    Well,  you know your rifles, it is a 67, I "kilt" a lot of ground squirrels with it.

    Well I'll be darned. After I saw that picture I looked in my gun safe and I have one. It was my mother's. Her brother bought it for her graduation in 1956 I believe. I haven't shot it in many years. The stock isn't as pretty as that one.

    I think part of my problems with the Smith and Wesson MP 15-22 is loading the magazines properly  , they have to be perfectly staggered and pushed all the way to the rear of the magazine or it can jam when loading  ---- does yours have the blue spring , if not S+W will replace it free under warranty but you have to send it to them , read the early models had a different spring ,  the blue spring  suppressively makes it more friendly to any bullets 

    I have 4 mags and none have a blue spring. About 3 years old. When I load I depress the loading button only enough to get one bullet in at a time. I know some of the early models had a problem and you had to tweek the bolt guide rod a bit.

    My 10-22 and Marklll Hunter like Federal, CCI and Aquila. Remington green box don't cycle at all. Too much case lube. My M&P 15-22 likes most everything and is extremely accurate.

    Yesterday I made the leap to try synthetic rope on the winch on my Rubicon. My steel cable was trashed. Put on KFI rope and a KFI polymer roller fairlead which was recommended. Probably be awhile before I need to try it but I won't miss strands of steel poking through my gloves.

    For walleye I use St. Croix rods and Shimano Symetre reels. I like Daiwa Sealine line counter reels for downrigging or longline trolling. Baitcasters are Abu C-5's.

    i bit more high tech then what i have, i reckon I'm just the old schook type, but a very impressive collection, anytime you wish to take a trip down south, I'm sure the people here would enjoy having the wild hog population thinned out. 

    That would be a hoot. Got quite a few around?

    Agreed.  We have a shorter barrel one here.  I'll probably get my own but my wife's home defense is the 12 gauge and her single-stack .380.

    My wife's standard response to any emergency is to panic, completely lose her mind and scream.

    Our 5" of snow melted down to less than 2". Will be gone today. A Timberwolf strolled by camp last night. Gotta keep our dogs close so they don't end up being lunch. Supposed to be close to 60 degrees today.

    We were supposed to get snow here but that fizzled out. Went 15 miles on the wheelers and I found the remains of two really old log camps I was looking for. Found this decorative part of a wood stove buried at one.

    Hope you guys down south are ok. Our snow is gone. Heading back to the hunting shack tomorrow. Supposed to be 2"-5" of snow Saturday, we'll see. I would rather have this weather than those tornadoes. We get one very occasionally.

    The drill guys know what angle they come up at, so they are feeding the pipe into the hole at the same angle....

    Not in this case. It is welded as far as you can see and then they are setting it in a trench.
