    Well It Finally Happened to Me

    Sorry to hear about that. I have seen that the scammers were on the prowl on that forum. I bought several Randall knives from Rick Bowles, but I have not bought any guns. I had one guy try to scam me on this forum, but his own ignorance outed him. I put in an I'll Take It and he flipped out...

    Okay, I'm stumped; what was this thing?

    Things aren't always what they seem are they. Thanks for the explanation one more to keep in the knowledge bucket.

    Really getting tired of other people's entitlement attitudes.

    We got a ring doorbell, and we just don't answer the door.

    Two Firefighters Murdered in Idaho

    Have no idea who did it or why, but it is a terrible thing. I do not understand why people do the things they do. I agree that terrorism in small town USA is more and more likely pushing home the reality that everyone is at risk and yes it can happen in your hometown.

    To all the managers of your respective fields.

    I like the mention of leadership in the most recent posts. I believe in the adage you manage things and lead people. Being a leader is tough and getting tougher every day. I do not miss my professional role at all nor do I envy those of you still in those roles.

    Crypto, your opinion requested.

    I am in Jon61's corner even though I have to remind myself that Fiat currency and stock markets have their own issues. It is a speculative play like any commodity with the value based on supply and demand. I guess if you have reached the speculation tier of your investment risk pyramid, then...

    Lawn Mowed.

    I use a self-propelled 21-inch lawn mower. The yard seems to get larger and steeper every year. Takes about 45 minutes to do the whole thing. I have a small JD lawn tractor mower but only use it a couple of times a year. It is just between being big enough for the tractor and too big for the...

    686 ND

    Thats a beauty, they are great guns. My first S&W was a 586 8 3/8 TT TH, that thing is a tack driver and handles full house 357's like a dream. I paid 275 or 300 for it. I now have many of them in many barrel lengths all -4 and prior.

    What Has Happened to the Smith and Wesson Forum?

    I haven't been following the forum as much as I used to after the conversion. Not critical of it, I am just re-acquainting myself with the changes. With that said I haven't seen the dustups you are referring to, but I agree with you it isn't usually necessary. I try to live by the old if you...

    They kill a White Buffalo on Ted Nugents TV Show

    You pay for meat one way or another. I wonder how much it matters if it was shot in a small pen at a slaughterhouse or a pen large enough that you don't realize it is a pen. The end result is the same. FWIW, as long as it gets eaten or utilized in some constructive manner or financially benefits...

    Getting old, thinking of selling my collection

    If you want to sell as a lot, come up with a price and list it here in the want to sell forum. There are some folks that would be interested in that type of arrangement. If I was a buyer of a collection like yours, I would expect us to share the benefit of the deal. A lot buyer is saving you...

    Educated value guess 3 1/2” Mdl.27-2

    I am with AC Man on this one. Refinishing is a turn off for me. With that said, you could get anywhere from 650 - 1k just depends on where you market it. I would bet much of S&W community here would not be the top of marketplace. I could be wrong.

    Ordered Departure at US Embassy Baghdad

    FWIW, I think the Israeli strike will create leverage for the US as they attempt to negotiate monitoring and oversight designed to frustrate / delay Iran's quest for nuclear capability. I believe that Iran will use Nukes if they get the chance. They want us arguing over 1st world problems while...

    Israel Strikes Iran Nuke Facility

    We need to think of Israel as a forward firebase. They are the tip of the spear with Iran. Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear capability. They are doing the west a favor engaging and doing what no other country will because they will be vaporized if they don't. Do people think they are just...

    About IGGY!

    Prayers sent for a peaceful journey. Medicine Bow is a beautiful place, we hunted Antelope there a few years ago and had drinks in an old saloon which I think was the Virginian.

    How best to sell most of my guns.

    I have. The gun library manager was the only person allowed to give offers so I had to go back when he was there. I had a Colt 1911 Officers Model - stainless with 3.5 inch barrel, walnut grip panels and 2 colt mags. In 2019 he offered me 250.00 cash or 350 trade. The gun was easily worth...

    I got to take a ride in a cyber truck today

    I have never been in one, but we have one I see around town once in a while. I don't like the look, but to each their own. I will stick with my Taco for now.

    lament on old age.

    I understand how you feel. I am starting to run into the same situation. At this point, I do as much as I can then let it go. I am doing everything I can to avoid injury because I have seen others push too hard injure themselves and then comes the real downward spiral. Doing something a little...
