@@danielcurtis8746 Keep only one in the fridge at a time and force yourself to wait longer and longer before drinking it. Eventually, stop buying them altogether and try to do as much stuff as possible once your stash has fully dried up. Going out, games, shooting, gunsmithing, books, whatever. I quit drinking beer alone that way. Having none in the fridge means I can't just decide to drink one during a moment of weakness - i would have to plan it a couple of hours in advance. It's been 1,5 month now and I saved so much money. You can do it too, courage!

Clark Gable and Roy Rogers were reportedly shooting skeet. Gable couldn't hit a clay and blamed his gun. Rogers offered to buy the gun and Gable agreed to sell it. Roy proceeded to hit every clay with that "defective" gun.

[@hickok45]

Good one, and that sort of thing happens regularly, I'm sure. It's so easy to blame the tool. Sometimes it IS the gun because the sights are off, but even in those cases, it's not really the gun. The gun is fine, and maybe the shooter is actually very competent; the sights just need to be adjusted properly.

I had the most vivid dream this morning that I ran into Hickock at a gun show while traveling through Tennessee , and offered him a ride home. During the ride we determined he was a pretty cool dude.

He's probably a cool dude regardless.

Sgt. Alvin York of Tennessee carried a U.S. M1917 Lee-Enfield and a 1911 .45 in WWI. His Enfield fired the American 30.06. It didn't matter to Sgt. York because his marksmanship was legendary. When a German saw York drawing a bead on him he immediately threw down his weapons and surrendered. Sgt. York once brought in 132 prisoners.

I inherited a MKIII from my dad when he passed. It was made in 1917. He bought it in the early 60s some time. It had already been sporterized by someone else when he bought it. It was Dads deer rifle. Sprorter stock and scope mount and scope were all that had been done. I would like to find original stock assembly for correct year. Just to give it its original look. I also have a 2A MKIII..308. It was made in 1966. Interesting how much the bolt was redesigned on the 2A but still retained the original look.

I own 10 Lee Enfields No.1 Mk lll No.4 Mk-1 and No.5 jungle carbines. I have a No.1Mk.1 too. For my money the Lee Enfield is the best bolt action military rifle ever produced. If I had to go to war with a bolt gun make mine a Lee Enfield. It can fire as fast as an M-1 nearly. The 1911 is my choice for a combat weapon I carried one since 1971 both in the military and as a police officer.

owning a firearm, is (well should be) a responsible decision. it makes sense so many shooters are good people. need to be responsible enough to own a firearm legally. if you can do that it means you are likely not a hot head, have avoided felonies and can control anger. plus many of us probably feel safer since we train, and can and will defend ourselves and homes if shit goes down. many are helpless if they get assaulted or have a home break in, so they live in fear, not comfort and peace. just a few of many reasons most shooters tend to be good people. another great sunday, cant wait for spring to start springin for you over there in the great state of TN
