I live in Louisiana. We have the finest judges money can buy. :D

Same thing happened at theoildrum.com after the gulf oil leak. The regulars added the following to the Terms of Service: "To sign up to this forum you are required to place a plastic bag over your head and secure it around your neck with a zip tie. When the screen starts to get dark click OK."...

Will post a pic once the statute of limitations runs out. :D

Everything a man could want. High voltage, fast car, remote control toys... I take it the thermonuclear device and the 20 something girl lacking a gag reflex are kept in the safe? Wait! Where is the keg? :beer:

Wow! That Benjamin rifle is incredible. I never actually handled one of that vintage... seen pictures. What's wrong with it? Benjamin and Sheridan pump guns are a lot of fun. Not really all that accurate beyond 25 yards or so, but very nostalgic and lots of fun. Love the Crosman Pumpmaster...

Ok. I'll give my reasons for ragging on Gamo. I'm going to compare three spring guns I have in my collection. The old school Beeman R1 (mine is like 12 years old), the Gamo Stutzen had it for a couple of years, and the Feinwerkbau 603. The Beeman and the Gamo are comparable in price ($500-$600...

Make sure you buy a spring gun air rifle scope, too. A regular rifle scope will get trashed by the recoil characteristics of a spring gun (or theoben gas ram). Spring guns recoil a lot different than a firearm. Also, never use a spring gun as a practice medium for a firearm.. Remember, a firearm...

Gamo's are real garbage. Even their high end models. Believe me I've owned quite a few of them. If you want a nice air rifle that will stand the test of time, that is quality and craftsmanship, something you can pass on to your kids... Gamo ain't it. Might I suggest a Beeman or a BSA. Mind you...

One of the coolest rounds sniper wise is the .510 Whisper. It's based on a cut down and necked up .338 Lapua case. It's a subsonic and very quiet when suppressed. Even though it's subsonic it loses very little velocity even out to a 1000+ yards. Throws a 750 grain bullet, too. Only has about...

I have a Red Ryder. :D I also have a Career 707 pre-charged pneumatic pellet gun. Throws an 80 grain 9mm pellet (pellet?) at around 850fps. It is bar none the ugliest gun in the world, but a load of fun to shoot. No pumping or hard springs to worry about. You do have to buy a scuba tank to fill...

Benjamins are made of brass usually unless it's a stainless model. The brass ones most of the joints and such are brazed with brass. The valve is most likely screwed in, thou. This is a great airgun forum: Air Gun Home :: Index I'm sure somebody there can help. Nice folks.

I wonder how long the engine in that rice mobile will last? I know the Mitsubishi Evo engine is only good for about 30k before it needs major engine work. Good friend of mine is a Mitsu nut. He's been buying Evos since the Evo V (he also works for a Mitsu dealer as a mechanic). I mean he drives...

Hey! Us forty somethings can still shoot. Check out Hickok45's youtube channel sometime. He's in his 60s and is deadly accurate. I especially like his video where he shoots a 1911 at 230 yards. The delay between shot and hit is cool. .45 moves so slow. lol! YouTube - hickok45's Channel He's a...

This is my dream car: YouTube - NRE Tv Rx-7 Sleeper prt 1 Dead serious. If I had the money I'd have Nelson Racing building me one right now. I wouldn't want mine built around a sports car body, though. Late 80s Volvo station wagon. I'd like extra attention paid to suspension and handling. The...

XDm is a really nice weapon. Again, I don't like the trigger too much, but everything else is top notch. I was really impressed with the balance on this weapon. What caliber did you choose? (just curious). I'm seriously considering getting one of these in .45 I have too damn many .40s I've...
