A good mate of mine, unfortunately killed in an aero accident, owned a Sea Fury down here. I did a lot of work on it for him. When he did a low pass over me I hit the ground and started digging...
I'm a fan of warbirds, but never heard of the Sea Fury until now. Looked up the stats and they are impressive. Aesthetics wise, it doesn't hold a candle to a Spitfire or a Mustang IMO. Still a very cool plane though.
IIRC, the Seafury is slightly faster than a Mustang in level flight.
I am a big Seafury fan, but check out the Dreadnaught;
Link isn't working for me. I was wondering why a radial engine vs the merlin until I saw the specs. HOLY CRAP! 2480 HP!!! Eighteen cylinders!!! And four 20mm cannons!
We will start the weekend with a little mild and a little wild

And when they bounce off the ground it’s pretty satisfying, big or small
If you are forced to be in a place where you can't carry a gun & maybe are not supposed to have a knife either
Which would you rather be?
Completely disarmed, or have a bladed or pointed weapon?
The other guy may have a gun, but if he doesn't have it out and on you & doesn't know you have anything... a long sharp plastic shiv under the vest from behind, up and deep can do a lot of damage. As can straight into the neck or groin.
Texas
There are places where you are not allowed to carry a gun, but can carry a knife.
Other place where they don't want you to carry either, but YMMV
You're right! In fact, they are still the very definition of power! An Iowa-class battleship is, to this day, the second most-powerful weapon system on the planet! An amazing machine!

He's just making a hypothetical statement. My pistol will always be my first and foremost line of defense in almost all conceivable situations. However, it is also imperative that you have multiple backups and are well versed in other forms of lethal defense too. The blade has been one of man's most trusted and reliable tools and weapons since the dawn of time. Every gun owner I know, myself included, also carry at least one or two knives as backups. As well as a source of bright light and a tool to start a fire with.
Thanks. My laptop at home is showing these as Webpage, Complete. However my desktop has this as a .jpg.
And 660 pounds of bagged powder per shot. Sufficient to get ~ 30-06 muzzle velocities with the 1,700 pound hi-cap round.
I spent three years as a Division Officer on the USS IOWA, ‘86- ‘89.
The boys at my work put these things together at Croplands.
I look at it as a big meccano set.
Getting a 60 caliber barrel, and action isnt the problem. Im having problems finding the stock. I heard McMillan made one up for Chuck Norris.
TRY TO GUESS WHO IS ?
Canadian Minister of National Defence & King of Jordan

The one that looks like a sober Will Shatner is King Abdullah.
UN Special Envoy & Hungry Victim of Maduro Regime
He also rides a BMW adventure bike all over the world. Full face helmet and a couple of secret service types and he is as anonymous as any other rider!
Not a fan of kings and queens and potentates. But I think it would be fun to have a glass of lemonade with this guy!
Cheers, Sirhr
Man, the King looks like William Shatner from the side...
Before I read the caption, i seriously though “WTF is William Shatner doing talking to a Seik in Jordan?”
Had an opportinity to hang out with his cousin and him about 17 years ago.
Both are insanely well spoken, with crazy educations... it was alot of fun. Only about 20 minutes at a social gathering. Very approachable and down to earth... a true suprise.
Lots of Texas Law Enforcement officers have told me to ignore a 30.06 sign. So, unless the structure has a metal detector, they can eat shit, I'm carrying.

I have been told to ignore posting at several locations by the le present but don't know when a second opinion may cause a hassle I don't need.

lots of places that hand wand dont wand your boots, just your waist... a 642 rides nicely in a pair of lucchese boots.
Just a word of warning, if you carry into somewhere that it’s prohibited and end up needing to use it be prepared to be prosecuted. Definitely better to be alive and prosecuted than dead, but just be prepared.
++On the part about aggressive dogs. I used to have a jogger sized can of bear grade OC just for potential dog encounters. The mail carriers around my way do the same. I gave it to my GF to carry with her since she is not really a gun or knife person. (She's not anti, but being a NYC gal she just wasn't used to them. Now she doesn't mind at all that there are firearms and ammo in the house.) I made it clear to her that I will not be able to sleep right unless she has a fighting chance against a potential assailant, so hence the spray.
