    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    Managed a few nights out on the long weekend before the first wave of AC calls brought me back to the city early. The truck was just transport for the bicycles this time. Saw an otter, beavers, pelicans, herrons, personally killed over 40 wood ticks. The beavers have made a few damns along the...

    Any idea what OEM U bolts are?

    Canadians... What's it really like?

    Yeah when bolt action rifles and shotguns along with various pump action shotgun a are being quietly moved from Non-restricted to Prohibited in the FRT by the hundreds, OUTSIDE of the platforms listed in the OIC, there is some dangerous, shady BS going on. There are rifles and shotguns being...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Disappointing, I've had failure to ejects with specifically UMC .38 special lead nose. It's like the extractor doesn't get a full grip on the rim, and also like the empty case is a bit tight in the chamber. I only fired five live rounds through it, but been cycling some other live rounds of same...

    Out with the old, in with the new...F-150.

    XLT sport is significantly more money than an XLT, and I've only seen them with consoles and buckets, not a bench. But yeah I've not seen any STX or sport XL trucks but lots of XLT sports and Lariat Sports. Big $

    What is the offset of these wheels?

    I'm cold! You can help!

    That ain't right. The £ has always cost us $1.50-$2 when I have looked. There must be import tariff, or the retailers are just hosing you. I remember being excited in Scotland to have a pint for £3 until I did the math and it was $6 just like back at home.

    I'm soo ************** out of shape and old now I just finished going thru and setting up my hiking bag for a 4 day 3 night bicycle/camp trip and the pack weighs 37# loaded up with food and water included, but not including spare tube or bike tools. Started looking at the supposedly magical properties...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Ok so it arrived. I've only spent about 20 minutes with it before it went in the safe, so will get some time behind it next weekend ideally. I've cycled the action a dozen times empty and ran five cartridges through it without firing. I've also taken it down three times. Specs as according to...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Rifle delivery was attempted yesterday but of course I worked 12 hours and missed. Should be ready for pick up at the local office after 1pm today!! Don't think I'll have time for pics and weight etc today but will try to get those tomorrow. Also got a bunch of .38, +P, and .357 boxes in the...

    That's what drives me nuts with Ford. XLT? chrome grille and bumpers. You want some more options? Congratulations, we added more chrome with that power seat, Leather steering wheel, and sliding rear window. Please enjoy Chrome mirrors, door handles, tailpipe, and wheels.

    Well now shotguns are actually getting prohibited by this OIC, along with rifles suitable for dangerous game. Be interesting to see if the guys and gals who exclusively hunt waterfowl or shoot clays realize that they are in fact next in line to lose everything.

    Thoughts on the 2017+ Tahoe?

    We live in the age of base model V6s with 300+ HP 380+ HP V8s in a full size being underpowered is a really high altitude issue, or a very young person issue. Oh yeah and an extra 2-4 gears compared to days of yore.

    Birthday gun for myself.

    According to my shipping ticket, I'll have my shorty lever gun before the May long weekend. Plan to be on a "mountain bike" (more like cross country bike) camping trip. Will bring the Chiappa along assuming it's actually here. Will weigh and measure it beforehand because I'm getting conflicting...

    There is a few handles here that aren't welcome to stop by my OSB and staple ******** box if I ever manage to get to any sort of overland rally. That's assuming I'm not in jail or murdered by the state for not licking boots.

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Can't carry side arms in Canada. All pistols are restricted. Was looking at the Ruger PC as buddies take down 10/22 is pretty neat and handy. .357 hands down out performs 9mm by a fair margin though.

    I'm not cheering a half dozen friends aren't cheering. We gave up charter rights and jumped through hoops, and followed all the rules and we are repaid by being labeled criminals and the choice of surrendering what was legally acquired property, AT best paid back for the property with other...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    That's a gorgeous rifle. I ended up actually finding a 12" barrel .357 take down from Chiappa in country. That is to say, it says in stock and the purchase went through, but that's happened before only for me to get a call saying it's not actually in stock. I looked a few Canadian shops...
