Okay, here's the incident about Davey Allison & the same model Mossberg shotgun mentioned in your ad .... More than 30 years ago (mid to late 1980s), Buckmasters held an annual deer hunt at the Sportsman's Lodge in Alabama. I was fortunate to be invited to three of the Buckmaster Classics. The attendees were a mix of celebrities who were mostly pro sports types, outdoor writers, locals and several Buckmaster contest winners. One of the sports guys who attended every year was noted NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Davey Allison. One year I was teamed up with Davey, Craig Boddington, Jim Varney (Ernest Saves. Christmas, etc.) & two locals for the "olympics" that was held annually. Then the next year, Davey & I bunked together in the same room and became friends and sometimes talked on the phone later. Now fast forward to Nov. 1992 and the PYROIL 500K at Phoenix International Raceway My oldest son's pal, Jimmie, from Durango, CO was in town that week, so I called Davey. He left three comped pit passes at the PIR office for me. We were in the pits just prior to the start of the race when I noticed Davey walking alone in front of the pits on his way for the driver introductions. I asked Keith & Jimmie if they wanted his autograph on their programs. Even thought they were both about 30 then, they were glad to get it. So we headed toward Davey. After we did our preliminary "hellos" and handshakes, he started to sign the programs. In the meantime, he asked me if I heard about our mutual friend Ben Lee dying in car wreck a short time before. He said the wreck happened in the exact same place Lee's daughter had died in a different accident a couple years earlier. As he started telling me a story about a turkey hunt he & Lee had done just prior to his death, a rather large crowd, also wanting autographs, started gathering around us. While he continued signing autographs, he went on with the tale.... Lee had recently bought one of the Mossberg Ultramags and wanted Davey to use it on their hunt, which he did. They were all set up with Lee doing the calling a few yards behind Davey. A gobbler suddenly appeared. Davey shot and only wounded the bird. Lee began yelling for him to shoot again. Davey yelled, "I can't see him! You shoot him." When he shot the first time, he wasn't expecting the shotgun to kick like it did. It drove his right thumb into his nose, breaking it and causing his eyes to water badly. Lee finished off the bird, and they headed to the nearest hospital to get Davey's nose rearranged. At this point in telling us the story, Davey is cracking up, and so are we. The crowd started really jostling us, so we bade goodbye and got away from it. Davey won the race that day; a few months later, he was killed when he crashed his helicopter at Tallladega Speedway. Here's a memory from his crew chief, Larry McReynolds. The bold part is about how he was when telling us the tale while still signing autographs for the crowd. "Davey was the most focused individual I've ever been around and he was focused on whatever he was doing. If we went up in the lounge of the truck and he was eating lunch, I was wasting my time trying to talk to him while he was eating lunch because his focus at that minute was eating that lunch. If he was talking to a friend about a fishing or hunting trip, I was wasting my time standing there until he got done telling his hunting or fishing tale because that's what he was focused on. "Yeah, I used to get so frustrated because it's like, 'Man, we need to talk about our race car. I don't care about deer or fish or what you're eating for lunch, we need to talk.' But, when he turned his attention to our conversation or driving that race car or working on that race car, you couldn't have asked for a more focused individual, just like all the other things that he did. "Davey was a very positive individual and he was a great role model. I think I still today try to live off of his role model because I know when he got killed, the thing that drove me and that whole race team, and it was a small race team then, was the fact of how strong a person Davey Allison was." Now you know the rest of the story..........

dont due polymer for ar15 of any kind unless 22 lr. Ill call you on your cell.

Nice Marlin 44 mag. $850 located south Tempe area

Sold

Did a total of 8 apps yesterday with no issues at all....

Selling a Marlin 22 long rifle model 795. I bought it second hand about 10 years ago and have shot it sporadically throughout the years probably less than 200 shots. Have never cleaned it, and it does fail to load and eject frequently. Definitely needs to be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly. I would imagine after that it would work fine. Just don't have the time to do it myself, building too many other things. Great 4x Burris scope on it. Very clear wide field of view. Comes with a 10 round, and a 7 round magazine. Also 20 some rounds. Pick up in Tucson. Asking $150 OBO. Call 520-260-4273

Mine showed up too.

Best and easiest solution to this problem is that if it don’t feel or seem right don’t do it.

I have 2 boxes. Pm me

I’ve got a box or two of Winchester 125 grain if you get in a bind and need some.

Yup! Heading out early tomorrow morning for two final days running & gunning the washes after Gamble’s. Will spend tomorrow night around a BIG mesquite fire in the middle of a sand wash with old friends. Should be a perfect end to a great season! 👍🏻😉

man, that was a good deal

The first thing I thought of was Pat Mcmanus 2 wheeled ATV, built with this own 3 hands...

If you think what is going on at wall street ain't political then you are right......I deserve my own hijack thread!!!!!

Nice man. I been doing the same trying to get what I really need and trade so I dont hurt so bad

I could be friends with anybody that possesses the level of creativity and sense of humor needed to build a monstrosity like that. I love it, I really do! Hopefully who ever stole it returns it due to the frustration experienced when attempting to source the proper oil filter at autozone. ”year, make, model, sir?” I will keep an eye out while chasing smelly critters on my HAM hunt. If I find it, no reward necessary, maybe just let me drive it once. Best of luck

Wish this was for a 19! free bump for you.

You should have bought ammo last summer

Put in without using portal, no problem worked same as every other time

I think they use Dominion Software. That way they can take your money and throw out your application. Therefore they have a better chance of drawing a tag.

Yes it is.

I've replaced hundreds of rifle barrels over the years. . . exactly once I had one time up an be correct in headspace 😎 that being said its not much of a job for a qualified smith to do.

It was time to resurect this thread from the boneyard. Wife sent me this today..

I can't stand the trigger on the 365. The most spongy trigger I've ever felt. Liked everything else about it.
