TLynn

Things take time, didn't want to just jump in to it, researched where to go first.

I checked on the M28, it was made in 1966. So the .357 is 10 years younger than me.

The .41 mag was made in 1980.

Both nice guns...I like them.

I don't think I'll get lucky enough to pick up the .38 I want so I'm not going to try too hard. It was a nice gun till it got stolen. I can wish for it again but I have a feeling it just wouldn't be the same. I've got these and I like them a lot.

After the discussion we had last week about what we've learned about women, I thought this might be worth a giggle.  I'm also kind of curious to see what emul8 and/or T Lynn has to say. 

 

Enjoy!

WORDS WOMEN USE

 

 

FINE

 

This is the word women use to end an argument when they

are right and you need to shut up.

 

FIVE MINUTES

 

If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five

minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game

before helping around the house.

 

NOTHING

 

This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should

be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"

 

GO AHEAD

 

This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

 

LOUD SIGH

 

This is not actually a word, but is a nonverbal statement often

misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and

wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you

over "Nothing"

 

THAT'S OKAY

 

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a

man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before

deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

 

THANKS

 

A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say

"You're Welcome."

Hmmm... the word "Fine" - I've used that once or twice and actually meant it (as in I give up and just please go away).

"Five Minutes" - yes I will be ready in five minutes...if you are not ready in that time I am leaving without you because I will not wait.

"Nothing" - oh yes that is definitely correct for the most part. However, when the argument ends in nothing I would suggest you leave quickly, very, very quickly as my temper has just about had enough of the whole situation (as in why didn't you just listen to the word "Fine" and go away in the first place).

"Go Ahead" - nope not a dare, it actually means please go ahead I'm listening and would like to hear what you have to say or please go ahead and do that. It is not said lightly and usually only said when I'm working with my brother or my friend (normally around guns and equipment). Don't have time to say much else.

"Loud Sigh" - haven't tried that one yet - I'll let you know. Only time I've done a loud sigh is when I've been extremely tired and wanted to go to sleep.

"That's Okay" - the above is a minor interpretation, one which I've rarely used in that aspect. Usually used in hey that's okay meaning it's all good.

"Thanks" - umm, that usually means just that. Except when said heavily laden with sarcasm (usually right after somebody has ripped me off of money or something else).

Okay, there's my reply... and no I'm not what you would call normal, but is anybody normal???

First up we have a nice little .357 mag w/a 4" barrel. My friend Ron lent it to me for awhile and after dickering with him for about 3 months we settled on a price. I thought he'd never sell it to me. I think it's had oh 100 or so rounds put through it. Not sure what year it was made in but it's a Model 28-2 and a N frame. Nice gun and in really good shape (probably either early 80's or mid to late 70's most likely).

He hated it anyway so it was a good buy for me. It's still not the S&W .38 special I'm hunting for (no I can't remember the particulars except it's a 6" barrel and was most likely made somewhere in the 50's or 60's) but it'll do for now. The grips however, are close. I think however, the .38 had K grips and not N grips. Still not a bad little .357 if I do say so myself.

Next up is by far my favorite for looks (not sure whether I'd actually want to take it out and shoot it just yet) is a .41 mag w/4" barrel. Again I got this from Ron. This one came with the presentation box but unfortunately all the plastic or whatever inside the box is falling apart so I need to address that. This gun however is NIB and has never been fired. The original grips were missing when I purchased it but Ron while scrounging in one of his storage units came across 2 sets of S&W grips and turned them both over to me. One set happened to be the correct set for this particular gun and I immediately put them on it. A special thanks to Tye for informing me I needed to go on a hunt for the grips.

It's a very nice Model 57 from 1980 according to the serial number - beautiful blueing and just a minor little scratch on the cylinder (sigh).

All told the two guns together cost me just a little over $700. I don't think I did too bad. Besides I'd of paid more just because I like S&W's (provided they are old).

I had not realized he had stayed away. I will ask him about it. I do know he's not been feeling well of late.

Oh come on Emul8.

 

You're the least confrontational member of the board.  Excepting your faux squabbles with Shooter Tom.

 

I'm tempted to say token distaff member.  What happened to Tall Lynn?

 

flaco

 

Who was that nasty guy? 

 

With the black mask?

 

Why... that was flaco, Agent Provocateur.

Sometimes I just get busy and forget where I've been...the end of the federal government's fiscal year is now gone (as is another year for me age wise) and I have a bit more time to do things (I think?).

So hopefully one will see more of me. I'm also trying to take a little bit more time for myself and have developed a few bad habits - newer handguns. I love milsurps but handguns are becoming a very fun thing of late.

As for the rest of the thread....it's like some have said - it's a bit hard to rebuild 3 years of work overnight. Almost disheartening in fact. Chewing the Cud and even the flame section keeps the rest of the area sane. Do we sometimes spend too much time in just these two forums? Probably. But like anything else, it's a phase or a cycle and like everything else that too will pass as more people arrive and things start to liven up elsewhere on this board.

You just roll with the punches some days.

And before anybody asks what the heck I'm doing online at this time of day --- yes I'm home sick. I've tried for over a week to fight the cold/pneumonia and it won (but I actually beat the pneumonia part so I win for a change.

Geez guys would you just quit hurting yourselves?

Seriously get better okay...

FC, I truly wish you luck because you're going to need it. Personally, I think those nurses need to get a wiff of real life in the trenches and what it means to work a bit.

This ain't no free lunch and being a nurse is not an easy job. They want that kind of life go somewhere else. They want to serve and to help people step up to the plate and quit their bitching.

End of story...

Yes, I've heard the word many a time before FC. Must be something that Texan's just don't know. Or else it's a more western type word as in up in the high west (not like where you live)? Don't know but it's fairly common or was when I was growing up anyway.

I was thinking about that. The kid will never have a chance to prove him or herself. I think it was about 22 wks. old.

While that is true that the child will never have the ability to prove themselves, there are so many variables to factor in because of the mother having been a drug user. You have just as much a chance of the child not coming to term because of that alone as the accident itself.

You can't save everyone Tony, no matter how hard you try...sometimes you just have to sigh, say a small prayer and move on.

That is sad FC. However, maybe it was god's way of taking his child home sooner than most. After all it probably wouldn't of been much of a life for a kid with the mom already hooked on cocaine.

Tye is talking about this type of bulletin board I believe

phpBB com

I'm not arguing with you there FC. I put my 2 cents worth in the moderator section but at the time they decided to stick it out.

I can understand why in a sense. When you've got it built up and have been there such a long time - change is hard. I still feel bad for the way you were treated though.

The money was at Flhunters board until ezboard started doing their supposed fix on the Community Chests - then all of a sudden poof the board went from $595 to $0.

Flhunter put in a request to have it looked into and ezboard said well we have researched this and you are entitled to something like around $285 or something.

So there you have it - ezboard at it's finest. I truly think they are stealing the money out of the community chests to run the boards and/or pay the staff. Because they are doing this to more than just one board. Figure they can get away with it - probably will too.

What's with the "Warn" thingy at the side with our name?

Warn thingy???

I'm so confused...

That was me in the above post - didn't realize I wasn't logged in dag nabit!!!

It wouldn't happen to have the words Santa Fe on it would it? If so buy it. If it doesn't have those words on the barrel then don't.

Santa Fe did a lot of sporterizing of Enfields back in the late 50's and early to mid 60's. Some quite nice ones too. One of the things they liked to do was to make the Jungle Carbine look. They did it with both the No4MkI's and the No1MkIII's.

Both are becoming collector pieces in their own rights these days.

I knew the minute I threatened to send an email bestest would show up!

Sounds like you had a blast Tye and glad to know you made it through the weekend.

Email will be headed your way tomorrow - I got carried away on another paint job tonight. (I really have got to quit remodelling the house).

whatever Karl but I don't think so!

I saw him elsewhere as he finished a friends rifle over in Oregon and said it had shipped. But that was yesterday and I've not seen any other posts or seen him elsewhere.

You want me to email my bestest buddy and see if he's doing okay?

I was going to anyway.

I don't have a lot but I'd chip in $10-$20 to help out with the advertising.

But only if you'd wait till August. I seem to have bought myself another AR-15 receiver. And I've got to finish paying off a S&W .357 magnum (my friend finally agreed to sell it to me).

Then again if I quit buying guns and knives I could probably help more

Thanks Horsefly. And you're right I shouldn't sell it until I at least shoot it. I was wrong on my estimate of mags for it. There are at least 5 and if I start hunting through the gunsafes and my closet I might turn up 1 or 2 more.

I'll take it out with me (along with the extra mags) to the range next time I take the 45's out.

Couple of questions. What do you think of the Ruby?? I can get one in 38 sp for $85.00, it appears to have hardly been used. Fly how reliable is your PA63?? Mine will not empty a mag without at least one failure to feed jam. Any suggestions on the ammo, I've tried S&B and steel cased Rusky ammo and neither will feed reliably.

AzRedneck, I like my Ruby. It's a 38 sp and shoots just fine. As for the PA-63, the guy who had it before me - well he said it shot okay and I've known him on the boards for 3 or 4 years I trusted him enough to buy it.

Horsefly - so what would be a good price to sell a PA-63 with at least 4-5 mags?

Gorgeous rifle.

Oh good put him to work!
