I worked for I-H tractor dealer for a short while during the 1979 to 1981 downturn. The International representative , Walt, would NOT allow me to purchase a Scout. He told me how many problems he had with his and was quite adament about what a piece of junk it was. As I remember he carried a...

Definately grew in the water. My best guess is sponge, coral or bryzoann. We find a lot of fossils similar to that here in central michigan while looking for round , smooth stones to use in our slings. Pistol ammo is unobtainable, rifle ammo on IGBO. Intergalactic Back Order.

I am not trying to be a smart aleck, but it looks exactly like the clip from my staplegun. I lose a clip at the range now and again.

I'm looking at mine. It has the red plastic insert on a raised ramp. I cannot see any pins so I haven't the faintest idea how its held in. Mines serial number is in the M108XXX range.

I don't know whether it's fake or not, but what caliber or type of gun is best to have in this type of situation? Somebody has to ask.........

The first handgun I fired was my Uncle Chick's K-22. It was in my Gram's yard, behind the woodshed. If I remember correctly I was about 10, so it would have been 1961.I have been HOOKED on Smiths ever since.My uncles was stolen in a break in later but I own a 5-screw pre model 17 just like his...

I met Alex at a car dealership on 8-Mile road. I was just a punk kid but he took time out to"shoot the bull" with my Pop and me.What a colorful character and genuinely nice guy. May he rest in peace.

pharmer, thanks a bunch. SOMEBODY "borrowed" my book and I just don't remember who.....

I recently traded my four inch nickel model 34-1 round butt for a pristine model 63. It too is a four inch, looks like new, with box and paperwork. Serial number is M10828X. Any one know DOB ? I don't know how to post pics.....

In the early 1980's I was a laid-off carpenter who went to work for my wife's uncle who owned a FULL-SERVICE gas station. Any body remember them ? Due to the economy at that time Shell Oil was installing bullet proof glass at their stations. The glass installer gave me a piece of about 18 inches...

I own two of the Browning .22 auto's, one scoped, one factory open sights, both made in Japan. They are my favorite 22 rifles. I could never afford a Belgium manufactured one when I was a kid but I really don't see any difference in the fit, finish or accuracy of the Miroku vs. the Belgium...

I like Moronasaurs. I look around and realize I'm surrounded by their descendents, everywhere I look !!!!!

krehmkej, I'm glad you found a solution to our problem . I knew that eventually you would find something to shoot to point of aim , I had lost interest after talking to S&W,they basically told me I didn't know how to properly sight and fire their handguns. I'll try your load and see what...

My storm and strife tumbled two of my loaded speedloaders in the gas dryer for quite some time. Both had also gone through the wash machine. I decided to try to fire them in a model 686. I'm happy to report ALL 12 went bang and hit the target, although I know I was flinching in anticipation of...

Morons, at least remove the unfortunate man's name. I guess you really can't fix STUPID. SICK, imagine if his family SEES that ad......
