  1. Same sign at the Public Shooting range outside of Oroville Ca. about 5 miles West of the RCBS Plant.

    Phoenix

    I have Family in Phoenix. Their impression of why Phoenix is there is "That is where the Horse died, Covered Wagon broke for the last time or the Car broke down and couldn't afford to have it fixed" Take your pick. I take it that outside of work and some Really Good Resturants, which came later, there is not much reason for Phoenix to be.
  3. Yeah, it figures. When an entity is forced to do what they have no interest in doing, they then Play the Game of "You Can't Win". If they could make it Harder and more Difficult they would.
  4. John Wayne did his part and it turned out to be an Important Part. He set a standard of Behavior that my NCOs' in Vietnam held us to. We knew it was just Hollywood, but it was behavior we could live with. No shame in what he did during WWII. My First Scout Master Join the Army Air Corps right after Pearl Harbor to Kill Japs, Nazis and Wops, Terms of the Day. He repaired Trainers in Texas the entire war. You did what was best for the War effort and it wasn't always what you really wanted to do.
  5. Wonderful! I go along with LTC. West. But we all know that will not happen. Political Correctness Sucks big time.
  6. As a young Trooper in Vietnam I was told by an Old D-Day Paratrooper Sgt. "Do not do anything you would not want to tell your Grandma, and if you do, never admit to it". Sound advice. I'll bet none of them would have ever thought to tell their Grandmother what they had done.
  7. Agreed. Only Civil or Criminal Laws to be used in Court. Religious Law has it's place, but it is not the Law of the Land.
  8. I am a Vietnam Vet. Friends of mine my age that I went to High School with decided to take the chance and go to work rather than College. The money would help the Family. While our friends around us were losing their Deferments and getting Drafted, they were ignored by Selective Service. These guys were not 4F, they had in some cases played Varsity Sports. These were Hispanics from East Los Angeles. A group that was heavily drawn on from California. Why they were not called up no one knows; they were waiting. That Newt or anyone else never received a call is a puzzle, but they didn't. It was nothing they did or did not do. To me the Question is a "You Can't Win" question as in "Do You still beat your Wife". Not a question with a winning answer.
  9. OMG! Gun Nutty, excuse me. Failing to pay attention. Gun Nutty.
  10. Gunny Nutty. The only Left Hand Threaded Action I Know I have encountered is the Norweidgan Krag. Not that there are no others, that is all that I found.
  11. Mapp Gas and Low temp Silver Solder. Unless you are good at it, work on it when you feel like working on it or it will end up in the Dust Bin.
  12. Prison Time in Southern California and The San Fran. Bay area. A Pat on the Back in Central and Northern Cal. It all depends on the Local District Attorney. Yes, Oklahoma is OK.
  13. Yeah! And all I can afford is the "Helper" part of Hamburger Helper. They spread my wealth, such as it is.
  14. How "Old Days"? In the Kentucky Rifles they were cast of Brass. A pattern was carved of wood and sand cast. Then everything you didn't want was filed away. At the same time frame for working guns and "Poor Boys" they were fabricated from sheet Iron and Soldered together. Then of course the very High End firearms Bone or Horn was Bent and Carved. Those Items were soaked in Vinegar, but not too long mind you. So what do you want to accomplish and what would you like it to look like? When you decide, there is likely someone here who can help you. Nothing is too silly if it comes out looking like what you want. There might be easier ways if you put more thought into it, but it won't be silly.
  15. Happy New Year all. All of you Learn to Say "Gung Hay Fa Choi" We may have a Need for it. Cantonese for Happy New year. One more thing, Everyone wear your Seatbelts, It's going to be a Bumpy Year. Heres wishing a Good out come to this 2012. The Last thing, My former Illegal Maya Neighbor says the Calender restarts on Dec. 22 and is good for another 5,000 years. Sounds good to me.
