    My opinion on repairs is first what needs to be done to get it back up to speed. Some parts are easily replaced. The wood work you should be able to handle. I did and it looks great. New valves, seals, and springs can be done yourself, I repaired my father in laws Benjamin (mfg in 1956) and...

    .177 Benjamin. Made in 1976. The Bluestreak was made in 1986 which I bought BNIB for $90.

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    This is what my daughter learned to shoot when she was 5 years old. Since then, she has worked out with many handguns in various calibers, rifles from a Barrett to an old Marlin .444 to a Garand, and what she qualified on in basic training. She is home for a short visit on leave and 26 years...

    Air Gun Picture Thread

    So the Sheridan was repaired by Baker Airguns in Mount Victory, OH. Got a different scope mount for it from their shop and placed a $20 tube on it just like I had it back in 1987. It spits the pellets out at 640 FPS. Stay away from the hack in Myrtle Beach who claims to do good work on these...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    This has a little zip to it, but I like it. I recall other booze hound goon squad members giving testimony on Old Grand-dad so I scooped up a bottle. Save any emotional outbursts about the Colt, never been fired and will go to my daughter who will drop in on the morrow for a visit while on...

    Show yer Peacemakers, folks!

    Ok. Last time I got grief about this particular model. Meh.....it shoots great and looks great on my hip when I BBQ by myself. Nobody hangs out with me anymore...I shamelessly stole the grip design from a movie that only the truly enlightened will recognize. The image was laser burned...

    20" White Oak Krieger "New Owners" Build & Test

    How disgusting you put a scope on that barrel! Clearly that service rifle tube should be run with irons. Never met Ben, but I have met his brother. Their old store- still has the same name - is down the street from me. Been there for a looooong time. Was shooting next to Ben years ago at...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    7 years and 11 months on the 0200-1030 HRS shift. Earlier this year I applied for a position and was later offered that slot. Monday - Friday 0700-1600 HRS. Today was my last day in the old dept. and now I will be the senior training instructor in the district. Even got an office! With...

    So Cal Ice protest.

    Sadly, all those pendejos and other fruitcakes -mostly pendejos- who are here by way of the open front door will soon just be allowed to stay if they promise to be real have and quit acting like fools. They will be placated with an inaugural nationwide low rider car show, free tickets to...

    Got out to test some ammo, IMR 4895 & 168 pills. As usual, ran perfectly, a little more tweaking and the kids who play on my beautiful crab grass lawn won't stand a chance. 🤨🤣

    U.S. Army/Navy/USMC M14-based sniper and DMR/SDM rifles circa late-1960s to late 201Xs

    I may be way out of line here as this rifle has only seen the Viale and Rodriguez range previous to the Sage chasis. I have always loved the M14 platform and have another supermatch that is also a favorite with a stunning stock. I appreciate the history and testimony in this thread. Good luck...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    So... last week we went to Colorado to visit our daughter who is stationed out there. We get on base and she says.."hey pops...there's a liquor store over yonder.." The prices were easily $20 to $30 less than what I see back home. I have never seen the Evan Williams around here, and just...

    This one was made in 1972. The Blue Streak is at another shop for repairs on issues that developed from a previous shop (located in Myrtle Beach, the name reminds everyone of a Model A, and he didn't make good on his word....stay away!) This rifle chrony'd at 731 FPS, and I just started...

    Indeed it is a Bluestreak! Not out of the woods yet with this old girl and she developed some serious issues the day after I posted this range report. I'm working on it.....she hits with authority that's for sure!

    Distance is 23 yards. Offhand needs some serious work.....I chrony'd it the other day and it is running rather anemic. 485 FPS was the best it would do, but that was only a few shots for a test. New seals and a solder on the barrel that had separated. I put the peep sight on years ago as the...

    Here's a new one for me personally. Pure luck I spotted this moving things around today. Brand new bag purchase back in Jan. It's a conspiracy I tell ya.....

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    What are the chances I managed to spot this fella as I was pulling this bag out to look for other pills? Empty as my head. Brand new bag, I just gotta remember where I bought them...I reckon reloading should never be taken lightly...see what I did there..? ;)

    We called it "kill the man" and would use some sort of area as the end zone. If you made it to the end zone, you could take a 30 second break, turn around and did your best to make to the other end. This would go on for hours until enough kids finally showed up/joined in so we could then make...
