re: Remington 700 misfire issues
Posted by Hawgon on 3/20/13 at 9:18 pm
Was it cold that morning? It is just a simple matter of having gunk in the bolt. Powder residue and oil and the like get in the bolt and gunk up the firing pin spring and the like. Most of the time it isn't a problem, but get a cold morning and it can actually give enough resistance to not fire.
Disassemble the bolt and spray the whole thing down with cleaner/degreaser, put it together and rock on for another 17 years.

Actually, it depends. If he were a yeoman or former man at arms, he would probably know quite a bit about fighting, of all types...even with a sword.
English bowmen are a good example of VERY common men who had great fighting skills, even with swords as that most battles involving bowmen, ended up with them joining the general melee with daggers and swords once the ranks joined.

re: anyone own a cheaper 1911?

I'd get a Rock Island and never look back. They are good guns. Most of the differences are about refinements and not function. Many of the things people gripe about are just the way things are on any barebones 1911. Some people just don't like basic 1911s and think they have to be improved with various features. Even so, Rock Island makes some models with those features as well for considerably less than other places.
And if you don't want to take my word for it, read this:

re: Why are hollowpoints banned for use in war?
Posted by Hawgon on 3/11/13 at 2:21 pm
Because the purpose of war is not to kill people, but rather to impose a political solution through the use of force.

I would suggest acetone or paint thinner.

Oh, there are dozens of actors who could do a better Doug MacArthur, they just aren't stars of Jone's caliber.
Just from the few trailers and previews I've seen, I predict that Tommy Lee Jones as General Douglas MacArthur will go down in history as one of the most spectacularly bad casting choices of all time.
If anybody bothers to see the movie, that is.

Fluffy? Those bobcats are so big that I wouldn't let my kid alone in the backyard unattended in that neighborhood.

Last night's episode for one. But if you read English, you'll see that I don't think it has jumped the shark but rather expressed hope that it hasn't.

This was the kind of episode that makes me wonder why I like this show so much. I really hope this show hasn't jumped the shark, but last night was just not very good television.

A twenty year old Marlin from a pawn shop. It is twice the gun a new Marlin is.
re: Deer ribs
Posted by Hawgon on 1/30/13 at 10:40 am
Sometimes, not every time, but sometimes if I feel like it, I just run a filet knife in between each rib and take that little thin section of meat out. It takes about five minutes to do all the ribs. I then cut those little thin strips up and use them as stew meat. I use the stew meat to make what I call deer tips and rice.

The really funny thing about the Boston Harbor bullet was that the investigator said that it was so spent by the time it hit the woman driving down the road, that if her window had been up, the window would have almost certainly stopped or deflected it enough that it wouldn't have even hit her.

water I can believe but ricocheting off a fricking pig?
If it hit the pig in the head at an angle, I can believe it. Pigs have some hard heads. There was a game cam pic floating around a few years ago with one walking around with an arrow sticking straight out of his forehead. He was walking around like nothing was wrong.
And remember, in France, that pig wasn't a "pig" but a European boar that might have weight 400 pounds.

shite happens. There was a case back in the 70s where a guy was just messing around and shooting a buoy waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in Boston Harbor I think it was with an old .303. Anyway, the bullet ricocheted off the water and traveled a mile or so before hitting a woman in the back of the head she was driving down a road beside the harbor. Bad luck all the way around. The really funny thing is that she was driving with all her windows up except for her back driver's side window that was cracked a couple inches because she was smoking. The bullet went through that crack and killed her without breaking a window.

I've got a Browning Gold and I know a lot of people talk bad about them, but mine has never hiccupped at all. It will shoot the lightest dove load and the heaviest 3.5 inch load back-to-back with no problems and it is really really soft on the shoulder.
If you want to go soft on the shoulder and inexpensive, or relatively so, get on Gunbroker and find a nice twenty year old 3inch magnum Remington 1100.
