  1. Talk to the Hand!
  2. It sounds like you have an older model BAR. The Shortrac and Longtrac models are much lighter and quite reliable. If you want the ultimate in semi-auto deer rifles, then consider the FN-AR. It's based on the BAR action, but the simlarities end there. http://www.fnhusa.com/le/products/firearms/group.asp?gid=FNG022&cid=FNC01
  3. OK. I guess my Google link was a bit much for some to follow. Here's the direct quote from the first resulting link. "The parent company; Beretta Holding, also owns Beretta USA, Benelli, Franchi, SAKO, Stoeger, Tikka, Uberti, the Burris Optics company and a twenty per cent interest of the Browning arms company."
  4. Nope. Owned by me and you, and the rest of the taxpayers. Obama didn't go to them. They came to him.... on their knees.
  5. Cut into small strips, batter and fry. Or you can cook them in a manner similar to a store bought bird. Make a flavorful rub with herbs and spices of your choosing. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, etc. and cook in a brown-in-bag in the oven.
  6. Let me Google that for you.
  7. Then perhaps you should save up for a good GPS. I thumped a doe with #4 Black Clouds this year and she didn't go far at all.
  8. He's in SW Georgia. According to your state's publication, you have to use #2 or smaller shot. There is no stipulation on non-toxic shot, so you can use whatever suits you in that regard. Steel 4's killed a gobbler for me while one a duck hunt Thanksgiving 2008, no problem. He was gobbling on the ridge behind our blind and the ducks weren't doing much. I crawled up the ridge and setup behind a big log. I yelped by mouth and he came in strutting and gobbling. Yes, it was Thanksgiving. I nailed him at about 20 yards and he rolled down the ridge like a sack of potatoes. He stopped rolling about 12 feet from the blind, dead as a doornail. Steel isn't the best choice for turkeys, but it will do the job, as long as you know the limitations. I like copper-plated lead 5's.
  9. Yeah. I saw that now. You can get a double rebate on certain loads, but they're not the triple-threat loads.
  10. $20 off two boxes? That's more than I usually pay for two boxes.
  11. Call Benelli. They respond to e-mail the way Congress responds to crisis.
  12. We scored three fat geese this AM. It's in through the 13th in most of my county, but I don't have to go too far to hunt through the 27th. What end?
  13. Some just can't handle the end of the season.
  14. The tops are lopped with bungee strung through them to make them stretch out and back like fat gals' pants.
  15. I ordered the material online and took it to a local upholsterer. We discussed my ideas and he added some of his own, like brass grommets for drainage and snaps to keep them closed when not in use. I believe it is 600 denier cordura, but I can't remember for sure. If I do it again, I'll give them a bit more pocket room, but overall they work great. We can haul a lot of decoys and still have plenty of floor space for other gear, dog, etc.
  16. It comes out easily and goes back in easily. Have no fear. Just pull up with a twisting motion.
  17. BURP! No comment.
  18. Please understand that the "carbon fiber" stock is not really carbon fiber. It is synthetic that has been dipped in a carbon fiber looking film, similar to camo dipping.
  19. Chad, Here are the pics of the one I was telling you I shot last year.
  20. How about a pic of that black duck with the green mohawk? That thing was wicked cool!
  21. Our ducks finished up a bit slow, but we had a heck of a season. Here's the 15 lb. goose I took a few days ago. Not me in the pic, but how do you like that "ol skool" camo? He kept that darned coat so long that it came back in style.
  22. Unburnt powder needs an ignition source, ie primer, to get going. Older powder that has been subjected to moisture will be less likely to ignite, but it can still be set off with a spark, even a static one. If you're unsure, take the magazine to a gunsmith for further advice before proceeding. I, personally, would make sure that I'm well grounded and start digging away at it. And I'm not even going to ask how you got to this point.
