    Winchester Model 1887 Lever-Action Shotgun

    With a short barrel, it would be an awesome vintage CQB weapon.

    Scouting anyone?

    Pack 880, then Troop 880. Arrow of Light in Cubs, Eagle w/ gold palm 1984. Ordeal member of O.A. Now, some 20 years later, my oldest son got into Cub Scouts, and they were looking for a leader, so I'm putting the uniform back on as Cub Master. Honestly, I'm in the process of considering a...

    The Arizona and Missouri

    My first time, though the wife's third. We stayed on Oahu the entire time, but it was simply amazing. As I told my wife, this was the first trip I'd ever taken that truly lived up to the hype. The island was beautiful, the water amazing. Pearl Harbor was as emotionally powerful as I...

    Favorite Small Arms of WW2

    An opinion and a bump. For handgun, it would have to be either the 1911A-1, just like the one in my gun safe, or the Smith 1917 revolver in .45acp, like my grandfather carried in the Pacific. Subgun, has to be the Thompson. heavy yes, but reliable, which is more important when you're...

    The Arizona and Missouri

    Thanks for the advice. Here are a few shots to start with: http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee289/cas700850/100_0928.jpg This is how the two are lined up now. A beautiful sight, the contrast between the beginning and the end...

    The Arizona and Missouri

    The Mrs. and I just got back from ten days in paradise, known to the world as Oahu. Amazing. Of course, being my first trip, we had to visit the Arizona memorial. I shed a few tears on the deck of the memorial, and we then went over to the Missouri. It's an amazing way to spend half a day...

    College Football!

    For those of us living north of the Mason-Dixon line, these things are often found on campus in mid to late October.Our soutern brethern would not understand, or maybe appreciate, sitting in a stadium on a sunny day, temperatures in the 50's, watching a clash on the gridiron.

    College Football!

    As a former inmate of the prison on the Hudson River they call the USMA, i can only say GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY! As to the resort in Colorado they call an Academy, I will admit to respecting their athletes. they would almost be able to keep up with most Cadets and Middies in PT. lol As to me...

    Archie Goodwin VS James Bond

    At least an evening with Bond. He's a high-roller, all the way, and the top end fashion and accessories, a bonus. Plus, I could try and talk him out of the PPK, and into a better sidearm. ;)

    Any police officers/ex-police officers on here?

    AS a lawyer who spent 12 years as a prosecuting attorney (D.A.), I can only say "Amen". Your notes will save you in court, but if you don't do the rest as recommended here, you don't get to court. It always made me both laugh and cringe when I as a prosector would outshoot most of the officers...

    what to do with my cell phone

    I've been carrying a pager or cell phone for over 10 years now, at the order of the boss. When I'm dressed to thrill, the phone goes in a pocket on vibrate. No one knows it is there unless I need it. Helps keep the vintage look...until the watch phone is perfected a la Dick Tracy!

    Apartment necessities

    A young lady I used to keep company with was given a Browning Hi Power by her father when she went off to law school. She was also given the lessons on how to use it, and she did very well with it. Seriously, some means of protecting one's self is not a bad idea. Several companies make door...

    Best WWII museums

    If you ever find yourself near Dayton, Ohio and have a few hours to kill, I highly recommend you take a trip over to the U.S. Air Force Museum, Great exhibits covering everything from the origins of flight through the Gulf War. It's free to the general public, so you can't beat the costs. The...

    1911

    I have a Springfield 1911-A1, the Mil Spec model. Function is excellent. I've replaced the stock grips with a set of Hogue wood grips. However, the mil-spec grip safety tears up my hand if I shoot more than 50 rounds in a session. So, when money becomes available, I plan on making this a...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    From the WWII era, I have many aircraft that I am fond of, but the P-38 tops my list. Love the looks. (for some unknown reason I cannot upload a picture here at work! :rage: )
