I was let loose with an SA-80 once on an Army training weekend, firing blanks albeit... one hefty weapon!

You know Jared maurice Gibb did play a ricky ....

that's right!




He should be dancing...

"Ken-hey ya know an amorer who can glassbed an M1A with aluminium foil (so I can take the action out). Had a Sgt from USMC accurize my M1A 19 yrs ago, may need updating..."

Yeah I do know someone that's good with '14's, He's in...Montana now (I think), used to live here in CT. Most of the good M-14 smiths are gone or dead! I've never heard of using tin-foil between the receiver and the glass, we just used a release agent. I assume it's glass bedded now, you can do a skim coat. Might as well screw on a new barrel while your at it too, something that shoots the new M118LR! mail me at [email protected] I'll get you this guys info. Hold Hard

WHAT THU !?!?!?!?!?

hipower talk...

I left out one of my other "lives" in my first post. Architecture is one of my hobbies, Frank Lloyd Wright in particular. A few years back I accidently discovered a previously unknown work by Wright. It has since been published in the most authoritative work ever produced on the structures of Frank Lloyd Wright. "The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion" by William Allin Storrer. Bill has since asked me to participate in buiding authentications. It seems that a lot of people think they own Wright houses. 99.999999999% of the time they are wrong but it is fun to see the houses anyway. I have seen some amazing homes that were sadly not from the hand of the master.

I collect old Pepsi stuff...signs, bottles etc.. I have bottles from the 1910's to present. I also have a couple of telescopes - a 10" dob and a 4.5" reflector, but it's hard to find time for astronomy when you play in a band at night. City lights have ruined the view, so you have to get out to the country for any decent stargazing.

I never expected to see "Rifle" talk on here! I bed, accurize, and reload for all of my hunting rifles, but have no experience with military style arms.

I like to collect early 70's CBS Fenders.

It's all that I can afford.

Sad but true....

Even those are going through the roof.
I've thought about selling my Jazz Bass a couple times to buy an older Rick, but I could never replace it.
Of course if the Rick looked like Jeff's old '68, it would relieve the pain a bit.

I'm a vexillologist.

You study flags? Cool!

I Just sold my 73 sunburst black block jazz bass for 3,000.00 . Thats how i bought my shadow lol

Ted, yep I collect 'em too. I've got some old, historic pieces. A few hundred total.
