What A Freakin Giant ! Beautiful Work !

Check the " Sight Adjusting And Scope Mounting " section of the manual . It says they are tapped for scope mounts . https://cva.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Optima-Wolf-Manual-Form107ARev12-10MAPFOLD.pdf

Holy Gunsmoke Nomad ! Both those lists are Jaw Dropping ! That guy Angulo in the Lyell Ave Arrest with all those Felony Arrests warrants issued on him for 5 different robberies since January of this year alone , I think that gives him the qualifications for running for Mayor Of Rochester ! Freakin insane that this scumbag was even walking the streets . Instead they will probably give him a participation trophy as an honorary citizen !

If all you Blackstone cooks sent a copy of this thread to your Cardiologist, either one of two things will happen 1 ) He will either buy one for himself or 2) He will have a heart attack looking at all the " healthy foods" you are consuming

In Canada according to Trudolf Hitler if you say you want to buy a gun for self protection you are instantly denied . What a freakin retard . So even if you have a gun in the house , you dont have the right to use it to protect yourself from an armed intruder . Thank God for the 2nd Amendment !

Wow ! They produce it right here in Tamworth NH ! The NH Liquor Store Outlet about 10 min from me has 21 bottles in stock . There is only 147 bottles in stock in all the state stores . I found their direct link to order it direct from their distillery . I only found one place that sells it in NYC for 100 bucks a bottle . Its 65 dollars at the NH State Outlet here and the same price ordering it direct . They do have NY on their address list so they more than likely will ship it to you directly .

Happy Birthday Moog !

Happy Birthday !

Happy Birthday Fletch !

Rob , I'm exhausted just reading your list , never mind actually doing it all ! LOL

I agree with you Nomad . Besides the shiny bells and whistles ,the specs make it sound like a 1.2 million dollar piece of worthless junk. I would be willing to bet that once that water pump is activated at full power , that charge wont last for 20 min. The 2 hour charge is based on driving it . Once that 750 GPM pump is deployed , its going to drain that charge faster than pounding down a shot of Jack Daniels. Probably going to have to have the diesel fired generator truck follow it around to charge it up when it loses power!

Im not sure how it is in NY , but I would think it would be the same or more restrictive there than it is here in NH for muzzle loaders . Most muzzle loaders do not need to go through an FFL . But if your muzzle loader has the option of switching barrels to a center fire cartridge , then the transfer has to go through an FFL. For example , my Thompson Center Encore Magnum .Mine is a 50 cal that uses 209 primers . But I can buy center fire rifle or shotgun rifled barrels for it for it and change it . My gun has to go through an FFL . But if a muzzle loader is only that and does not have options for interchangeable barrels , then it does not need to go through an FFL .

What a deal ! But it all worked to your advantage because you are a talented guy doing it yourself. As the saying goes " It Just Dont Get Any Better Than That "

Super Nice Job G-Man ! So whats the total end tally of how much you have into it between purchase and restoration ? I bet its worth 15K because of the very low miles . That truck is going to last you for many years .

Good luck tomorrow R4L. But dont worry . Hip replacements are not uncommon now . With the new procedures and technology in materials you will feel better than ever after recovery. A friend of mine had a hip replacement done a couple years ago when he was 39 . His injury was from playing soccer in high school and never knew it . Talked to him a month ago and tells me he feels better than he has in 20 years . Wished he knew what was happening sooner and got it done . Good Luck !

Oh you will . Dont fight it. Just order the inevitable .. I ordered one but not for me . Sending one to California to my son . Him , his fiancee , and my daughter are always going camping out at music festivals out there . Right now they are using a Coleman stove with pans . Sent him a pic of the portable one that TF bought and asked him if he wanted one . Well YEAAAAH ! LOL

Chef , The_Real_TCIII , Crappie, and TF . You guys should all get together and start your own breakfast place or a Chinese restaurant . For equipment you can start with BYOB. ( Bring your own Blackstone ) Im sure Biz would jump in and be your financial advisor on this venture .

The link works for me . You have to look up the name by the 1st letter of your last name , You dont see the line with the letter links ? Ok glad you got it . But did you get drawn for the tag ! Checked all the guys I hunt with. We got NUTTIN as usual .

A terrific buck and outstanding work as always ! You really do bring them back to life WNY B !

Im surprised nobody has brought up the old classic top water bass magnet . The Jitterbug . The bass and pickerel just explode on it. Great luck fishing with them at dusk and early morning and night . Even on a sunny day they were deadly . https://www.amazon.com/Arbogast-Jitterbug-Topwater-Bass-Fishing/dp/B08BH7KDWF

Those old guns now have a new life ! Very nice work LMG ! They came out great !

Happy Birthday !

Congrats on that HUGE Striper Chef . One helluva fish ! The 1st pic is the Tiger Trout Crappie caught . The 2nd pic is a Hybrid Tiger Trout that they stock in West Virginia . I read the article I got the WV trout from . Interesting of what they have to do to produce this type of trout . They have to put the eggs under pressure in order to produce a 3rd chromosome or the fingerlings mostly all die off . I dont believe that hybrid fish can reproduce . Just like Hybrid Tiger Muskies cant. Also read a newer article from WV DNR that shows the newest batch of Tiger Trout and they all look the same as the trout Biz posted . Crappies Trout WV Stocked Tiger Trout

Sorry to hear that Greg. My deepest condolences . He is now in a better place . Peace

WOW ! Forget about " Keeping Up With The Jones's " This place has turned into " Keeping Up With The Blackstones " LOL But I'm with Lawdwaz Cory And Biz . You are never going to convince me that Rib Eye , Porterhouse , Sirloin or Steak Tips , or even veggies taste better on a griddle . Im Weber Grill all the way on that one . But I do have to admit , cooking 10-12 pancakes or eggs at a time , bacon and home fries , and even recipes like TF's Shrimp and Rice look amazing .
