TurboDog had commented on the flat top on the previous page and I was responding.

I told her if there was any justice in the World, I would be standing in front of a flat top for a living. As it turns out, the World is not fair and I actually amounted to something. Young kids should take notice...expecting the World to be "fair" is not going to pay any of your bills.

Well, there is that. I could see a 22-250 with a scope out West for coyotes and the like. Gangsters probably would leave that anyway. Friend of mine got his house broken into in broad daylight. Guns all in the vault except a Winchester 1300 riot gun by the bed. (no kids) Anyway, the thieves...

My wife got me a flat top for my birthday. So I am in charge of the bacon. Hey, every meal is better with bacon!

I have to admit, the whole idea of a "truck gun" escapes me. If trouble starts when you are in your vehicle, you are driving your weapon. Shooting from a moving vehicle while driving is a silly concept. We tried it on the farm with a Jeep CJ 5 with the windshield folded down and it is a...

Never had time for a family of my own, there is that work distortion thing again. Actually, yesterday was my 13th Wedding Anniversary so I got a late start even with a wife. Trying to make up for it now. Retired nine years ago. Have not missed working a bit. Now if I could just get my wife to...

I try. Missed out on a lot of nieces and nephews growing up. Now they have kids! And I am busy being the fun Uncle. You know, the guy that brings drum sets and BB guns and cool stuff like that for Christmas!

My father was half Norseman and half drunk....

For years, well, decades actually I always worked the Holiday Shift because my folks live in the same town and by me working it meant other supervisors and managers could see their families. So since I retired we host Thanksgiving at our house. Takes the pressure off my mom and I finally have...

Just got home. Met my old friend and gunsmith Reid Coffield for lunch. He is moving back to town, that is great news! Projects to follow!

You HAVE to start with a frame that has never been a rifle. If you have an assembled rifle, it is always a rifle in the eyes of the ATF. You turn it into a handgun and that is illegal. A friend of mine takes pictures of every AR-15 he builds as a pistol FIRST. It is not illegal to turn a pistol...

Trump could solve gun crime by leaning into legislation that makes using a gun in a crime a federal crime that can't be plea bargained out. Mandatory five years working as farm help on gigantic farms on public lands. The crops grown go to feed the prisoners and excess to SNAP benefit holders. No...

I love the 7.62 x 39 cartridge but generally unimpressed with the firearms that fired it, namely haphazardly assembled AK's. The SKS carbines were surprisingly accurate, and my father had one that rode with him in his Jeep CJ on the farm that accounted for a boxcar load of deer over the years. I...

They always say that two equals one. Between the two guns, even if everything goes to the Handbasket, you will be able to keep one of them up and running! Think of it as End Of The World As We Know It insurance! And you would be crazy not to have insurance, right? (yeah, I justify basically...

Well done! A positive outlook and prayers work...you are living proof!

I can't compete with Killer Ford, but I do cook. Thick cut bone in pork chop

It was a good time to be Eric. Wait, who am I kidding? It has ALWAYS been a good time to be Eric!

73 with the L-82 small block and a four speed. Interestingly, the high revving L-82 was actually more expensive than the big block. Last year for the chrome bumpers out back and the new sleek nose. The car I wanted in High School but could not afford! I also had a 62 when I was younger and I...

Since the Cobra does not have windows or a roof or a heater or a radio I got the Corvette for a touring car and overnight trips. Leather seats AND a radio? We are talking luxury cars here!

Speaking of Combat Commanders, here is my example that has been worked over by Bob Chow. He was a Olympic Shooter and a Bullseye gunsmith, but did a few carry guns back in the day. I carry it sometimes when I am feeling nostalgic, which I admit happens more and more the older I get.
