The engineer who came up with the idea of a spring constant was obviously an ivory tower academic out of synch and disengaged from reality.

Any real world person with a shred of common sense knows that there is no such thing as a spring "constant". A spring is NEVER where you want it, as you want it and when you want it.

In truth, the problems we have with springs can all be explained by the theory of special spring relativity. Just as light always travels at the same speed, all springs are the same size and tension. The perceived differences are an artifact of local disturbances in the space-time continuum. For example, when a spring looks too small it is because the local space-time matrix has undergone a temporary expansion. The expansion of the matrix has a natural tendency to reverse polarity, making the next spring appear too big. Only by trying enough times to satisfy the stochastic distribution is it possible to, by chance alone, arrive at an intersection of time and space such that the spring, which is the same size as every other spring, appears to the observer to fit the immediate frame of reference.

Ummm,......ok?

May 24, 1945

...GQ was called at 2100. At 2145 on two separate occasions a Frances made runs across the Hagushi anchorage at 10,000 feet. The planes were well illuminated by searchlights and taken under fire by shore batteries and ships. Later the two fields were bombed by high flying planes; a 120 man suicide force landed at Yontan. Eleven other two-engine bombers were downed before they could land with their kamikazes. The suiciders carried all manner of weapons. After damaging and destroying 32 planes, the Japanese were wiped out by Yontan personnel. From Yolo's vantage point fires were seen burning on Yontan most of the night. This was all a part of Kikusui VII.

On the night of 24 May 1945, 12 Ki-21-IIbs of the Daisan Dokuritsu Hikōtai ("3rd Independent Squadron": 32 crew members commanded by Captain Chuichi Suwabe) were dispatched for a strike, each with 14 commandos. Eight were assigned to Yontan and four to Kadena. Four aircraft aborted the mission with engine problems, and three more were shot down, however five managed to crash-land at Yontan airfield during the confusion caused by a diversionary attack by some 50 IJAAF and IJN bombers and fighters.

Only one plane landed successfully. About 10 surviving raiders, armed with submachine guns and various explosives then wreaked havoc on the supplies and nearby aircraft, killed two US servicemen, destroyed 70,000 gallons of fuel and nine aircraft, and damaged 29 more before being annihilated by the defenders. One survivor joined the Thirty-Second Army Headquarters around 12 June.

yup, I own one in .17HMR as well. My 25yr old son out shoots me all day long with that thing. One of the most accurate flat shooting guns I have owned.

Reading kwselke's reports really let's you see the resolve of the Japanese. If we hadn't broken them with the bomb we might have fought them for years and lost a lot of troops in the process. We need something to break the terrorists will to finish that war. Not sure what it might be but it will take something similar where the losses are horrific and convinces them that to continue is futile.

He might not have been the first to say it but.

what I love about the old Mossbergs is that they are one "solid" .22 rifle. made of good quality steel and wood! All have heavy target style barrels and are tack drivers. The youngest one posted is over 50yrs, old and still performs flawlessly. With a little TLC, they will easily last another 50yrs.
