looks like you did pretty well to me. Nothing a little TLC won't take care of.
I found this 1893 Spanish Mauser in a shop yesterday, looking a little out of place surrounded by high-end Western guns. All matching (bolt, safety, floorplate, triggerguard etc. )The wood is dry and dinged-up, but shows no other signs of abuse. At $150 + tax ,I couldn't pass it up. Any chance this one saw action in the Span. American war? Oh, it's dated 1896.

Given the worn look on it, it is more probable that it is a Spanish Civil War veteran, imported by Interarms in the 1960s (I have several of these, of the 1894-99 poeriod) and they all have similar wear.
The Majority of the Cuban Span-Am War Mausers were actually M91 type Mausers in 7,65, as well as a quantity of 7x57 M93s; Most were "sportered" by Bannermann in the early 1900s, as he bought almost 95% of the captured Spanish Milsurp from Springfield Armory after the War, and the ammo (both calibres) as well.

Hi Doc,
The 7.65 mm M1891 was never a standard issue rifle in the Spanish military.
The Spanish Army purchased only 1,200 M1891 rifles solely as a trials rifle, and only 600 were sent to the Colonies for test. These were issued to the Battalon de Cazadores de Puerto Rico No. 19 (Light Infantry Battalion No. 19 on Puerto Rico). The rifle was a total failure due to the well-known poor extraction, poor ejection, and double loading issues that plagued pre-1893 Mausers. On the other hand, the Model 1893 was purchased in large numbers by Spain in the 1894-1898 time frame from Loewe and later DWM. Don Jose Boado y Castro, the Commander at Oviedo at that time, stated that the total was over 220,000. Un-altered all-matching examples, even though stock and receiver crests were originally light impressed, still abound in the northeast USA.
The Interarms imports that you mentioned are not in a class or condition of the rifle posted by Husk. While there were many Belgian and German made M1893's that no doubt came in from Spain in the 1958-62 era, The likelhood of a 93 surviving unchanged through the Riff and Spanish Civil Wars, and post SCW rebuilt programs is extraordinalily unlikley. Indeed, those M1893's which can be identified as Belgian or German that came from Spain have usually been restocked and, most significantly, all have had their filmsy, double-catch German rear sight slides replaced by the more substantial Ovideo slide. Most imporant, every example of this type of rifle has been mismatched.
Regarding Bannerman's sporterizing these rifles, Bannerman's sold these rifles unaltered as Spanish American War souvenirs, and had them in stock well into the 1930's...still in their original military condition. I have looked through lots of Bannerman's catalogs, but have never seen an ad for a sporterized Spanish M1893. Indeed, a friend of mine told me recently of his purchase on a 93's at Bannermans in the mid-1930's when he was 14 years old. He picked it our of a barrel of un-altered Spanish Mausers and took it home and then sporterized it himself. While I have seen more than a few sportrerized German-made Spanish 93's, all have been very different in wokmanship, and showed none of the standard design or fit and finish that Bannerman's displayed in their Krag or Remington M1891 Moison Nagant sporters.
Can you post photos of your Spanish Mausers?

Spain adopted the Mauser in 7 mm in 1892 (with protuding magazine). Only carbines of this 1892 model were made as it was modified in 1893 to the clasical 1893 model. During the trials, 1,840 rifles in 7.65 mm cal. were purchased as said John Wall ... but in 1893 Spain suffered severall agressions from our Moroccans neighbours (Spain have two cities in north Africa), so the government send troops and purchassed 10,000 rifles and 5,000 carbine of 7,65 mm Argentinean Mauser model. Many were send to Cuba when 1895 rebellion aroused, though they were a small part of the more than 130,000 Mausers sent between 1895 and 1898.
Hello carvil,
Welcome to the Mauser Forum! It is a pleasure to see someone from Spain participating in this discussion.
Regarding the Argentine Mausers, I agree that only a small number of these ex-Argentine Melilla rifles were purchased. Only a small number of these M1891 rifles and carbines were captured in Cuba and sold in the Springflield Armory auction at the war's end. The figure of 1,840 trials rifles is one of two figures that have gotten into English language arms literature, the other being 1,200. In any case, the number is very small, and the results of the Spanish rifle trial seem to be the same as the US Army Rifle Trials of 1892. In the US Army case, a similar rifle from Belgium, the Model 1889, was tested with unhappy results. Fortunately, one of the three Model 1892 test rifles performed better, but not as good as the Krag Jorgensen.
Best Regards,

Hi Husk
I also have one but my crest is lighter than yours and I cannot read date.
What is your ser # mine is c48xx.
This one has a R on left side of butt does anyone know what this stands for?
"R" probably stands for rebuild
buy it! or tell me how to!
John, I hate to dispute you, but I have a 1903 Bannermans catalog that advertises "Sportered" Spanish M91 (7.65) and M93 (7mm) for the stiff price of $12.95. The stocks and barrels have been shortened and the bolt handle bent for sporting use.
St. G..
No problem with disputes! Your point is well taken and correct.
This morning I was going through my on-line files and found a .jpg of a Bannerman's advertising postcard dated February, 1904. Among other things, the card offers sporterized Spanish 93's for $12.95 apiece! I can only conclude that for a few months in the 1903-04 period, Bannerman's was indeed selling sporterized Spanish 93's. How ever, I still very much doubt that Bannerman's "sportered most" of the Spanish Mausers.
Note that the postacard is addressed to the head of the Argentine arms buying commission in Europe and features an Argentine Mauser (M1891). About 2,000 of the 18,000 rifles captured in Cuba et al were M1891's. I think Bannerman's figured that Argentina would be the best market for Argentine Mausers!
What does the catalog say about the sporterized rifles? How long is the barrel? The only German-made Spanish mauser rifles I've seen which appear to be old sporterized jobs are three Ludwig Loewe-made ex-Spanish cavalry carbines.

Sorry it took so long to reply to this thread, but I had a problem finding my 1903 Bannerman catalog. You see, the wife and I are packing to move. Even though the move is over a year away, she has started packing up our stuff, and I bet you could figure out whose stuff got packed first! Anyway, in the 1903 Bannerman catalog, on the bottom of page 7, it states, "We have selected a number of the captured Spanish Mausers and converted them to Sporting Model Mausers by cutting off part of the wood foreend (sic), cutting handgrooves (sic) in the stock, polishing the woodwork, polishing and blueing (sic) the barrel, thus making this gun look like new, same as the $35.00 Mauser (there is no other reference to this $35.00 Mauser) and for which we charge only $12.95 and include gratis with each Mauser Rifle a box of 15 loaded ball cartridges." Next to the text, there is a picture of a nicely sporterized 7mm Mauser Rifle with the bolt open and a stripper clip of five cartridges set in the stripper clip guide ready to load. I assume they left the barrel at the original 29" length. It must be noted that Bannermans was selling both the 1891 7.65mm Spanish Mausers as well as the 1893 7mm Spanish Mausers, but only the 1893's were listed as being sporterized.

I followed the book "Tres Siglos de Armamento Portátil en España" by the Spanish Army colonel Bernat Barceló Rubà (privately published by the author in 2002). But looking for more information, the correct numbers are: 1,000 rifles and 400 cavalry carbines for the Army and 640 rifles for the Navy, all of turkish model in 7,65 mm. These were employed in the trials that conducted to adoption of 1892/3 model.
About the remaining 15,000 bought in 1,893, a small introduction. In this age Morocco was an independent country (French and Spanish colonization didnât began untill 1909), that was separated from Spain by the Gibraltar Strait (see map bellow). Spain had from the XV century (and still has) two cities in the north of Africa, Ceuta and Melilla. In 1893 there were several border incidents with the local tribes and the war was on the verge. Spain mobilized partly his Army. Getting modern rifles was essential, so 15.000 Argentinean Mauser in 7.65 mm were delivered, though finally the war didnât aroused. About the number of these delivered to Cuba, acording to Antonio Carrasco GarcÃaâs book âEn guerra con Estados Unidosâ, between 1895 (when rebellion aroused) and 1898 only 1176 rifles in 7.65 mm cal. were sent as reinforcement (but perhaps some had been sent before). In any case they were a minor part of the total. In any case the US army only obtained as war booty the armament of the troops surrended at Santiago de Cuba (Santiagoâs Division), the rest of troops were returned to Spain after peace treaty with its armament.
In my opinion husk rifle probably came from surplus guns sold in the 60s by Interarms.
About the 'R', I don't know the meaning, but I believe it is´t 'rebuild'.
I beg to differ with your numbers. In the 1903 Bannermans Catalog, there are press clippings that were reprinted in the catalog itself. According to these clippings, Francis Bannerman purchased the FINAL lot of Spanish Mausers that were being auction by the U.S. Government, which included ammunition and accouterments. The list is as follows:
10,700 1893 Spanish Mauser rifles and carbines
5,900,000 ball cartridges
1,500 bayonets for 7mm Mauser
2,100 1891 7.65mm Mauser Rifles
100 7.65mm Mauser Carbines
2,000,000 7.65 mm ball cartridges
1,000 bayonets for 7.65 Mauser
The newspaper article also states that there were several auctions in the previous year to sell off the captured Mauser rifles. Evidently, the government wanted to sell these rifles as either an entire lot, or in smaller lots, but wanted them sold. The largest lot purchased, prior to Francis Bannerman's purchase, was 300 rifles. I have no figures to what the government sold prior to the Bannerman sale. I am going to try to photograph these catalog pages and post them on this forum.
Can you post a picture or two of the rear sight leaf and slide? Also, is the Spanish coat of arms stock cartouche and "1896" still visable on the left side of the buttstock?
It's good to see that Bernardo Barcelo Rubi is still alive and publishing. I have been using a copy of his 1976 book "Armamento Portatil Espanol, 1764-1939". (Libreria Editorial San Martin, Madrid) Is his 2002 book a new text, or a reprint/update of the 1976 book?
There are a number of differences in the rifle sales number between Mauser records published in R. H. Korn's 1908 book "Mauser-Gewehr und Mauser-Patente" and other books. It appears that Rubi's 2002 source for rifle production that you quoted was Wolfgang Seel's 1988 history of the Mauser firm "Mauser: von der Waffenschmiede zum Weltunternehmen" (Zurich, 1986 and 1988). This is all very confusing since it appears that this source has combined the 1891 and 1892 sale of test rifles stated in other sources. Korn's work is also a problem. He has a chapter on the Navy carbine, usually known as the Model 1892, which he calls a "Model 1893". In other parts of his book, it is called the 1892/3!
Here ya go...
Here are the links to the 1903 Bannermans Catalog pages. Enjoy them because these days are long gone!
http://usuarios.lycos.es/historiaymi.../gc3siglos.htm . Some years ago it can be bought contacting with the author in the e-mail: [email protected], but now I don't know if is available . I haven't found it in any e-bookshop.
The source for the numbers of 1891 model weapons bought are two Royal Decrees of Dec 2nd 1891 and October 6th 1891 published in the Spanish legislative journal (which accesible in Internet). I don't know why such quantity of arms were bought for trials, but I presume that it was previewed that the Mauser will be the winner, and the request of a new caliber came later when the Spanish board preferred a compromise between the 6.5 mm (then in vogue) and the 7.65 mm.
About the diferent regulation models: in 1892 an improved model 1891 was adopted (Royal Decree Dec. 12th 1892), with the new rotating extractor but inline protuding magazine. This was called model 1892. Of this only 5,000 carbines and very few rifles were made because Mauser proposed another improvement, the double column magazine. This was the definitive 1893 model, adopted by Royal Order Dec. 7th 1893. As the carbine of this model was adopted only in 1895, at first the weapons that entered in service were the 1893 rifle and the 1892 carbine. Barceló calls model 1893 carbine to the 1895 model ones made in Germany. Oviedo factory began to make arms in 1896, but many arms were imported, specially by necesities of Cuban uprising that erupted in 1895.
About the arms captured by the US Army, as I said, only a small part of the Army of Cuba surrended to the American Forces. There were seven divisions in Cuba and only one surrended and the best troops were in the other side of the island, around Havana. War was won by the sinking of the Spanish Fleet by the USA's one in the mouth of Santiago Bay, which isolated Cuba and void any help form the metropoli. Santiagos's division had 8 batallions of regular troops, armed with Mauser rifles and severall others including volunteer batallions armed with Remington. So Mauser rifles captured may be about 10,000, as says sgt. George.

A small survey:
1891: 1,000 rifles and 400 cavalry carbines for the Army and 640 rifles for the Navy of Turkish model in 7,65 mm were bought for trials.
1892: By Royal Decree Dec. 12th 1892 the model 1892 rifle and carbine were adopted, with the licese to build it in Spain. These were in cal. 7 mm (developed by Mauser upon Spanish board request). Orders were made in 1892 and 1893 to Ludwig Loewe for 5,000 carbines and 20,000 rifles, and also for machinery for Oviedo factory.
1893: 15.000 arms of Argentinean contract in 7.65 mm (those of Spanish model were not yet available) were bought because of danger of war with Morocco.
1893: Adoption of improved system. All arms, except 5,000 carbines allready in fabrication, will be of this 1893 model.
1895: Cuban rebellion began. New orders to German factories.
1896: The carbine of new system was adopted as 'carabina modelo 1895'. Iussued to all mounted troops.

I forgot the Mausers captured in Puerto Rico and the Philippine Islands.
In Puerto Rico there were only 6 regular bataillons. After the ceasefire signed many forces were evacuated, so I think that Mausers captured were few.
In the Philippine Islands there were 7 regular infantry regiments and 15 'cazadores' (rifles) regular bataillons, but I don't know the number of Mausers there. Acording to Bannerman catalog images (posted by sgt. george) some were captured to Phillippine insurgents, who previously had captured to the Spanish isolated garrisons, after the capitulation.
Some time ago I read the figure of 20,000 Mauser arms captured by the US Army, and its a reliable one.
Last edited by carvil; 12-09-2007 at 11:20 AM.
20,000 sounds like a feasible number. I had read somewhere (although the author and source elude me at this time) that most of the German made Mausers were used for overseas troops and that Spanish arsenal made Mausers were used domestically. Anyone care to verify this for me.
20,000? Close, but not quite.
The US Army's final sales record of the captured Spanish Mauser rifles produced at Springfield Armory in 1904 lists 21,086 Mauser rifles and carbines, by type, caliber, date of purchase and buyer's name, although it does not unfortunately make a distinction of whether the rifle was a Spanish Army or Navy M.1893, or whether they were made by Ludwig Loewe, DWM, Mauser Oberndorf or FN.
The total does include rifles from the Philippines (2,550 received in August and September of 1902) , but does not include these rifles:
1. Arms which did not formally pass through the Army's sales system, especially rifles brought home as individual souvenirs by returning US Navy, Army and Marine Corps personnel and units from Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines.
2. The figure does not include the unknown number of rifles looted from railway boxcars, whose locks had been broken off while the freight trains made their way from Bayonne NJ to Springfield, Massachusetts in December 1898.
3. Also not in this total are rifles kept by Springfield Armory for developmental purposes.
4. Finally, the number does not include the Spanish arms and accoutrements purchased by Bannerman agents in Cuba directly from individual Spanish soldiers.
The Spanish Navy's M.1892 7 mm carbines are also not on the Army sales inventory.
Published reports in the "Springfield Republican" newspaper in late 1898, quoting US Army sources at the Armory, indicated that a total of 24,000 rifles (and ammunition) in two freight trains were expected at the Armory. Unfortunately, the article did not specify type, and it is possible that Remingtons were included in this number. But...perhaps not. There is no sales record for Remington rolling blocks which has been discovered to date, far as I know.

Funny. You won't find Bannerman admitting that he had sales agents purchasing rifles directly from retreating Spanish soldiers, but I can see him sending his people down there to do so. Francis Bannermann is still somewhat a legend here in Brooklyn. I had read that Congress held hearings subject to his resale of artillery pieces purchased from the U.S. Government, back to the U.S. Government for hundreds of times the original purchase price (reminiscent of the stories of the $700.00 hammers and $2,000.00 toilet seats a decade or so ago). Another story I had read about Bannermann is how he built a "battleship" for some unnamed South American government from and old steam cargo ship, naval artillery pieces and steel plates for armor. There were old timers living here in Brooklyn who remembered that ship being outfitted in the Gowanus Canal. He was a real character.
Sgt. G.,
There is a great deal about Bannermans that remains totally unknown even today. The little tidbits of Bannerman history that pop up in strange places, like his attempt to sell Spanish Mausers to Serbia (see Bagdonovic's book) are, I would guess, only the tip of the iceberg. His donation of Span-Am War artillery to the US Army during WW I says that he acquired a lot more than Mausers after that war ended.
BTW, the information on his agents buying arms directly from Spanish troops came from a newsletter of the Bannerman Island Trust which used to be on-line a few months ago, but is now no longer accessible.

Hello All!
It took me a while to get the pics of this carbine, but it seems to fit it with this thread, so I will post a few of them here:
The first picture shows the Spanish 1891 (top) compared to the Argentine 1891 (bottom).
I have a question for Mr. Wall about the sight pictured in the last two photos.
I have not seen this type of carbine sight pictured on any other carbine except for the 1892 Spanish Navy Test Carbine of yours shown in Robert Ball's book on pg 327 (4th Ed.).
The flip-up leaf allows sighting for 250 m (down) or 350 m (up) with the 7.65 ammo the Spanish used at the time ( I don't know what that was).
Was this a test sight which could be calibrated for either the 7.65x53 or 7x57 cartridges?
Thanks to all for the great information in this thread!
Last edited by TE53; 02-09-2008 at 11:58 AM. Reason: Clarification
I think this one might add to the discussion, though I really don't know what it is. Non-rotating extractor, all matching serials. Caliber appears to be 7x57, as it chambers no problem (also chambers 7,65). Has the exact same rear sight as 'TE53's carbine above. Has a locking screw that holds in the detachable magazine. The bolt sleeve is marked with a Turkish quarter moon. Stock has a US-quarter sized cartouche, crown/Berlin/1894.
That looks like a match to my carbine. There is only one visible difference: The charging clip extension of the bolt release on yours has a "circle B" stamp on it rather than the mark I can only describe as a "diamond ring". This stamp appears sideways also on the ejector spring.
On the other hand, the "circle B" stamp appears on the sight base of my carbine. Interesting!
TE53, my rear sight base has the same circle/B marking. The spring on my ejector box also has the same 'diamond ring'. It almost reminds me of the US or Spanish 'flaming bomb' marking. You can barely make out the tip of the 'flame' in the image of my ejector box. I see a variety of inspection marks on mine, everything from plain 'M' to stars, crossed hammers, the Turk quarter moon, rings of Saturn, etc.
My carbine has a couple of issues, mainly the stock being scorched from sitting too close to a woodburning stove, and it lacks the mainspring in the bolt as well as the rear action screw. The safety has also been broken off, and I haven't figured out how to extract the 'stump'.
BUT, I only gave $35 for it, so I'm certainly not complaining! I really don't even know what it is exactly....Spanish 91? Or an Argi 92? I get lost in these pre-M98 Mausers.
Both the above carbines are part of a purchase of 5,000 or so carbines made by Spain from Argentina for use by Spanish Forces in putting down an 1893 insurrection in the Melilla district of what later became the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco. Spain appealed directly to the Argentine Government in 1893 for modern arms needed immediately and succeeded in convincing the Argentines to sell 10,000 of their M1891 rifles then being manufactured by Ludwig Loewe in Berlin. As near as I can tell, Spain acquired the 5,000 carbines posted above, and 5,000 long 91's.
For reasons not crystal clear, the Argentine M1891 carbines came off the production line with the Spanish monarchy's royal coat of arms as the receiver crest, a mixture of Turkish, Argentine and Spanish small-parts inspection marks, and a manufacturing date of 1894 on their receiver rings. A small number have survived to this date in North American collections because after Melilla was settled, these then-modern firearms were sent by Spain to Cuba, her colony in the Caribbean, where a national revolution had just started. A small number were surrendered in 1898 at the conclusion of the Spanish American War, and then made their way to the US where they were subsuquently sold to the public.
Spain's 5,000 Argentine M.1891 long rifles may have come from stores already held at Loewe's plant. As yet, none have turned up with Spanish crests or inspection marks, as have the carbines. It is likely that these rifles had already been manufactured, and were already marked with Argentine crests. Like the carbines, these rifles also went to Cuba. In 1899, the US Army sponsored the largest single auction of military surplus rifles known in US history on January 5 and 6, 1899. The intent was to sell off 12,000+ rifles captured in Cuba. In this auction, 164 "Argentine Pattern" carbines were offered, but only 10 were purchased at that time, The rest were gradually sold off by mail order and to larger retailers like Bannermans. I wonder if Bannerman's was successful in selling off the 2,000 captured M1891 long guns as a complete lot? It would seem that this would be the only outcome that could account for the complete lack of early 91's in the US collector market today.
Interestingly, as Tom noted, the sights on the Spanish Argentine carbine are not the sights used on the Argentine carbines. Instead, the sight used on the Model 1892 Spanish Navy trials carbine were employed. These sights were short-lived and when the Model 1893 mechanism finally appeared in Spanish carbines later in 1894, an entirely different sight leaf was employed.

Thank you for those details! I have read in Colin Webster's book that there were 23,892 rifles and 1247 carbines captured in Cuba and Puerto Rico (pg. 124). Of these, "872 rifles and 84 carbines were listed as 7,65mm." Webster also mentions two lots of 5000 model 1891 rifles were obtained by Spain, plus some Turkish and Mexican rifles, but does not mention any quantities on the carbines.
Do you have any explanation or theories as to why so few of the carbines were captured? Were the carbines used by militia?
The Springfield Republican newspaper article indicates "546 Mauser carbines" were in the Bannerman purchase. Bannerman listed 100 carbines in 7.65 in the 1903 catalog, a greater number than the 84 available reported by Webster. I suppose it is impossible to piece together exact figures from contradicting reports from so long ago!
Best regards,
The seemingly contradictory numbers are likely the results of different inventory counts made at different time and locations. The number you quoted from Webster if I'm not mistaken is the number used by Ludwig Olson. Olson's sources has never been clear to me, but I would bet that it was made in Cuba around the time the arms were captured or later loaded onto ships. If the rifles were picked over by souvenir hunters, the count would have changed dramatically before they went on shipboard, and then to Bayonne New Jersey where they were reported loaded singly, loose, into boxcars for shipment to Springfield, Massachusetts. We have anecdotal evidence that the boxcars were broken into enroute and rifles removed at that time as well.
I think that the most reliable counts are the partial counts made after the US Army's first naive attempt to auction 12,000 rifles in January of 1899. At this point, the rifles were under firm military control and records of sales, types and condition were being kept by Army ordnance officers working in a peacetime industrial environment. The listing of rifles in the Springfield Republican is for arms leftover after the initial attempt at auction sales, but before the arrival of the 2,550 rifles from the Philippines.
As to why so few of one type of carbine were found, you have to remember that only a small portion of the Spanish Army surrendered at Santiago de Cuba. Most of the quarter million men in Spanish military service in Cuba never surrendered in battle and indeed returned home reportedly with their weapons per the terms of the peace treaty. The 91 carbines here today were those most likely surrendered after the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, and per chance were the arms of a cavalry unit(s) that happened to be serving in that sector.
Bannerman's records are no help since there really are none, except random statements of inventory at particular times. From the Army's sale records, however, we have a record of each and every Bannerman buy, and know therefore that Bannerman's purchased rifles in lots of a four or five, to a few hundred, to a few thousand, over a five year period, between January 4, 1899 and December 4th, 1903. Any statement by Bannerman's during these years has to be taken with a grain of salt. Only the US Army records have any real reliable historical value because only these were made with any expectation of accountability. And even these are only reliable if viewed in the context of the date and moment.
I should also mention that Spanish sources say that they purchased 10,000 rifles in all from Argentina during the Melilla emergency. Of these, the 5,000 M1891 carbines would have been half. About the only thing firm at this late point in history is the clearly-Spanish-marked 91 carbines and the Army's own listing of 2,000+ Argentine pattern long rifles counted at Springfield Armory after the January 1899 auction attempt.
Last edited by John Wall; 03-16-2011 at 11:36 AM. Reason: typos
The peace treaty at the end of the Spanish American War granted the Spanish army the "Honors of War" in the full 17th century sense. Meaning they were to leave with "flags flying, drums beating...bayonets fixed and bullets in mouth [i.e. armed - its a 17th century expression]. etc." All Spanish soldiers returned to Spain fully armed, repatriated at the expense of the United States. Cuban nationals who chose to remain Spanish citizens were also sent to Spain at US expense. Even the heavy machinery of the Havana Arsenal was returned to Spain at US expense. Thus, the only rifles that were "captured" were those in armory storage when the war ended and even some of these may have been used to rearm Spanish soldiers that had surrendered. The receipts issued to the Spanish Ordnance for the contents of the Havana Arsenal were printed in the Congressional Serial Set.
The U.S. Army briefly entertained the notion of keeping the Spanish rifles as a emergency reserve but abandoned the idea, presumably over the potential ammunition problems. And John's absolutely right about completely matching, unmodified Spanish models being fairly common in New England - at least until they became collectible. I've also have never seen a sporterized matching Spanish rifle.

John, I have found an 1893 for sale for less than 150. Bolt does not match receiver, but appears to be correct for the rifle. Reciever, stock, floorplate, and trigger guard marked the same. No corrosion apparent on bolt or rifle. The stock looks like a a replacement, not sanded, no marks. Rifle is full 29" barrel, no marks indicating it was rechambered. Has correct cleaning rod. Is marked 1924/fabrica de Armias/Oviedo. Metal looks like it might have been reblued or refinished in some way, not a bad job. Bore looks very good. No import marks. Any idea on where this thing came from? Much obliged for an answer. cjo
Hi cjo,
The vast majority of Oviedo Mausers were imported by Interarms and its owner Sam Cummings. In the late 1950's, General Franco decided to sell the old arms leftover from the Spanish Civil War then in storage in Spanish military warehouses. As a result, tens of thousands of rifles of all imaginable types (Gras, Berthier, Veterlli Vitale, Mausers of all kinds, Enfield, Mannlichers, Mosin Nagants, etc, etc) arrived in Alexandria VA over several years, and were sold retail and wholesale across North America. Your Oviedo was most likely in that group.
John, rifling looks good, bore is dark. no corrosion. what are the odds this is a decent shooter. can't check headspace etc because this is a consignment sale, small shop does not have gauges. Visual inspection of chamber end shows no corrosion, etc. guy apparently bought it years ago and put it in closet. opinion?
Sounds like this rifle has not been fired lately if ever. You might want to make arrangments for a third party to do a safety/head space check. On the other hand, an old, mismatched and refurbed Oviedo long gun like this is not worth a lot. While I would still have its head space checked, it may be just as easy to have it done after you buy it since the investment in the rifle low. Personally, I would not buy it at all, and keep looking until I found something similar but in original matching condition...but then again, I collect more than shoot.

On a balmy late-summer afternoon in the team meeting room at Mark Light Field, the same baseball sanctuary where Luis Brande once honed his notorious off-speed repertoire, all of the usual suspects were present and accounted for.
There was Red Berry, the legendary pitching coach and even better story-teller, working his charm to the delight of the crowd. There were battery mates Steve Lerner and Pat Callahan sharing a tale about "The Wizard" over in the corner. And, of course, there was public address announcer Jay Rokeach – whose voice sounded as amplified as it did over the park's meager sound system way back then.
But the biggest smile of them all – no small task in a room full of Hurricane baseball pioneers, make no mistake about it - belonged to Luis.
One of the former righthander's stories focused on a team trip to Nicaragua after a devastating earthquake.
"The baseball stadium in Esteli had chicken wire all over the place, and had wooden horse stables as our dugout. It was a cowboy town with six shooters, holsters, and horses!"
Lerner, listening to the story from afar, burst out laughing in confirmation.
"You should have seen it! It was unbelievable!"
And so went the afternoon, another magical one to add to The Light's lengthy history of similarly emotional days. With so many smiles circulating amongst the group, one of the reunion's driving motives – Luis' continued battle with ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease – was overshadowed by the encompassing familiarity of the ballpark and its habitants.
Luis, a two-year reliever for the Hurricanes from 1974-76, is no longer able to verbally communicate due to the effects of the disease. With some assistance from Jay-Ro, however, Luis shared more stories – the addictive iced tea in the dugout, a trip to the Bahamas where the opposing catcher threw "laser beams" behind his back (which Luis imitated), the four innings of no-hit baseball he threw in relief at a tournament hosted by Mississippi State.
The crowd, which included teammates and coaches from Luis' two years at Dade-South, was beaming.
Dr. Oscar Loret De Mola, formerly a Hurricane catcher and now a local pediatric gastroenterologist, was taken aback by the portrait of his former teammate – delivering a vicious hook to a pitiable opponent - plastered to the wall. All attendees signed the poster with a personalized touch.
"He is such a great friend," the doctor said, smiling. "And, man, what a curveball."
Luis' wife Dora was more than happy to fulfill her husband's familiar role of photographer for the day. One of the better photo opportunities arrived when Director of Athletics Blake James and head baseball coach Jim Morris presented Luis with a cap and jersey – adorned with his name and #14, of course – to honor his achievements.
Just one day after their 16-year wedding anniversary, Dora was thrilled to finally attach faces to the names involved in stories she had heard too many times to count.
"Luis didn't know a lot of the guys would be there today, because I wanted it to be a surprise," she said. "It's a great community, and it has been so many years since Luis has been a part of the University. To bring him back and reconnect with his teammates, everyone went out of their way to make this happen. It's such a special thing to do for a wonderful man."
Overheard by all, as he always has been, Jay-Ro finished his reading of Luis' memoir.
"We have so many memories together," it read. "God bless UM baseball, and God bless all of you."

Hill St. Baptist Church Asks Toccoa Commission For Assistance
Hill Street Baptist Church is asking the city of Toccoa for assistance to help the church pay for things lost after a 2011 incident caused major water damage at the church.
Church representatives spoke to Toccoa City Commissioners on Monday.
Back on December 30, 2011, a motorist hit a fire hydrant at the intersection of Whitman and Hill streets, which led to numerous water line breaks, including one that caused water to pour into the basement at Hill Street Baptist Church for several days until the break was found and could be fixed by the city. As a result, the church saw significant water damage.
Monday, church officials told commissioners that the church has used about $19,000 in insurance money and volunteer work to make most of the repairs that were needed to once again use the church basement for its children's church, which is what the basement was used for previously.
However, the church said it needs the city's help to finish the job.
Hill Street Baptist Church Board of Trustees Chairman Jerry Walker said that the church would like the city to provide funding to help replace things lost to the water damage that the children's church still needs.
"What it amounts to is supplies, tables, stuff that had to be thrown out because of the water damage," said Walker.
The church said it is asking for a total amount of just under $4,900.
City commissioners asked staff to review the request and bring it back to the commission for further discussion at their next meeting on May 20.
Church representatives thanked the city for considering the matter and add that they appreciate all that the city workers did back for the church back when the incident itself happened.
In other action from Monday's meeting, Toccoa City Commissioners approved a bid for the re-roofing of the downtown passageway.
City commissioners unanimously approved a bid from John's Roofing at a cost of $14,300.
It was the lowest of two bids submitted for the project.
City officials say that they will use Federal Emergency Management Agency funds to pay for the project.
Meanwhile, city commissioners also unanimously voted to ratify a tower lease agreement with the University of Georgia.
The lease covers the use of a city-owned tower by the University for WUGA-TV.
According to city officials, it is a 25-year agreement split into two 10-year terms and one 5-year term where the monthly lease payment to the city from UGA would increase after the completion of each term.
City commissioners had approved proposing the agreement in February and city officials reported Monday that the university had signed off on it.

Pentecost--History's Greatest Miracle (1 Of 11) by Jim Henry
This content is part of a series.Pentecost--History's Greatest Miracle
Series: Real Church, Real People, in the Real World
Jim Henry
Acts 2:1-13
It was about 1966 when this first came to my attention. I was at a
Southern Baptist Convention, and a friend of mine said, "I have a
friend who says he's had an experience with the Holy Spirit, and he
wants you to come and be with some other friends. I had been
hearing about some different things, about tongues, and baptizing
in the Holy Spirit, and all of that--and I went with him. I went to an
office building in Miami. A couple of other men were there, and we
sat and talked for a while. They were wonderful men of God.
After awhile, they began to talk about the filling and baptism of the
Holy Spirit, and one of them said he was speaking in tongues. You
know, I couldn't remember meeting anybody who had spoken in
tongues before, and so they decided to pray and while they were
praying, one of them began to speak in tongues. And so, then the
other guy began to. Well, I didn't. I didn't speak in tongues; I just
listened and I didn't know what they were saying, and nobody
interpreted, which, of course, I found out later was out of order,
according to Paul. But that exposed me for the first time to what at
that time was a growing phenomenon in this country, and that was
the ministry and the work of the Holy Spirit. Some call it the
baptism of the Holy Spirit, and when you get the baptism of the
Holy Spirit, you get gifts, and particularly the gift of tongues. Some
talk about it as the filling of the Holy Spirit.
Well, this morning as we look in Acts, Chapter 2, and going back to
Chapter 1, I hope we can differentiate between the filling and the
baptism of the Holy Spirit. Going to Acts,
Chapter 1, Verse 5:
5. . . .For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will
be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Chapter 2, Verse 4:
4. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit an ...

Nicki Minaj Apologizes For Controversial Malcolm X Single Cover
Nicki Minaj's new single "Lookin' A– N-ggas" has landed her in boiling water today!
Yesterday, she dropped the brand new track to create some buzz for her upcoming album, but the negative publicity was definitely not what she was aiming for. The track already had a few folks uncomfortable because of the repeated use of the N-word, but after the single cover was released, fans were in an uproar.
The cover featured a 1964 photo of civil rights activist Malcolm X holding a rifle while peeking out of the window, which was originally published in Ebony Magazine. As soon as the picture was uploaded, folks took action and a petition was launched asking for her to remove the picture from her social media immediately. Surprisingly it worked, and Nicki deleted the pic before posting the following statement on her Instagram:
"What seems to be the issue now? Do you have a problem with me referring to the people Malcolm X was ready to pull his gun out on as Lookin Ass Niggaz? Well, I apologize. That was never the official artwork nor is this an official single. This is a conversation. Not a single. I am in the video shooting at Lookin Ass Niggaz and there happened to be an iconic photo of Malcolm X ready to do the same thing for what he believed in!!!! It is in no way to undermine his efforts and legacy. I apologize to the Malcolm X estate if the meaning of the photo was misconstrued. The word "nigga" causes so much debate in our community while the "nigga" behavior gets praised and worship. Let's not. Apologies again to his family. I have nothing but respect an adoration for u. The photo was removed hours ago. Thank you"
The original photo of Malcolm holding the gun was to express that he would protect his family "by any means necessary." Over the years, this very photo has been recreated several times, including Bilal's Airtight's Revenge album cover and on the cover of KRS' Boogie Down Productions By Any Means Necessary album.

under .10 and it's no jail no DL loss (from court) and 300 dollar fine..
however original poster if you have no criminal history in the past 10 years PA had a pre-trial divsonary program called ARD. If you do a whole buch of stuff like classes and possible comminuty service... and a bigger fine... over 1000 bucks you get the charge dropped and a full expungment.
do you have any criminal history in the past 10 years where you used ARD to get the charge dropped?

NCAA 09 -- Sliders Are Needed
I am in no position to say whether or not NCAA 09 is going to suck or end up being great but out of the box this game needs a lot of tweaks.
It's weird because I can see how this could be pretty good. The game flow and spacing when compared to CH2K8 is actually quite good. You see OPEN shots, which is what college hoops is all about and you rarely see that in CH2k8.
Problem is, there's a TON of pass interceptions, player ratings and rosters are terrible, and teams shoot 70% from the floor.
I created Dallas Lauderdale and made him the defensive stopper that he is. High blocks, high D ratings, etc.
Well the "center" for Delaware State just schooled me to the tune of 26 points and was hitting reverse under hand flips, 12 foot fade aways, baby hooks , you name it. Good luck stopping the AI on the block one on one.
Graphics and animation is very average. The animations are herky-jerky but the pace feels so good that I am willing to give it a fair shake by tweaking some settings. Too many shots go in plain and simple.

Bill, you've pretty much summed up my impressions after playing this weekend. I'm not sure the game is worth $60 at this point (largely given that CH2k8 still plays a good brand of basketball), but with some slider tweaks, it was showing some promise.
The BIGGEST change to make, IMO, is to reduce the speed slider by about 10 clicks from the default. Then, you can really see the animations, player interactions, and off the ball movement start to shine. At regular speed, it often seems like frames are skipping as players frenetically chase one another around the court. I reduced the shooting sliders for me and the CPU by about 20 clicks or so and dropped layups by at least 10 points. I also increased shot blocking and increased "change shot probability" by about 15-20 clicks.
After making these minor tweaks and using the overhead camera, I was able to see some pretty realistic, fun games on AA difficulty.
I didn't scratch the surface of Dynasty mode or the sim engine at all, so I'm curious as to what you'll find there. If it's anything like NCAA Football 09, there might be some issues there.
- December 2, 2008 at 7:12 PM
- Jeff said...
Forgot to mention - obviously, I also reduced interceptions and steals by about half and increased all fouls by about +10 clicks. The CPU will throw the ball away wayyy to frequently if you leave the sliders at default, even if you don't press at all and play a pretty vanilla defense.

I wouldn't let my kids eat white bread. As they got older, that became what they wanted. Figures. But, now that they are grown, they do eat mostly wheat (don't know if it's always whole wheat) & multigrain breads.

I'm not a mom or anything, but I am thinking forward to when I might be, and I am also reflecting back on my childhood. I grew up to be a pretty healthy eater... sure there were some rough years when I was a teen and lived on fast food and soda, but then I grew up. When I think back about what kind of foods my mom did or didn't let me eat, I can't think of anything in particular. I think that it's too easy now-a-days to become obesessed over what we feed our kids or what they are consuming, with all of the new reasearch that is coming out and the heavier focus on food and eating, and I just can't think that is really healthy for children. I don't think it's so much about focusing on what kids can and can't eat, but teaching them to have a healthy relationship with food. My parents never used food or treats as a reward with me, ever. So I didn't learn to associate sweet or forbidden things as a reward, which I think thwarted off any emotional eating habits I could have developed. I just never learned to associate food with behavior or feelings. I could eat whenever I wanted, unlike some of my other friends who were restricted to eating at specific meal times, which killed me when I would be playing over at their house and wanted a snack. I learned to become a grazer and not to have to chow down at meal time in order to sustain myself until the next meal. My parents also ate very slowly with me, so I learned from a small age to be a slow eater, a habit that I have maintained throughout my adult life. In the end I don't overeat and actually really savor and enjoy my food. I can even make an m&m last for two bites :o) Lastly, my mom and grandma taught me to love to cook. From a really young age my mom would set me on the kitchen counter with a bowl of flour and water and egg and let me just mix and play away while she made our actual real dinner. But I learned to love being in the kitchen and to cook and bake. As an adult I can whip up just about anything in the kitchen and therefore end up making dinner at least 5-6 nights a week. A much healthier habit than ordering out every night.
Anyways, that's my two cents, from a non-mother. But these are the lessons that I plan to teach and pass on to my future children.

There are some things I will not let my 18 month old eat, like doritos and other highly processed food. My 10 year old on the other hand has a good education of what helps your body "run" better, i'e' if you feed your body crap, it will soon feel like crap and perform like crap. But it is up to her to make her own decision. She is aware of how here friends eat and the issues they have with their bodies. Most of us are part of a fast moving culture that feeds on how much we can do in a day and the convienece of fast food tends to play a large part. Not that I don't have my own fast food weaknesses but I do my best to incorporate the pleasure of family and food, excellent nutrition and lead by example a life of moderation.. Best wishes...

My daughter is 3 1/2 and we don't keep any junk in the house so she knows that candy etc. are a once and a while kind of thing. But one thing that I am firm about her not trying until she is much older is soda- it's garbage and I think it is awful when I see some parents putting diet coke in their baby/toddler's bottle. For drinks she only gets water, milk and OJ and she is perfectly happy with that since it is all she knows.

My daughter is 2 1/2 years old. We don't allow her to drink Soda EVER, but occasionally give her an Izzy because she likes the fizz. She also doesn't get candy or gum under any circumstance. She's young enough that we don't feel like she knows what she is missing, and not being in day care or around older kids on a regular basis we don't have to contend with her knowing about them yet. Only Mommies/Daddies/Grandmas, etc get gum/soda/candy. May not be the best policy, but she doesn't argue...yet. When we are encountered by an event where they serve things I wouldn't provide at home (like those "cut the top off" popsicles at our Garden Club) I do the "When in Rome" thing too. It isn't on a regular basis (so it won't kill her to have it) and I don't want to give the impression that there is "bad" food...which I think in the end just makes them more appealing to her. Hoping for the best.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, stressing her Iowa roots and appealing directly to Tea Party voters, came out swinging Monday as she formally launched her campaign for president.
Buoyed by a strong showing in several recent polls, the Minnesota congresswoman cast her campaign as the voice for "constitutional conservatives" looking for a government that lives within its means while giving the private sector the room to grow. She launched a broadside against President Obama for racking up too much debt while stimulating too little job growth and vowed to make him a "one-term president."
"We cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama," she declared, later adding: "We can win in 2012 and we will win."

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The secret to amazing fried chicken is big, juicy, meaty chicken pieces, a coating that fries up nice and crispy, a secret recipe from your grandmother who's been making awesome fried chicken for more than half a century, and a whole lot of soul. It doesn't hurt to pair your chicken with a couple crazy-good waffles either. Larry "Lo-Lo" White (grandson of Mrs. White, whose own restaurant gets this year's nod for soul food) has been getting this combination right for the last decade with his addictively good "Southern-style" fried chicken and cinnamon-spiced waffles. Each plate of chicken is cooked to order and always comes out golden brown and crispy, and the waffles are the perfect vehicle for moving the sweet maple syrup into your mouth between crunchy chicken bites. It's about as perfect as fried chicken can get. Plus, Lo-Lo's serves Kool-aid — the essential beverage for your chicken and waffle experience.
Sure, chef Shinji Kurita's exquisite Japanese restaurant may have opened last June, but its discreet location, low-profile stance, and a nod as a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in the 2012 James Beard Awards makes it seem as recent as ever. Kurita's omakase, or chef's choice dinners, are nothing short of spectacular, elegant works of art, meticulously prepared, and made with fresh, seasonal delicacies. The offerings may include a luscious whole blue crab, delectable pieces of wagyu beef you grill yourself, or several small gems of seafood — like kumamoto oyster topped with sea urchin, seared scallops drizzled with truffle oil, and Santa Barbara prawn with dots of caviar. Kurita's sushi selection is especially impressive, with wild-caught fish hailing mostly from Japan and ranging from the most delicate flavor to the breathtakingly decadent bluefin otoro. The small yet sophisticated space, a tranquil setting of wood, stone, and classical music, along with exceptional service and an equally impressive list of sakes and Japanese craft beers (like the sweet-potato brew, Coedo Beniaka) add to the indulgence. It all makes ShinBay a restaurant that could hold its own in any major city, but one the Valley is lucky enough to call its own.
Fry bread and finally. For those in the know about this tiny, bustling spot nearly tucked away on North Seventh Avenue near Indian School Road, this year's James Beard Foundation award was a long time coming. As one of five winners of its 2012 America's Classics award, which honors legendary family-owned restaurants across the country, the restaurant, which got its start in 1992 courtesy of Cecelia Miller of the Tohono O'odham Nation, serves up its specialty in golden pillowy goodness the size of a dinner plate. Topped with a variety of flavorful ingredients such as chorizo, chiles, and, in its dessert version, butter and chocolate, it's satisfying in nearly any variation. In fact, we'd say we couldn't agree with the award more — if our mouths weren't so full of fry bread.
At the recently rehabbed Saguaro Hotel, celebrity chef Jose Garces, a former Iron Chef America contestant and James Beard Award winner, has created a vibrant, colorful, and tasty paean to Mexico City street food that has caught not only the attention of local diners but the national media, including Food + Wine magazine. Despite a few misses, the "modern Mexican" small plates at Garces' restaurant are spectacular. Start with the rich gourmet version of green pozole, featuring pieces of crispy pork belly, smoky chorizo, and littleneck clams, or the citrusy yellowtail tuna ceviche, a sashimi-like twist on the beloved Mexican seafood cocktail. For a main course, dig into outstanding mahi mahi and pulled pork tacos or a tender piece of rotisserie chicken topped with a tantalizingly complex brown mole. It's nearly as good as just about anything on the barbacoa portion of the menu, especially the slow-roasted pork dish cochinita a la pibil, served in a small pool of achiote and pineapple barbecue sauce. There certainly is no shortage of local star power and top-notch culinary geniuses in Scottsdale, which makes it all the more special that someone of Jose Garces' stature chooses to bring his distinct vision to this thriving culinary scene.
This coffeehouse/bar long has been popular with the see-and-be-seen crowd, and why not? The place is consistently hoppin' with MacBook-wielding, dressed-to-impress, urbane 20-somethings. Whether you're there for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a craft cocktail, a bite from the ever-changing menu (we love the mac 'n' cheese), or just to chat with friends, you'll be rubbing shoulders with a clientele that is the very definition of "cool." Among the vintage typewriters, artfully placed burlap sacks, mismatched reclaimed furniture, and electronica music playing overhead, you'll find a crowd of young professionals, boho types, downtown students, and people who dig the joint's ability to be upscale without seeming nouveaux riche, esoteric without being pretentious, and tasteful without being bland. In other words, it's our kind of place. And, apparently, yours as well.
Lots of restaurants boast star and diamond ratings, but only one in Arizona has five of each. This fact, in addition to its unique Native American cuisine, makes this one-of-a-kind restaurant located in the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa, on the Gila River Indian Reservation in Chandler, the perfect go-to when you've got out-of-town guests in tow. From its beautiful interior and outdoor patio overlooking a dreamy, desert landscape, to exceptional service, to executive chef Michael O'Dowd's stunning fare mixing indigenous ingredients like heirloom squash, saguaro seeds, and nopalitos with gourmet components such as chanterelles, truffles, and foie gras, Kai is an indulgence worth the price. Plus (bonus!), your guests give you the credit for taking them there.

The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread
View Single Post
September 12th, 2013, 17:32
We started and finished Sentinels last week. We did not run the "extra" Sentinels quest, just the main 4.
On deck this week, we have Delera's 2-4 (4 is the non-quest quest). Hopefully, everyone gets level 10 once that's over because we're done with level 7 content at that point. Actually, we should take the level (those that can) and finish Delera even if some have to do it underlevel. Aletys should have her Voice before we do the XP-rich Necro and VoN chains. So that's the official plan for Friday: Delera 2-4, take level, Delera5. That should fill out our time reasonably well. Perhaps we should help Az out by splitting the groups with a zerg/tourist approach. I think I can do that and still balance the party make-ups, if we want to take that approach.
We've got a buttload of level 8 content to tackle (part of Threnal, Necro2 flags, part of VoN, numerous house quests) with loads of XP available, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if some of us have to run a few quests underlevel to pick up toon level 10. We'll probably all be holding next level before we finish this batch of content.
Technically, we should skip one of those chains, but there's not really a good one to axe. We've got several folks that need to upgrade their Silver Flame Amulet. We've committed to running the VoN raid. We WILL run Threnal this time around because we always skip it and I'm being a dictator and I say so dammit.
Most likely, we end up ignoring most of the house quests this time thru because Peter and Aletys will probably be spending a fair bit of time on the ceiling.
Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

Magnaflow installed
I fitted an 18 inch Magnaflow a couple of months back, but never got round to posting a clip of it, so here goes.
I couldn't rev it as much as I would like to. I live in a small village and if I really gunned it, my neighbours would complain like hell:slapfight::lol:
I'll hopefully get a better one up soon, where you'll hear the exhaust popping! But I'll need to find somewhere quiet to do it:rolleyes:.
I am now planning on a true dual set up:thumbsup:
Edit: It would probably help if I could spell Magnaflow correctly in the title!
Re: Maganflow installed
You guys don't know how much I would love to live overseas.
Nice sound. Not to harsh.
Do you know of anything that's quiet? (I'd prefer not to change the sound at all.) I want something that quiet and won't make my V6 sound bad.
Re: Maganflow installed
Things aren't that great over the pond just now dude, better off staying put to be honest.
I think if you go for a 21" muffler it will be a bit quieter. The video doesn't really show how loud it gets:eek:
Re: Maganflow installed
I'd just like to be over there for a change in atmosphere. I love living in the US but I also like to experience new things and I have a fascination for learning about new cultures.
Dated a lot of females from other countries who were college interns in the US for the summers.
Re: Maganflow installed
Well if you're ever looking for a base to see Scotland from, give me a shout:thumbsup:
Re: Magnaflow installed
Does it drone at all on the highway? I want to do this too...but I don't want to hear it humming for hours when I'm on a long trip. I'm considering the 22" model:
Re: Magnaflow installed
The drone doesn't bother me too much, as I usually have my music on and am slightly deaf in my left ear thanks to a grenade:rolleyes:.
Re: Magnaflow installed
I was really hoping you'd say that it's only loud when you hit the pedal...
I had a lot of drone in my TJ and my XJ...I REALLY don't want it in this one too, but I want that V8 sound!
Re: Magnaflow installed

nice aaron! sounded real good on start up!!

Deer and human urine.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 08:35 PM
I have read an article in a magazine a while back about the effect of human urine on deer coming into a hunted area. If I remember correctly the results of the study were that human urine odor had no effect on deer. Needless to say the results really surprised me.
Im sure its happened to all of us we just crawl into the blind or climb the stand and nature calls. This happens to me a lot probably most every time if its cold. Not going to lie i have relieved myself in a gatorade bottle a time or two while sitting in my blind. What do you guys do? Any experience with deer coming in despite having taken a leak on the ground next to your stand/blind? What are your thoughts? Does a deer associate the smell with danger? Is going in a bottle really necessary? My buddies make fun of me for it but im not one to take chances and scent control is first priority as most of you know. I sure hope nobody stumbles upon my blind and is thirsty and grabs one of my pi** jugs.

I agree. I hunt on a private farm, and have seen the deer have a lot higher tolerance for humans than they might have in a different setting. Things like noise, movement, and human scent seem to be more acceptable to them. They definitely still notice things, but might not bolt for the next county upon sensing human activity. I'm not saying its the same across the board, but seems to be the case in my own personal experience.
Well, I am pretty much totall against the grain here...I have always heard about the need to pee in a bottle and all that jazz. When I have to go...she goes over the side of the stand and onto the ground....and the deer never stop coming. I have never even had one go over and sniff the spot where I peed just minutes before. That being said, I hunt in a semi-urban area where there is lots of human activity as well as machinery most of the year. I am convinced that deer react only if they detect something abnormal with 2 of their senses. If it seems normal to them, it dosn't bother them. I have hunted the big woods on crown land in my past as well (no deer left there now: different topic) and I would never pee out of a stand there because the deer definitly would react to it. So what I am saying is...it depends on the deer and the their habitat whether or not they will react....this is just my observation

If you put soo much time and effort trying to covertly position yourself in the vicinity of the mature buck, it defies logic (in my opinion) to then blatantly announce your presents by peeing in that area.

Strange things happen while hunting and positive results sometimes give us the illusion, the end result was because of some artificial gimmick. I remember sitting talking to a group of guy involved with the trade when one said I think I can sell hunters DIRT. He had a line of scents in snuff tins and sure enough he came out with one that smelled like dirt.

X2 on the bear tactic. I learned from some old fellas to do the same thing to accustom bears to my body odor and fly dope etc by leaving a rag wiped full of my pit sweat and sprayed with dope, you know the tric. It at times takes long for the site to get action, but not by more than a day or two and once they work up the courage to approach, like you've said Sako, they associate that with the bait and will tollerate your presence even when fully downwind of you unless you have some out of the ordinary odor on you so it pays to still take care of that as per usual.

I think anyone bothering to post their "opinion" on any topic and finish their post with "just my opinion" are doing themselves an injustice. I say post with conviction and let the readers have at it. It would be nice if everyone posted with the strength Jay used, but I'm still carrying my pee bottle.

I would certainly agree with gchase' comments on the above picture .. it's not possible to get pictures of the deer that you didn't see (as result of your pee), and therefore, the picture evidence holds very little weight as far as comparing the two methods (peeing versus not peeing). What it does show, is that this particular deer, on that day, didn't seem to mind. Maybe there are other like him. Maybe they are all like him! I would think that if you can pull this off on a consistent basis, you might have something.

There used to be a show on Michigan PBS called Fred Trosts Michigan outdoors. He challenged the deer urine industry about the authenticity of deer urine. He spent the money to have the bottled deer urine analized and broken down and most had an active ingredient identified as URHEA. Which turned out to be basically dried human urine. He also tested human bottled urine against deer urine, collected from a farmed whitetail and found the deer reacted the same for both. THey did the same lip curl, taste sample, and urinated a bit. He won the court case but in doing so bankrupted himself and his TV show. After that if it ws deer urine it could be labelled as such but if it was synthetics or not deer urine it had to be labelled as such. Personally I don't carry a bottle but don't usually hunt from stands. If I'm still hunting and have to go, I'll find a water source, urinate and doe bleat or grunt.
You are an American bozzo if you pee in a bottle. If deer where that affraid of our urine they would never move around in the woods.
I've tested it will my trail cam. Take a piss, put out feed and then leave. What do you know...5.5 year old buck comes in at the same time as the day defore.....and then the next day....
Side note, I highly doubt the wild west boys (Sask or Alb) pee in bottles and they shoot/see lots of mature bucks. Lack of deer in NB is the biggest reason why we don't see alot of mature bucks.

I always set up a scrape near my bait pile and I always pee right on it everytime I go by and stir it up , and the concensus is
it doesnt scare them and I think it attracts the bucks
just my opinion
Good for you Jay. Don't listen to GChase anyway....he's already ruined his credibility on this site and other sites. He's the world photoshop champion.

Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.
Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em
I have smoker envy.
This is my smoker.
It is a modest and unassuming device fired by propane and capable of smoking whatever can fit on its three stainless steel racks. It would be challenged by an entire whole turkey but generally meets my needs.
Here is Little John's smoker.
I have a metal shop building like Johnny's and am inspired by this lean-to addition.
Everything about Little John is larger than life - including his smoker. It's huge. It can smoke two whole pigs and a half-dozen whole turkeys simultaneously.
With room to spare.
Or the entire neighborhood's Thanksgiving turkeys.
Yes - this has been done.
It isn't fired by propane, natural gas or a bowl of wood chips - but by means of real wood logs.
What you see here is hickory and cherry. Once the firebox is nice and hot it will be stoked with additional cherry logs.
I got to see this baby in action when Little John smoked a dozen racks of baby back ribs and five monstrous Boston butts.
You sit in your lawn chair, sip a cold one while working on your tan and get-up to mop your bbq every half hour or so.
Me? I filled my brine pail with a double batch of the signature brine and added a couple of butchered wild turkeys. Leaving them to soak on the porch for a day and a half - I loaded all the parts into my tiny little smoker...
And cooked everything for four hours over apple wood until the internal temp was 165.
This is going to make for some good eats in the coming year.
Gas Pains' Signature Brine
2 - qt of cold water
1 - c Kosher salt
1/2 - c brown sugar
2 - tsp seasoned salt
2 - tsp pickling spice
1/8 - c Morton® Tender Quick®
Little John's Signature Mop
4 - c lemon juice
2 - c vinegar
2 - c soy sauce
1 - c Worcestershire
2 - T chili power
2 - T granulated garlic
1 - T salt
1 -T pepper
2 - bottles of Italian salad dressing
Bring to a boil. Cool.
Mop your meat every 30 minutes while smoking.

snow update
By ccrossen | November 8, 2012
Cold, blowing, snowing, and accumulating in Tahoe this afternoon. Very low water content … nice and fluffy. Looking at a decent little storm/ accumulation over the next two-three days, maybe 16+ inches way up high by tomorrow afternoon, which is nice, then lingering showers for a few inches through Sat., 10-12 inches or so down at lake level - it should be enough for some turns somewhere… Unlike the last system, we're not going to see the nice heavy, cover-up; consequently, heads up out there and probably a good idea to bring the rock skis. Enjoy.

Specifically, a software update is now available for the venerable device, which manages to bring Android 2.3.6 into the picture. Packed with the usual set of "bug fixes and security patches," this 17.5MB software update has the distinctive notoriety of addressing the handset's tethering woes that some people are experiencing. Moreover, it includes a patch that brings some changes to the NFC function with the handset.
Overall, we're sure that handset owners are going to be content by this small update, but then again, some might regard them as being spoiled since the handset is known to be treated to the latest and newest Android updates.

Watchtower Library Android Tablet Reader
Install Watchtower Library files:
Connect Android Tablet to your computer. Open up your computers file explorer.
You should see your tablet listed. Mine is an ASUS MEMO and shows up as ME301T.
Under ME301T will be the directory Internal storage and if you have a removable memory card it will be listed also. Mine shows up as MicroSD. From your computers file explorer, make a file under either the internal memory or MicroSD storage directory. I named mine JW Lib 2012.
Get these files from a trusted source and copy them to the folder you made:
1) WTPub-EN-DX-2011.pdb
2) WTPub-EN-Full-2011.pdb
3) RBi8-E.pdb
4) NWT-Rbi8-E.pdb
Install iSilo reader:
You want to purchase the iSilo version that is offered on the Android market, that way you will know that it works on your device. Go to the "play store" and do a search for "iSilo". There is a 30 day trial version you can install to be sure it works and if so buy it.
Create a shortcut in iSilo to Library:
Once you start the iSilo app - look on the top to the far right you will see a button called "Device" click on it.
Just below the 5 buttons is a white strip that will have information in it. You should see the word [Volumes]. If you don't - hit the back arrow on your tablet until you do.
Next there should be 2 options below that white strip - "Device Memory" and "sdcard."
1) If the folder you made above is on the tablet, select Device Memory. Then follow the instructions below at Continue to make shortcut.
2) If the folder you made above in on a removable memory card read the following carefully.
THIS IS CONFUSING Under Volumes the sdcard appears to be a part of the Device Memory (same file names and structure). Select Device Memory and then the directory Removable. You should now see your removable memory card. Mine shows up as MicroSD. Select it and you should see your folder.
Continue to make shortcut:
Now, look for the folder with your files and select it. DON'T just touch the folder; you want to do a LONG PRESS. This is how you make a favorite. So LONG PRESS your folder until an option window pops open.
The options are:
1) "Enter Folder"
2) "Favorite Folder Alias"
Select ""Favorite Folder Alias" It will automatically give the shortcut the name of the file folder then Press OK.
Up on the top row where "Device" is and to the left of it is "Faves." Click it and see if your folder name is in there now. If not close iSilo and re-open it and look again. I find that sometimes you have to close iSilo to get it to recognize the new favorites.
You won't need to do any of those steps again. Now all you have to do is select your folder in "Faves.. You should see all the files you put in the folder. Just select the file you want to open.

Jagged Alliance: Crossfire - Review @ GameBanshee
GameBanshee have a review up for the Crossfire Addon to Jagged Alliance: back in Action.
As I mentioned before, Crossfire didn't change anything in the game engine, but it does include all of additions from Back in Action's 1.13 patch. That means if you're like me, and you played Back in Action before the patch came out, then Crossfire will have some new improvements. These improvements include sector inventories (which mean you don't have to run around from container to container to pick things up after capturing a map); difficulty levels, including "hard" (where enemies have more health and you have less money) and "tactical mode" (where enemies only show up when you can see or hear them); free stamina on captured maps (so it's easier to run around and talk to people); and shopkeepers who update their stock and increase their money over time (making it easier to go shopping).
Coreplay also made sort of a bizarre change. For some reason tanks can now only be destroyed by rockets and not with grenades like before. When I reached the lone tank in the campaign on Day 6, I tried using grenades on it to no avail, and then I ferried over a grenade launcher (since I had one in storage), and it didn't make a dent, either. Finally I ordered a LAW (light anti-tank weapon) from the game's online store (which requires two days for shipping), and by the time I finally took out the tank it was Day 12 and I was irritated.

I had to look a second time to get the point, and then I noticed that they are taking four right turns. An I bet the direction of these turns is intentional.
You had to look at it twice to get that?

Israeli woman appeals rabbinical ruling she must circumcise son
By Maayan Lubell
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli woman appealed to the Supreme Court on Wednesday against a rabbinical ruling that ordered her to circumcise her one-year-old son, the Justice Ministry said, in the first case of its kind.
There is no law in Israel making circumcision obligatory for Jews, but a rabbinical court that was presiding over the woman's divorce case ruled last month that she must fulfill her husband's wish in the matter.
It fined her 500 shekels ($142) a day until she did so.
Circumcision is one of Judaism's most fundamental decrees. It symbolizes the covenant between God and the Jewish people and nearly all Jews in Israel abide by it, performing the ritual when their son is eight days old.
Traditionally, the circumcisions are performed by a mohel, a religious man trained in the procedure, and are carried out in a festive ceremony called a "brit" -- Hebrew for covenant.
Rabbinical courts in Israel have jurisdiction over matters of marriage and divorce and operate under the Justice Ministry. But in her appeal, the woman, who has not been named, said the rabbis had no jurisdiction over her son's circumcision.
"This is precedent-setting," said Amnon Givoni, an attorney for the Justice Ministry's Legal Aid department, which is representing the woman along with two other lawyers.
"Performing or not performing circumcision is a serious matter and it should be discussed deeply ... and separately from the matter of the couple's divorce." Continued...
