  1. I love a good .410, its a shame that shells are so expensive for them. That was my first shotgun, field grade model 42 Winchester in full choke. I nailed everything from squirrels to turkey with it. It was my great uncles that was supposed to go to me when he passed. His family had an auction of all his guns and I never got a chance at it. I ran across it at a gun show a few years back with a $1700 price tag on it. The blood stain on the barrel where the blueing came off and scars on the receiver where I dropped it was what gave it away. I have seen it several times since then on the same table at other shows, but can't seem to part with the money for it. I have a single barrel that I use, bought it for the daughter. I will inherit the Winchester single shot that Grandpa used to carry when Dad goes on. I will even have a nice little .410 Judge that Dad had to have for his little rattlesnake problem then too.
  2. Pumping the exhaust into the water filters it out just fine.
  3. Not me, did MDC create that one too? I yearn for the old days when it was all MDC bashin.
  4. Dam, MDC brought bigfoots here too. First the otters, then the pigs, then mountain lions and bears. Now a bigfoot. What kind of a sh--hole state are we running here?
  5. Dropped from 59 to 35 degrees here on the drive home tonite. I think winter is still hanging around.
  6. Check all screws on stock to make sure they are still tight. I had forearm screws back out on the Stoeger and gun went bezerk. Thought I had blown a scope. Went from hero to zero all of a sudden, scratched my head for a while, jacked with it a couple of afternoons. Then noticed the screws on the forearm were wobbly. Blue loc tite and a few pellets got me back in the black.
  7. $500 is still a long way from a centerfire after you add scope.
  8. Messy but they eat lots of bugs. I need to thin the sparrows out from the feeders. They fly in and scatter the food all over the ground picking out what they want. Nasty invasive species like the starlings.
  9. Interesting to see where the lower end Walther is made. S&W imported the handguns several years back. Then they partnered with Umarex and distributed them out of Fort Smith Ark. Looks like the high end Olympic grade stuff is still made in Germany by Carl Walther Sportwaffen. Combination of the two companies has probably helped the Umarex out, they make some quality stuff now.
  10. Yep. Let me know when you cook some up, I'll drop by and let you feed me.
  11. Drive to Springfield.
  12. Crap, I missed the fishing thing at Collinsville this weekend?
  13. Why are we back to carp again. I was just getting interested in the beaver sidetrack.
  14. I am going to pull a carp on this one. Leave NO Trace
  15. Looks like facebook is back
  16. My best spots don't have cell service. And my GPS is always off cause I know where I am......
  17. But he stated others that use Hughesnet in area having same issue, that would rule out his personal router.
  18. His data plan may charge extra for that. Is he having problems on any other sites? Something may have triggered Hughesnet firewall to block OA web for some reason if others that use Hughesnet are having same problem with OA. Hughesnet tech support should come up with an answer for him if he has the time to deal with their support net. I was using a hospitals public wifi the other day and all emails on my web based email that had guns were blocked. One of the filters they set up thru their admin. Its a stretch, but when you did a switch, it may have triggered something on Hughesnet. Especially if others have the same problem. If I read his problem right, not a browser or os problem if he uses phone carrier network and it works. Something related directly to Hughesnet network is going on.
  19. Your original post is blank now.
  20. If it is all devices he owns trying to go thru the same carrier, may be carrier issue. Try setting him up a test account with new login and password and see what happens.
  21. When you say its your carriers fault, then they need to figure it out on their end. Probably a firewall issue on your carrier side. May have something to do with net neutrality, expect a bill.... No issues on this side of the state. Forum has not had any hitches in a long time here.
  22. I am confused. This morning, his post said his Facebook Page had been deleted. I just thought someone had hacked his Facebook page. I was waiting for the rest of the story, maybe a carp hater that did not like him. Dam fake news got me again.
  23. I have used Orvis Braided Leaders for years and love them. Bought some of the raw material and make my own for big water rigs. Can't duplicate the taper for smaller rigs.
  24. Whats Facebook? Never went down that road.
