A truer shorthand description cannot be written. I bought a new Fiat 128 in 1975. :barf: Traded it on a Cutlass as soon as the warranty expired to avoid the repair bills. F'n Italian Auto Trash. Waddison

A most excellent observation and good advice, too! Many thanks. IMHO, the difference between the Mexican gov't and the US gov't is that the Mexicans know and openly admit their gov't is corrupt. In the US we pretend ours isn't. Waddison

Amen. Waddison

If it is not "Photoshopped", why is there a window standing in front of a window behind Harry Britton and Charlie Chaplin? The shadows there don't look correct, either. Shadow on Napoleon III falls forward on the step, shadow for Tsar Alexander should fall on the column behind him similar to...

rogerjames: I know it won't help your shooting, but it is a distinct advantage for a right handed golfer to be left eye dominant. Nice to know when you're on the tee, though.... :D Waddison

I agree completely. Thank you! Excellent advice, thank you again! I know I have a book of Asimov's short stories around here some place. IIRC, the title is "Nightfall and Other Stories" or some such. They are SF, but the principles are the same. I'll try to find it later tonight. Many...

loop: Thank you very much for your professional assistance. I do intend to finish the story, and your comments are very encouraging. I think I understand the concepts you want to impart and I will persevere to internalize them. I haven' seen this since English 201, spring quarter, 1981. If...

Duke: Hmmm........ Yes, I think I see your point. However, I also wished this element of the story to be less graphic and more 'understated'. A stylistic variance/preference? The event I describe is also based on an actual incident told me by my grandfather, who always underplayed every...

Duke: Thank you for that. You are correct. My amateur is suddenly showing. :o I politely disagree. I believe adding "to be" makes the sentence clumsy and overly wordy. But then, maybe that is a stylistic issue??? :confused: PT: Caught again! Yup. I agree. Thus my request for...

I'm kinda shy about this. It's something I have been wanting to do, but have not got around to doing. But it is something I have considered doing for a long time. I have read others' writings here, (Correia, Mr. Nightcrawler come immediately to mind) and so I have decided to ask for your...

If the US Government wants to help Mexico's citizens I suggest provideing each and every law-abiding Mexican household with at least 1 M16 and 10,000 rounds of ammunition so that they may be able to defend themselves. It wouldn't take too many "Northfields" south of the border to clean things...

As in replace the sear and disconnector or as in adjustment or both? Waddison

Hodgdon does indeed list 85 gn Sierra hollow points in their 2009 Annual Manual. Waddison

It does have a surprisingly good trigger for a military gun, which makes me wonder about a botched trigger job. Are the sear and disconnector something a once-was auto mechanic could replace or should it be left to a pro? Thanks, Waddison

I had (emphasis on "had") a Browning BAR Stalker in .300WSM. It is/was a great shooter and an easy gun to shoot well. However... Note there is no real advantage to the .300 WSM over the .300 Win. Mag. in the BAR. The action length is the same for all calibers. The WSM is 4 ounces lighter...

First of all, I am not a gunsmith nor do I ever intend to be one in fiction or real life. That said: I recently acquired a 1943 Inland .30 Carbine, M1. If I am concentrating on my trigger squeeze while shooting for groups, quite often it will "double" fire, that is fire the intended...

I had one in .243 Win. until my brother shot it. He took it home for his wife. (So he said.) :scrutiny: It was fairly accurate. About what you expect for a Ruger. (1.5"-2.5" @100 yds.) It handled very well and was easy to carry. Waddison

juk: Yes. It will load almost any metallic cartridge except maybe the .50 BMG and a few others. You will have to buy caliber specific dies and other necessities, though. First thing you should do is read Dave's sticky at the top of this forum. Good stuff in there. One of your best resources...

Our old joke in the USAF was "Third man on one match dies in whore house.... With a smile on his face!" :D Waddison

Not hardly. :mad: :barf::barf::barf: Capitalism was a result of freedom. Communism created and facilitated USSR's "craphole", as you put it. And that "CH" fertilized Stallin and his ilk. Don't even try to make the two systems morally equivalent! :fire: :fire: :fire: And by the way...
