Finishing up a 5 wt rod for my wife just need to do the epoxy on the threads.
Good Lord, when I was building Rods, I "maybe" did a wrap that was 10 percent of the size of that. It was a tremendous amount of work.

You did a beautiful job and you should be very, very proud of your accomplishment :):love:
 
Had someone walk up to me the other day while I was drinking a pop and ask me how I remove my straws foreskin when I get a pop in the drive through.
I told him that I pound it on my leg to scrunch it down, grab the tube in my teeth and rrriiippp the fore skin off, stick my tube in the hole and then suck suck suck.
After hearing my response the pastor fainted.
 
True but there appears to be a machine gun mounted on there.
I kinda thought that was an MG on the frame above the skid & I bet there is one on the other side too. If I was going to be evac'ed I would be fine with hot empty brass falling on me while I was strapped to the skid. The guy had a lot of baggage in there too.

OOF! Missed that, thought it was the stretcher mount.
Have a close friend that was in the First Cavalry Division ( AIRMOBILE) in Nam .
One of the first to go into Cambodia. He has pictures of his outfit riding on the skids that look exactly like the picture shown. He was a badass before he went to Vietnam, came back even more Dinky Dau. He is in my tight little cluster of friends , want him on my side. 🇺🇸
 
INNOVATION: Guy builds a totally steampunk Fallout/Bioshock style gas operated auto ejection system for 1873 SAA revolver.

Back in 2007 or so on THR, somebody did something similar with a Ruger Old Army black powder revolver but the gas system actually blew the hammer back to full cock as well. Also a very steampunk-y looking apparatus and there was a reason why he ONLY used it on the Ruger Old Army and warned others not to do it with any cartridge revolvers: That thing was full auto if you held the trigger firmly down. As soon as the first shot was fired, the gas system actuated cocking sustained firing and cycling at a rate of fire that sounded a lot like the World War II Japanese Type-92 heavy machine gun until the cylinder emptied. Doing the same feat with a modern revolver would be a legal nope...

Kinda neat, but just to auto eject the cases? Seems like a lot of nerd work for not much cheddar.
