  1. Wait I recognize that target! It's Popeye the Sailor! The one squinky eye, the frown, all that's missing is the pipe.
  2. I like the way the "Upper A/B Zone" appears to be frowning, but wait that wouldn't be PC
  3. Maybe you shouldn't be reloading if: You're not bright enough to remember to put the &*#$% cotter pin back in the primer tube BEFORE you refill the tube.
  4. "All your Base are belong to us!"
  5. I've used the CBC brass with excellent results. I bought a couple thousand pieces new 2 years ago to use at lost brass matches. The new brass worked very well and was very consistant. The only problem I've encountered is fired brass nests in the 1050 case feeder tube and jams up occassionally. Unfired brass never had that problem, but once it's fired and the case mouth expands slightly that beveled case rim will nest in the expanded case mouth. So far no problems with split cases after 4 or 5 loadings with the brass I have left over.
  6. Maybe you're a little too tired to be reloading if...... you pull the fifth round out of the press to check the O.A.L. and discover you forgot to fill the primer tube and you're loading with SP2 Maybe you're a little too distracted to be reloading if..... you dump the powder into the case feeder instead of the powder measure and you're loading with 7625 Maybe you're in too much of a hurry to be reloading if.... you install the 38 Special tool head instead of the 38 Super and you're puzzled why the powder measure isn't working Maybe you're trying to load a little bit too fast to be reloading if.... you seat the bullet and a nice sized chunk of finger meat in that 40 S&W case Maybe you're a little too hung over to be reloading if.... you re-install the same 40 S&W tool head you just took off instead of the 38 Super that you wanted Maybe you shouldn't be reloading and just go back to bed if.... you take off the bloody 40 S&W tool head you just re-installed and put on the blankity, blanking 38 Super tool head and discover you left the flippin' 40 S&W shellplate on....after you've loaded 200 high primered 38 Supers Maybe you shouldn't be reloading if????????
  7. Watch it on DVD and check out the commentaries. The behind the scenes is funnier than the movie. The multiple takes of the scene where they drink the maple syrup is priceless.
  8. Thanks everybody! I'll try to do a video clip of me blowing out the forest fire, er candles on the cake by blowing the foam off my green beer with me trusty Open blaster! Now I can go get my bifocals (I swore I wouldn't get them until I turned 50) and only 20 more years until I can try Viagra

    Ouch!!

    I feel your pain! Back when I was shooting a Caspian Open gun I shaved the fingerprints off the pad of my left index finger. I managed to get my left index finger right on the nose of the top bullet in the mag just like you're supposed to on the reload. What I didn't manage to do was remove said finger before RAMMING the mag into the magwell. For those of you who've never had the pleasure, the leading edge of the mag just below the bullet nose somehow becomes razor sharp on all Caspian mags no matter how often they are deburred. Fortunately the bloody chunk of meat shaved off the pad of my finger didn't jam the gun, but it wasn't easy seeing the targets through the tears.
  11. OK, so it ain't Raisin Bread, but.... An old man slowly hobbles into the Ice Cream Parlor and as soon as he crosses the threshold he loudly orders a Banana Split. The cute young woman behind the counter says "What kind of Ice Cream" Still shuffleling slowly across the floor the old man says "Chocolale, Vanilla, & Strawberry" The young lady asks "What flavors of syrup?" Drawing near the counter the old man replies "Pineapple, Hot Fudge, & Strawberry" Just as the old man groaningly climbs up on the bar stool the young lady asks "Crushed Nuts?" "Nope" the old man snaps "Rheumatism!"
  12. Yup, the feelin's mutual! We miss the Littman's, it's just not the same without Dave and Kathy. And to think that they missed out getting to vote for Arhnold! But, I do feel better knowing that they aren't missing the Bay Area gas prices, gridlock, Kalifornia Judges and Politicians, etc.... Mona says HI!
  13. Oh the online gaming forums are a crackup. My HoserCam website gets a LOT of hits from various military gaming forums. It's pretty easy to tell the 12-13 year olds from the adults (the adults can spell, well sometimes) The profiles are always worth a few chuckles, a good tip off is: Location: On a beer run! which translates to "Wish I was old enough to drink" Location: If I tell you, I'll have to kill you! translates "I'm living with the parental units" Occupation: Heartbreaker, Life taker translates "Fart breaker, No Lifer" Interests: Blondes, Fast cars, guns and life on the edge! translates "Never been on a date, borrows Dad's Taurus, watches Fear Factor" What I do hate is how they instantly start knocking the "Tactical" aspects of my videos, this of course is right after they identify my Open blaster as a .357 Desert Eagle with a 14 round mag and I've just fired 30 rounds without reloading. If you want a few chuckles pm or email me and I'll send you some links.
  14. I'll be going and probably shooting Open or maybe Limited or maybe Open or whichever gun is running best. Hopefully I'll be able to afford to get a vendors table again for the HoserCam.
  15. I really like the standard wide STI serrations front and rear. Mine are so sharp it feels like you could shave with them, BUT despite several years of heavy use I've never cut myself on them. Yeah, yeah I know, what would I know about shaving! Seriously, I like the way the gun looks with front and rear serrations and I like they way the wide serrations work. If I wanted skateboard tape, I would still be riding my skateboard. I'm not spending $K dollars for a gun that looks like a "Junkyard Wars" gun, I want "Star Wars"!
  16. One of the nicer things about Front Site is we, the average reader, can actually contribute to the magazine and get our articles published instead of just pirated by the editorial staff. I've had several articles printed, as have other forum members. If you want more tournament coverage, go shoot the matches and then write the article! Hey, they'll even pay you for it!
  17. So far I haven't been able to stump this one! Guess the Dictator or Television Sit-Com Character
  18. A relatively new magazine is out for the SASS competitors called 'SHOOT' it has a lot of the same flavor as 'GUNGAMES'. 'SHOOT' seems to have a large advertising base and a good sized subscription base so it should be profitiable. I think there is a market for a strictly shooting competition magazine, not that I'll be risking any of my vast fortune to back up that claim. 'GUNGAMES' was mostly an IPSC and Fast Draw oriented magazine with a tidbit here and there on other shooting sports. I think Wally didn't cover enough of the other sports to build a large enough audience/advertising base and overspent on the quality of the magazine. He may have been a couple of years early as well and missed the real boom in SASS.

    Comp Cleaning

    Hello Randy, I've used the cheapie $45.00 portable Outers Foul Out to clean the lead out of my comp many times. It takes a while but it does a pretty good job. To save on the Lead Out chemical and any possible barrel pitting I plug the barrel and tape up any side vents in the comp with duct tape. Then I insert the Foul Out rod through the exit port in the comp using one of the Outers O-rings to seal the port and rod. I clamp the barrel horizontally in a vise and fill the comp chambers with the Lead Out chemical and turn on the Foul Out. Every couple of hours I clean off the collected lead from the rod and top off the Lead Out chemical. I heard rumors but have never been able to verify them about the Foul Out pitting barrels if left too long so I block off the barrel when I'm cleaning the comp because it can take several hours or longer if it's really lead fouled.
  20. Check your ejector as well. The rear leg broke on one of my ejectors and it caused a similar type of malfunction. The ejector would pivot on the front leg just a little bit causing the ejector to catch on the slide. It would stop about 1/8 inch short of battery.

    Changing Tires

    Erik, Get a set of these tools: Bead Stop Bead Breaker (although a big C-clamp works just fine) Bead Tool Available at: tire tools I've used similar tools on my old Harley's with the taper bead base rims which are a bear to work with especially the fat 16 inch rear tires.
  22. There are two ways of adding bigger wheels. One way is to remove the standard wheels and push out the stock axle. Replace the stock axle with a longer axle and spacers (plastic conduit works fine) so the larger wheels will clear the fenders. If the cart doesn't have fenders you're home free. You will have to find larger wheels that fit the stock axle diameter. I retain the wheels by drilling holes through the end of the axles and use a large washer and a large spring clip {Serv-A-Lite 3/32x1-5/8 Hitch pin stock # 532-b } My Stanley cart has holes in the wheel hubs so I just stuck a 1/2 inch dia. axle through the holes, rotated the wheels so the axle was against the back of the cart and mounted a couple of clamps to lock the axle in place. Conduit clamps will work, but I notched a couple pieces of aluminum U channel and used them as clamps. I put backing plates behind the body of the cart to reinforce the mounting clamps. I used plastic pipe or conduit to space the wheels out from the stock wheels and fenders and retain the wheels with the hitch pins. I bought everything at Orchard Supply Hardware, but Lowes, Homeless Despot, etc... should have something similar.
  23. I use an old non-functional refrigerator. I put the primers in the freezer section and the powder in the main section. The magnetic gasket will fail in the event of a fire and vent the interior to prevent an explosion. The insulation keeps the interior temp pretty uniform summer and winter (Well here in California anyway) I keep a big can of silica desicant in each compartment just make sure it stays dry. I put a hasp and padlock on it, but made sure the door will still open a couple of inches with the padlock in place.
