Displaced Texan

How long is your muzzle device? I think your barrel OAL needs to be min 12” to be able to make the minimum OAL of 26”.

Before. Poor old shotgun.

Something I’ll be able to have legally in a week.

Survey says…build it!! We move in a week, so I’ll order parts on the other end and keep y’all posted. I don’t think I’m going to make this into anything pretty, but a functional, 18.5” truck gun.

I have an old pump shotgun, a Marlin Glenfield 778 that’s seen it better days. It was my duck hunting gun back in the day. It’s missing a few parts, and needs a refinish. I was thinking about cutting the barrel to 18.5”, and refinishing the wood. Maybe re-blue it. Maybe just rattle can it. If it were in good shape, it would be worth $100-150 tops. It will cost me about that in parts to get it back together, plus whatever elbow grease it takes me to clean it up. What do y’all think? Should I bring new life into that beat up old shotgun, or just hang it on the wall? It’s fate rests in YOUR hands!

Don’t forget to grind off those evil bayonet lugs. There is a HUGE problem with drive by bayonettings in this state.

I have 4 25 gallon lockable tool boxes full of ‘tools’ to be moved. This is what I used. https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-29-in-Black-Plastic-Wheeled-Lockable-Tool-Box/1000578357

I’m good, not lucky.

My new house in Georgetown Tx is about 5 miles away from LaRue in Leander. I have the feeling I’ll be a frequent visitor to them.

Hold on, let me ask Mrs Tex if that’s ok…… She said no way in hell. Damn it.

Im still holding 4000 shares of MVIS I bought at $.29. I sold the other 4000 shares when it hit $16. No matter what happens with them now, I made my $. Bombarder is doing well for me. Bought at $.49, it was $1.60 last I checked. SHIP as well. Bought at $.50, it was $1.50 the other day when I checked.

I saw that too. According to several eBay listings, they run from $0.99 to $12 or so. Which means actual value is like $0.10. I think this is one of the ‘proof’ copies of what MIGHT be a state quarter, if we made DC a state. From one of those ‘genuine US coin mint’ collectors commercials that come on at 3am. Genuine silver. Really, no shit. We promise. They probably made 55million of them. It IS kinda neat, though.

I think you can order them on Walmart.com and have them shipped to your local store. At least you used to be able to. I did this once a few years ago, they would not ship them to my house…had to do in store pickup. Odd.

As a part of getting ready to move, I cashed in the 55 gallon drum (ok, actually a 1/3 full 5 gallon water bottle) of change today. I had one ‘outlier’ that was rejected. Easier to post a pic…has anyone seen one of these? What do I have here?? Yep, it’s obvious we don’t have a 51st state…yet…is this something from one of those ‘as seen on TV’ coin collections?

While I’m not really a fan of Pork Roll myself, Mrs Tex eats it from time to time. I’m gonna have to see if the local grocery stores in Texas carry it. Somehow, I doubt it.

I don’t understand the ‘hold outs’ who insist on calling Taylor Pork Roll…’Taylor Ham’. Since 1906, as @CMJeepster aptly pointed out in his post above, it’s been called Taylor Pork Roll. If you were born before 1906, I could probably understand one ‘holding on’ to the (incorrect) name of ‘Taylor Ham’. But, you weren’t….were you @Mrs. Peel. You are NOT 115 years old.

How can one eat something which does not exist???

Damn it…just when we needed it most

Ole Nancy looks like she’s knocking on deaths door
