If you liked M1’s I figured you’d have some m14’s and Mini14’s and of course the original Garand!!!

That bolt also looks very similar to a Beretta A400 semi 12 ga. I’m sure it was purposely engineered to be similar

I'd rather have a Mini then an AR. Covers the same situations and I dont have to hear the snowflakes cry about scary rifle ********.

Snowflakes ?
WoOT !!!
Fresh powder


One of my shop customers needed some wood , he was more than happy when I offered some softwood



Scrounged him up a trailer load , him and his son loaded , he offered monies but I declined , I told him it wasn't for sale but if he needed wood it was his .

I call it,

The saw pan!

16ga 304 s.s. 24”x24” with a .3” lip around the sides. Work on saws at the kitchen table without messing up the table. Corners welded to catch bar oil or the occasional fuel

AR's are nasty. They cause world hunger, cancer, rob banks, kill people, transmit the coronavirus, and meddle in elections. I feel so much safer now that our govt banned them.

and the guys with ar's aren't even the guys they should be afraid of. The guys with the long range freedom delivery systems are the guys they will never see. But we will keep that our little secret.

Oh, I want an M1A/14 bad! For now, I just have a Garand, which I ain’t complaining!

Looks like you’re raising then right!!!

Thanks Muad, those are two of my nephews. I have a ton of nephews and two daughters. I’m the uncle with all the “fun” toys. Kinda like my Uncle Mustang Mike, he had two daughters and lots of cool toys

and lots of cool toys

Good save. Well done.

High winds today, gust to 50-60mph. Spokane got hit badly, lots of big pines down, some still standing but leaning badly. One neighborhood had to evacuate due to down trees and power lines with more still leaning. Be a good time to own a tree service business.

I haven't heard of any local but will probably hear of some in the morning at the coffee club. I'll offer my services, none hazard only.

Sounds like quite the mess out there.
We had some wind here and the sky actually cleared up and we saw the sun and blue skies all day, it's been a while and they are saying it will be a while until it happens again .
Storm damage can certainly be hazardous, not much that's non-hazard, heck there's enough hazard cutting standing trees .
Sounds like you'll have plenty of scrounge wood once everything is cleared from the lines and homes, many of those crews are in and out leaving a lot of wood. The biggest bummer about that is all the odd lengths, but at least it isn't all going into a chipper .

So here's some pictures of the trees at our place, I thought they were hackberry, looking at their range if they are they seem to be close to the northern edge of it.
The first two pictures are a smaller one and then a larger one.
Thanks for looking guys.

Sure looks like hackberry to me but I only know it from seeing other folks on here who have cut it.

What’s in the glass?

Some good bourbon or scotch I hope.

Looks like elm to me.

Is the bark look multi-layer if you break a piece off?

That's what I thought too, but was questioning it because I've never had anyone local who knew for sure, that and seeing the range chart earlier this weekend.
I have a couple others I'm not sure of too. I think we have a very nice variety of trees at our place .

We have elm, this looks nothing like them. I've heard guys call these ironwood, the bark doesn't break off easily, the damage to the smaller one is from a department of trans guy attempting to back a trailer full of road signs into the accessory drive .

I’ve cut trees that look just like that, which ended up being elm. Stringy as heck, but burns good. I’ve heard it called ironwood before as well.

I’m not a peat fan, so only like a few scotches.

I’m a bourbon fan. Have been building the collection. Haven’t had/heard of Dickel. My most recent acquisition was some Colonel EH Taylor Small Batch.

I haven’t had a rye I didn’t like yet

Have you guys tried Knob Creek? My favorite mass produced bourbon. It’s 100 proof though so may be a bit strong for some.
