Just wanted to keep you up with the .22lr market. Picked up 700 rounds of CCI standard velocity for just under $4/100 at the Tulsa show.[8D]

    Do you own any S&W's with a 2 or 3 inch barrel[?]I want one in a model 57 41 magnum. This will just be a collectors piece. I was wondering what the recoil would be like.

    Well, since everyone is so anxious to participate in a drawing held by a generally unpopular member I'll up the ante just a bit (if HAIRY doesn't mind) and offer to ship 20 rounds of appropriate 8x57 ammo to the winner so he/she can try out the new rifle.

    OK with you HAIRY?

    Let me know how that testing of 380 ammo comes out please. I want to see what to buy for my new LCP 380 that I am going to buy. I finally shot one Friday night and loved it. The bite and snap were tolerable and it fits in a phone case. My friend and I were on the beach surf fishing. We got talking about the ruger LCP 380. The next thing I know, he opens his cell phone case and takes out his Ruger LCP 380 and says, wanna take it for a dance. It was midnight on the beach and not a sole in sight, so yup, I fired a few rounds out into the ocean. Hope no one in China got hit[:D] I know I am going to get beat up for this, but we were safe. I fired it out into the water with a couple thousand mile back stop. Yes we shined lights into the water before I shot. Oakie [:D] Oakie

    just because you are not perfect
    "like the rest of us"
    and lashed out at someone
    does not mean you have to boot yourself from the forum

    if that was the case

    I would have been booting myself many times over

    Come on back and post some more pics of some of the finest collection of rifles I have ever seen

    Come on back and share your vast weapons knowledge

    Come on back
    I will even say please and say I am sorry for judging you
    for something I have been guilty of too

    Only one man walked the earth without fault[:)]



    either that
    or I will send Don to kick your *
    and while he keeps you busy.....
    I will steal your Knucklehead Harley
    and replace it with a minibike [}:)] [:p] [:o)]

    Doc Latimer: a while back, you posted a velocity comparison between regular and high pressure .38 Spcl rounds, in which you named regular rounds with a higher speed than +P's.

    Could you repost?

    Thanks.

    I hope you know that I like to kid you, because I like and respect you as a great forum member. It's nice to make other people smile and laugh at ourselves. There is never any intentions to hurt your feelings or anything like that. I truly respect you and your knowledge of firearms. Your one of the best guys on here and someone that I admire to the fullest.You seem to have a dry sense of humor and if I ever offend you or anyone else reading this, with a joke or kidding, let me know and I will stop. My wife brought it to my attention that sometimes people don't like to be kidded and take offense to it. I had posted to one of your post and my wife said, Take it off, not funny at all and very insulting. What I think is funny sometimes, is NOT. If I offended you, it was not my intention and I am glad I have a smart wife to point that out to me. I will be more vigilant in what I post from now on.Oakie

    Stop being so hard on yourself all the time. I love seeing all your guns. You have the nicest collection of anyone i have ever seen and love the way you set up the pictures. One guy had posted a picture of his hand gun lying on some bullets. Your Colt would like great in this setting. When your new gun arrives, post a picture with your other SAA gun, we would all love to see it. I also wanted to ask you, how do you set up the background on those pictures[?][?][?][?] What are you using as a back drop??????? Do you have any Winchester model 88's???? If so, I would love to see them. PS, I joke around with you a lot because i like you[;)]. If I offended you, I am sorry. John

    Allow me to clarify something...

    My (initial) critical post yesterday on the USS Little Rock thread had little to do with the ship itself and everything to do with the military posture driving its very existence. From there things quickly degenerated into an unnecessary pissing match over the ship itself which I allowed myself to be drawn into. For that I apologize.

    My initial argument, I believe, is still valid. For clarity, this position is simply; we (our government leadership) are allowing ourselves (i.e. forcing our military) to stoop to the lowest common denominator when developing systems to combat threats which shouldn't even be threats in the first place. We are addressing a symptom and completely ignoring the disease itself. And, as a result, we are allowing history to repeat itself over and over again.

    Case in point (and this is just one example of many), the PBR (patrol boat river) was developed to combat a threat in the Mekong Delta of Viet Nam. Okay, fine, but why? If our leadership had taken the position of actually "winning" the conflict in Viet Nam at a strategic level, then there would have been a significantly reduced need to combat pockets of resistance in the deltas of the Mekong River. Now just so we don't get Mr. Navybat all spun up again, let me be clear; I am not taking the PBR to task here, only the strategy which lead to its need. We were fighting the war on their terms, not ours. If we'd have gone in there like we meant it, isolated the country, crushed the leadership and cut the head off the snake...and then stood our ground to keep it that way, things would have been different. Instead, we sacrificed the lives of upwards of 60,000 U.S. Service personnel for effectively nothing in the end.

    The Freedom Class littoral combat ship is just a reincarnation of this same mindset. And thus, history is seemingly repeating itself all over again, just on a different continent.

    This is all I was trying to say initially. I have no issue with the USS Little Rock itself, and certainly no issue with the Navy personnel who serve aboard her. I do, however, take issue with the policy which drives her implementation, and the risks associated with the potential loss of U.S. lives as a result.

    That is all.

    edit...To be clear, I have no issue with the Viet Nam conflict, but take strong issue with the fact we engaged without the intent of actually winning it.

    If you take your new Mustang in to get the tires rotated at the Ford Dealer.. check the lug nuts. I re tightened they were finger tight. Wife said the car had a vibration. I took it for a drive. All four wheels were loose.

    I inherited a book titled "The Peace-Maker and its Rivals" by John E. Parsons published in 1950. I believe you have some Colt SA's; I remember your post about a .38-40. If you have any interest in this book, PM me an address and I'll send it along.

    (Of course there's a story that goes with the book as well as the stories in the book!)

    Thanks for the advice about the gun. I looked up the S&W 14 and that looks like the gun. The frame and grips looked great.

    The top of the gun from the rear sights to the front sight looked case hardened or like it was replaced. The sight part of the gun was not chromed like the rest of the gun.

    If i get the gun it should be for around 200. So either way its not a bad deal. Sometimes the district manager gets first dibs. We will see.

    Thanks again.
