When you say Stanley knife I think of this (in my family, we always
called them carpet knives):

When you say Box Cutter, I think of a thin handle for a single
edge razor blade, with a sliding metal sheath, the whole thing is maybe
5mm thick. Can't find a pic of it on the 'net. They were cheap, you could
buy one for maybe $0.25 in the 70's or you could often get a free one as 
advertising.
I had a yellow one with Schweppes' beverages logo on it when I was a wee lad.

 From Wiki:In Australia, it is illegal to sell a cutting implement such as a 
utility knife to 
anyone under 16 years of age, and proof of age is often demanded of purchasers.

Better be quiet - or one day those people who want to ban everything will 
realize the common factor in shootings, knifings, beatings, etc is the 
hands.  Yep, ban or register hands and the problem will be solved.  Trouble 
is, we'll have trouble doing much of anything.

Re: [MBZ] Air guns

2008-06-22 Thread Peter Frederick
The actual definition of alcoholism is drinking to the point that the  
alcohol consumption greatly interferes with one's life.  Counting the  
drinks isn't quite the same as not being able to keep a job or  
compulsive lying. etc.

After all, four beers for a 95 lb woman is a lot more beer per lb  
that four beers for a 250 lb, fit male.

It's not the alcohol that counts, it's the addiction that counts.

Not completely sure how they came to that number but I suspect health 
care professionals where behind it, coupled with a government wanting to 
be seen to be doing something...anything about a media beat up that 
teens are drinking themselves stupid every day, which they have been 
doing since the invention of alcohol.
Anyway you can twist definitions around in lots of ways, for instance if 
you are speeding you are committing a criminal act and if you get caught 
you are a criminal.

I think there's somethng about doing something learned years ago that allows 
concentration to take over and remove the tremors.  I'll bet he got great 
pleasure from afternoons like you spent with him --  hopefully others 
stepped in when you were not there -

Course, shooting is a great sport whch is sadly disappearing with the loss 
of more and more easily accessible ranges.   I suspect surburban sprawl is

One of the guys had Parkinsons so bad he had to put the pistol and the

We all backed away when he brought that pistol up to shoot but it was 
amazing, as he brought the gun up all sign of the tremor ceased and he was 
just as steady as a rock. He then proceeded to shoot different handloads 
through a chronograph. This was a window chrono so he had to keep all his 
shots to about a 4 window or he'd have blown his chrono apart.
When he first went for a mag change I offered to help which he greatly 
appreciated. I spent most of a day with him, changing mags and refilling 
them. He shot about 300 rounds all of which would have taken up no more 
space than the bottom of a soda can...

Now that 20 mm would take care of my squirrel problem, Wilton!  Doubt I'd be

Airsoft might have a higher rate of fire than a Crosman 760, but what will
it do to a pigeon, sting it to death?
That Caselman is an interesting toy, but I think this would be more in line

Re: [MBZ] Air guns

2008-06-18 Thread Curt Raymond
Dad and I were at the range one time and a couple old fellers were there with 
their .45s.
One of the guys had Parkinsons so bad he had to put the pistol and the magazine 
on the table and slowly slide them together...
We all backed away when he brought that pistol up to shoot but it was amazing, 
as he brought the gun up all sign of the tremor ceased and he was just as 
steady as a rock. He then proceeded to shoot different handloads through a 
chronograph. This was a window chrono so he had to keep all his shots to about 
a 4 window or he'd have blown his chrono apart.
When he first went for a mag change I offered to help which he greatly 
appreciated. I spent most of a day with him, changing mags and refilling them. 
He shot about 300 rounds all of which would have taken up no more space than 
the bottom of a soda can...
