On the commute to verk this morning, it suddenly hit me:
My birthday is in a few weeks, and I haven't thought of my present to me!
A few years back, I signed for my land on my birthday.
Then one year I went to Virginia Arms and picked up my '97, '94 and first Ruger for my birthday.
But here I am, with nothing planned.
WhatamIgonnado?
I should get a generator, for times when I don't have power.
I should get a new car, or have all the gaskets replaced in mine before I have an oil spill worse than Exxon's.
But this will be for my
birthday. Birthdays aren't about what you
need, they are about what you
WANT.
And what I
WANT is this:

In what? .44 Mag or .50 Action Express?
Recoil's about the same but the punch on the receiving end is a whole different animal! ;D
.50 AE, of course!
See the gerlish smile? See the dimple?
:D

Hey girl..
We got one of them in 50, for cheap.. black.
Adios,

Ok....lemme reword it.
I fail to understand the fascination with those high powered hand cannons for just target shooting. If for personal defense they are ok. For hunting...same thing. But to use those heavy calibered hand guns for target shooting I fail to understand.
It's a warthog thing..
*&&*%&##$@#^^
Aye, it's a WartHog thing.
I don't recall saying I wanted a DE AE.50 for target shooting. ALL of my non-CAS firearms are made to be used for personal defense and/or hunting, and my CAS firearms would also serve the purpose, if need be. 8)
Cammie, is that the Snake Slayer? It's a pretty little thing, isn't it? :D
So I was up in the Cosie's Corner, reading recipes, when one of Gopher Grease's comments reminded me that I still do not have an operational oven.
Dagnabbit, I don't want an oven for my birthday.

It always amazis me that someone wants to throw a wet blanket on someones fun. As long as ya don't force AK to fire it or shoot it at him, he be whinin' fer nuthin', but he's got toys we wouldn't like. Myself I am resticed by my body and doctors orders as to what I shoot in my hand. But my shoulder is fine. <Lusts after a 577 NE Double rifle and yes it's practical, what if I get up some morning and an eller-funk is eatin' my roses. ;D>
Dang, Del, I didn't know they had elefunks in Nebrasky! Unless some of those big Corn Husker linemen qualify as elefunks!........Buck 8) ::) :o ;) ;D

That DE .50AE is mighty appealing, Miz Annie - I like the one with the tiger stripes, meself; definitely a two handed affair, IMO. I shot a .44Mag one once, and decided that two hands were far better than one.
Say, 'Rap, logic, or sensibility ain't got nothing to do with this. It's the grin that you can't get rid of, and the numb sting in your hand after you touch that big thing off - that's what it's all about.
Slim, that .45-70 is a hoot. Talk about a grin!!!!!!! As Tim the Tool Man Taylor would say: ArrrARRRArrarrArrrr!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
El Peludo, are you talking about one of these?

Got no love for the Desert Eagle. Me thinks it's one ugly gun.
But if you really want to have one, go ahead knock yourself out. ;D
Desert Eagle's are nice, but boy have they gotten pricey since they came on the market. Although a Desert Eagle in .357 Magnum like the original model would be perfect.
And I've always wanted to own one of the Nitro Express doubles...there's just something about them...
The .50AE by Smith is indeed impressive, but ...the Smith .44 Mag is still the benchmark for power and beauty, IMHO (and I still don't have one of those either :( ).
But, what's the one gun I really covet? The one firearm I wish I had sitting in the vault? ....You know what I decided it would be?
The Bren Ten.
Good point, Jiminy, we all have firearms we "crave."
What I'd really like is an operational Gatling gun. In my yard.
That's not going to happen, though. Dern it.
As far as my birthday present, I may be able to repair the oven. If so, and the replacement parts aren't too expensive, the DE AE50 is still a possibility.

1873 model in .45-70 with the wooden field carriage and a limber. Don't want the shield or the spindly-looking metal carriage.

Yep Fort Abe Lincoln, one of dem that Custer said no to. Not a 45-70 1873 model but a damned 1865-66 model in 58 rimfire, a nasty jamming pain in the arse piece of equipment. Custer made a few mistakes, but leavin' them pieces of junk behind was not one of them. ::) ;D
And Buck we have the largest elafunk ever found in the world at Morril Hall, often called eler-funk hall. They are supposed to be gone a few thousand years, but what if there are still some up on the Dismal? ;D ;D ;D
They ain't had to shoot one of them fellars for several years. ;D Did you know the N on their Hel-muts and on the stadium stands fer Nowledge? ;D ;D ::)
Well wish me luck I'm 'bout ready to shower and get ready for a couple hous of verk. :) :) Going to do a full day on Sat.
Del, they found one of those elefunks here in Canton back in the '70's. Found when digging a foundation for an apartment building my uncle was in charge of. Have some pics someplace that I got to take before the academic types got there. It's on display at the McKinley Presidential Library/Museum up in town now. Believe it was a mammouth..........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
It's been said by Navajo and Papago of my acquaintance that "our fathers', fathers', fathers hunted the long noses on the prairies and in the land of the stinking water."
Could be they're more recent than we believe.
Now, I've seen the elephant, but that's a whole nuther story.
:o :o :o
A question, Forty. Did the elephant see you?.........Buck 8) ::) :o ;) ;D
Dunno.

Del I was to the understanding that 44-40 model was the one that jammed and the the improved model was a 30 cal
Annie one of these may cost less than the Gatlin
The US Army boght 58 rimfires right after the Civil War. Te ones used in the war were the ones that used the reloadable steel case that use a percusion cap, minnie ball and 60 gr powder. Same as you loaded the 61/63 Springfield with. These were private purchase by some units. A real pain. Both the 58's used the drum which was part of the trouble.
They US Army did not buy any of the 45-70's till I belive around 77-78 after they decided the Army needed better weapons.
The 30-40's came in after 1892 and were not scrapped till about 1915, both the 45-70 and the 30-40 used a two column stick magazine. The are the two demoed on Mail Call on the history channel.
They were made on order for any cartride of the time if you wanted, some worked better than the others. The 44-40 was a little short thing called the bulldog. The ad for it often showed a sketch of on mounted on the front of a camel saddle, complete with camel underneith. Nope not me, I ain't gonna get up there and crank it unless it all goes into the back of that creatures head. ;D
I have seen and original steel case one fire. When it wasn't jamed it was awsome, when it was I could have picked off the crew one by one with a muzzle loader, no problem.
Miss Annie, as I am unerringly bad with money decisions my suggestion is perhaps not the "right" one to heed... I suggest to get the gun! ;D ;D ;D

Hmmmm!.
Tigerstripe shootin' irons, gold lame holsters, a pink feathered gun belt.
Look closely and you'll be able to see a mind being boggled.
So, Miz Lee when is your b/d and does that make you a Libra?
I are one, (a Libra.) Sept 27. My ex wife would read the discriptions in the magazine, then would roll it up and wack me with it. I can't help it if it was discribing me to a "T"
For my birthday I want to go smaller. Only want an EMF Stallien 38. Birds head grip and 3.5" barrel. They have been outta stock. I even have my leather guy in Kentucky waiting for the goahead to make a cool crossdraw high ride holster for it...
anyways hope you get what you want and waant what you get...

Maybe it is a September thing, Curley, for I'm not a Libra, I'm a Virgo! (September 12)
Shame on me, I am not familiar with .50 BMG rifles, though one might possibly interest me. Need to spend more time with my 270 first, though.
But keep this up and I'll go to Jo-Ann fabric for gold lame tigerstripe material for a circle skirt!
(I'd do it, too.)

I shot one of Ed Horchcamp's rifles once, his perrsonal one. He never had shot a Sharps so we swapped for a bit. 50 BMG case necked to 375, 250 gr Barnes X Bullet at 4200 fps. Like buck 6mm Remmy on steriods. ;D
The oven can wait.
< Whispers> I'm looking at and working on my budget for September. I need to get the roof on the shed, then Mason Dixon Stampede is at the end of the month. I've had to fade back and punt on my clothing for MDS as everything I had set up pretty much has fallen apart (in some ways, literally!). Hmmm... can I swing the price of that sweet, monstrous DE AE.50? < Scribbling and pondering >
then the Tiger striped material could be used for a set of bat wing chaps....Now that's style ;D ;D ;D
Litl' Rooster, they didn't have gold lame` tiger striped fabric at the store tonight, but did have gold lame`, stencil blanks, and black paint.
Don't mess with me, I'll DO IT, I'll make a skirt!

http://www.gatlingguns.com (http://www.gatlingguns.com)
Their site has assembly photos, kit information, FAQ. Assembly photos are handy views. Kit requires 2 Ruger 10/22s.
Make it out of a pair of M1's maybe. ;D 22 Rf is so tiny. ;D Athough I have shot a M16 with 22 LR adaptor kit in it. Yes it had all the proper paper work. ;D

Well, I shot the G-3 (military version of the HK G-91) both in .308 and with the .22lr reduction tube, both were fun to shoot, only at different distances. ;D
Automatic anything is fun, but I loved my M-1 Tommy gun. Ma deuce is s very close second, but is too big to be portable and costs a ton to shoot.
Now if I could have one co-axed to a .30 Browning on a M-706 light armored assualt vehocle (similar to Cadillac Gage V-100 "Commando".), send it to Winnebago for a converrsion into an air-droppable, 70 mph, amphibious, all-terrain, armorred, armed, and awsome RV forr under $10,000 I'd go for it.

You're right, I had lots of fun shooting a 1928 (alas no drum magazine), we had an M-1, but it was beyond recovery.
Three weeks ago, my son and I were in the car, heading someplace or another and he told me of his dream to convert a "short bus" in much the way Forty Fonzai just mentioned.
I was fine with it, until I saw what Forty just wrote. Now I'm scared. My son thinks like Forty Fonzai!
