but...it's more camo, than tweed these days mates!
You might say, I've gone bunker(gold,food and ammo)and some Glenn Beck tossed in for good measure.
Add to this, a couple of gentlemen's sniper rifles, for the "Woods" and there you have me!
Keepin' the backwoods loafers at bay.
Good to see the old names are stll around!

Welcome, Lowell. Good to see you back.

Wondered where you went, LG. Glad you're tickin over. Might want to take Beck with a couple pounds of salt.

"Gentlemens sniper rifles"? Would these perhaps be Barrett 50s with hand inletted walnut stocks??
Jim

Hello All

My Gentlemen's rifles are a Remington 40-X Repeater in 22-250 with a medium weight factory barrel. Or the Remington tactical repeater in 308 Win with the heavy barrel. But neither is a much fun as my Paragon Grade Baker

Enjoy the day
Mike

Welcome back, Lowell,
Mike

LG,
good to see holding down the fort.You seem to have taken the same road as many of of us in the "hope and change" new world economy we are now in.
RRA M4 and lots of 223(45 auto,40 S&W...) and more then some gold along with "the usual suspects" here as well.

Hang in there,better days are coming.

Yes welcome back! A crispy 9F here this morning and I'm huggin me Greener.

Lowell, don't tell me a rifle has replaced a double in your place of honor behind the kitchen door???

Glenn Beck! That reminds me of the day I went hunting with a guy that kept the truck radio tuned to Limbaugh. He only turned it off after I convinced him I really was going to give that radio a load of high brass.

Lowell had a model 37 behind the kitchen door.

Nothing anounces one's presence and intentions like the looks and noise of a mil-spec .223 semi-automatic. With the cheap scope retuned to center up the sub-sonic .22 Calibré rimfire loads, Lowell's Kimber will quietly keep the riff-raff at bay.

Two legged or otherwise.

Salude, Ole Sod.

Best,
Ted

Here's my own personal choice for keeping the enemy at bay but then; I've always been a bit of a traditionalist! 50 rounds of 45ACP headed in your direction will put the fear of God in almost anyone.
Jim

Welcome back, Thornly. Were you gone?

That Tommy just screams for some exhibition grade claro with a high gloss slacum oil finish!

Glad to see you haven't checked out of the net Laird Glenthorne. I thought about you when I was driving along the Missouri river a few months ago.

Lord Glenthorne

Show us some pics of the gentleman sniper rifle...like you used to show your prized Beesley







Propping up a pine tree.

Struggling to keep pace with the humour.Glenn Beck? Limbaugh?
Glad your well Lowell or should it be lower case l?
You guys have a little more rights in home protection than we do here in the UK but perhaps this tale about my brother will appeal to you?
He used to live in a cottage about a mile off the main road, nice place, meadows, woods, trout stream, get the picture?
One day two Irish Travellers, (diddycoys,showmen, tinkers, gypsies, what ever you want to call them)wondered down his track which clearly states No Through Road Private Property.
"Can I help you chaps?" asks Bro. "No sir just looking" says they.
" Well go and look somewhere else" says Bro.
Cue a torrent of Irish foul mouthed abuse and a departure.
My brother doesn't like being sweared at by anyone.
After taking his German Shepard and Rhodesian Ridgeback and .308 for a walk across the fields ( shortcut), he seemed in a better mood.
Later that day when he took is good lady into town for the weekly shop she happened to mention the Mitsubishi Pickup with the four flat tyres parked in the laybye at the top of their lane.
" That's bad luck getting four puntures" she offered.
"Mmm sure was" says he.

One more thing Lowell...........if you're looking to flip that Beesley give me a heads up. Didn't you get that gun from good ol' Bob Francis at WRA?

[quote=Bob Blair]That Tommy just screams for some exhibition grade claro with a high gloss slacum oil finish!

The Tommy is all original GI 28A1 parts on a Philadelphia Ordnance 80% receiver. To keep it legal it has neither bark nor bite. However it does make for an impressive display. My gun club has operable ones available so I've never had any great incentive to purchase a live one myself.
Jim

Tires, you would not believe what a .338 slug will do to the engine block of a 4 wheeler!
Welcome back LG

Craig

A camo clad hole puncher??....me thinks your slipping Lowell.....

Did you mean "sipping".....

Bob, the Beesley has been my only constant no matter how many times I try to reinvent myself.
j0e, the bunker in me won't allow pics - sorry!

Im not sure if this is a thread on standing guard or just about other types of fun shooting. But in either case, I recommend the Rock River AR. It is so much rifle for the money it just waylaid sales of other hp rifles a few years ago.(Its guaranteed 1 min. out of the box-3/4 min. in the NM version!) Its the most fun you can have with yer pants on and runs about $750. at Perry. And if vigilance is your concern the AR is tough to beat and has its own "Stop them in their tracks" sound when cycled! Of course I dont mean to say its the blood curdling sound of the cold blued steel of my Model 12 racking one in. That's a sound that can stop a gunfight before it gets started.

Releasing the bolt on a A-5 is no BS sound as well.

Lowell:

Good to see you. The idea of you in camo breeks, though, is a bit off-puting- I hope they are appropriately tailored, at least.

I was using an HK 91 for the tasks you describe, but am getting a Rock River LAR-8. Its a lot more accurate and FN mags are available everywhere. You might take a look at one.

Good luck

Regards

GKT

See my boys at 417 guns in Springfield for all your SHTF and bunker defense firearms needs LG. Talk to my HS classmate Marshall and he'll hook you up. He's retired and basically does whatever the shop owner, his son, tells him to do there.

Lowell,

Sounds a bit dismal. Like waiting for impending disaster.
I've had all the items you've listed for years (with the exception of the gold :))The McMillan Sniper is still one of my most accurate rifles.1911's,Garands and twice barrels work too. As for me? Tally Ho!! Hunt,fish,shoot,dirt bike and drag race all I can. Life is for the living not hiding in a bunker.
I don't need Beck or anyone else to tell me what's happening in the world. I've got eyes.

Absence makes the heart grow fond..Old Bean
Was wondering where you were, mate.
Glad to see you're still kickin'
