So the officer "examinded the items". Examinded for what? Commen items would have no intelligence value and I'm sure the oficer, and others, know they were commen items. They were still gathering...
Two strips now to graduate basic? Wow, not in my day ( 1953, Sampson AFB, NY) What are the two ribbons for? National Defence and ??
Well, if you have several million dollars, I'm sure Win. would provide you the same kind of contract, for .380 or whatever!
LOTS OF LUCK!! They only made 5000 nad they are almost impossible to authenticate, only 150 being so. Those that have been have serials from about 112864 up to the 133919. Must are concentarted at...
when faced with a prolem/question like this call Brownell's. They can probably answer and may even have what you need. I was faced with same question on 98 Mauser's, thought it would be m/m, lo and...
that handguard is not a M-96 but a later hi-hump one, M-1901 for the 1901 cabine sight, me thinks. The M-96 carbine handguard stopped at front of sight and the barrel band had the ears to prevent...
It was the depression (the real one), what else did our folks have to do?
Aw yes, that one does look like a real one, altho canopy is too large but necessary in a scaled down version. thanks for all the answers!
Well John I thought you were allot younger then that! The times I met you, with Joe Van, I thought you were a "kid". I was born in 8-34.
I think the notice is pretty clear. Number 1---.17 ammo is unsafe in ANY semi auto. 2. As they are not mentioned, other types rifles are NOT affected. #. Rem. is taking responsibilty for their own...
At the Kalamazoo Air Museum they have a couple home builts, one is a "midget" Coursar FU-4 (or F4U?). All the engines are missing, removed by the builder, because of liability issues. Sign says...
no link there, if it was supposed to be.
The club I belonged to has been trying to expand and even build a club house and indoor range. They spent 10,000 on plans and trying to get go ahead from county building commission. No go....
We had another guy here that was killed several years ago. He was in his 7/8 or 3/4 size home built plane that was a copy of a P-51, in looks only, I imagine. Just wondering if it may have been the...
The rifle came out in 1919 as you all know. It was to apporximate the look of the '03, a popular rifle after WW1. It was called the NRA Model, but not all are so marked. In 1933 it was updated with a...
John K. "burning bush"? I think that is Jewish history, not Christian. Yes, I know one follows the other. Anyway I think my statement is from the Bible. If not I think it does make sense, to have...
Had a guy killed here in MI. a few days ago. Flying a 'singel engine 1989 Bushby Mustang'. Is this some sort of kit, P-51 type plane? Or is the name just a coincidence? Thanks,
The trator of Jesus was part of God,s plan, necessary to have him killed. (just a bit of history).
I really think gun sellers have to be real careful, with the new administration we have. I know...
Like evrthing in Government, it takes time! Their computors are especially slow, takes time to transfer all that info into bambams computor!
TDH; you should live in Il., the state I retired to MI from!! MI. does have a pretty effective pro gun lobby now. Not as good as the Il. State Rifle Assoc. however.
Speaking of the Savage 23 series of rifles, I have the two .22 RF models, a Hornet, and a 32-20. I am looking for a nice 25-20 to complete the set. Seems to be rather elusive! (at reasonable price)....
I enlisted in the AF, 1953, promised the "career field of my choice". Took the tests, still have results on file but without digging them out I remember I scored hi in my choice, automotive mech.'s....
In relation to the "horrible" dropping of the bomb, no-body ever brings up the fire raids on Tokeo, killing more people then either bomb.
I only meant that the protector was held on by a screw, not intrical with the sight.
