and the military uses video simulators for everything. Every aircraft used has its simulator. I watched a B 52 crew running in air refueling sims. Back in '69 when I was a new butter bar in the Air Force, training to be a weapons director, the weapon being a fighter interceptor, we used...- jkingrph

Backyard barbeques - 'member them?
I hear you about dining inside to stay out of the heat and humidity and away from the flying and creepy crawlers, but I sure do enjoy the stuff cooked on my Big Green Egg. If I could afford it I would have an outdoor kitchen, screened in with a big vent hood and several ceiling fans, but I...- jkingrph

Cookin' some pork!
We are going to meet my son and family over in NE Louisiana over Easter weekend. I just bought a large Boston butt roast and the wife has a large pork loin thawing. In a couple of days I will put them in my Big Green egg for 10-12 hours for the Boston butt, less for the loin as I do not want...- jkingrph

Nice, I have always wanted a Krag. I saw what looked like a very nice model at a gun show in Tyler, Tx some years back but when examining it I saw what I thought was a crack in the receiver. The guy selling it said it was not but I passed on it . I could actually feel what felt like a...- jkingrph

That was my thinking, but I have no problem holstering with the factory grips which fit my hand quite well. I thing Herrett's makes field or 1911 style grips for it.- jkingrph

AH Yes, S&W 41. That's probably my favorite 22 handgun surpassing my old K 22. Which barrel did you get. I got the long one with the Patridge front sight,then a year or so later I found a field barrel with a red ramp front sight. I probably like that configuration. It seems to balance more...- jkingrph

Backyard barbeques - 'member them?
I got a Big Green Egg a couple of years ago and have really enjoyed it. I quickly learned to place a disposable aluminum baking pan with some water on the ceramic plate between the charcoal and the grills to catch drippings and keep them from burning. With the top and bottom vents, I can...- jkingrph

That 11mm should be more than adequate for home defense, after all it was used by the military. 11mm is about 44 cal, a rather large bullet by todays standards, and even being propelled by black powder I would not care to be struck by it.- jkingrph

Nice, I still have the old Marlin 336 SC in .35 Rem my father bought back in 1952. When he got older I loaded it with some cast .38 special bullets (.357) 158gr semi wadcutters so he could shoot it with lowered recoil and load it up for home defense. About the same time he bought me 39a...- jkingrph

Safari Express rifle pic thread
Nice, probably a bit out of my price range, plus expensive to shoot, but I would love one. Actually I would like a nice sxs double rifle in something like 38-55 or .405 Win., not too small nor too big, just for fun mind you. A couple of years ago I found a CZ 550 Safari American in .375...- jkingrph

W When I was active duty AF, qualified with the M-16 in basic, then the 38 revolver when in OCS. I had a personal S&W K 38 back home so was very familiar with the Combat Masterpiece we used. Then in 10 years active never touched a govt owned firearm. I got back in reserves some years...- jkingrph

I honestly cannot tell much if any difference in operation. The Adams Arms units that I installed have three positions on the cylinder plug where you can adjust gas pressure to the piston for different cycling rates, and one more that is off that converts the rifle to a single shot...- jkingrph

I got caught up in the build your own bug about five years ago and ended up building five rifles. I was interested in two specific things, the 6.5 Grendel cartridge and the gas piston systems, I built three Grendels and two in 5.56 using premium barrels, ie White Oak, along with Adams Arms...- jkingrph

Hats in restaurants
My sentiments exactly, as I have previously posted in other threads along this line. I simply cannot afford to have even one of the lower priced hats such as an Akrubra stolen or damaged, much less one of my custom hats, some into the $600 cost range a few years ago. If it is just my wife... -
