I was hoping this thread would stick with cool range stories and not derail into chit chat crap like what is above me here. Thanks guys for ruining a good thread.

Oh get over it.. I threw in a photo shopped pic..

Way back in 1995 (man that sounds so long ago) I was in basic at Ft Knox.. Well, we had this kid named Rebuck.. Never shot a weapon a day in his life. Couldn't hit anything, at any distance on the range. We move from prone to foxhole which is essentially a cement sewer pipe on end with a gravel base. Rebuck jumps down in the hole to my right, places his rifle on the block just like everyone else. Fire commands are given for 3, 3rd bursts, I catch out of the corner of my eye, as he removes his rifle from the block he dips the suppressor into the peat gravel around the firing line. So, being nice guy I am, I yell over and point it out to check for obstruction. What's Rebuck do? With the weapon on fire, his right hand grasping the stock, index still in near the trigger, pulls it down into the hole with him while at the same time, reaching up to check and clear any obstruction. As he is doing this, the butt of the stock bumps the rear of the foxhole, slamming his finger against the trigger timed PERFECTLY to send a 3 round burst through the palm of his hand pretty much removing all but his thumb. Cease fire is yelled, one DI jumps in the hole to administer medical aide, while the other stands over the hole screaming "How F'n stupid do you feel now, you just shot yourself with an M16" He lost all but his index finger and thumb.

I clean after every use. Complete field strip, scrub it till it looks new and re-oil. If I haven't shot in a while for whatever reason, before I go shooting, I field strip, and go over it, oil all the parts that need to be and reassemble. For me I don't look at it as cleaning. I look at it as relaxing time. Sit here on the forum, BS in chat, clean a little and listen to Classic Rock on Youtube..

Mike Wallace was the interviewer. Vid of it on Youtube.

Image didn't work j0n, at least not for me..

Sadly (to some) I've decided to do just that. "Destroy" the patina. The gun holds a low value, isn't a collectors item and will no longer be a "wall hanger". I'm going to have it duracoated and turn it into a shooter that see's regular range time. I've already got my eye on a nice wall hanger that will take it's place and is in a better "wall hanger looking" condition then this was.. I'll update the thread as I go, just to show what's being done.

Read that whole article.. Seems like a nice guy, just trying to do the right thing.. Unfortunately for him, his life is over for a long, long time..

If it makes ya feel better, all the Shakers on the 03/04 Mach 1's were made from the original Mach 1 mold.

My larger "safe" is hidden, fairly well in a spot where NO service people or anyone other then my wife or I has a reason to be. When renovations start room by room it will eventually be hidden by a "secret" door and regular access to it will be gone. Nothing fancy, it's under some stairs with what appears from the side to be, nothing. My gun cabinet, currently resides in the basement. Once I receive new locks for it, It'll move to our bedroom and get turned into another "secret". Building a cabinet and shelf system from floor to ceiling around it with a false back to give access to the cabinet door.

That's what all the translations say pretty much. The one is Now the victims are perpetrators... or something to that effect.

I have a bait "lock box".. few papers in it, minimal cash and some baseball cards made to look valuable.

Had to throw a comment up there.. Whats the description of the attackers? $20 says hoodies! lol

I didn't know it was on fire under there.. I'll have to look into it. Duryea/Pagoda is also old as hell lol I've since gotten rid of that car in the video. Going to build a dedicated hill car when the wife goes back to work. If your on facebook the PHA has a page, lots of old pics https://www.facebook...145090635511799 Carroll Shelby, Roger Penske, and Oscar Koveleski are just a few of the famous drivers that set out to tackle the mile. The hill has been paved many times and the records have been shattered. The current record holder is Darryl Danko, who ran the course in 38.360 seconds in 2007. Today, the Hillclimb is run on the second weekend of July and is organized by the Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association (PHA).

Much more fun then just driving down the parkway fast.. skip to :35 the first 30 or so are staging. Few inappropriate (Fbomb) lyrics in the song I'm listening too..

I agree, I've been just as close if not closer to cars going 120+ and that definitely wasn't. Speeding, too fast for a construction zone yes... but no where near 100.

Its not funny, its the truth. How sad it is...

Purchased a pistol from him, let me jump through hoops to get it. Ended up being sooner then I expected and didn't mind a stack of singles Can't wait to get it on the range..

Said he would purchase the pistol if I held if for a while while he waited for OGAM + 1 and did. Held his word.

Kinda sorta, I rode the middle lane instead of the slow lane. Like any kid with a well built, well prepped fast car I thought I was invincible. The event itself has happened many many times. Escorting I can't speak for, but I've seen these guys/cars (assuming it's the same crew, which reports seem to confirm it is) have been doing this a long long time. When I was still in the "car circle" I heard rumors of being escorted, but never by whom. Most of the guys are running police type lights/strobes CB's, etc etc.. This isn't a "game" to them.. It's $ on the line.
