WONDER WOMAN
The Not We wife and I saw the thing Saturday. The Good: While it was a historical in the Doctor Who sense of not letting historic fact get in the way of a good story, the team did their homework for the most part. The costuming was on point, small arms too. The Scot's P14 sniper rifle was what...- plain old dave

Type 99 Arisaka. WW2 bringback, and there's Submarine Force content. The antiaircraft sight wings are missing. Deleted from this piece due to material shortages caused by Mush Morton and his shipmates in the Silent Service. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk- plain old dave

The Triple Lock is the single most elegant DA revolver ever made. Ever. I'm almost ashamed to post this Hi Power knockoff. Vintage content is the Inglis style grips. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk- plain old dave

Weapons in the Movies
Couple things. Cartridge conversion Colts: Probably the most iconic Colt conversion was one carried by Geraldine Kearns (Chief Dan George's lady friend) in the classic Outlaw Josey Wales. Next time you watch the movie, note her "1860 Army" doesn't have a rammer under the barrel. Never mind that...- plain old dave

OK, thanks. Not expecting PLL performance, but something other than Brother Stair might be good. Re-treated all positions in the bandswitch, worked through all of them for 10 evolutions or so, now to let it sit. EDIT: Tried it a few minutes ago, booming on 49m, but BC is way down. Thinking the...- plain old dave

1949-50 vintage G-500 Zenith Transoceanic. Was a bit hesitant to plug it in, but I did. Plays ok on BC, and I got Brother Stair on 49m. It chirps at full volume, thinking the AF tube has gone microphonic. Recap, tubes as required, and alignment and we should be good. Not saying what I paid...- plain old dave

Annoying modern trends...
I hate threadhogging, but there seems to be no way to edit. Men with undershave haircuts and long beards. Announcement: If you don't know how to do basic household tasks, change a tire, or as an addition field dress game.... SHAVE. What has been called the "professional Veteran." This cat...- plain old dave

Annoying modern trends...
My nominees: Clothes. Skinny everything. "Retro." (1970s-80s LOOKING) Flip flops. Uggs. For the ladies, tights as trousers. Cars. Tachometers and floor shift in EVERYTHING. Any color you want, as long as it's white, black or some shade of gray. Other. Smartphones. Black, matte colored and...- plain old dave

It's not a "model 10." Smith and Wesson didn't have ANY numbered models until 1957. It's formally a .38 Special Model 1899 Military and Police Hand Ejector. Some call them the First Model, others the 1899. This: 1899 or First Model. This with the underbarrel lug: 1902. Add a Square Butt...- plain old dave

What did the film stars of the 1920s-1930s make of the 1950s-1960s?
It seems like I read, heard, or saw somewhere that Andy Griffith intended The Andy Griffith Show to be a biopic of his youth in Depression era Appalachian North Carolina. Come on, what city in 1960 North Carolina, especially a county seat, wouldn't have paved roads in town? That said, the...- plain old dave

The Mighty Eighth: New $500M HBO series from Spielberg/Hanks
THIS. Do the Submarine Service; Thunder Below, Wake of the Wahoo, and War Beneath The Waves are three outstanding source texts. With an @20% casualty rate, there was a very good possibility that the average WW2 US Submarine Sailor knew somebody on a boat classified "Late, Presumed Lost." Or...- plain old dave
