Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Bore Sighting Device

Nice shiny new high powered deer rifle: $600.00
High/Variable powered scope: $350.00
Bore Sighting device: $140.00 
Being the dumb ass who forgets to remove the bore sight prior to  shooting:    PRICELESS !

Ok, NJ, 'fess up--you?

Still got the makings of a nice pistol (ultra carbine?), tho.

Actually there appears to be a very nice symmetry to the barrell cum sportsman lamp...where can I get a lampshade for this thing and what caliber lightbulb does it take?

Judging from the muzzle, I'd say it fires the USS New Jersey class 16" rifle ammo.

never could find that expensive bore sight, but the rifle makes for a good conversation piece, if you don't mind being regarded as a total idiot

around my place, 'total idiot' would be a definite step-up.

A few years ago I did something similar with a Colt 9mm. Had just traded a guy for it, and was checking it out back here in my office (while watching tv, alas), and had dropped the clip out, sure I hadn't chambered a round, and dry fired it for trigger check. POW--LOUD, and right thru the wall into my clothes closet on the other side, where i drilled a bunch of my favorite shirts and a favorite old tweed sport jacket. Luckily no one was home, so my shame was told of only later, when it was admitted as a safety-admonishment. Always, always, distrust self, memory is poor substitute for another look-see.

Yikes, Buddy, always an anxiety. One of many reasons to like wheelguns, I guess.

Revolver vs semi-auto--no way to decide. Chicken/egg problem. Boils down to power vs reliability, broadly, very broadly.
#9 buddy larsen on 2007-01-28 13:12 (Reply)
Yup. Thus - buy both.

I wanna know if there's a hole(s) in the 10 ring.
