    Movie Theater Toy Story 3

    I admit it. I saw it. I liked it. It was every bit as good as the other two. The Hispanic Buzz was a riot.

    90% of Philly adults not fit for military service

    Re: 90% of Philly adults not fit for military service No surprise to me. I was at MEPPS last year for an over 40 physical. I heard the doctor tell one of her colleagues that the prior service folks were in much better shape than the young kids. Looking around the room, I had to agree. Our...

    Gunsmithing The money you guys have cost me…

    Re: The money you guys have cost me… Buying them is the cheap part. Wanting to build them is like buying a boat to catch a fish. It would be a lot cheaper to just buy the fish. So sayeth the guy that just spent $540 on a new chuck for his lathe, $100 on a threading toolholder, a bunch on...

    Tankers leaving Knox for Benning!

    Re: Tankers leaving Knox for Benning! I liked Ft. Knox. Great post. Had a lot of good times there. The wash rack sucked, cuz that clay did NOT want to come off the suspension. Those of you who have been there know what I'm talking about. For you grunts.....tankers always need a little...

    Gunsmithing New Chinese lathe or old south bend?

    Re: New Chinese lathe or old south bend? The Chinese lathes are made in Taiwan, which last time I checked, was a US ally. Some of the Grizzly lathes can use a collet attachment. However, I just bought a Bison 5C collet chuck, which will serve my needs just fine. It will be handy for...

    Gunsmithing Making an action truing jig.

    Re: Making an action truing jig. I'm going to shamelessly copy (as best I can) 300sniper's latest idea of combining the back plate and the jig to eliminate the chuck. I will have to wait until I get home to find out what size DOM tube to use, as I will be using it for M700's and M70's. The...

    Gunsmithing front sight on flattop ar can be seen in my scope

    Re: front sight on flattop ar can be seen in my scope I have a rifle with a low magnification scope on it. At the lowest power, I can see most of the barrel. It's just a reality of low powered optics. They have a GREAT field of view.
