Like everything in life you always remember that "first time" the best

Paul ,I live just a few miles north of you. [Ellington AFB area] I might be interested in some. BTW How do you control the squirrels?

Evinrude tiller models in 1972' went from 3hp to 18hp that I know of , and offhand I'm pretty sure they went up to 25hp . That covers a lot of territory . You'd help matters considerably if you told us what size you got.

That's a NICE Arisaka that looks to be in very good shape from the photos. It appears to be an early production model [early ones had much better quality wood and workmanship than ones made later] My father brought one back at the end of the war He was with the 38th Infantry div. and made...

You have my condolences sir. I sometimes wonder how long it will be before they ban fishing hooks and steak knives. I couldn't live like that. Your state would throw me under the jail for owning inanimate objects despite having a spotless "record" for my sixty years on this earth. :-D

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a Moisin , they took on Hitler's troops and did an admirable job. With some good reloads I've seen some that group very well [ 1 to 1 1/2 MOA]. If you have one that shoots surplus well you can't ask for a better bolt rifle that you can depend on for anywhere...

Any M1A , FN FAL or Hk91 owners out there? Enquiring minds want to know

I have a 96' 25 hp Nissan 2 stroke I absolutely love, starts easily, runs good, enough power, & pretty much bulletproof. She'll push my 14ft x 6ft wide Lowe V-bottom CC loaded around 25mph...The 25/30hp are built by Tohatsu. If this one is indicative of the brand I'd buy another in a heartbeat...

Yall are welcome to do whatever you want , but I believe I'll pass. Though it's a good move to stop the line & maybe the further spread of this. You did the right thing. Showing your a responsible hunter interested in more than just todays trophy but the betterment of the herd will solidify a...
