PSA - Noobs and Retail Store Help Rant

[GSPV]

it was the Wheeler I was talking about, barrel cut right, its good, BUT then there is the arbor type that I do not like at all,,period,,
I've got two made by Site Lite that I do use a lot.

I have two of the Wheeler ones...long story. They are great as long as you recognize the assumption behind them. Work outside that and you’re in for a less than satisfying result.

I've learned a lot on the internet, RIGHT HERE, I've also had someone here tell me hat I kept sloppy records, who were they, don't know, I keep records, I can tell you where I was at
and what we were doing all the way back to 1978,,

I’m using the internet to talk to Mike Ezell, Jim Borden, Jerry Sharrett, and a slew of great gunsmiths. Select YouTube for well-respected machinists on how to clean up my lathe, wire a VFD, etc.

You seem to have rushed to judgment that I’m a dumb-a$$. You might want to stick around a while and get to know me before making further rash accusations. You’ll look less like a jerk.

OH! I didn't "rush to it" , just by watching I came to that conclusion over a period of time!

Hey, you’re welcome to your opinion. I seem to have done rather well on the mental faculties God saw fit to give me.

I’m not worried. Been working in aerospace for Uncle Sammy for over 30 years. I don’t have any secrets...can’t have any in my line of work.

only planes I ever liked were the F-4, and the SR-71.

Yup! GSPV!! I think you have the brain cells to figure it out! (Based solely on how smart you were to marry such a pretty and generous girl!)

Nice, but what about the A10 Warthogs? Ya gotta love those! Just for the gun, if for nothing else!

Back to the OP: I listen to the counter guys for entertainment purposes only!

The A10, like the F-16 was the right plane for the right job, at the right time.

The stuff that I did would have been great on the A10. GREAT. But, we were the AFTI F-16 and she will always be my second best girl.

I loved seeing, hearing, and feeling them. They flew over my place in Ft Worth headed west to play. Sometimes at very early hours . Just about knock you out of bed...

Another interesting question. Why did these guys stick my work pal with a 4.5-18X Nikon ProStaff FFP BDC reticle scope when he will be hunting in woods and short (200 yard max) fields in Georgia? It required a different set of rings from the Tikka that I gave him (too low), and they didn’t have taller Tikka rings, so he had to get a mount. He’s a noob but must be pretty good salespeople. :/.

RM-22 in the fuel pits. About a mile north of 80th Aeroport where you flew into and out of Danang.

Great memories
