I went through "advanced firefighting training" in Japan when I was in the navy in 1976, part of the course involved how to deal with "specialized metals" fires, magnesium being one of them.
The instructor lit a hunk of magnesium with a torch and got it burning- it was a slice of a Halibrand...
I had a bunch of 7.62R tracers that I shot in my "sporterized" M44 that I hunted with as a teen- the bullet tips were marked with some sort of green paint
Well I just got my fishing license about 10 days ago and went out last friday and caught 4 trout and lost 3 that threw the hook on a lure
A blue heron tried to steal the big one from me when I was landing him but I went at him with my net and yelled at him and he let go
Lady Napsalot and I ate...
My favorite rifle is my 1951 SAKO L46 "Riihimaki" in .222Rem. which was the first year for the .222Rem. cartridge
it was also the first centerfire round I shot as a kid, from my stepdad's Savage 20ga./.222 O/U so I'm sentimental about that
