    CO2 extinguisher?

    You are right on the 'no time to react' for a powder or primer fire, but you still need an extinguisher to put out the burning reloading bench and all the stuff on it that caught fire from the powder burning. CO2 makes a lot less mess than dry powder does and won't wreck everything like dry...

    Movie Theater A Fish Called Wanda

    Wanda: "Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up."

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    Took the S&W M&P15/22 for a shoot last weekend. I got 11 possums and three turkeys. Crap photo but shows one of the possums (Australian brush tailed possum - completely different to what you call a possum in the States.) Aimpoint Comp M4 with 3x magnifier and DPT suppressor. Cheap and...

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    At night it's more likely to be my 10/22 with an 4x Tasco scope and Parker Hale suppressor. I've shot hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands of rabbits, magpies, hares, rats and possums with this rifle.

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    The Bergara B14 .22 works well on rabbits and magpies too. Vortex Strike Eagle scope and DPT suppressor.

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    I often use my Marlin 917 in .17HMR for rabbits and magpies during the day: Leupold Vari-XIII 4.5-14 and a Gunworks suppressor.

    BSA Royal Featherlight

    Pre 1968, because that's when BSA changed from the grooved receivers to drilled and taped receivers.

    Rifle for home defense. What Caliber?

    Not unless I lived on 100 acres or more.

    If you could learn the truth about any single event in history

    The Romans used to crucify shit loads of people. I'm sure they had a system worked out.

    We can't call it a SA KNIFE any longer

    If anyone had bothered to read anything other than the bullshit clickbait article in the first post, then they would realise that SAKs without blades is AN OPTION. They are not removing blades from all their knives. Just making some without blades for sale in countries where there are...

    Poser for you… is this real or artists rendition?

    Awful movies, all of them. The "Accuracy International" in Sniper 3 is a Rem700 VS in .308, stuck in a AI stock with a new AI shaped cocking piece. I have the serial number of it somewhere in my garage from when I used to own it. There's a scene where Beckett walks behind a line of shooters on...

    Poser for you… is this real or artists rendition?

    It's just had a magazine photoshopped in to make it visible in the picture. There are worse examples around. Like this one from the DVD edition of Sniper 3: The barrel is coming out of the rear of the action in this picture.

    Any Local Ghost Stories worth sharing?

    Galatas barracks at Waiouru Army Camp in New Zealand, where I did my basic training in 1986 were supposedly haunted by two different ghosts. One was in the ablution block and was the typical 'appears behind you in the mirror' ghost of a suicide. All just second or third hand stories and nobody...

    Any Local Ghost Stories worth sharing?

    There's an easy way to tell if your house is haunted: It isn't. Grow up.

    Biden declares Easter as "transgender day of visibility".

    All set up in 2009 to bother the God Botherers in 2024? Okay.

    Biden declares Easter as "transgender day of visibility".

    Ummm..... International Transgender Day of Visibility has been an annual international event on 31 March every year since 2009. Just because Easter Sunday happened to fall on 31 March this year, declaring Biden had anything to do with setting the date of ITDV, especially if someone is claiming...
