We never talk politics, ever but he's no crazy paranoid loser. You oughta see his little duck hunting boat from the 1800's/early 1900's. It's built in the finest tradition of American woodworking, an almost lost art. He like's cars, too. Truly museum quality stuff and then some. Unbelievable to see and hold in my hands! I would love to go to a range with him. Ya like Henry rifles? LeMatts?

My Dad was a Winchester guy,So while I know of those rifles I've never held nor shot one.The Model 1886 I was talking about has a serial # 5xxx,when looked up on the Winchester registry it was manufactured in 1887.It's cool that a firearm that is 125 years old is still up to the task for which it was made.

Someone without military knowledge may very well not know seriously wounding the enemy is preferable to killing them on the battlefield.

Aren't the 50 cals the ones that make 'red mist' ?

It is impossible to concentrate on the nuts...there are too many of them.
This kid in Connecticut did not wear a sign on his head saying nut...
