Want to see them shut down?

This is how it’s done.

No, you or I will probably not be able to pull this off. but Penn Jillette can, and did. Read the whole thing. If you’re of the inclination to follow suit, do so. Bear in mind it will probably cost you some time in slam, possibly your job, and a bunch of aggrivation by law enforcement. But if you want to “fight back”, do this.

me, I’m incapable of humiliation or embarrassment, anything those TSA fucks do to me is gonna harm them more psychologically than it can ever do to me.

hat tip to mr B

When someone puts their hand on the package of Og

that they get this odd expression on their face.

No, it hasn’t happened for years, but I used to really look forward to that moment, when a woman slid her hand south and got a handful (or three) she didn’t expect. The open mouth, the wide eyes. the questions- ‘Do you have a hernia? Is there a marmoset in your pocket? why isn’t your voice deeper? ‘

South Park notwithstanding, women do not seem to like large balls. So, every one who has experienced them up close and personal has worked (or so they claim) very hard to purge the memory from their system. Some use alcohol, some have contemplated lobotomies.

One way or another, I suspect it’s a good thing. Having hundreds of TSA goons sitting alone at night in their rooms, lights off, drinking that sensation out of their heads, can only be good. Maybe eventually they’ll all go barking mad and we’ll go back to “Normal” airport security, where grannies and six year old cubscouts with dull pocketknives are left alone, and muslims get stripsearched and sedated for the duration of the flight.

An Arisaka 99 which has been sporterized.

No, not sporterized in the usual “bubba” way, sporterized by a professional. The stock is a Herters, (I originally thought it was a Fajen, but I found the Herter’s stamp on the buttplate) and it’s actually very lovely, it’s shape reminiscent of the early Rigby style stocks.

It has had a couple of issues since I first acquired it; it first had a broken bolt. I took it to Harry mcGowan and had him remedy that, he did (or, I should say, his sons) a remarkable job. The bolt is as smooth as silk and the handle is wonderful

I shot it a few times and let it sit in the cabinet, the front sight ramp loosened easily under firing, and the rear sight, a cheapass Lyman type, was cheezy and nasty looking.

Tonight I cleaned up the barrel where the front sight ramp sits, and the ramp itself, tinned them, and silver soldered them together. It’s a workmanlike job, and looks fine. next, I’m gonna put a three-leaf folding ‘Express” sight on it, from Jeff’s Outfitters.

Speaking of which, while you’re over at Jeffs , have a look around. The kind of stuff they have makes me drool involuntarily, and I’m looking hard at one of the nice canvas/leather cases for the Sabatti. They have a bucketload of very nice stuff.

Anyway, when this “Project” is done, i’ll have a fine, nice looking 30-06 bolt action that is durable and unlike most Mausers requires no tools to be broken down- the bolt can be disassembled with your hands, the magazine floorplate can be opened with your finger. I will never sell this rifle, it came halfway around the world with it’s chrysanthemum intact. I will not hand it off to someone who will drill a scope hole through it.

yes, 30-06. The US chambered a bunch of these for 30-06 to arm Korean troops. This may have been one of those; I know the rifling is perfect, and if I load it for 303-06, it shoots like blazes. You can’t resize the cases easily for 30-06, but I just neck resize them and they work fine.
