Sonny Michalsky I talked to Sonny this morning and discussed his water skiing. He said he remembered two runs barefoot at 96 and 98 mph. He said he had one run on a ski at 117 mph. He said there was absolutely no truth the rumor that he skied totally naked on the San Jac river.

Operation Olympic I am in the same boat with Jackie on this one. My dad made landings on Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima with the 3rd Mar Div. He was lucky enough to leave all 3 islands standing. Iwo Jima was Feb-March , 1945. The division went back to Guam for recuperation, replacements...

Great Info here It has been great reading this discussion on brass. It has been discussed by folks with a little understanding and common sense. In other places, it has turned into an all out cuss fight between those that think they know everything and those that know what they have seen in...

A high school classmate of mine is a collector of anvils. He has them from colonial times made in England, southern civil war anvils with the horn broken off by union troops so they were unusable, to a really large one that came from a long shoremans dock on the Houston Ship channel. It is...

Looks like he is getting ready for a shoot in Midland.

Precision Ballistics I know these aren't over the counter variety but Don Lahrs at Precision Ballistics in Nevada makes a large selection of 6.5 bullets. They are both FB and boattail and range from 110 gr to 142.

Catholic Church It seems that the church has changed its stance on guns in the past year or so. Our new priest is a concealed carry guy and is always armed. The previous priest wouldn't even let our club rent the parish hall for a meeting. I think it changed around the time of the shooting in...

Kick EEZ The one on the rifle looks like a Kick EEZ. I see that the HiViz also has the large holes for accessing the screws without wallowing an ugly hole in the pad. I had several of these on my shotguns and they were made out of something called sorbathane. And the Kick EEZ did have a way...

water Virtually all of the water that drains from the Houston/Harris county area dumps into the Houston Ship Channel. Either through the Buffalo Bayou system or the San Jacinto River a little farther downstream. Someone said this morning on TV that there is so much water dumping into the...

Simply a guess I was in the Turbo Machine shop in Odessa back in the mid 80's. One of the salesmen was showing me a rifling tool and said that Flash was going to get into the barrel business. Could be that it was made by Flash and Cecil gave him the specs.

783 Here is a thread from Accurate Shooter. may provide some help. http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/black-friday-remington-783-is-it-worth-it.3888522/

remington bullets A couple of years ago, I bought some 22 cal 50 and 55 gr PLHP bullets that had concaved bases like that. I only shot them in a factory rifle and they shot fairly good.

Might try these folks. It looks like they make .17 rimfire but maybe not .177 http://www.gmriflebarrel.com/catalog.aspx?catid=77-22.22lrbarrels

This is from Powder Valley Wolf small rifle primers « Reply #4 on: 09:46 AM, 10/15/10 »QuoteWe just went through our inventory of Tula. By the way, Tula and Wolf are the exact same primer. The only thing difference is the color of the box and name. Everything else is exactly the same right...

I too received the public service announcement on an email. It did not include the comments from the Gunsite Instructor. Was the Gunsite comments in that email or was it found somewhere else? Natiional Gun Club sends out programs and several motels there advertise special shooter rates...

I would think that Gretan Rifles should be able to get it back in about a week. That is what it takes to have the fireing pin hole repaired. http://www.gretanrifles.com/
