If I was going to hold up in a silo, I'd make sure I had my buddy with his 1919 Browning, belt fed 30-06. By the time that guy got off 3 rounds at my silo, we would have 100 at his muzzle flash. His uncle used to do transfers for me, before I got my FFL. One time he was showing me something in one of his safe's. I said, "Ed what's that big square thing in the back?" He said, "it's my 1919 Browning, I keep the barrel in another safe. I used to shoot it in the berm in the back yard, can't do that any more!". He lived in Lansdown, which is just over the line of Baltimore city. Can you imagine shooting a machine gun in Baltimore. Oh, the good old days.
That is real nice, much better than renting one, but sometimes a little forced motivation goes a long way.
Thanks man.
.I'd like to find another one, the price of them has gotten way out of reach, I'd need to find another one that needed work done on it. When I get my barn built I'll probably build something like a Suzuki samurai. It's a titled vehicle so it can be used on the rd and you know you can do what you want with the chassis and you could easily mount the same box on the back if the frame was slightly extended.
RAGBRAI’s staff all quit & started another ride across Iowa, they said it had become to commercial & was getting away from its roots in small towns, mom & pop stands. I would agree whole heartedly. I have done it twice & really don’t care to do it again. I watched them shut down at least two water stands that kids where running because they didn’t have permits. It has overnighted our town of 1500 twice & it costs the town more to have an overnight than the community ever gets back. Several communities refuse to let them overnight. There were several articles in the Des Moines Register & other papers about it.
Man that's right out the back!
11pm here laying on the couch with the AC on and it’s still 97f outside. I think may spend the night here
