Left lane slowpokes Hey, if you get bugged by the ignorant, you should attempt to make time in an 18 wheeler, while attempting to keep from running over many of these selfish, unwilling to yeild dirvers. With an av erage of 400 horsepower, multiple gears to row through ranging anywhere from 9...

As an over the road long distance trucker, I have dined at numerous different Subways, some great, some fair, and yes, some downright sorry. This is not the company's fault, as all are franchize owned and operated, again, some great operators, and others not so great. Normally, they are worth...

I have a Taurus .44 special, titanium, five shot, 2 inch barrel, with factory ported barrel. This supposedly weighs in at 18 1/2 oz, and even I was a little apprehensive prior to first firing it, but with the "ribber grip", and the porting, it is not near as bad as expected. Now some one...

Crown Vic The only thing I can think to warn you about, be very careful to ALWAYS use 5 w 20 weight oil. Ford was the first to go to this light weight oil, and from what I think I remember, there is aprox 5 feet of oil galley between oil pump and the rear cam journal on passenger side. Takes a...

Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine I'm going to add to the overwhelming former posters. I also have one, have had for close to 40 years, used to fire it a lot, but then decided it was just a "fun" gun, with no earthly use. Too powerful for small game hunting, and not good enough for whitetail, and...

My time for pulling my concealed pistol was not near as humerous at the time as it seems now. I'd been forced to leave my 18 wheeler tractor in this city for repairs, after another rig had hit it parked in a truck stop. The other driver's insurance company rented me a rental to continue my...

All of you folks who are suggesting Charlie move just don't get it. More than likely where Charlie lives was once a decent area, safe to live and raise a family in. (BTW, this is my first reading of one of his as you have described as interesting and amusing posts) I after having owned and...

I've read every message posted so far, and to my surprise, even though many claimed to be "old school", not one mentioned the most practical and useful firearm for tree rat hunting, the Savage #24. This was first, and my first one also a .22 lr over a full choke 410 barrel, later with many...

Captn Steve and RonJ, quite a surprise to find two additional ex ASA folks here. I went through either the very first or possibly second course in "Birdcage at Ft Devons", right after school had been moved from Indion Town Gap, Pa. Served in Korea during the conflict, and RonJ, it was not...

I have learned there is more than likely some local to you bank with large lockers in one of their vaults. I rented one that was two foot wide, three feet deep, and six feet tall with one shelf about 16 inches from top. It was built of sheet metal, had the two locks common to most lock boxes...

Larger animals versus your vehicle As a retired over the road trucker for many years, I have seen the results of many very nasty encounters, but I think the worst one was when an elderly couple (from the color of their thinning hair, I assumed they were older) had hit a whitetail deer in...

From my recent run around from UPS, I would ship by almost any other method. If it is lost, they will not pay you what you think it is worth, but by some low ball figure, about 60% of what you figure it is worth. As you can tell, I'm rather unhappy with them. They can refuse to pay for a...

Countryboy: Let me warn you, Georgia does not "renew" anymore. Each and every time you go back in, it is just like the first time, a Money order, cash, plus you must have a certified copy of your Birth Certificate, and lots of patience. My fingerprint card was not clear enough to suit, so 5...

Thanks for the info guys. I figured it might not be real common, as so far I have never been able to find it in any books listing gun values. Even won a couple of small bets with it, from those that stated such did not exist. Never have fired it, although I'm sure it has been, just not by me...

Glad to find so much knowledge concerning the old top break W & S and Enfield revolvers. Now, I know there was several different versions of .22 rimfire models, but I have a .32 caliber one. For the life of me, can not remember which one or if any of the military contractors made it, but it...
