The "Whatever" Thread

Although today didn't get as warm as forecast it was still a great day to get out. The family jumped into the Jeep and headed to the mountains. These icicles didn't know it was supposed to be 60 today.

My son excited to reach our destination.

The view from the rocks.


The Mrs relaxing, and posing for a pic to tease her dad. He told her he had seen pics of people with their feet dangling off the rocks but he wasn't sure why.

The day took it's toll on my little man.

When we got to town I lost the vote 2-1 and had to wash the mud off of the Jeep.
 
F fishiker you need to include us in the clean/no clean vote! We’ll get your back!

So I got my first experience with an “antique” rifle excessively covered in cosmoline this week. Not as bad as many make it sound, but it does take a bit of work to get rid of all that grease. For any interested it’s a Yugo sks. I have an odd affinity lately for Yugo arms. It’ll be a couple months before my outdoor range of choice is open for me to go try it out.
I also just ordered a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite as a five year anniversary gift for my better half. She had a Mark III same model but I HATED reassembling that thing so she sold it off and has missed it ever since.

Congrats on the anniversary! :thumbsup::cool:

Which outdoor range do you use? I need some recoil therapy and have been stuck with the 25 yard indoor ranges.
 
Oh that’s awesome! You should definitely go check it out but bring your own tape/staple gun and targets. I like bringing paper plates as cheap targets. They opened early last year too. Maybe I’ll make it out sooner than later. I have no Facebook but I can check availability with them directly.
 
A couple friends and I went to a range that you had to bring your own to. We forgot and realized it on the way. We stopped at the dollar store bought some coloring books and toothpicks to stick them to the foam backers. Turned out to be fun targets :p.

I remember when you could buy an SKS with the folding bayonet for $79 still in the cosmoline. Those were fun to shoot.

Easily worth $25 anyway!:rolleyes:
Give me a 99 dollar M1 carbine anyday ( a little further back in time, but still in our lifetime John).

Last surplus gun I bought was a Swedish 6.5x55 Mauser for $59.99 plus shipping in about 1980. Sporterized it myself ( including a butt to muzzle orange spray paint job)and shot a Black Hills SD buck with it.
Tried to buy it back from the guy I sold it to but he ain't selling! Says it shoots to good!
