Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Would show wear, damage ? I don't know what they are supposed to be. I don't want to replace it with another " pos".

Do you get Point Special way out West there? Beats _(any)____lite

We do have Point beer over here but I've not really paid much attention as to what exactly there is as the selections are usually limited most places. But at the nearest Runnings over in MN they have a rather large variety of Point root beer, cream and other flavored sodas, etc. for sale. My sister went to collage at Stevens Point so we always gave her a list of stuff to bring back when she came home if we didn't go over to visit.

At the now long gone mom & pop hardware store in the early 2000's a brick of American Eagle .22 was $4-5. On a Saturday me and dad would go get one, then some frozen pizza and pop from the gas station and go home for lunch and some plinking. Certain brands of frozen pizza the cardboard the pizza was on was white on one side, all you needed was a Sharpie marker to draw a dot in the center for a easy target. Still have most of 1 brick pf .22 left from back then.

I've been looking for mags, not a lot out there for the magnum version that they don't want an arm and leg for.
But, I found this. Read down the page a bit.

Last summer I started insulating my basement . Got about half done I’ll be doing the rest again this spring . 3/4 inch foam board with osb as a wall covering . Heat retention is dramatic

Just noticed that the laser dot looks added in the picture.

Meanwhile the 77/17, it’s a good rifle, but I haven’t found the magic round for it yet. Tried Hornady 17gr vmax and CCI 17gr vmax (red tip for the Hornady black tip for the CCI, go figure) Remington 17gr accutip (green tip) and 20gr CCI “Gamepoint”

Anyone got a 17hmr they like I haven’t listed??

I use the Winchester super x 20gr, they do a great job on chipmunks out to 65yrds(thats usually as far away as I shoot them), and they took the coyote at probably just under 100yrds. As for paper, I have no idea what they do.

I wasn't sure of the model so I took a look. Turns out it's a Taurus TX22.View attachment 1232231

We ran about 150 rounds through it and had no malfunctions.

Nice little plinker, I've been wanting to snag one up.

Always good to see some cast iron put to use. Cast your cares to the wind and cook in iron.

I vaguely remember a tale the camp counselors used to tell us when we were at Boy Scout Camp (Camp Reed) in the Adirondacks. We were there for 2 weeks every summer, and I loved it ... shooting and canoeing, blueberry picking and hiking ... just great.

It involved finding a Collins Axe, and an axe murderer still running around loose at night. I don't think anyone really believed the story, but they tried!

Things weren't quite so politically correct back then.

In addition to the bolt action 22s used at 50ft, they had smooth bore 22s for trap shooting. IIRC correctly the shot shells were #9 shot. Almost impossible to break a bird with those darn things, but we tried! I don't think anyone has produced a smooth bore 22 for a long time.

We also had "Nature", where they would give you a have-a-heart trap to catch animals to bring to "Nature". You would get different points for different animals.

One time when I did not get to Nature in time to get a trap, I instead made a snare using twine and a tent peg. I caught more than one Raccoon with it but always ended up letting them go as it would snare their back leg, and I was afraid of breaking it.

Another time, a porcupine was going across our campsite, so we pulled the sheets off the Asst. Scoutmaster's bed and caught the porcupine with them. We got a lot of points at Nature for that one, but by the time we got the sheet off of it the porcupine was near bald, and the Asst. Scoutmaster was not so happy either!

I remember you telling that porky story in the past. That is hilarious!

Well I dug into the 7910 . I’ll try rebuilding the carb if not I’ll just replace but I found several other items that need to be replaced . The manifold boot is cracked and brittle as are all the rubber lines . Never seen ethanol so not sure why .

Any one know a good place to get the kit/carb and the boot ?

That saw is relatively new, isn't it? Surprising that all the rubber is brittle. I personally would go to the Echo dealer. As far as online I'd try HL Supply. I've been happy with them.

I’m looking for recommendations for tool chest liners. I prefer the mat type vs the “Fench Fit” type for things like combo wrenches, screw drivers, ratchet handles, breaker bars, etc. I’ve got decent socket storage but none of the mats I’ve tried have worked very well: Either the entire mat slid in the drawer or the tools slid on the mats. Suggestions??

This is my Dolmar saw not the Echo I bought last year . Think I’ve had it 7 or 8 years . I called a dealer that was a Dolmar dealer he may have a boot in stock

 

[SS396driver]

Anyone deal with these people?


They list a new Zama C3M-DM18A carb for $55

 

[MustangMike]

Not sure I would want to go OEM if that is what it looks like! That is not real long for "saw rubber" IMO. I've had China stuff last longer!

Stihl OEM is expensive ... but it lasts!

I just used shelf liners like for kitchen drawers. Nothing slides around. And I found red to match the crapsman toolboxes. Some of the more discerning mechanics here may have a better suggestion.
