Got a call for help today, from a real good friend of mine. He had a bunch of oak hauled to hi house, been cutting a few day's and said he was out gunned. He has a real nice 254xp, but that's his only saw. He want's to ad a bigger saw to the lineup, but short on cash. So I am going to head over in the next weekend, or so with the fleet, and let him sample saw's! But I told him in this size wood two of mine will be the standouts, 2101 and the 660.

Hey Norm did you go cutting on that wood yet? I can think of a few big McCullochs 'round here that'd like to chew on some big oak...

I got a lead on a green muscle saw while out looking at muscle guns, I couldn't afford the guns but hopefully the saw will pan out, just waiting for a call from a saw shop mechanic who said he stored some green monsters a few years ago to keep them from going to scrap. So until then here are some pics of what I did yesterday.

Nice toys Jim. SMG's are a hoot. Looks like a KRISS Vector, an Uzi, and an MP5K. I've shot an Uzi and a full sized MP5 (not a K). Haven't played with a KRISS yet. Some neat ideas in that one. 45ACP to boot. I ran a Thompson M1A1 and it was just about the most fun I've had with my pants on....:D

KRISS Vector SMG

I think i will call you sir.......

Neil my friend, after seeing pics of you..............................I don't think you need to call anybody sir...:cheers:

Only group with a higher % of ******s is the Arbs, they fight like girls.

Yep. Comes from having too much sustained harness pressure on the nads.....:jester:

'sup Norm?
The 1100 is hanging with the Homelite 2100S, whispering stories to themselves, wishing they were painted yellow.:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

That 2100-S can come hang out here where there's a bit more red (and blue) to fend off the yellow. Soon as I swap out that oil tank I'll gladly trade you a McCulloch (that you already own) for the big Homelite.

You can't blame me for trying.....:hmm3grin2orange:
 
They are definitely fun but the one I really enjoyed was the G36, this gun is all Rock and Roll, most fun you can have with your pants on, also one of the most accurate sniper set ups for a full auto gun with a range finder-lead indicator 3x scope built into the handle.
 
Good stuff Jim!! I will check out that thread again too! Randy glad those saws are in good hands:clap: No Aaron have not cut that yet, wanna hook up?
 
Funny guy, lookin' for some stockade time?

............................well if I can choose the stockade...

and if the 2100-S is there to keep me company...............well then sure. I still have my house set.:D

Interesting. I haven't really warmed to the gas opperated plastic H&K's. Also not big on 5.56N when 7.62N is available. I've shot both M4's and FAL's on rock and roll. Maybe it's because I'm "stocky".......................but the FAL was more controlable to me, and a hell of a lot more fun to shoot. Everybody likes different stuff.

I'm also still mourning the loss of the H&K roller guns (G3, MP5, G33, etc). Only thing I didn't like about the G3 (full auto version of the H&K 91 that some old logger here would be familiar with) is that they had terrible triggers (and the Para stock buttplate is crap). Super accurate. I once shot a Para H&K 91 at a range for company that was developing remote firing mounts for millitary and LE applications back in 1997-1998. They wanted to compare 'human' accuracy with the weapon to the results they were getting with their mount. I'd gotten to know the company owner, as he'd been testing the mount when I was the rangemaster at a local outdoor range (Circle-S in Tomales, Ca). They were all "lab nerds"and didn't know jack about shooting. I guess they'd chosen me because I had helped them maintain the weapon. Maybe they couldn't get a real bench rest shooter to help them out...

The weapon had a 3-9 power Vari-X III on it (in an H&K claw mount). That collapsable stock is the POOPS when it comes to accurate shooting. No way to get a good cheek weld, and the small, curved, serrated buttplate digs in to your shoulder. I still shot several 5 shot groups (using ball ammo no less) that went into 1-1/2". Same results from their mount. I was pretty chuffed to say the least. The company was Hawkes Ocean Technologies (owner's name is Graham Hawkes, and his "main" business was building unmanned remote underwater vehicles). Graham had been working on a manned sub to explore the Marianes (SP?) trench. Don't know if he's still persuing it. I also don't know if they still go by that name, changed the company name, formed a sepperate company (for the military/LE stuff), or what. I lost contact with them after 1998. Their basic system has been in use by the military and LE community (and in movies, such as "Shooter") since. There's a version of their system with a vehicle mounted M2HB.

Unbeknownst to me, they were filming my shooting, field stripping of the weapon, and my measuring of the groups at the target (using the scale on my Gerber Multi-Tool). About a month or so later, a buddy at work was all excited when he told me all about this 'new' remote firing platform that he'd seen in a TV news segment. Told me all about it and described in detail what he'd saw regarding some guy firing the rifle, measureing the groups, etc. I had to laugh when I told him that the guy he saw on TV was ME!!!:D

Sure Norm. I need to file a couple chains and mix up some fuel...................but other than that I'm ready to make some McNoise and some big chips.

Finally all the parts came in for my buddies 075, put it all back together and got it running, starts on 2 pulls, will have to wait till day light to finish tuneing, and getting it in some wood. It will be good to get this beast off my bench as I am forming quite the line.
 
........but it's a good "problem" to have. The three most pressing projects aren't mine though. Two big beasts that belong to friends, and one saw for the Stumpy raffle. That one is close to ready thank God.:cheers:
 
Poulan monsters

Ok Norm, I thought I would post a pic for you here in case you missed the Poulan thread or my own thread, 4 85cc muscle saws in one shot $80. Not to bad for Spokane Wa.


A outright steal!!! just parted out a couple Poulan 4200 that spun seals in the case and messed them up, came from "Spokane" via feebay, thought I lost my *** on them at $40.00 each, parted them back out on feebay for 6x my investment, full wraps $$$$$

Aaron, was that the two rock range, or was there one in Tomales as well? Jim that 075 is a beast good saw man. I am not real knowlegeable on the poulan muscle, but will say though made by Dolmar, I was very impressed with the one I picked up for Lee. To say the least I fell in love with that saw.

Yep. The Two Rock range. Circle-S Ranch. Off of Tomales road, a few miles past the Coast Guard base.
 
Ok used to go to that one, years ago and cotati rod, and gun club. Watching a great Glen ford movie right now the sheepman. I love westerns!! I am cutting this weekend, and next both saturdays. Next Saturday preety much cut and clean up on one hunting ranch. The following Two big dead tan oak's we are going to help our good buddy take down. Up on top of gabes rock road in guerneville.
