Re: 7.7 Jap rifle
My dad had one with the anti aircraft sight. He sold it several years ago. Mine has the flip up sight for elevation, but the little flip down sights to lead an aircraft are gone. another thing to look for is the Chrysanthemum mark of the Emperor. If that has not been ground off, it generally indica...

Re: Boredom, strikes again
I bought it on Amazon (Kindle) read it about a month ago. I am kinda strange. I like stuff that is 99% accurate, real life, the way it happened. Even if it is kinda mundane, run of the mill stuff. I will not read "novels". If I want to make shit up, I can do that myself. That is just be be...

Re: Great tunes from your youth?
I am 69. Figured I should have died at about 35. Been living on borrowed time ever since. I even like some of the 90's music. Van Halen, a little AC/DC, Eddie Grant. Not too particular. But mostly like the older country stuff, and of course Hank Jr. and Sr.

Re: Chocolate will not hurt dogs.
My son has a King Charles Spaniel. At one time they were down to something like 8 dogs of that breed. So they are all badly inbred. That thing is deaf, all sorts of things go wrong with it. Purely an inside, lap dog, pampered. doubt it lives to be 10. Seems like the mutts have that "hybrid vigo...

7.7 Jap rifle
So I stumbled on a Face book page devoted to this rifle. Just doing a little reading, and I had always assumed they were kinda junk. I bought one in the late 70's from Larry Potterfield in his original store, Ely Arms, in Columbia Mo. That was before he started Midway arms. $80 and that included a n...

Re: Chocolate will not hurt dogs.
I just came back and re read this post. I wonder if the breed of dog makes a difference? Ole Ebo is just a scroungy old, standard sized beagle. Seems like he is the garbage disposal of the doggie kindgom. I do not make it a practice of feeding him chocolate, and will try to keep him away from it. He...

Re: Remington 572 question.
Solved part of the mystery. Those aluminum receivers came out in several colors. Brown, Green and cant remember the other one. Anyway, I can see where someone buffed this one out to make it shiny aluminum. Found a few spots of green, real faint.
