  1. Poor Kodak!
  2. Some of the replies to that were pretty funny - people offering to trade acres of land, etc. Guy had fun with it - even posted this Sad thing is there are so many new guy buyers around right now they probably thought that was the going rate not knowing any better. If left in a vacuum without the other posters turning it into a comedy routine, he'd have probably accidentally sold it for that to someone who didn't know any better.
  3. That's really cool. A lot of people have no idea that the 6.5 Rem. Mag even existed. Those 660's in 6.5 are pretty hard to come by. Not many made relative to the more popular calibers at the time (like .243). Honestly there aren't many "better options" as aside from ammo being a challenge, you can put that round up against any whitetail cartridge and not play second fiddle to any one. Thanks for sharing that.!
  4. It’s not real, but Cheaper Than Dirt is really selling 9mm for $1.00/pop in 50 round boxes. That blows my mind that they must have takers at that price.
  5. Had to have been stolen. Dealers and street criminals don’t go on wait lists at FFLs for a 5.7 and pay that cost for Ammo.
  6. Husbands and the wise things they do.....
  7. "Did you throw away my ........." is how numerous conversations start each month at my house. I'm not sure if she really believes I did, or if it is a coping mechanism she's adopted to ease her mind so she doesn't have to blame herself for not putting shit back where it goes or organizing her things. Much easier to blame me and then coast emotionally.
  8. I think that stock shares may also show up as $0 because they can't assign a daily value with market changes. I had that happen once due to a spin-off. Turned out there were a few shares in my name - wasn't in TX but I'd surmise that if its something like common stock they have no way of putting a dollar figure to it based on market movement.
  9. Feeling like you’ve been beaten with a tire iron is the best way I can describe the feeling you have waking up after a day long YF haul. It’s a blast but there is a price to pay.
  10. That’ll last until Sept. or Oct. when the casual deer hunters each grab a couple boxes for their annual sight in and deer season. Once it’s gone it’ll be slow to restock bc the mfgs will still be playing catch up on the volume stuff. What’s available now- .243, .270, ‘06 and 7mag will be scarce by December.
  11. If I had notched the stock on my Rem 788 .243 for every deer it killed there’d be no wood left......Just barrel and receiver. Love the Mohawks too. Takes me back.....I’d love to pick one up myself.
  12. I like jalapeno in my pimento cheese.
  13. I have a trifecta from the CMP. Luckily got drawn in the 1911 lottery very early.
  14. The old ads in the back of Field and Stream, or later in Shotgun News still haunt me to this day.......they were begging you to buy all that old surplus to clean out the cluttered warehouses.
  15. Edit - opposite of action
  16. Surrender is not the opposite of inaction for me. Quite different things as I understand my program. Surrender frees me to act without obsession over outcomes. It enables me to take the next right step without fear (or with less fear), and not presuppose the outcome. By surrendering, I am taking my "feelings" out of the mix; removing doubt and worry from the equation. The adage of acting our way into right thinking vs. thinking our way into right action works through this. By taking right actions without fear over the outcome (through surrender of that which I can't control) I get to divorce myself from the results business. If in the morning I simply say to my higher power...."Whatever!?!" and at night say "Oh well" - I'm unchained from the regret, remorse, and resentments to which I naturally default. I guess the long and short of it is that surrender inspires action......right action if I'm spiritually fit and eliminates doubt, worry, and the propensity to act outside of my values to achieve a result I want.
  17. Oh, and on that Model 70.....If you want to have the gun looked at - Pre64win.com Guy is a model 70 wizard with an OCD complex to do it RIGHT - the only thing he'll work on is a Pre64 70...period - he'll clean it...inspect part by part, can repair or replace anything down to original springs and screws, will give you barrel and throat grades. Will even do a complete restoration or modification if you want. He'll maximize the usability and / or value of the gun to your wants/needs. Worth a look.
  18. Those are all excellent firearms to pass along. The older LT20s like yours and mine are great bird guns, along with the 410s they have quite the following with enthusiasts - very pricey!
  19. Is the '84 1100 a LT20 or standard sized gun. Those LT20's are sweet little guns and often selected as a 1st bird gun for kids. I'd love to have an 1100 in 410 too. Very jealous. Oh, and lets see a picture of the 1940 Model 70. Don't get rid of that.......But if you do, I'm your huckleberry. Edit: Remington 42 or Winchester 42?
  20. Typical subs don't open up that well, but I've had great success shooting hogs with Lehigh's Maximum Expansion .300BO loads. Very good performance and fast kills.
  21. In all seriousness- if you love shooting a .308 a can will make it even more enjoyable but you’ll be shooting supers in almost all cases so it won’t be truly “quiet”. if you want quiet, the BO subs give you that and then you can run supers when you want to reach out a bit farther. The BO was born to run suppressed. That said, I run cans on 5.56, 300bo, grendel, creedmoor, and .308 and enjoy them more with a can than without.
  22. Yes is always the right answer.
  23. I was critical of her up-thread and certainly thought there might be something fishy going on with her defense and subsequent actions based on how it was portrayed in the documentary. However, I am willing to concede that my tin foil hat may have been a little too tight on my head and entertain the above as well. My only close experience with a criminal trial involved a similar situation with the roles reversed. The defendant was clearly guilty, the defense threw a hail Mary strategy that was absurd to anyone with the IQ of a potato and the prosecutor got cocky. They didn't destroy that defense; I guess assuming the jury would be laughing at it during deliberations and the jury ended up hung instead. My connection to the case (victim was a relative) had to endure another trial where justice was ultimately served. I can see how she might have thought the investigation was so poor and the evidence so weak that she didn't need to hammer away and she got sideswiped by the jury. Her prior relationship with the McCarty family may or may not have played a role in how she handled that or how vigorously she pushed....thinking "I don't need to even go there and hurt another family". Right or wrong, none of us will ever know short of her doing some mea culpa down the line. The whole thing is sad, fucked up, and a huge black eye for the LEOs involved. It should also be a warning to everyone that a successful prosecution vs. the truth is far, far too often the end goal.
  24. Call around to Goodwill locations. They often have used medical supplies like crutches and chairs.
  25. Mascara = moccasin Vertical = venom-free
