Botach advertisement in CPF - Very disapointed
OK. How bout "a chance for redemption"? -
Botach advertisement in CPF - Very disapointed
I received bad service from Botach several years ago so I stopped using them and posted my experience for other CPF'ers to see. Based upon what seems to be an upfront approach and admission of the past problems, I agree with Greta and support her decision to let them advertise. I've been given... -
Any gunsmiths in our community?
De ja vu' all over again! I was the last BCT cycle to go thru Ft Polk w/ M1's. I can remember the serial # but not my wedding anniversary. -
Any gunsmiths in our community?
Ok. On topic. Advice. You've already committed to the course. You'll probably wind up with a FFL and a shop. Years ago, I was partner in a small shop. We didn't do well because we only bought guns that we thought were neat and that we wanted to play with, not the guns that would sell... -

Cool. Like TooMany said, join the NRA and your state affiliate. -
Globalization: a tangent to Fort Hood
Wow. Good thread. Cage, you mention the Mujahideen -- our CIA and Stinger missles are the primary reason the Russians chose to leave. We then abandoned our Muj allies, just as we did those in SEAsia a few years earlier. I tend to think sometimes about "what if". What if we had kept a... -
Metal embedded in OSB - hit with saw
Happened to me once a couple of years ago. Just a small piece of sheet metal. I've heard several stories of the same from credible sources. Just one more reason to always wear eye protection. -
Wife is afraid of the Oklahoma bears...need more light for camping.
Actually, there are probably a few black bears in SE and E Oklahoma. Just don't tell anyone.- BIGIRON

South Park Season Opener
It's just the miles and whiskey dents. I'm actually 28. -
South Park Season Opener
I guess if someone has the time, we might have a poll as to favorite episode (a'la MASH). My top three, in no order, would be "Redman's Greed", "Grey Dawn" and the "Pious" one. Although I did greatly enjoy the song "Peter Cottontail" in Latin. -
Master thread for disasters and generators.
Re: Honda EU2000i vs. Yamaha EF2400iS What TD said about cutting cable w/bolt cutters. Cable can be had in different "hardness" so don't just grab some at Home Depot. Check yellow pages for "cable/wire rope" particularly someone who may service the crane industry or oil patch. They'll...- BIGIRON

Botched Watch Repair?
At that price range and since you bought the add-on warranty (where most of the $$'s go to the retailer) I'd insist on a new watch from the retailer. Good luck.- BIGIRON

Why did you name yourself "that" nickname for forum?
Yeah, Patriot. Thought I'd change my screen name to "InsuranceMan". Keep watching the space. I'm looking thru some old pics. -
Why did you name yourself "that" nickname for forum?
This is a fun thread. Mine is my real "call" - i.e. military, or other "offficial" nickname. Someone must give it to you. You can't make up your own call. For years I was a US Army MP. I lived, ate and slept with a 1911 (.45 auto pistol). When I left the military, I worked for a civilian... -
Bugs in my Tomato Plants !
I swear that Avon "Skin so Soft" repels chiggers, ticks and skeeters. You just have to tolerate the smell itself (smells like Grandma's perfume).
