Ahh, the benefits of being old! When I started teaching back in 1970, I figured I would do it for a year or two and get a real job. 35 years later, I was sitting at a retirement dinner. How did that happen? The good thing was I sold my house up north, moved down the shore and got a great little part time job...life was good! Plenty of free time to Fish, Boat, Kayak , do my car club events and shoot. Then the economy tanked and my company went belly up and now I am just one of the many unemployed.

Well, it blocked my high school web site too. About 12 years ago a spammer was bouncing emails through our IP during the Christmas vacation. I went up and pulled the plug when we realized what was happening (like 10,000,000 emails overnight) but it took us years to get off the "antispam" lists. What a pain in the arse that was!

I worked and paid into the fund for 48 years and never collected a penny, then last May, my company went bankrupt and I have been unemployed since then. There are very few jobs around here in my fields and when I do go and apply for a job, I am "too qualified" or I have "too much experience". Good thing I have my pension.

Thanks Mark, I also use phpBB for my car club's forum and I haven't seen anyplace to read PMs, not that I would care to do so.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I am definitely going to try and make one with my son! We might not be accurate but we have a ton of mags!

I realize that they are cutting a 2x4 stake in two, I just don't know the rules and parameters. Now if it was a steak cutting match, I would be all over that!

You know, if they wanted it in Optics, they should have just moved it to Optics. They did not have to be dicks and send you that admonishment! How juvenile! They just want to flex their cyber muscles and show how they can exert their will upon all the peons that post on their holy forum. :laughing-rolling: I didn't know that the admins even could read the PMs? Doesn't PM stand for private message?

My brother says there are black bears all around his house in Budd Lake. He can sit up on his deck and watch them walk through his yard. From the back of his house to the lake is nothing but woods and swamp. He would love to see a hunt up there!

Please forgive these (probably) obvious questions from someone who has never seen a 2x4 match. Is this shot with pistols or rifles, what is the range and are there any limits on caliber? If I shoot a 9mm, am I going up against a guy with a S&W 500? Thanks!

He probably posted this in the Springfield Mod forum? You know that Tony, always the Rebel! Some of these gun forums are super strict and will not allow any posting that offers a view contrary to the moderators views or pet vendors and some are way too laid back and allow people to flame and defame each other. Aren't we glad we found one governed by manners and reason? :clap: Oh sorry, I forgot about Matt

My (lazy) nephew has been out of work for 14 months. When I asked him at Christmas if he was looking for a job, he said he makes more from unemployment than any of the jobs he can find. I guess he is just going to sit on his a$$ until the government stops paying him? Unfortunately, I know couple of people with the same attitude.

Seems the Mosins are very simple when compared to the Enfield? There are so many steps to take it apart, with the Mosin a couple of screws and clips and it is apart. Going to be interesting for sure.

Yeah, sometimes I am just to lazy to type it all out and I have heard it referred as the volks kit over on rimfirecentral for years.

I bought my Ruger Mark III Hunter a couple of years ago from SS. It has always shot and performed perfectly. I also put in the volks trigger kit and it is so smooth. Eats anything I put in it and once you get the hang of it, isn't all that hard to take down.

Damn Matt, it was YOU that got the hex receiver! Get her cleaned up and shooting!

Wow, great slide show Tony! Those Garveys and Jersey Speed Skiffs are awesome.

Nah, it isn't that often and we are far enough that it doesn't really bother us.

Yes we do!

Thanks doc, we ordered the parts from Numrich and he is dropping it off this weekend.

Dover Road - 530, right in back of where I live!

Thanks guys, he bought the rifle from Sarco back in the day when we both were teaching up there and had students who worked there, cleaning cosmoline off of all the old guns. At the time they had no rings but I will tell him to check now and I will look at Numrich. And yes, usnmars, it is a #4

Anyone have any experience with these? My buddy has had one for about 25 years in his closet and now he wants me to clean it up for him. (I guess he figures since I cleaned up my Mosin, I'm an expert now?) Anything special about these I should look out for? I know he said he is missing the sling rings and those are darn near impossible to find

Nice, I kinda forgot about that place. I bought a rifle there a couple of years ago when SS had trouble finding one for me. One of the guys I worked with told me to call them and I did. They told me they could have it by Friday (this was on a Tuesday) and they ordered it over the phone with no CC or anything, just my name. Oh, and it was there with my name on it Friday when I went to pick it up! :banana-linedance:

He had the three BR 2.5 bath unit, was nice but he got a job in LI. He took a bath on the sale but was lucky to even sell it.
