Its not the words that make the adult, it is the respect that makes people want to listen to the words.

For example, look how intently everyone is listening to this guy talk? Any idea who is? Sure seems like an adult?

Nah, that dude looks like a clown.
Definitely a child. Look at the trigger finger discipline!!

Gosh darn it. Guess we are just going to have to draw straws. I'll take care of that here and let you know the results.

Morning all. Haven’t had the time to thank Rick and Barb for their hospitality and letting me stay in their home. Was great to see everyone again. Was able to run the Canik TTI and was hitting steel at 80 yards with little effort. I did make a Pantless Highway delivery on the 3 hour drive back north and was able to make grandsons T-ball game before getting home. Spent the day yesterday at the house rehab then a grandson’s basketball game last night.

Morning folks! ️

I managed to get out to the track for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon. Practice days sure aren't what the used to be at the speedway

You're finding your 'eye' !

I think you could find that the receiving FFL might, as a matter of their store policy, have issue with a gun shipped to Dad Smith being picked up Son Smith. The 4473 deals with this as an issue of repairs not new ownership.

I’m not positive of the exact legalities involved here and I am a fan of the path of the least resistance so - gift/cash card.

I hope to be at my FFL today. I’ll ask him.

I definitely think this could come into play here.

Don’t think I posted it here but this was last range trip from 8-9 yds with the Mac 9 ds and Amazon special 50 buck red dot. The group in the 2 was first group of day and the one by thumb was last group. I think I shot about 100 rds total through it thst trip

Thanks MM. It does feel like I'm figuring out what groove I like.

 

[DadSmith]

If you are buying it online and having shipped directly to you son’s ffl i would think you could call tell the shipping dealer your plan. the 4473 will be filled out by your son and he will be the “purchaser” even if you paid for it. The other way is get your son a gift certificate to buy the gun himself.

He's going to contact his FFL out there and ask.
I could buy or build him an upper and sent it to him. Then gift him money towards a lower.

You sir, are a busy man. Thank you again for supplying bourbon and the use of your phone to diagnose my hearing aids. Spoke to Verizon yesterday and they seemed VERY interested to solve my problem since I've been dealing with it for the better part of 3 months and I mentioned Patriot Mobile. "Normally this kind of issue requires a couple weeks to get the right people on it but we'll call you Tuesday. "

And thank you for repatriating he muffins and ham. I don't think we'll be needing any more leftovers for a while.

Today, I cleaned guns,and put-away stuff that had dried out in the living room.
This photo made me think good thoughts about everyone.
(Thanks for being our photographer, 88' ..... great captures) @88E30M50

My thanks to RP for doing the high-speed capture of my .500 Smith.
I've never seen the compensator signature before ! @Reece'sPieces

The Bandit already noted the somber, fatherly look from DM as he was instructing us in CZ safety, and manipulation. We were awestruck ! @ditcherman

I sure hope that I don't have to use purple, DM.
R said that he found a new friend ..... that's the highest praise ! @patience0830
Welcome to the nuthouse.
And welcome to RP also.

I took one pitiful photo .... with my cell phone on the drive in.
These turkeys led me on a slow roll to the cabin. I loved every minute during, and from then on !

Good morning INGO.

Morning CZers….
First pool party of the season with my Iraqi brother in arms. Lots of bourbon flowed last night. Their 8# alarm clock woke me up, a Boston terrier that is always bouncing off the walls. Yes, I’m a responsible bourbon drinker, they keep the spare bedroom ready for us.
Now…. Wondering if his wife will convince me for a morning swim, the pool is 87, BUT the outside temp is not!!!!
We’ll see if the bacon and coffee change my mind…..

Good morning

We’ve got our Area track meet today. Think of it like Conference for Special Olympics. And my oldest WANTS to go with me and volunteer. I’ve been very impressed with his wanting to help and his character around the athletes for a 12 year old. He’s growing into an amazing young man.

They hold a special place for me. I taught special ed for a decade before transitioning into higher education. I still provide respite care for a young man twice a week that is heavily involved in Special Olympics. He is in a sport every season. He skipped track this year but is bowling. I’ve spent plenty weekends at basketball and softball events with them.

Picked up a surplus 1993 hi power to go with the surplus 1992 CZ.

Morning everyone, I got back from McCoy last night around 9pm, thirty day mission complete. We started the event with 157 competitors and after a week of testing we had 31 earn either an Expert Infantry Badge, Soldier Badge, or Field Medical Badge. They first had to pass the PT test, then day/night land navigation and then complete a series of 30 tasks throughout the week with no more than 1 mistake per with a successful re-test within the 3 days of lanes testing.

One of the tasks I graded was the grenade ID and grenade throw station. This is one of the more subjective tasks as sometimes a bit of luck comes into play with either either a good or bad bounce or roll contributing to the outcome. Throwers need to have a dummy fuzed M67 explode within the 15m circle from 35m away. It can actually be a bit difficult as grenades weigh about 14oz compares to a comparable size baseball at 5oz. If they get a good throw there then they move to a bunker and chuck one in but nobody failed that part.

Of the 31 successful candidates, those that went the entire three days with no mistakes got to be brought in to the ceremony in a Blackhawk which was pretty neat.

I picked up this nice S&W 681 shortly before going on the Army trip, it had some older non-original grips i'm replacing with some VZ's, nice condition for being less than 600/shipped. This will be a mild custom project.
