Can you eat the turtles ? It seems to me that the buck would ruin an otherwise good lunch.

I used to make turtle soup when I was a kid. One of my first “on my own” types of hunt and harvest.

Now I’m into ducks so I’m on your turtle’s side :)

My PPC first flew P-5s. Lots of cool stories.

Anyone who uses clip for magazine at our gun range has their stripes ripped from their dress blues, then their sword broken in half, then marched out the gate while the band plays “Branded”.

Lunacy, sheer lunacy.

Better leave all your Marlins, Winchesters, Remingtons, Mossbergs, etc. in the car trunk, then - especially if they're of '60s-'70s vintage. It is well known that most of the sporting firearms manufacturers during that period used the word "clip" in their advertising copy, mostly to distinguish integral/tubular magazine models from the detachable/box magazine variants.

The fixation on "correct usage" of the words "clip" and "magazine" began with the expansion of interest in milsurp rifles and really gathered steam after Al Gore invented the internet.

Personally, I don't see enough of a controversy to get all wrapped around the axle.

I seldom heard the term "magazine" referring to a container of cartridges until the last 20 years or so.

The purists are very tolerant. A magazine on a ship is a room.

The M1 rifle did indeed use a clip but I am pretty sure they referred to M1 Carbine magazines as clips also when I fired my first one in 1955.

Now, I have to learn how to post my ribbons and wings on FR.

Just go over to google pictures and find some.

Just happened to see your last post.

Digging out my “way back” machine...

My first squadron (VU-1) NASBP, F6F Hellcats, JD-1’s, F9F’s, F2H2P’s (Banshees), a couple of helicopters and 2 SNB’s.

From that point in time ... F8U’s, P5M’s, P2V’s, EC-130Q’s, P3C’s.

Probably a few more but a 79 year old mind tends to forget along the way.

Fair winds and following seas, my friend.

.30-06, Gods own caliber! If you're of a certain age, and don't own an ought-six, you're an un-American pinko.

I bought a bunch of those clips awhile ago. I’m going to have to look at youtube to figure it out again! I also have clips for my Mosin-Nagant.

I got a muzzle for my dog - but never use it. He NEVER watched where he was pointing it.
