The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I just saw this. So hard to read, I remember back when he aquired the Board way back when. I know he put tons of hours into this so we all could enjoy it. Many thanks to him, JYD and the Admins that keep it running to this day.

I have a few Penns and one knock off that looks like a Penn. Also have a Garcia/Mitchell and a huge Pflueger exactly like the reel that Ernest Hemingway used. Thing weighs a ton !! I build rods, well try too anyway, I'm still a rookie. But I plan on making a rod like what he used, took pics while v...

That's amazing !! One of my all time favorite films. Thanks for sharing.

I don't collect them, but I do have four that are in my defensive weapons arsenal. 1897 Winchester trench gun, real one, not a Chinesium knockoff, Winchester Model 12 trench gun that had it's stock cut back for ruck gun use in Vietnam, Beretta A300 former British military stainless steel autoloader...

How many people out there collect old Military used or LEO used Shotguns ? Love to see pictures / hear stories about them if anyone wants to share.

As I've said many times........ Al for President !!!!!!!!

Thanks

Thanks Boss. I knew that Okie passed some time back. :vsad: His products were so simple even I could use them. Maybe I'll find mine someday. I used it on all of my M-N but my pre 1900 unit hasn't been checked. Figure it better be checked out of all of them. I am told nobody is making this gauge, Oki...

I have either misplaced or flat out lost my 7.62 Okie Headspace Gauge. :b sad: :oops: :redfaced: I found my .303 but the 7.62 wasn't with it. So the only way to find it is to buy a new one. Now my problem, I tried doing a search on headspace gauge and got over 700 returns. So I have to bother the re...

I vote leave it as well. Your mileage may vary.

For sure not to be messed with! The skillset of those guys was amazing. Communications, demolition, sharpshooters, camouflage experts, recon, and many more. I'm working on his second SOG book now, it's as amazing as the first.The things they did and places they went...... just . They went to Laos an...

Been reading a book about the SOG Studies and Observation Group. I thought it sounded like guys with transits and a steel tape and a camera. Holy cow not even close. Total bad asses doing the most incredibly dangerous jobs. The most secret and elite force in the War. Amazing what those guys did in L...

I passed out once a few years ago. Sober even..... Never happened before or since. Was standing up going to walk out of the room and down I went. Was only out a few seconds, scary as hell.

That looks like loads of fun. Congrats !!!!

Congrats!!

What a fine brace of shootin irons !!! JMB would be proud to see that pic.

So much awesomeness. :Drool1: :thumbsup: Always wanted one. Reminds me of a story, :o " A guy I know ", and his brother who has a Ruger Blackhawk .357 mag and 40 some years ago were riding in the country and the guy got the brilliant idea to shoot it at a fence post. Being a brain surgeon ...

Agreed 100% Cool yes, but what a shooting experience. When I had the chance to shoot one years ago there was no hearing protection available. Huh, whad ya say ??????
