    Not this one. It's a bone stock Inland, from the worn finish, matching #'s etc. The way she was shooting, w rds would just add unnecessary weight, plus as the eyes get older more of a hindrance, than help. Interesting idea, however, for someone wanting a different defensive carbine.

    Pretty cool she was running M1, figured most granny types would still run lever guns.

    The granny types out here are running Staccato's, STI's , full size 1911's VP9's. Carbines run from a PSA, to LWRC's and DD's. Last of my clients i saw over at tombstone was going to lunch to see if she could make up her mind between the POF, or DD carbine. Her sidearm's are the kimber Ultra Carry II or CZ PO-1. These ladies don't fool around, especially the AWA one's. They're more geared up than most " tier 1" wannabe's . It's interesting how many woman (of all ages) take their training seriously out here.

    Been having a rough Aug/Sept.

    ER three Xs in four weeks in Aug. BP 54 over 52, O2 77%...they sent the wife out of the room just in case. Four broken metatarsals L foot, among other things. Repaired three vehicles engine wiring from rats eating them...and installing strobe/sound emitters and spraying spearmint spray on all the wiring. I've trapped at least six of those little fuckers since then and two skunks, all of which got "repurposed" in the arroyo .

    Kid is coming down for his annual visit next week, it'll be good to spend some time with him for a bit.

    I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road. Without having its motives questioned.

    Or even a rooster that identifies as a chicken.

    Copied from our local FB marketplace. For their 95 RAM 1500 4x4.


    Are you a man’s man?
    Do you eat your steak rare, take your coffee black & use Lava soap in the shower?
    You’re the kind of guy who conceal carries a full size 1911 year ‘round, chews Red Man & has no idea what Starbucks is. Well buddy, this truck is for you.

    Made in the good ‘ol USA, by hard working Americans who knew how to build a truck. Equipped with a 360 cubic inch (5.9 liter for those people from countries that have never been to the moon) Magnum engine, paired with an automatic transmission.
    Manual shift transfer case, because you know this bad mutha-trucka is meant to go off-road and ain’t no sissy city truck. New 33” mud terrain tires with less than 1000 miles on them.

    Center console flips up, so your old lady can sit right next to you. And if you don’t have no old lady presently, better get yourself a snorkel, because you’ll be drowning in you know what, when the ladies in town see you driving around with your arm out the window of this chick magnet.
    PM for more details

    Nowadays, seniors were born well after the turn of the century.
    The organization ?Sons & Daughters of the Civil War? went belly up due no more living people that qualify.
    Heck, of the 16+ million WW2 veterans, there are only about 119,000 still living.
