  1. Model 1891 Argentine Mauser 7.65 x 53 with bayonet. Not an exact match but fits pretty good. This fine weapon is an engineering marvel well over 100 years old. Ramp sight to 900 yards for harassing fire to prevent free movement in the enemy's camp. Steel is in pretty good condition. All threads have been lubricated and work fine. Crack in upper handguard & the stock was secured with 2 screws. I have shot this many times and he is a beast. If your'e looking for a shooter, Boyd's has replacement stocks and you can take your spot on the line with fine German craftsmanship.

    Barrel has all the right stamps and marks according to several articles.

    I had this gun for 35 years and time for a new home. I used to display it in my office with the bayonet but it looked way too scary.

    22 boxes (440 rounds) of new ammo included. They go for $40 per box now! 

    Rifle, bayonet (with metal sheath) & ammo $450 or trade for 12g target ammo/silver. I can bring it to Central Jersey Rifle Pistol Club for inspection.

    First reply I'll take it gets the prize

  2. I got pulled over in a rental truck, Ohio 1987. Cop approached and the only words he said where "VISA o Mastercard". I replied VISA and that was it. No license, registration, rental papers and I was on my way $136 tacked onto the expense account. I was fine with this. Much better than getting jacked up in Cabo San Lucas, that could have gone real bad real fast but I stayed cool.

  3. The solution turned out to be very easy. I went to a Tohatsu dealer and he said to put a pair of zincs on the skeg. They will make perfect contact after sanding off the paint and getting to area flat. They do this for hot marinas with excess stray voltage in the water. Plus, I can thru bolt to clamp both on and no worry about damaged threads. I will seal up & epoxy the original cavity. 


  4. Now that fall is here, i'm winterizing a 6HP Tohatsu. The zinc totally wore away and even left the pocket with moon craters of corroded aluminum. It's not smooth anymore and useless as a zinc cavity. Questions and witty comments requested from anybody on a repair. I don't want to take it to the dealer if I can do the same thing or more creative.

    1. Mill the cavity flat and put a SS helicoil in the destroyed M6 threads? I think the hole is too fragile for tapping it out to the next larger thread . 

    2. Mill a flat spot elsewhere on the lower end and putting a helicoil thread there. I looked inside the lower end casting and can find a safe spot for a second zinc spot. This seems easy and I would epoxy the original cavity full.

    Thanks in advance for anything.

     


  5. Just when I thought my weekly trip thru the backyard scooping poop could not get more fun, it sure did this week.

    I renamed the crop "Murphys". I would have called them Magillicutty but that is not the name of any famous governor.

    Now I walk around in my rubber Murphy boots picking up Murphys and laughing my ass off.

    Feel free to try it.
