I am sure there are many new members here that do not know who I am, but perhaps some of the older members remember me.
At one time I was one of the more active members on this chat room, until I realized that I was suffering from addiction to social media. The symptoms were ignored for a long time, but they began to manifest in both my personal and professional (this was before I stopped working) life. My marriage was suffering as was the relationship with my children. Sometimes I felt as though they didn't like spending time with me. But now I know why. It was not me that they couldn't stand, it was The Addiction.
Thankfully I was able to find a help-group that not only identified the problem, but helped me work through it. For that I am eternally grateful.
I know that a lot of good can come from social media but it can also be dangerous to ones mental and physical health.
I cannot help but recognize that a lot of my old cyber-friends may be suffering from this same disease so I felt obligated to return and post this. But please understand that I am not judging. This is only a cautionary tale. Not judgement.
I have come a long ways and the journey continues, so I must post in limited numbers. I will also respond to the old PM's. But please be patient as my therapist advises caution when doing so.
Lord o Lord I have heard some whoppers in my time but that one is in the top 10. Sheeit, I figured you took a vacation from the fire because your boss caught you jacking off with your diddle phone 1 too many times and threatened "administrative punishment" at you.

I'm glad that you've recognized your problem and are seeking help. Knowing you have a problem is the first step.
Personally, I can take it or leave it. It's never been a problem for me.
Whether this is sincere or not I don't know but it is a good warning and reminder either way. I've cut facebook out almost completely, I don't Twitter or Instagram, it's pretty much the campfire or watching documentaries and other stuff but either way I know I spend too much time on screens and so do my kids.
I need to figure out how to change that. I don't think them on their kindles while I watch something on my phone while we sit on the couch together is quality time.

I thought you were taking a break whilst undergoing your sex change. It must have been hard living as a man all those years while in reality just being a very ugly chick.
I am certain that I speak for everyone when I say "welcome back" You were sorely missed and all are uplifted by your strength in confronting the devil that has possessed so many here.
I’m glad you got help, I have seen way too many people ignore this problem. Then they end getting are divorce, followed by a drop in work production or performance which leads to losing job or chartered from the service. The ones i seen that had it bad usually blamed others and never took responsibility for their actions. Most here will just brush this off as deflave being deflave but I know you are being sincere..

I don’t think one of the ways to overcome social media addiction is to start posting on a social media website. For those out their that think this isn’t social media then you are kidding yourselves..

God bless this brave soul.
It takes a real man to expose his vulnerability to other alpha males on here.
Lots more work the therapists need to do there Deacon, see they've still not cured you of your penchant for repititious posting. Perhaps you need to go lay on the couch for a bit longer.

It's a sad, sad day. You quit cold turkey, stayed clean for months. Then came back, took one hit, and now it's back to chasing the dragon...
You CAN break the cycle. Remember, it's for your children.
Glad you are back... maybe you can straighten this place the hell up..... the inmates have been running the asylum.... we need a voice of experience and reason around here... carry on brother Flave.

gunwizard,
I am reminded of my friend from group therapy. He would log onto the social medias and claim to be an electrician. Shortly thereafter, he would post an inquiry regarding what "the green wire does?"
Was it because he didn't know? Of course not. He was feeding his addiction.
Glad you are back... maybe you can straighten this place the hell up..... the inmates have been running the asylum.... we need a voice of experience and reason around here... carry on brother Flave.
Ima thinking we might need an intervention....
What the hell does that mean? get off the computer you damn addict.... before your wife and kids leave you.....

Don't forget Tom 264 , he will be very excited....
He's probably masturbating as we speak...........
Who can fault a man for enjoying a little midget porn?
Paul,
I know you say these things in jest. There is no addiction in you. I consider you a cyber-friend.
As an aside, I was watching a documentary on Ted Bundy today. Were he alive today I would think someone with his mindset might target bicyclists. Interest of law enforcement would be zero and they (typically) have no friends.
Anyway, best to you and the other people that have to live in the south.
I think ol’ Travis is just joshing with us. We are all still brothers.
ironbender,
You are a cyber-friend. There is no addiction here.
But enough about that.
I read today that Alaska's population is speculated to increase by as much as .00009% this year and that the influx could be a major boost to your local economy.

LOL! That’s like saying “some babies will be born in the lower 48”! Thanks for sharing early census info though.
Welcome back Travis, DeFlave, Clark and Dave. I missed you cuz this place was getting really boring with some of the DeFlave "Wannabeees". Your unique humor is a 24 treasure.
Is this 2020's April Fools early there Deacon? Or are you over pretending to have found religion? Now you're claiming to have undergone psychoanalysis, folks here saw thru your claim to being a recovering alcoholic. Do you think this current charade is more believable? If you've been "helped" how come the continuing serial posting? Guess it's because of your need to draw attention to yourself.

Your accusing me of being insincere is proof of your addiction.
I have found help. Now it is incumbent upon you to do same.

Pretty well known fact that you're this village's idiot, only the like minded afford you any credibility. The claim to be a recovering alcoholic example not withstanding. Now you're and addiction counselor?

gunwizard,
I am only trying to help those that need help. It is not judgement. It is a giving back to those that need.
Your inflammatory attitude is a HUGE indicator of addiction. I am trying to keep the peace yet you persist.
It is not YOU that wants to argue. It is The Addiction. You are feeding it.

jwall,
I see that you are from Arkansas. I have read that they have some of the best schools in the country.
1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I use to. 2) I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing. 3) I will get dressed before noon. 4) I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash the dog, get the kids off to school, all before even thinking of the Internet. 5) I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Internet-deprived. 6) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet. 7) I will read a book...if I still remember how. 8) I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear what is happening on the Web. 9) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email. 10) I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not. 11) I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on my computer. 12) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed some time....and the Internet will always be there tomorrow!
Before realizing that I suffered from The Addiction, I thought I was an alcoholic. I joined a club. The club explained that we would remain anonymous. This was a LIE.
After covering a number of steps they explained I had to apologize to everyone. So I did. Then they explained I had to not only apologize on the social medias, but to real people.
I asked them "How can I remain anonymous when I stand in front of people and tell them I used to drink the alcohol too much?!?!?!" They were adamant that it was part of the process. I even retrieved a dictionary and showed them the definition of anonymous. They would not listen.
With that, we parted ways. I respectfully suggested that they change the title of their club but they just kept asking me to please leave the building. They were not nice people.

This is a disingenuous posting.
Look at Step 4. You do not clean a house, or wash the dog on a daily basis. And there are many kids in the south and large portions of Texas that don't go to school.
I don't know where you found this information but it is not used by people that are suffering from The Addiction.

Pretty heavy stuff right here...
No. Not heavy at all. Just basic sense.
I even gave examples to my sponsor.. "If I have to apologize to my mother, how do I retain anonymity? It's my MOM!"
They had no answers. They only wanted us to contribute to the coffee fund. And they only served Folgers.
Pardon my language but that club was total bullschit.
I located the exchange between Rick and I. I have not heard back from Rick which is odd. I will assume he has no issue with it as all my texts in Messenger show "Read."
Here is the exchange that potentially saved my life. Thank you for being strong, Rick.

Hell,I'll kick in the $.01. No co-signer needed. PM me your address and I'll mail you a check. You don't mind if I post date it until the end of February do you?
flave you've been missed a couple of your followers have been acting out and showing disturbing behaviour including self harming tendencies during your absence. Now that you're back and forthcoming about the Addiction maybe there's hope for them, this is very timely. You are their leader maybe their only hope. In closing let me be the 11th or so to offer a hearty GFY
I’m glad you got help, I have seen way too many people ignore this problem.

Then they end getting are divorce, followed by a drop in work production or performance which leads to losing job or chartered from the service.

Is this 2020's April Fools early there Deacon? Or are you over pretending to have found religion? Now you're claiming to have undergone psychoanalysis, folks here saw thru your claim to being a recovering alcoholic. Do you think this current charade is more believable? If you've been "helped" how come the continuing serial posting? Guess it's because of your need to draw attention to yourself.
I do not approve of your calling his genuineness into question. Do you really feel like that's in the best interest of this community?
Here is the exchange that potentially saved my life. Thank you for being strong, Rick.

Paul,
This is nice of you. As stated previously, you have no addiction.
I would be happy to do so if you are buying.
Full disclosure: I do not own a bicycle. Or a vibrator.
My wife boosted my allowance, so I should have enough in there to treat you to a hot dog. Hell a sausage dog may even be a possibility. I hope they have sauteed onions.

Perhaps we can become cyber-friends and real-people friends.

You're showing your ass now, no one believes you're a real person!
Cleansed you say? That bottle marked Fleet was an enema, doesn't work if you drink it. That's why you're still as full of s hit as ever. The class clown who refuses to grow up.
I am sure there are many new members here that do not know who I am, but perhaps some of the older members remember me.
At one time I was one of the more active members on this chat room, until I realized that I was suffering from addiction to social media. The symptoms were ignored for a long time, but they began to manifest in both my personal and professional (this was before I stopped working) life. My marriage was suffering as was the relationship with my children. Sometimes I felt as though they didn't like spending time with me. But now I know why. It was not me that they couldn't stand, it was The Addiction.
Thankfully I was able to find a help-group that not only identified the problem, but helped me work through it. For that I am eternally grateful.
I know that a lot of good can come from social media but it can also be dangerous to ones mental and physical health.
I cannot help but recognize that a lot of my old cyber-friends may be suffering from this same disease so I felt obligated to return and post this. But please understand that I am not judging. This is only a cautionary tale. Not judgement.
I have come a long ways and the journey continues, so I must post in limited numbers. I will also respond to the old PM's. But please be patient as my therapist advises caution when doing so.
My hope is that I can find a happy medium.
God bless, Travis

Can somebody please take this idiot to a strip club?
Before realizing that I suffered from The Addiction, I thought I was an alcoholic. I joined a club. The club explained that we would remain anonymous. This was a LIE.
After covering a number of steps they explained I had to apologize to everyone. So I did. Then they explained I had to not only apologize on the social medias, but to real people.
I asked them "How can I remain anonymous when I stand in front of people and tell them I used to drink the alcohol too much?!?!?!" They were adamant that it was part of the process. I even retrieved a dictionary and showed them the definition of anonymous. They would not listen.
With that, we parted ways. I respectfully suggested that they change the title of their club but they just kept asking me to please leave the building. They were not nice people.
Pretty heavy stuff right here...
No. Not heavy at all. Just basic sense.
I even gave examples to my sponsor.. "If I have to apologize to my mother, how do I retain anonymity? It's my MOM!"
They had no answers. They only wanted us to contribute to the coffee fund. And they only served Folgers.
Pardon my language but that club was total bullschit.
Well Kaywoodie thinks it’s funny you have an addiction and you are trying to overcome it. I noticed a trend here, people on this site don’t like it when people try to better themselves like you are..
I edited post to fix a misspelled word for a spelling Nazi..

Naaah, you only just now caught up on the ‘lectric bill is all.
Birdwatcher,
Best to you.
I was reminded of your posts as I sat across from a man that explained how he fed The Addiction. He would make outlandish claims regarding his current financial status.
At one point he claimed that he could not afford shoelaces, or magnets for the front of his refrigerator.
A low point for sure.
Regardless, I hope you are well and I hope that you can avoid The Addiction.
Are you and your group going to the movie? Or just you?
79,
You and I are close cyber-friends.
But what I don't understand is nobody in my Addiction group wants anything to do with me. I try and explain that substance abuse is separate from The Addiction. But most do not want to accept that.
I have convinced a few of them to go out and have fun, but I never see them afterward.

When you become a spelling nazi, I’m sure you are beyond the addiction. But only Deflave can say if you are addicted or not he’s been in group therapy..

So far they have kept their heads down.... the Orgonians on the other hand.........
Brother Fubar, Flaves laying traps again for the Beaver State. Weed, cock, and more cock always seem to work the best for snagging... Glad I moved before I could get caught. 😎

A strip club would be the perfect place for a pervert prevaricator like yourself. You'd feel right at home with all the other attention w hores, you could even get a lap dance to take a break from all the self stimulation.

I'm just glad the deacon who got me to convert to Christianity is still alive and well.
Brother Remsen, Flave will convert you over to something , not sure Christianity is on that list......:)
Brother Irfubar, I moved to Montana as a form of Flave Eucharist, only to find he had already Ascended. So a few months back, I tried to follow the 14 Stations of Flave but ended up in Alabama. All I know is one day, I will be saved.

Rem, you’re lucky you didn’t follow the same route Brother Fubar and I did while on our search and rescue mission to save Brother Flave...We both ended up at Digital Dans heavily fortified domicile, where unspeakable acts of aggression and sexual perversion were administered to us...We called it our Act of Penace. It would have made Opus Dei followers cry. 😎
Travis taught us not to judge...He said you are a good Jewish man...Amen
Brother Beav...... that was a truly terrifying place.. I still wake in the middle of the night with night sweats and tremors.. I think I have PTSD.....
Brother Remsen should be thankful he ended up in Alabamy.... nice people like dirtfarmer & Ctsmith there.....

Since Florida is south of Montana I believe he descended into hell.....on the third day (week, month or maybe even year) is when he’ll ascend and be seated at the right hand of his father (in between his 2 cousins Barry and Hilary). 😉
Remsen, As an aside to the chicanery I want to wish you and your family a healthy and happy New Year! Your thick skinned perspective is appreciated and your addition (not addiction) is an asset to the ‘fire. 👍
Wow, he moves to Florida from Montana, posts a few pictures of himself walking beachside in his aloha shirt, speedos, and long black socks, and the jealously wont quit.

"Know more than most when it comes to firearms" funny you should say that, never seen anything you've posted that would attest to that fact nor your marksmanship abilities. Two more claimed attributes that are nothing but figments of your imagination.

Gunsblizzard you have proven yourself to be one stupid SOB........
Here I will provide proof for you, I witnessed this shot from across the canyon behind Flave. With a junky old WW1 rifle with crappy sights ..... shot through the heart... no schit

Well he's too god-damn dumb to read, so I figure I ought to give some medical advice just in case he's going blurry eyed and slouch faced in front of his Hewlett Packard.
I think maybe it's time to take a step back and take a breath. Remember why you left in the first place. A little backsliding to be expected, lets not lose total control.
Any fool can see that the pic shows a Krag rather than a Springfield, but go ahead and carry on about dumb and can't see. Firearms expert, just another figment of your imagination. Counseling hasn't helped you a bit I'm afraid Deacon.

Can somebody please help gunwizard out?
I'm starting to feel bad for him.
Ok.
fubar said he shot a deer with a WWI rifle and posted the pic. Deflave corrected him and said we used the '03 in WWI.
He didn't spell it out in crayon that the gun in the pic was in fact not an '03 but rather a Krag, because he thought this was still a gun oriented site.
Gunsgizzard was too fast on the trigger to fire an insult, and instead blew his wad on his own face instead of the hooker's.

I looked it up the other day and whatever source it was said they only used the Krag for training purposes in WWI. Maybe that qualifies it as a "WWI rifle"? Dunno.
I guess any points that dude gets for having a wang long enough to get it on his own face get negated by him having it in that proximity in the first place. At least there was a hooker involved although point-of-order, BGG didn't specify what sex the hooker was. No offense to anybody since I'm not posting negatively ever since New Year's.

Hey Gruff did you get that skid steer you were talkin about? I got a sidexside with a plow and man that thing is great compared to my snowblower...
I wish. Wife got treated to a new pickup. Twixt that and new horses/colts/fillies I'm tapped out.
Instead I have a welded up 40 year old truck plow on a 60 year old tractor that when combined with a belly full of Wild Turkey and White Claw has been good enough!
I'd consider letting some Texans suck my cock for the coin for a skid steer, but I ain't quite there yet.

Or at least the secret to getting your wife plowed. Win, win.

But draw the line with Claws.
Ain't happening. (only as a last resort...)
But apparently chicks love 'em.
Find empty cans all over the lawn.
I knew I was openin the door with the White Claw confession.
BillyGoatGruff; Good evening to you sir, I hope this finds you and yours well, warm and dry tonight.
I plowed today too - we're supposed to get colder here than we've been in years by tomorrow night - oh joy.....
With the admission that I am somewhat of a "data miner" as my good wife calls me, I had to look up the history of White Claw.
It turns out it's another brainchild of Anthony Von Mandl - who made a fortune developing Mike's Hard Lemonade which used to be made just down the road from where I'm typing. As well he owns something like 5 wineries here - one of which is Mission Hill.
I want to say he didn't built Mission Hill originally Gruff - but it's really and truly something to see just for the architecture and building skills involved.
Anyway, I just wanted to take an already random thread briefly across the medicine line and will now let all the good folks go back to regular programming.

With the admission that I am somewhat of a "data miner" as my good wife calls me, I had to look up the history of White Claw.
It turns out it's another brainchild of Anthony Von Mandl - who made a fortune developing Mike's Hard Lemonade which used to be made just down the road from where I'm typing. As well he owns something like 5 wineries here - one of which is Mission Hill.
I want to say he didn't built Mission Hill originally Gruff - but it's really and truly something to see just for the architecture and building skills involved.
Anyway, I just wanted to take an already random thread briefly across the medicine line and will now let all the good folks go back to regular programming.
All the best to you all in 2020 sir.
Dwayne
Good evening Dwayne,
I too hope you and yours are warm and dry tonight. So far we've had a pretty mild winter both in snow and temperature. Can't bitch when it finally decides to come around.
Never knew the who's and what's behind the happy juice, but it is interesting. I was drinking Mike's Harder Lemonade's by the gallon, but was getting very trippy and weird experiences. I attributed these to the sugar with the alcohol, so I figured I'd try the seltzers. Come to find out they're pretty good.
and Northern Dave, and Schrap are MIA also... just like they were when they were building up the first April Fool's Prank.. which I fell for by the way.. big time...
And Sharpnel, and hole bunch of other really good outsdoorsmen.
I'd like to apologize to you and all the others for my behavior on here. I'm just a lonesome 'ol cowpoke who don't smoke dope and has to get drunk and start internet fights with folks for my jollies. Anybody got a Lucky and some Absinthe?
I had to google what Absinthe is. I was fully expecting to see a handwritten note from Mike Tyson about why one of his kids missed school....
I was going to start a new thread for this, but it seems more appropriate to just drop it here...so to speak.
Y'all know how it is when you've been needing to let a Steelhead exscape for like, at least half a day. You don't want to go in the bathroom because both, you might miss something here and you feel like you'll have to strain so much you'll blow out a new roid or something...maybe even pull an Elvis. Finally, I was able to hit the head and flush Steelie down the commode. It was almost sad seeing him circling the drain, but in the end, it was all for the best. I waved bye to the erstwhile "Girlhunter" and then came back to the computer.

He goes by Scottbrad now. I think it's the Steelhead Brokeback Mtn version 2.0.

WayneShaw, way to go there dude you've got this joker's number for sure. Too bad he's such a narcissist heavily into denial of what he truly is, pathetic fits this azzclown to a T !
Anybody got a link to the post that caused Gunwizzard to hate this poor man so much? I haven't seen this much misguided hate since Herrod and Jesus. Flave would be Jesus in this analogy, of course.

Things were better when he wasn't here. He's an a$$hole and a drunk. He thinks he's funny with his remarks, but he's pathetic.
That’s funny...Dave and Clarke can drink a case of beer and punish a 5th of whiskey in a few hours without any sign of being drunk other than wanting to repaint the neighbors cat. 😎

Did you own up to you're earlier mis-step in re the rifle post and I missed it? Or are we just going to pretend it didn't happen?

Never question the actions of a retard.
Just keep throwing tic-tacs at their forehead.
Might as well make it interesting:
These work best if you stick it to the tards forehead and throw baseballs at the net....🙄😎
Better go back and look at the pic again, it's dumbchit who's holding the '98 Krag and talking about an '03. You know the all knowing, expert's expert master baiter 'Flave, not me.

Gunsblizzard you have proven yourself to be one stupid SOB........
Here I will provide proof for you, I witnessed this shot from across the canyon behind Flave. With a junky old WW1 rifle with crappy sights ..... shot through the heart... no schit
We used the 1903 in WWI.
But yes, that was some fine shooting on my part.
180yds if I recall correctly.
Gunwizard, read this really slow. 'Flave corrected irfubar on the fact the gun shown in the pic is indeed not a WWI rifle.

It’s not like he’s claiming to have shot 100,000 rounds through that Krag w/o a zero shift.
Actually I believe there were a couple of US Army units did have Krags in France. Like support units. But I don’t believe they saw action. I also know there were still some NG units using Trapdoors stateside in 1917. Firearms shortages in time of conflict.
Nice..enfields do shoot well. I grabbed up a bunch of surplus 303 probably 15 years ago.. 48 or 50 rounds to a box. Wrapped in plastic. Forget the date of mfg but 15 years ago it all shot great. A year or so ago I was getting lots of hangfires and split necks. Guess it’s time is about up

It goes back much farther and deeper than that. Good of you to try to make it about a YouTube video though, Hilary.

Are you being intentionally dense?
Reread this. Not directed at jackmountain. Meant to answer pistolpissers question immediately above.
I am sure there are many new members here that do not know who I am, but perhaps some of the older members remember me.
At one time I was one of the more active members on this chat room, until I realized that I was suffering from addiction to social media. The symptoms were ignored for a long time, but they began to manifest in both my personal and professional (this was before I stopped working) life. My marriage was suffering as was the relationship with my children. Sometimes I felt as though they didn't like spending time with me. But now I know why. It was not me that they couldn't stand, it was The Addiction.
Thankfully I was able to find a help-group that not only identified the problem, but helped me work through it. For that I am eternally grateful.
I know that a lot of good can come from social media but it can also be dangerous to ones mental and physical health.
I cannot help but recognize that a lot of my old cyber-friends may be suffering from this same disease so I felt obligated to return and post this. But please understand that I am not judging. This is only a cautionary tale. Not judgement.
I have come a long ways and the journey continues, so I must post in limited numbers. I will also respond to the old PM's. But please be patient as my therapist advises caution when doing so.

A surprisingly good rifle.
But still sub-part to our own.
I always liked the quote: "Germany took the best hunting rifle in the world to war. the Brits took the best battle rifle in the world to war, and America took the best target rifle in the world to war."
I have to agree about the 303. I had a jungle carbine. I could stuff 13 into what was supposed to be a ten round mag, while the competition held five. And the Lee Enfield had a detachable mag. While the manual of arms did not recommend such, to my knowledge, a soldier could carry a couple spare mags and swap them out in a firefight.
Though stripper clips might have actually made for a faster reload.

The JC really is cool.
For whatever reason I never cared for a lot of that stuff until now.

The only pic I have handy this one was a buddy's I sold it for him a while back. Not a Lee Enfield but a licenced Ishapore contract rifle
I've still got one that I'd had for years complete rifle bayonet and all. They actually make a decent camp rifle or truck gun try as you might you can't fug these things up unless maybe you run over them with the truck. Not the most accurate but they'll go bang every time and hit a moose's heart at 100 yds so not useless for sure.
What’s up with people drinking this claw grapefruit stuff? Good ol beer no longer acceptable??????
It will make its way up to Alaska.
Eventually.
Don’t tell me you are drinking it too? First asking for advice from a Californian/Texan to drinking Zima in can. What next ? Are you doing Zumba and CrossFit?

Do White Claw drinkers shoot Creedmoors? asking for a friend
They wear flat billed monster energy hats, wear skinny jeans and are keenly interested with what’s going on with the royal family. Oh and wear white rimmed Oakley sunglasses

That is all false. Claw drinkers have big cocks, drive non jap pickups, and shoot whatever the fugg rifle is handy at the time. Likely not a creedmore.
Hey check out these Randalls. I was able to pick my order up in person because I'm not a broke dick non-Floridian, loser. LOL.
So what you are saying you were a broke dick Montanan that couldn’t afford a Rambo knife? But once you moved to Florida you became a big money hustla and were able to afford a Rambo knife??

Time to attack an entire small town somewhere in Oregon, or rescue some Vietnam era POW's. That knife is badass.

That is a great looking rifle. I remember breaking 6 inch diameter watermelons at well over 200 yds with 150 gr handloads using the JC (about 1985). Plenty good enough for minute of deer or combat.
With the placement of the ladder sight on the rear receiver bridge I actually find the JC easier to shoot accurately than the 03 Springfield.
Quickly realized that was hell on earth so he joined the Army (barf).
Ships out the 28th I think.
Pretty sure even Dave would not joke about this.
Tell him we are grateful for his (and yours and his mother's, and how ever many broken hearted girls he is leaving behind) sacrifice and most importantly STAY SAFE.

Yep. Stay safe young man and if necessary, give 'em hell!
flave I don't have pics of the bayonet and I can't find the damned thing right now. It should turn up pretty sure I've seen it since we moved here at least so its here somewhere I'll get some when I can. I did find the rifle but who in their right mind would keep the bayonet on the gun that's just stupid..

Thanks Idaho' I agree they look the part. I grew up with these Lee Enfields and the "Longbranch" full rifle version tons of surplus rifles were unloaded up here probably in the 50s mostly and in to the 60s. A 303 of some sort was the first center fire a lot of us Canuck boys first learned to shoot with I also find the sight picture instant and user friendly.
Yeah it would have been England, the mother of the commonwealth schit holes that designed and built Lee Enfields. At first. They were made all over the place when wars started to get big. I know some were made in Canada, India (used to be commonwealth), Australia for sure I think New Zealand prolly others.
I was rifle less for a couple years after marriage and had babies needing food and shoes.
A friend at work offered to sell me a $60 Lee Enfield, definitely not a carbine. I want to say 29 inch barrel, but it was burgled in 86. Anyway, no ladder sight. just a two position roll over peep. A large aperture battle sight, or flip it 90 degrees for a precise smaller aperture.
With my hand loads, it shot about four feet high at 200 yds. I killed one small buck with it, aiming at the knee, and splitting the top of the skull as he looked over his shoulder.
It was impractical to weld enough material to the front sight to correct the trajectory. So I TIG welded the aperture closed and drilled a new hole closer to the base.
After filing a bit on the front post for a final correction, it shot very well.

Dad's has a big "S" on the side of it, made by Savage Arms.
Also marked "US Govt Property".
Hit the 16" diamond shaped gong at 400 yards regularly with it after someone told me where the first shot hit using Rem 150's.

Geno
Indeed some were made in the states too not sure exactly how that fits in. Ingersol (tractor makers) International and other non gun related outfits made them during the war effort. Good for you to figure out the history of your sporter there you almost need to know a secret handshake to understand all the crude stampings and hieroglyphics to understand the exact history. I can't even remember where mine was made off hand..

Hahaha. Nice. I met a guy (ex Canadian forces) who was our gun club prez plus a gun nut extrordinaire. I, actually my dad had lost the magazine for my rifle years back. I took it to Larry and he opened a door of magazines tried a couple says yours needs a number 2 I've got lots here ya go. How does it shoot he asked? seems on at 50 anyways I says. OK your GTG. There's different height front sights too. He shows me 3 or 4 boxes if different numbered sights. Sounds like yours was a little mismatched.

Possibly, I suppose. I always just assumed it was the difference between a martial load with a 180 RN at 2200 fps vs a 150 spitzer at 2800 fps.
And here we done hijacked the thread. It was supposed to be about The Addiction and De Flave, not particularly in that order.
Perhaps unrepentant hijacking of a thread is a symptom of ................"The Addiction".
I think the ADDICTION is even more epic down here.
More sunlight in the winter or something I believe.

Fix your settings Geno.
My setting's just fine.
It's quite a comfortable office chair. In a nice warm house, with a nice fire going in the woodstove, on my 7 Acre RANCH!

PS, I do sometimes wish I could lift the whole mess on a sky crane or something, land and all, and plop it down in a free State somewhere away from Kommiefornia, but other than that I like my setting.
