Presidential Plane Kerfluffle

Buff driver?
One of my aviation mentors - Navy Captain, Viet Nam vet, former P2V Neptune and P3 Orion submarine hunter pilot, used to tell the tale of a P3 on final approach at a USAF B-52 base. Tower addresses the P3 as "Navy light-aircraft" (the P3 is a 4-engine turboprop nearly as big as a C-130, but this was a common head-game the USAF liked to play with the USN to assert dominance). "Navy light-aircraft, abort approach and initiate a go-around. Await further instructions." The P3 inquires as to why, and is told there is a B-52 on long final with a declared emergency due to an engine-out situation. P3 pilot replies, "Ah, yes - the dreaded 7-engine approach."

Parker Hale M85 replica - Mission Impossible?

I think we spoke in DM previously. I had the entire set up, with that unfinished reciever. The taps are useless for doing the barrel threads in the reciever. It will need to be set up.in a lathe, the bolt way reamed, locking lug abutments faced and the threads single point cut. Barrel is relatively easy, does have a longer thread shank than other models. Ejector box is different but looks like you have it. Search PH parts in UK, lots of stuff available over there. The machine work is not difficult for a competent gunsmith with actual machinist experience. Have the action salt bath heat treated when done. Search the internet, there is a document that gave the material composition of the steel used, so you know what to tell the heat treater. It's definitely doable.

Many around here who took the jab now showing same.

Wait. Let me guess . The holocaust never happened..man, where do you come up with some of these assertions ? Lots of evidence that the British used smallpox infected blankets and handkerchiefs during the French and Indian War against tribes allied to the French with devastating effect.You can look it up, but why? You won’t believe it if it doesn’t fit your own version of history. Wherever that came from. Same goes for the Army’s organized campaign to deny the plains tribes of the buffalo.

Ok, prove it. Prove either of them..

Joe Biden Has Cancer

I've not read this thread, and I'm sure someone has probably already said it, but WHY IN HELL would we believe ANYTHING they have to say about the health status of Joe Biden? For the last four years they have aggressively insisted he was as "sharp as a tack" when even the most casual observation would conclude that is a lie of the greatest magnitude. So now, when a cancer diagnosis could provide some sympathy and gloss-over their previous heinous deceptions, why should we believe a word of it? I'm not saying it couldn't be true...I'm saying they have not given ANY reason to believe ANYTHING they say, true or not. They did say it is "hormonally responsive", so if he lives for another 20 years, they can just say, "Thank God, the hormones worked!"
