I recently retired an planned on spending a minimum of three months traveling in my 20′ Forest River 19RR Toy Hauler. I’m a bit of a news hound and wanted access to various news channels while on the road. I rarely stay at established RV parks with Cable TV hook-up. I tend to boondock at
Don’y you just hate an empty hole? Seems like there ought to be something filling it! On the Uberti 1866 and 1873 lever action rifles, most cowboys remove the lever lock that was designed to hold the lever closed when in a saddle scabbard on a horse. Since it isn’t needed by modern cowboys, it
Picked up a used Charles Daly Miroku Superior yesterday and it needed a couple simple modes…. First remove the very 1960s white line spacers Second… I’m not a big fan of ejectors. And this gun could fling spent shells into another county! I removed the two V springs that must have come from the rear
Recently I became involved with all things “Shotgun”….. Shooting Trap, Bird Hunting, Sporting Clays. This led to the purchasing of a few different types of shotguns over the summer months. My search for a 20ga Pump Action shotgun led me to the very fine Ithaca 37 model. This shotgun has been in production for nearly
Recently I became a fan of Trap Shooting. Went out and bought a beautiful Remington 11-87 Sporting Clays model shotgun. Adjustable comb and butt plate. Twenty Eight inch ported / back bored barrel with extended choke tubes. Amazing wood and a nickle plated receiver. Loverly! But when taken to the patterning board there was
I recently purchased a Tedna PRIME SE12T over and under shotgun in 12GA. Its a beautiful shotgun with outstanding fit and finish. CDNN in Texas was closing them out for $399 and I simply couldn’t resist adding a 12Ga O/U to my growing shotgun collection. I love everything about this shotgun…except the ejectors. It eject
Before we start, this will not be a doctoral thesis on calculating MPG with a modern internal combustion engine…….Just a bunch of simple observations. So before you Rocket Scientists, Geeks and Forum Experts start taking me to task for this not being “scientific”……You can stop reading here…..move along….nothing to see here… 🙂 Now, for the
After 12 years and 200,000 miles, it was time for a new truck. The 2006 Dodge Ram 5.9L diesel was running great. Can’t kill that engine, but everything else around it was a ticking time bomb. Alternator, AC compressor, rear end, waterpump….all started to act up at once. With a number of very long, cross
Now that my trailer has a large capacity solar sysyem, the only time I use my Honda 2000i generator is for AirConditioning and my wifes hair dryer. I usually haul a pair of Honda 2000i generators in the bed of the truck. Even though the truck has a cap, the dust still gets into everything
I simply can’t stop loving me some old rifles! I always wanted a Civil War era Sharps Carbine in 50-70. But the price for a good example was always out of reach. A few weeks ago a fellow on one of the forums I frequent was looking to sell a 1859 Sharps Carbine and was
