Old school Avalon Hill "bookcase" wargames , Panzer Leader dates from the 1970's , Squad Leader was one of the most lauded games from the early 1980's although became almost unplayable in later versions due to the complexity . Folding "geomorphic" map board, counters galore , rules for virtually everything . Never got D&D as a kid , it was all about war 😆 Personally play Panzer Leader occasionally as can't remember half of the game structure of SL . Also , I might have custom mapped out a lot of the Ardennes to be able recreate all of Kampfgruppe Peipers attack during the Battle of the Bulge complete with game TOE's ....🤫 just a lil obsessed . It's odd to later drive along roads and terrain you've mapped out ! A link to one of the better Panzer Leader websites here ...I used to chat to Greg Moore though fear he might not be with us anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 My dad has a lot of really nice old tools like that which he inherited from an uncle who was a master carpenter. I suspect they will come my way eventually as my brother has zero interest in stuff like this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I be hard press to put advice on that subject matter Tim.The WWII and probably WWI lotsa fake got to really study and not a big interest of mine.I do fancy some swords have never won though I esp. like the French Naval Swords of the 17/1800's slender with Nice hilts.

ScottsGT Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I think I mentioned earlier that I consider my yard care and improvements a hobby. Last fall I carried a battery powered sprayer all around the yard walking a pattern with that heavy thing slung over my shoulder. A week later I was laid up in bed with one of my worst back episodes I’ve ever had. Told my wife I went cheap and now I’m paying the price. So I looked into a sprayer I could mount on my ZTR mower. All starts with an ATV “luggage rack”. Welded up a few brackets yesterday and got it mounted. live got a 16 gallon sprayer system on order that will sit on the rack. I know it looks close to the engine in this pic, but it actually sits higher. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Went shooting today at a buddies place in the country about 15m N of me.He is an old VN vet served as a radio guy in the Army carried a .45 and M2 carbine.He just acquired an M1 Inland 10/44 and I got the ammo.I brought the Spanish Fr-8 in .308 and shot about 20 rds his Son Kevin shot 5rds.We were shooting a 1/4" plate 12'X12"(100yds) Joe hit 10rds in a row with the M1 about 3 mags into the shoot I finally hit the plate in my last 5 rds 4/5.I blew holes like it was butter it been over a year since Joe and I had gotten together good friend and he's 80 and Spry.I left giving Joe two more mags loaded(got plenty) and filled his and told him to do some oiling here and there he had about 5 real lite primer strikes figuring the firing pin needs some lube.Stress Relief. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggtim Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I'm not actually saying who bought this (cuz big brother probably keeps a record of such things) but whoever it was still needs to put optics on it. He just can't afford it because he's really broke now. It's a good thing he doesn't have any other hobbies to spend money on. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The originals were modified M14s with the rail added like this one. The DMR receivers are nice because the rail has a groove in it that allows use of the iron sights, and can be removed entirely if desired, unlike a modern M21 receiver, on which the rail is integrated. That front sight is made by Smith Enterprises and is designed for use with certain muzzle accessories, which this rifle's previous owner had on it. It is also used on many SOCOM style M14s by the US military. The new owner has installed a new Fulton NM USGI style flash hider, and is waiting on a standard gas lock in the mail before installing the new NM front sight. The SEI sight is rather nice, though, as it sits slightly higher than the stock setup. It will be kept for possible future use. Smith also makes an extended bolt release that is standard on all US military M14s now. One of those has been backordered as well. And we thought model building was expensive.... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
