    How old are ya?

    About five yrs. ago I went to get a hunting liscense. In NY if you have'nt had one for 10 yrs. or more you have to take the safety course all over. So I asked if my old hunter safety card would do. 'Answer..., yes. So I whipped out my card from 1967 and the clerks jaw dropped. "You still got...

    A couple of 'NY'rifles. 250 yrs. too late. One English flavored, one Dutch. Flight of fancy on my part.

    Barrel shopping

    Again, thanks everybody for your observations! As of this moment I'm going to shy away from the heavier B even though I know it would be of more benefit stability/wise. Except for when I was hunting I've done 98% of my shooting off the bench with both M/L's and reloads for modern stuff and I'd...

    Barrel shopping

    Great posts. Thank you all ! These are exactly the types of input I was looking for. Now I'm back to the A wght. at the least and the straight 3/4 was an option I hadn't even thought of. I'll be giving that a hard look now too. I'm pushing 72 and a bit of a runt so that last thing I want to do...

    Barrel shopping

    Thanks Hanshi, My gut feel preference is the B. The B profile comes in at 5.1 lbs., the A at 4.6 so without something to hold in my grubby mitt's it's really hard to anticipate the feel, balance, and 'hang' I would get with either. I have two 38" C wght. .54's that I shoot now but the plan is to...

    Barrel shopping

    I've so far zeroed in on two Rice profiles. The American Heritage and the Lancaster/Dickert, Both 44" and will be in 40 cal. This will be for an offhand target application. My current impasse is whether to save 1/2 lb. by going for the A wght. vs the B. 'Any one here shooting either of these...

    Those 'pump up's took things to a whole new level. 'Should've been disqualified in the rules of engagement. They were to be feared (unless your the one who had it).

    It certainly was a different world we grew up in. I know we don't exactly have a lot of younger guys here on the forum but I can't help but wonder what they're thinking reading these stories.

    That's right up there with gluing field corn to the pan on a muskrat trap and setting it in shallow water for ducks. Back in the eighties I worked with an old Marine who knew every dirty trick in the book.

    OK, I give. What was it for ? I ask because there was one of those in my uncles old room at 'Gram's house when I was little. He was a WWII combat vet.

    'The shot heard 'round the world', Acetylene bombs. That'll create phone calls in the neighborhood. Except we weren't kids anymore when we did it. It's a wonderful thing to grow old enough to be an embarrassment to your children !
