Thanks for the info.
We didn't have .50's, and I didn't have any corporals in my platoon who was called "Christ".

[RikaStrom]

I keep telling you COB. If I break my shoulder, you better have a direct line to the nearest hospital! I'm a really rotten patient. LOL

[Joe Brower]

TC,

patton nailed it in post #79.

"Since Christ was a corporal", eh? Har-har! I'll have to remember that one! $:-)

[AAABEST]

Good post Joe.

[Joe Brower]

The kick of the 50 BMG is not bad at all -- you will be surprised. Between the slow-burning powder used, and the weight of the weapon, it's more like a "shove" than a "kick".

I predict: You'll like it. $:-)

[Joe Brower]

Home-boy!

Hey, I just got myself a Romanian SAR-1, a dozen mags, and 1K rounds of ammo.

When do you wanna go shootin'?

[CPOSharky]

Nice set of weapons Cowboy.

But didn't Quigly use a 45-110?

[Dan from Michigan]

Damn! I wish I could be down there with my Mossberg 835 and my 1911.

[Travis McGee]

I like to save old coffee cans. They're steel, so they can take it, and they are "just that perfect size". And of course you can see if you hit it way down range.

"Since Christ was a corporal", eh?"

LOL!
Yep! That goes in my Gyrene handbook of favorite sayings.
Unlike the others, you could say that anywhere!

When the satellite guy was trying to explain how they were fixing the "cluster" today, I asked him if he knew what Marines always said about "clusters".
He didn't have a clue.

[TexasCowboy]

"it's more like a "shove" than a "kick"."

Perfect description!

[TexasCowboy]

"But didn't Quigly use a 45-110?"

I really don't know, but the guy at Outdoor World described it as exactly like the one used in the movie.
The picture doesn't do it justice.
The scroll work on the receiver is awesome!

It's perfectly balanced so that you can shoot it offhand almost as easily as from a rest.
I was surprised that it's made in Italy.

I like the double triggers. After setting the forward one it just takes a touch.

Number of innocent people killed by a drunken Ted Kennedy: 1.
Number of innocent people killed by a .50 Cal during the commission of a crime: 0.

"I wish I could be down there with my Mossberg 835 and my 1911."

I wish you could, too!
I've never shot either one of those!

[45Auto]

That looks a lot like my Remington 700 LTR in .308, except for the longer barrel.

"...what part of the Right to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT be infringed is so incomprehensible in Basic English??

Its not that the SOB's DON'T understand that - its that they DON'T CARE. The idea is to simply IGNORE the Constitution when writing lesgislation - to hell with Constitutional rights. And they have been creeping up on the Bill of Rights for years if not decades; tehy also know they have gotten the court system "packed" with left-wing judges that will simply rubber stamp all these rotten laws, that's why they desparately are working to keep Pres. Bush's judicial nominations from being confirmed.

"If I break my shoulder, you better have a direct line to the nearest hospital!"

Rika, I fired 30 rounds through it day before yesterday.
It "shoves" hard, but you will love the power of that thing.

(I'm having some problems typing with one hand.......)

The 835 is a 12 gauge shotgun that wild turkeys and politicians don't like much. It shoots 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 inch shells.

It's also a good self-defense gun (if I have room). Since I took out 1/2 of the trunk of a small tree once with it, I don't think too much gets up from it. It is a bit of a shoulderbreaker at first, but I'm used to it.

The 1911 is a nice pistol. I have a Rock Island which is more inexpensive than your Colt or Springfield, but it's accurate and does the job well.

[Eaker]

AHHHHHHmmmmmmm.............

I get to shoot #13 & 14.

Tradition, you know.
