manufacturer and manufacturer part number. They’ll reply with that info within a couple of hours in my experience. My predecessors at work liked to source parts from McMaster and I’m contacting them every week or so to get an actual manufacturer to get a real data sheet. - Handheld garmin gps repair
