    Man Accused Of Starting Wildfires In Oregon Tied To A Tree By Residents

    Good for the locals to stop this guy and detain him. Jerk was lucky all that happened to him was to 'fall down'. This happened in a part of Oregon that is very conservative and locals won't put with that type of crap.

    Price Check in the Gas and Diesel Aisle...

    I have a 2006 Jetta with the BRM 1.9 L engine and the DSG 6 speed auto transmission. Drove from SW Oregon to SW Missouri and back last fall and averaged over 40 mpg doing 75+ mph. Has 235K miles on it now. Did replace the camshaft at 190k miles and did an ERG delete at the time. Have a...

    Raising rabbits for meat.

    Years ago, wife and daughter started raising rabbits for 4H. Grew into a business of raising and selling show Rex rabbits. Keeping only the best quality rabbits meant butchering those that didn't make the grade. Did this for about 13 years until the feed we were using poisoned the rabbits...

    Seven bite the dust.

    About 7 years ago in SE Idaho there was a family of 4 who died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Cause was the dad replaced a natural gas water heater with a tankless water heater but did not change out the exhaust pipes. Turns out the tankless systems needs a much larger exhaust system than a...

    We got any drivers here? How do you keep from falling asleep?

    If you go about about 30 miles north of Pittsburg, you can stop in at Fort Scott Munitions. Interesting store and they will tell you all the virtues of solid bullets. https://fortscottmunitions.com/ As for long drives, for me audio books, salty snacks and non sweetened ice tea to drink...

    We're leaving and fuck you anyway.

    Moved back to Oregon after 24 years in Idaho. While Coos county is very conservative, would like to be "back in Idaho" without having to endure the cold, snowy winters. Too bad we didn't get to vote on this.

    Coos Bay OR vs Reno NV area Shooting facilities

    Moved back to Oregon 2 years ago, now live south of Coos Bay. Other than for shotguns for trap or sporting clays, there are no gun ranges in this area. Two gun ranges if you don't mind driving some are in Florence and Grants Pass. Florence is about an hour north and you must be a member to...

They are set up shoot out to 1000 yards. Can't say it is a destination point but it sure can be challenging it you like shooting in high...

    Night Vision It’s coming...

    Son just got his yesterday, bought from Will. This is his third thermal, his last was a Arma Right Apollo Pro 50 mm with 540 resolution. He said the Tig is definitely clearer than what he has seen in the video. He mounted in front of an IOR 3-18x. With high humidity he could get to 10x on the...

    Member Link Up Alway open for a fishing Day

    Lived in Pocatello for 23 years before moving back to Oregon 2 years ago. Thought trout fishing in Oregon (McKenzie river) was good. Realized I didn't have a clue. They grow some big fish in SE Idaho. Read recently that South Fork of the Snake has over 5000 fish per mile of river. Have a...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Some pictures of my son's rifle. His has the green stock with spacers. He has added Bradley cheek rest. Target shot at 435 yards (longest distance he can shoot on his property). H4350 with Hornady 147 ELD. And because he likes to shoot at night, with a Gen 3 KN 203 PVS9 Simrad. Note the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Last picture showing the set up for the slot cut needed for the bottom metal. I used the first fixture I made to hold the receiver to drill the stock bolt holes to hold the receiver again. This bolted to piece of channel steel that is welded to angle steel bolt to the cross slide on the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Set up with a receiver in the steel tubing attached to the faceplate, and with the centering rod in place being dialed in. Don't remember taking a crooked picture. LOL Picture of the tap used for the receiver barrel threads after they had been about 75 to 80% cut. Note the bolts to hold the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Got lucky and found the storage device for the pictures. First is how I held the receiver to drill the stock bold holes. I was 1.5 inch square tubing with 1/4 inch wall thickness. Cut out a pocket for the rear sight ears on the top of the receiver to go into. Used a steel rod through the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Figuring out where to start, the order of what to do and how to hold the receivers while machining was more difficult than the actual machining work. Virtually every step required a jig or fixture of some type to hold the receivers. Probably half the time I spent on this project was making the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Came across this tread and thought I would post a couple of pictures of my M85 and tell of it's build. Well actually I built two of them, one for my son and one for me, both in 6.5 Creedmoor. My son was the driver in this project telling me that he could find the parts and I could build the...
