  1. Is no one else hunting??? Come one guys. Let's see some photos!
  2. If you want to make it 3+1+1, click here
  3. The modification allows you to load one more round in the gun, above its normal capacity. Many states have no capacity restrictions on shotguns outside of waterfowl hunting. Some allow unplugged guns for Snow Geese in the Spring as well. NC early goose season requires no plug. With this modification and technique, you can get one more round in there.
  4. crum, I have heard of that method, but I have not seen it done. Id the 45 cut in the same direction as the other one or in the opposite direction? bnburns05, The older Benellis will float the fourth without this modification. This will make the newer ones like the SBEII be able to do it as well.
  5. A buddy wanted his Benelli altered so that it would float a round on the carrier. I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the procedure and I put together this how to guide. Some use JB Weld. In fact, he had used JB Weld, but it didn't hold and he asked me to do it over for him. I've done several this way and there have been no problems. Mine is actually filled by a tig welder, but not all of us have access to such a thing.
  6. I'm sure there's a Benelli M4 in there somewhere. Another great read. "Pedros" http://www.michaelyon-online.com/pedros.htm Some readers have gotten upset that I call them “Pedro,” thinking the name is secret. The concern is welcome but not warranted in this case. The Pedros don’t care and they even have a Pedro patch. The Pararescue medics are often called “PJs.” The SEALs, Delta, Rangers and Green Berets all hold the PJs in high regard. Firstly, the PJs are among the best medics in the U.S. military (we have incredible medics—so that’s a significant statement). Secondly, PJs go through just about any combat training available, ranging from HALO to mountaineering to scuba.
  7. It appears to be very similar to the M2000 I had apart yesterday. It only takes four hands to get it back together
  8. I have had zero problems with 1-1/8 ounce loads, and I have shot a fair number of 1 oz. loads with no trouble whatsoever. I have experienced some hangups with Winchester Drylocks, but they are just crappy shells to begin with. Federals and Kents work just fine.
  9. There are a number of variables to be considered. For ringnecks in open water or puddlers in swamps and timber I like 3" 4's with a modified or less choke. For later season mallards and bigger ducks in either, 3" 2's may be better. For geese, I like 3.5" BB's.
  10. I have seen a couple of good Stoegers, but it seems to be a bit of a crapshoot when buying one. The Nova is a nice gun, but I'm still a huge fan of the 870. I shot one for a quarter of a century and never had a problem with it.
  11. Well, I'll try anyway.
  12. Trapshooter, Thanks for the civil discussions and the invitation, but I think we both know that neither of us will be changing our opinions on current events. So I respectfully decline the invitation to debate elsewhere. To the rest of the respectable forum members, I would like to apologize for my above outburst. I let the children get the best of me and lashed out. They are now and forever ignored by me, because I simply don't have to deal with their ridiculous behavior. They are not my responsibility. There are plenty of places on the net to discuss politics, and I may visit them sometimes, seeking meaningful debate with intelligent and respectful opponents, such as Trapshooter has been throughout this process. But while on these forums, I will respect and abide by our host's wishes and stick to the subject matter which brought us all here.
  13. Unfortunately, it is Maryland.
  14. I'd be glad to. I think the SBEII is still top dog in the Benelli lineup, beating the Vinci handily. Your thoughts?
  15. Click here, Asswipe!
  16. While we ware waiting to hear from some of our Canadian members, let's take a look at some comments from an American who now lives in Germany. http://www.amiexpat.com/2009/08/18/health-care-in-germany/
  17. On the subject of Canadian Healthcare; we have a number of Canadian members on the forums here. Perhaps some of them could relate their experiences to us? skeeter, Until you begin to show signs of adulthood, my dialogue with you ends with this post.
  18. Yes. http://currencythoughts.com/2008/09/26/us-gdp-growth-under-different-presidencies/ Obama has nothing to do with Canada's Healthcare System. Nothing. Why would you "blame" him for it? Taxes pay for government goods and services that serve the common good of all people. You know? Socialism. Things like the military, police departments, fire departments, etc. Protective and regulatory agencies like the FDA, FCC, FAA, FDIC, DOT, etc. insure that we can go about our daily lives with some structure and safety provided by the government. They regulate private industries to insure uniformity and to guard against chaos and abuses. A country with no taxes to pay for such services is either paying for them with nationalized industry, such as Dubai's oil industry, or they are living in chaos. Show me one country where its citizens do not pay taxes, and there is no nationalized industry, and I'll show you chaos and poverty. Did you live in Canada before you moved to Arkansas? Is that why you say these things? Do you have firsthand experience with their healthcare system?
  19. That would be true with any gun. Glad you like yours.
  20. Given some of the signs and posts above, Bush did indeed leave some children behind.
  21. Skeeter, I voted for Bush... twice. I wish I hadn't, but I did. So he had my respect, my support, and my vote for quite some time. He, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Gonzales, and others did everything they possibly could to burn through their equity with me. They trampled the Constitution, bankrupted a nation, and duped the Congress, the public, and many of our allies into a war that was neither necessary nor in any way helpful, and in most ways harmful. In many ways, they effectively doubled our 9-11 losses and then some. Not only in terms of human losses, but in terms of running an effective recruiting drive for our extremist enemies and for further destabilizing an already shaky region. All of that done on what turned out to be unsubstantiated and uncorroborated evidence from the nephew(?) of the guy who wanted a broken Iraq to fall into his lap. The guy we gave Millions of dollars to bring us some evidence. I voted for Obama, because A - I couldn't stand leaving the reins in the hands of the drunk, hapless, belligerent, and irresponsible for another term, and B - Because John McCain utterly and completely proved his decision-making abilities were pushing senility with the choosing of that dingbat from Alaska. As I did with Bush, I will give Obama a chance. Unlike Bush, who took office in a time of prosperity and growth, and with surpluses as opposed to deficits, Obama was handed the wheel of the Titanic when she was about three seconds off the iceberg. So far, he has done remarkable things. He has cleaned up the bailout mess where Bush and Paulson threw money into a well without so much as asking how deep it was. With some actual conditions attached to the money Obama has put into the economy, he has sobered Wall Street and taken steps to insure that taxpayers' money is being put to good use. He has stopped human rights violations being perpetrated by our government. He has re-focused our military on the proper objective in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The one that Bush's CIA had pinned down in Tora Bora and then refused to send in reinforcement to get the job finished, because Cheney had a personal bone to pick with some at the agency. He has rebuilt bridges burned between us and our allies by the former administration. He is moving us towards fixing the single largest remaining threat to our economy and to our children's future, the out of control healthcare industry in America. Heck, he has even given me unexpected bonuses with the repeal of the Bush ban on guns in National Parks. Trapshooter, Your analysis of the merits of trickle down economics is truly misguided. Any successful manufacturer will tell you that the road to productivity, and thus profits and prosperity is paved with employees who are healthy and who take pride in their work, due to having a sense of owning some part of what they're doing. Your sweat shop mentality may have worked OK in the days before worker's rights and safety laws were implemented - a kind of paid slavery, if you will. But those tactics don't work now. The rich keep the poor working by having the extra money to buy an extra pair of shoes? Are you serious?! The amount of tax increase being proposed on those making over $250,000/year equates to what most of us would consider a night out at a nice restaurant. In the course of a year, it will matter not one iota. I do well enough in my business. I have a company. I pay an accountant to manipulate my finances in such a way that it appears to the government that I barely scrape by every year. I pay less taxes now than I did when I made half as much, doing the short form. He plays within the rules, but he sure knows the rules well. The proposed tax increases will be on people with much better accountants than the one I use, but some small trickle of money will make its way through. Those proverbial drops in their buckets will make huge differences in the lives of the workers who drudge away in their factories and offices every day. My hope is that by the time that Obama finishes his work, no worker in America will have to feel trapped in a crappy job, because they're afraid to lose health insurance for themselves and their families. Too many employers are using healthcare as leverage to hold employees without giving them better wages and other benefits. Many companies have dropped pension plans and combined contribution savings plans altogether, just to keep health insurance in the benefits package. Too many good people are afraid to take a chance, like the one I did. Socialism? Maybe. But what's word for the taxpayers having to come to the rescue of the rich when they've driven their Benz into a ditch and are "too big to fail" or the "economy will crater". Words of wisdom from the ex Chariman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. You know his name. Or maybe you don't? And please, PLEASE don't come back with that classic GOP rebuttal that it was all Carter's and Clinton's fault for making the banks give loans to deadbeats. You want to know what really drove this company over the brink? Look no further than the hands-off government you so deeply yearn to let back into power.
  22. Finish? From the looks of the posts, I doubt she's even started yet.
  23. Ninja awesomeness works just as well! http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bal-sword0915,0,4027961.story Hopkins student kills intruder with samurai sword, police say Off-campus house was burglarized Monday; suspect recently freed from county jail A Johns Hopkins University student armed with a samurai sword killed a man who broke into the garage of his off-campus residence early Tuesday, a Baltimore police spokesman said. According to preliminary reports, a resident of the 300 block of E. University Parkway called police about a suspicious person, department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. An off-duty officer responded about 1:20 a.m. to the area with university security, according to Guglielmi. They heard shouts and screams from a neighboring house and found the suspected burglar suffering from a nearly severed hand and laceration to his upper body, he said. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Based on the initial investigation, the student killed the man with only one strike of the sword, according to Guglielmi. The medical examiner will make the final determination, he said. The student told police that he heard a commotion in the house and went downstairs armed with the sword, Guglielmi said. He saw the side door to the garage had been pried open and found a man inside, who lunged at the student. There was no indication that the suspected burglar was armed, however, according to Guglielmi. Burglars had already stolen two laptops and a S0NY Pl@yst@tion from the student's home Monday, Guglielmi said. Dennis O'Shea, a spokesman for Johns Hopkins, said all four residents of the house are undergraduate students at the university. Police had released three of the roommates by Tuesday afternoon. The student who wielded the sword remained in custody while investigators worked to corroborate his story with evidence and witness statements. Police have not released the name of the residents, but department sources identified the detained student as John Pontolillo, 20, of Wall, N.J. The city state's attorney's office will determine whether to press charges, Guglielmi said." (for Ninjering without a permit?)
  24. You're doing it wrong.
