Brian Colt, I am not quite sure I understand what you are saying, but I think I might have it. You want to make a comment or make a direct reply about a specific post that someone made within a thread without quoting the post that you are commenting on. ( you are calling it replying to a...

Initially I found doing what you want to do a little confusing, as other forums I visit do it slightly differently. Or you might say they do it backwards from this site. Some other forums you must "click" a reply button first, then type your replay in the dialogue box that appears and when...

The knife in the link is the Chinese made one that I pictured in the opening post. They break with alarming regularity. Link below is to one made by Dexter - Russel in Massachusetts. The Newfies hate the handle. Not large enough, slippery and horrible shape. I contacted Dexter - Russel in...

mmmmmm, how the hell did I do that!!

X3 :goodpost:

Hey thanks, I gotta start getting out once in a while I guess. LOL

I own about four Mag Lites. I am surprised that someone has not come up with an LED conversion for the Mag Lite.

Just curious, what does where you live have to do with a Walther PP? Should be legal anywhere in NYS.

Walther PP 7.65mm, Got one? I have other firearms I would trade as well as buy outright.

I am actually about 20 miles up the river from Albany and I have a guy I use that is a 15 minute drive from my house. No store front and the fee is as reasonable as anyones at $25.00. The issue will more than likely be on the other end. Price on the purchase is a premium and I would pay it...

Actually if this transaction comes to fruition I will be the purchaser. Problem is I am not sure the seller will be agreeable with the requirements. Got any suggestions on how to make this happen with the seller in Buffalo and the buyer in the capital District? Without breaking the bank of...

Thanks for the Info. Makes sense. The Drivers Lic. and Handgun Lic. was what I was thinking. Just wanted to be sure there was not some other requirement I was missing.

I am trying to pin down the REQUIREMENTS for a private individual ( non-licensee ) to ship a handgun to a Licensee ( FFL holder ) within the same State. In particular NYS. I understand that some FFL holders might require certain information that they personally want to accept a handgun from an...

I admit, three weeks ago I had never heard of Candace Owens. I watched a clip on her a a few days ago and thought that she was factual and well spoken with some very good observations and ideas. What I heard her say in that clip was a prepared presentation. I was impressed. Then I watched the...

They call it " Making Fish". Who knows how many tons this old timer has made. Cod heads are a delicacy to the Newfoundlander's . They have to be cut a special way. In the beginning of the video he is heading a cod and then preparing the head. Later in the video you can see the crab pan that...

cgrutt, I have seen that video. I believe she is at some sort of heritage center and the folks are tourists learning about the traditional cod fishery. There are couple of good views of the splitting knife in the video. I wish you could see an experienced person splitting. They are very smooth...

Called and the voice mail system took over. I can understand that as he has a shop to run. Trouble is the voice mail was full and would not accept any more messages.

Thank you for the very good suggestion. I googled and watched a few of his videos. His philosophy in life and mine are similar in many ways. The only thing that may throw the wrench in the gears is cost. I am going to give him a call and try to get a feel for what the expense might be...

Good point made. Adding to the need for corrosion resistance is the fact that my Newfie friends are not very good about maintaining their equipment. To say they are hard on their stuff is an understatement.

Agreed, something made from and old automobile spring or maybe one made from a file ground to shape seems like it would fit the bill.

cgrutt, yeah the fish plant down the road has several automated splitters. More modern than what you picture though. There are two markets in NL for salt fish. A large portion of the fish goes to the fish processor who splits the fish and puts it in a salt brine. It is then shipped to...

This shows splitting cod for drying. The table is a splitting table. Note the block of wood fastened to the table to place the fish against. This helps hold it in place as it takes some pressure on the knife to remove the sound bone. Usually there are three men working a table. One guts the...

Robin, Thanks for the link. I will see if I can find anyone listed that might help me out.

No, that won't cut it. (Pun intended) I guess you need to see one in the hands of a good splitter to understand how it is used. The long large diameter round handle is much preferred. One of the complaints about the Chinese one in addition to it breaking is the short handle. There is a slight...

I will start searching but I know I see folks on the forum discussing knives and knife making from time to time so I figured I would ask here as well. Other thing is I am looking for a rugged functional knife that was not made to be a piece of art with the accompanying price tag.

OK guys and Gals, help me out. I need to locate a blade smith or anyone that has the ability to make a couple of working knives. Not looking for custom pretty display pieces but rugged to be used and probably abused working knives. I want to gift these to two of my closest Newfoundland...

Calling the DizzyRats Dickheads is an insult to my anatomy! The worst of the worst and we are stuck with the idiot!! This is what he said before he jumped on the obstruct Trump train.

I went down this road a few years ago. I figured everyone should have a .22 revolver. I could not believe the prices on both new and used S&W and Ruger at the LGS. I came up with an alternative that has all the features of the newer revolvers for about $200.00. Nine shot, aluminum frame...

Well, I am not a transplant but perhaps our pistol licensing officer ( Judge ) is, Or at the very least thinks like one!

From the article: It seems that in the county, only one person can issue permits. A judge. Unfortunately, the judge only wants to issue restrictive permits that only allows carrying while hunting or target shooting. Anyone wanting an unrestricted permit has to show extraordinary grounds for...

What the article suggests is exactly what Nassau County did in the Napolitano case. Dragged the guy through months of litigation and legal costs and then capitulating at the final moment prior to an inevitable defeat. Something needs to be done to prevent this tactic.

She knows how to pick her duty pistol!

For what it's worth, some guy was just recently charged for having a stun gun or taser. May have been in Owego?

I looked at one of these while attending a Gun show here in Florida. I was all set to Pooh, Pooh it as a cheap less than mediocre firearm. I did not buy one but my attitude was changed when I walked away from it. Never fired one but I will say it felt rather nice in my hand. All I have to...

EXACTLY!! IMO you want it or you do not want it. Unless you are buying for resale. I am starting to wish I wanted it.

My take on this simple but perhaps that is because I rarely buy anything on a whim. What I purchase is pretty much always a particular item that is specific to what I am looking for. If I see a firearm that is exactly or close to exactly what I am looking for at a reasonable price I will...

Gee, treefiddy7 has this priced at what appears to be very reasonable money and is most likely taking a hit on it. Yet it appears as though there are efforts to get it for even less. If I didn't own two Dan Wesson .357's I would buy it just to prevent him from getting bent over on the deal. I...

The "Forward" has peaked my interest. Thanks for posting.

I feel the same. I also wonder if and when she gets reinged in and made to toe the line by the party bosses. Though in this case her threatening is in support of those same bosses. My fingers are crossed hoping she helps with an implosion of the Demorats.

I must say I was disappointed to see Stefanik join the Demorats. Her explanation has some merit but when fighting fire there are times when You must resort to fire.

Thank you,. I have long been frustrated by titles that say nothing about what the thread discussion will or should be about. Had to say it. That has long been one of my most irritating peeves.

Out of NY until end of March. But I will throw this out to you. Have a para length Arsenal /26\ , with Kivari trigger work resulting in a phenomenal trigger with safe positive sear engagement. Rifle can be bought with original stock or aftermarket pistol grip synthetic stock or both. If you...

Wrong year!

I must be living under a rock. I don't have a caliber card and to be honest and show my ignorance I never heard of one in NYS until reading this thread. If someone asked me to see my ca!iber card they would get a rather dumb look from me. And my permit? All of my handguns are not listed and...

Given the information you put forth I suggest you hold out for the PCR. I recently received an email saying it was back in stock. I think it was from Grab a Gun. Be patient and look around. If you cave and go polymer give a look at the Walther PPS.

Thanks for the link folks. Just general curiosity meketrefe. I saw it but did not have time to really look at it at the time. When I wanted to revisit the information I couldn't find it. I just enjoy reajing that kind of stuff.

Maybe a week or so ago I was reading a thread and there was a link to a chart comparing ballastics of many different cartridges. I cannot locate it. Anyone remember it and can link me to it? It had them all from .50 down to .22 Thanks

Thanks,. I am in Florida for the winter. Still have the Beemer and will be active with the sale effort when I return home to the oppressed land.

Mine has the longer paddle for the Mag. Release. I guess it is what most would call Gen. 3. Bought mine about seven years ago for $450.00 with standard capacity Pre Ban Magazines that have to live at a friend's in VT now. I probably should grab another P99 while I can, but I keep looking for...
