Universally, the people I know who voted for Biden that were total surprises to me, did so for this very reason.
I am not defending them for their decision. Just saying that like it or not it is a factor. Even if Trump had to fake it, seems like he could have cleaned up his act a bit. I often...
I cannot believe it! This is exactly what I have been pontificating to SWMBO for weeks. I do believe that there was voting fraud. However, there were enough people who voted for Biden legitimately to allow the fraud to push him over the finish line first.
Sadly as I said before the election...
I understand what you are getting at. However, I can say very honestly, If a product says made in USA from parts sourced world wide, I will investigate to see where those parts come from. The product will not be purchased by me if the components are manufactured in China. Example, OEM...
First, to be very clear I am speaking for myself only and not pushing my practices on anyone else.
Not one dime of my money goes to anything made in China.
Anyone who has been around the forum or the other forum for any length of time should find this sounding familiar.
Someone had a not so pleasant experience in NYC for having an empty holster on their belt. I remember the discussion quite well
as there were some defending the LEO that dealt with...
Ditto on what SPAT said in post #5.
I am unsure and a bit worried. I know more than just a couple of families that in the past I have thought to be relatively intelligent and thoughtful in their decision making process. They have all indicated that they are voting for Biden.
I am not feeling...
No idea how old Phazer is. But I can say that I am old enough to remember President Eisenhower.
My feelings in regards to President Trump are pretty much summed up in what Phazer posted:
"I'm going to cast my vote for the narcissistic egomaniac with a history of womanizing and cheating on...
Yeah, the brief look I took a few minutes ago got me thinking about it. Like everything else , you start of wanting to spend $xx.00 and in the end spend more than double what you originally wanted. Hell, I could easily afford a Gransforth's Bruk, but I have been trying to be more practical as...
I took a very brief look at the Husqvarna . Looks very nice. A bit more than I was originally interested in investing but if I sprung for it it would not keep me from putting food on the table. It's just that at this stage in my life I am not looking to invest in a long term heirloom...
I may be over thinking it but being light weight seems like something that addresses carrying in the field more than the actual functioning of the blade. I want the weight to carry through and do some of the work. I am an old fart and want the tool to contribute to my muscle efforts.
This...
Looks like the weight of the ScAxe head is a little on the light side. Plus the steel comes from Chy - Nah.
I seem to lean slightly towards the Estwing over the Fisker's.. Seems to be some complaints about the profile for splitting but I don't think that will be an issue for my needs. Not...
You guys are a riot!
After thinking a bit more on it and reading what is said in this thread I realize that a hatchet would suit me better. It' a tool I am looking for and I think the hatchet fits my needs best.
Having said that, either the Eastwing or the Schrade Scaxe look like they would do...
For some reason I have recently had the need for a Hatchet. Just to use for mundane jobs like sharpening a stake to drive in the ground or lopping corn cobs destined for the compost into small pieces. Like other items that I last remember seeing in the barn where I grew up, the hatchet I used...
In eight years of crossing the the country in a MH ( NY to the southern sections of Cali. near Yuma AZ ), I had a Mossberg 5oo aboard.
Though I usually had a sidearm as well. Even took the Mossberg through Canada on a trip to Alaska one year. ( applied for and paid for authorization to...
That women at the end was correct. The left has the loudest voice and has for a very long time. It is time for those of us with opposing views and philosophies to stand up and be heard. The tipping point came for me about three weeks ago. Historically I would avoid discussions with anyone...
I have a never fired 590 A1 that perhaps I would consider parting with as I don't seem to be putting it into service.
Having no heirs Father time is telling me it would be prudent to start simplifying my life.
I don't need to make a killing on a sale but certainly don't want to go to the...
BROCCOLI,
Been following the thread. Entertaining and informative reading.
This is our first time at home for the summer in 20 years so decided on a small raised bed garden.
Broccoli is growing like mad. Tall and huge leaves but no heads forming. I am guessing the real hot weather we had...
I would have followed tte 911 operators directions. Slowly drive out of the area.
I think anything under 30MPH is pretty slow. Speed up after clearing the mob. If there happens to be any excess baggage along speed up some and swerve to avoid the dog that ran in front of the car.
What brand are the folding saw horses that you have the portable work space on? I want yo put something non permanent along the wall in the garage next to the chimney. Do those ears on the end come with the horses to keep the bench top in place? How long are the horses across the top?
The environment and expectations being created that LEO must function in is getting a bit absurd. I guess they are somehow supposed to perform their job while not performing their job. Maybe something akin to a fireman putting out a house fire without having any water damage occur in the...
Mine was about to expire. When there was one month left on my present ( now expired ) permit I began attempting to contact the sheriff's office where my permit was issued. Two phone messages left to the number that was on my renewal reminder . Two e-mails to the e-mail and officer listed on...
Seward sponsored this bill several years ago as well. Kathy Marchione was a co-sponsor. She was my Rep. I was in contact with and communicated with her office in regards to the Administrative restrictions and the varying degree of Lic. issuing policies between counties. What they call the...
Proper or just cause are the words that have allowed licensing agents to get away with placing administrative restrictions upon licenses. As some on this forum have said in the past ( seemingly in support of administrative restrictions ) "The courts have upheld this practice". Yes, there is no...
I understand where master swimmer is coming from in regards to ALL of NYS being a microcosm of the country. It is a sensible way to look at the big picture.
I also know what I hear. Not just from my neighbors. About three weeks ago I completed a marathon cross country drive going to...
Was in the back yard a few days ago. Neighbors were talking over the fence from their yard. They have in the past been pro Trump, they are firearms owners and enthusiasts. Definitely have been anti liberals and anti progressive for as long as I have known them.
They are ALL IN for Cuomo and...
A leopard cannot change it's spots, but Cuomo has done just that temporarily. Just look at him in all the press conferences force fed to the world viewers.
To anyone who knows little about him they have seen a masterful presidential charade.
This whole Democratic nomination thing is going to...
Sums up my feelings quite well. In fact exactly!
I have not always held this opinion. Throughout my life I guess I niavely thought that any and all LEO were the good guys doing the correct thing. Must be something to say about getting wiser as one gets older.
Ask where you are shipping it to for a shipping label. You are simply carrying the frame to the USPS for them for shipping. Tell them you will pay the fee. Or, just ship USPS Priority mail and be done with it.
Towards the end of the article the potential problem is mentioned. The fleeing liberals bring their liberal mindset with them. Thus eventually establishing the pox in yet another State for them to destroy. I go back far enough to have seen this IMO happen in VT. Over time what was referred...
Nice to see you post CS.
I doubt that you will get a "normal" NYS CC Lic. in our gulag. Administrative restrictions are universally applied by a Lic. officer that uses his personal subjective and arbitrary feelings to do what he thinks are best for the residents of the County. Additionally...
Thanks,. I am trying to work out the logistics of getting to see these guns and take photos or get better information from the owner. I am not sure our paths will cross when he returns to NH for a brief period of time on the 15th.
Will keep you in mind.
Just curious, from the not very detailed...
I am quite impressed with the knowledge and information showing up here.
Hopefully when I get back to the Gulag I will be able to get a look at them and see what
Marks may be found on them.
Thanks, interesting reading about Manton. Your eyes are much better than mine. Greener who made the shotguns used by Wells Fargo as "coach Guns"
apparently was the son of another Greener who had worked under Manton before heading out on his own. Looks like the Manton Company is still in business.
Yeah, some repair on that stock! Was before the days of epoxy and super adhesives.
On that particular firearm my thoughts were that if the weapon is in any way unique someone else might be interested in some of the hardware
for a restoration of another like firearm.

I told him I thought that this one is an Arisaka. Probably a model 99. I suppose it could also be a Model 38.
He said there were two but one is missing!!:rolleyes:
I asked about the bolts and he said he had two but has not found them! :banghead:
His Dad was a Marine and served in the...
