Show us your Guns!
Agreed P51, I think were folks got their bad impressions is the later years of the imports and then the rifles werent being checked and QCed as teh early ones. People stood back the first few years to see what came back, and after the first couple of years you couldnt get one unless you were...- Buggnkat

Show us your Guns!
I agree with Sarge, that is a nice stock and looks very nice. I too like that striping near the pistol grip. Garands have been a favorite of mine and I own one myself. Mine is a Blue Sky import back in 89-90. I paid 325 for her. I just replaced my op-rod this past year. She has taken...- Buggnkat

Hawaiian shirts and fedoras
Eric, very nice combo! I started wearing hawaiian shirts 12 years ago, and have more than my fair share in the closet. Once you go 'Waiian, you wont want to wear anything else! -

9mm or 45cal
Oh man I hope wife doesnt read the forum! :D Cant say too much on that I belong to that club too. Doesnt do a bad job though I have to admit. We used to soak our M16s in the parts cleaner vats, right up to the point the bluing started coming off, then we caught hell. Have to admit we had...- Buggnkat

Cowboy Boots with Business Suit?
I dont know, I think with a boot cut pant leg, those would be fine. If they are tailored correctly, you wouldnt notice the heel that much. Pilots are infamous for non-regulation footwear. I knew several Attack Pilots that wore black ropers with their flight suits. No one ever said a word...- Buggnkat

I do like the shirts you have Scotty, they are great vintage patterns and look sharp. -

Cowboy Boots with Business Suit?
I dont think so. I am seeing more and more cowboy boots with suits these days. I cant do it anymore, because of knee issues and cowboy boots tend to aggrevate the problem. I do wear them for short periods, but I spend too much time on my feet and my knees rebel and cause me a lot of...- Buggnkat

Last Flight of the F-11A
You are correct Sir! He is a very irritable and formidable foe. Usually not very friendly and certain family members are known to give pursuit even when you decide not to disturb him.- Buggnkat

Brim Width and Head Size
Thats the great thing about hats, they reflect the personality of the owner. It is very seldom that two hats will look identical because of the wearers taste. -
What is your favorite aircraft of all time?
Yeah I know, but the fellow that bought was from CS. I always wondered what happened to that plane. It had been kept in a machine shed till the farmer passed. He was going to use it as a crop duster. The wings and fuselage were stored next to a 14T JD bailer both had an old tarp thrown over... -
Saving Energy: A Vintage Concept?
We have went to CFs and I tend to agree with the above, they (cheap ones) do tend to burn up quickly if used alot. The LEDs are my unit of choice and have convinced our O&M contractor to give them a whirl. These (LEDs) do last longer and we have yet to have to replace one in 9 months. Our...- Buggnkat

Saving Energy: A Vintage Concept?
A suggestion on lights (being a commercial property manager helps) would be compact flourescents or LEDs. LEDs are expensive on the purchase price, but over the long haul and given they last 10xs longer than the incandescent brothers they are very energy efficient. Course the heart attack you...- Buggnkat

What is your favorite aircraft of all time?
I remember that! It wasnt but 10 miles from my house in STL. I always wondered if they got it flyable again! There was also a P39 that was found in a barn south of STL. A fellow in Colorado Springs bought it at the auction when the owner passed away. Wonder if it is flying? Oh you think... -
Brim Width and Head Size
Joe I like the straw in the pic, it really works for you. 3 inch might still work on a fedora with your shoulders and not look too small. One thing to keep in mind is the Cowboy hats need the bigger brims because of the tall crowns, but that balances the hat and makes things symetrical. A 3... -
Brim Width and Head Size
Yeah they do convey a different attitude and lifestyle when compared to the fedora. I am seeing a rebirth of the cowboy hat in cities again. Even in NOLA I see a few moving about downtown. Even in my office building there are at least 3. -

I dont know about that, given that the gangster flicks (which have some AWESOME hats and clothes) were pretty popular then. Possible but not probable- Buggnkat
