Duck Pond Redneckery

Well I'll trust your eyes looking directly at something I can only see in a cell phone picture.
But in the cell phone picture that looks like stainless steel.

Well I noticed that the day I bought the gun... and just looked em up the other day to see what any ads mighta said. They're definitely advertising that as a chrome lined barrel

I used bore scopes on my ARs and aside from the rifling it does kinda look the same

I sent that pic to my dad. He doesn't know jack squat about guns but he replied;

"Chrome is hard. It's in there because it stands up to wear better than steel.

They make chrome cylinder liners for high end small engines."

Yup

Standard thing on an AR-15, cuz most folks want mil spec. With a chrome lined barrel youll lose a little accuracy but it'll take a heluva lot longer to wear the barrel out. They're more suited to full auto guns actually

I just aint never seen one on a shotty til this one. Pretty solid blaster for a Turk build. Might take It out for a little backyard trap tomorrow if I dont get too drunk tonight

Drunk with a shotgun...

That's how I discovered what happens when you put a full camping size disposable propane bottle in a campfire and shoot it with a deer slug.

It was my idea, but the guy who actually took the shot was an active duty marine home on leave from Iraqistan. But he was even drunker than I was.

A "hold my whiskey jar" moment...

Pretty good shot if he hit it for a drunk guy.

Militaries may want to reconsider their alcohol policies.

Oh That's why they call them Jar Heads.
Whisky jar heads

You can do better than a Maverick for the money. Id rather have my Winnie. 5 shell tube but its got a nice fat pad on the stock

You huntin or just talkin home defense?

home defense only. i was told (and i think i mentioned it here in another thread) that if there is a shooting, the cops take the gun. then they engrave the case number/report numbers into the gun's metal. many times it is so mucked up you do not want it back, so you go cheaper, but still dependable

Are you like 70 years old or something?

The barn is built of "post and beam" construction, like old school Amish stuff.

Except the rear 15 feet is done with studs like a somewhat modern house. So they basically stretched it by 15 feet.

The lean-to on the east side is also post & beam type framing and its structure also switches to 2x6 studs for the southern 15 feet.

The studs are 1-3/4 x 5-1/2 and some kind of hardwood.

They didn't rot... They eroded like stone. Dig into the rotted edges with a screwdriver and it's intact wood just below the surface.

I got tree sap on my circular saw blade when I trimmed off the rotted ends of the three 2x6s they used for the corner post.

Surprisingly the roof line isn't sagging there where that corner post was completely unattached at the bottom. There was a 3 ft wide doorway on the south wall with a rotted header that wasn't holding any weight. And the next stud to the north on the west wall is also rotted off at the bottom. I have no idea what was holding up that corner.


But I cut the replacement bottoms 1/8" too tall on purpose and I had a bitch of a time getting the first one in. I had to use a jack post on the floor joist next to it just to lift it 1/8".

WTF is wrong with people??

Basements

From lighting to decorating and remodeling, get inspired with these basement pictures and videos.

Seriously? You have new wood and you want to make it look shitty?

Then there's this:



I've been reusing this stuff. But the stuff that was too shitty to even make 1x4s out of went on the burn pile.

Can't do much on the barn til Menards gets my steel so I replaced some missing pieces on the corn crib. This little access hole in the middle was missing and the floor boards in there are rotting so I scrapped a new door together with old siding planks from the other barn, cut down to size on the table saw. That's new wood in primer at the bottom but the center thing is old wood from the other barn.



Then I said fuck it. Took it in the shop, cleaned it up with a nylon "wire" wheel and painted it.



Because fuck that old weathered look. It only looks like that because nobody has painted it in 30 years. That look is for dumbass city slickers who watched two episodes of Hee-Haw and decided to move out to the country thinking they're going to sit around in overalls eating peaches all day and raise chickens and goats.. (as pets because they're vegan).

I see you got one of those old hand cranked well pump

It's real but it doesn't work. I don't really understand it. It pumps out of an underground concrete dungeon full of rusty pipes. I think you're supposed to fill that concrete dungeon with water from another source. Maybe rain barrels or whatever. That concrete dungeon is only about 7 feet deep. I climbed down into it once. It's full of spiders.
