    Another “Not snipery, but vintage” thread

    My dad recently sent me home with this little 22 short rifle that belonged to my grandfather. The date code says it was produced in June of 22. This puts it within the first year of production of the model 24. Oddly (to me anyway), the stock looks beat to hell, but the finish of the metal parts...

    Where are the SH welders? I need some insight.

    Have any of you been through the Tusla Welding School program? Recently? If so, would you recommend it? What, if anything could they have done better? My son is a senior this year and we toured their facility in Houston today. He's by no means married to TWS, but he has chosen welding as the...

    I recently purchased a 3-lug adapter and mount for my 9mm suppressor. When mounted onto the gun, the suppressor has a few degrees of rotational motion. Normal? Thanks.

    What reticle for sporting clays?

    And, the more important question; Mil or MOA? I was perusing the scores from the NSCA National tournament- seeing how my son’s score is stacking up against the field in his class. It’s an unspoken competition amongst the kids on his team, so there are a bunch of scores to look up- across all...

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/europeans-burning-trees-energy-years-green-policies-russian-war-leave-countries-hobbled I thought we were supposed to plant trees to soak up all of the evil CO2.

    COVID log

    This is not a ‘woe is me’ thread. Merely my documentation of my experience with the apocalyptic pandemic of our age. Day 1 I had a scratchy throat yesterday, but really didn‘t think anything about it. Just kind of felt like seasonal allergies. Last night I didn’t sleep that well, and was...

    White House morale is low?

    Apparently, WH staff are concerned that comparisons of FJB to Carter will stick. https://www.foxnews.com/media/white-house-biden-jimmy-carter-paralells-approval-rating-low I’d argue that it is Carter who should be concerned that the comparisons will stick…

    The Ukraine

    Like The Ohio State University. Why 'the?' One would sound like a lunatic to refer to The Poland, or The Austria. So, why The Ukraine and not just Ukraine?

    Won the Lottery

    No, not that lottery. THE LOTTERY. Yeah, I got a call from the CMP on Monday that my number was drawn for the 1911 lottery. Round 2. All that were available were rack grade. It's a bit depressing listening to the lady read the description "Rack grade firearms will (her emphasis) exhibit rusting...

    The New Marine Corps

    Looks like I’m in the market for a new scope...

    Have You ever run into something that is broken and you are just at a loss for words? Happened to me today. It’s the beginning of the year, so it’s a good time to clean guns. That way I know, at a minimum, that the guns were clean at the start of the year. Anyway, I was shuffling a couple of...
