Good pictures Ben.

I bet Gcreek could use that rifle in the middle pic for shooting wolves. :shock:

Wouldnt it fun shootin gophers with that bad mother

Make sure it has a night vision scope when you send it.


Les, :roll: I guess you prairie guys like gophers as much as I like wolves. :lol:

We had a "Universal Night Sight", I'm not sure if that was officially what it was called or not. It's not that big and mounts in front of the scope on the rail. It makes any scope a night vision scope. That middle picture was taken in my tower, 72 feet up. That's five flights of stairs going up there. The rooftop pic was on the Palace, about a 10 minute walk from where I lived in Camp Victory, Baghdad. That is the palace where our General for the theater lives and works out of. The water is a man made lake. There are two hills, one is on the base and is used for all the radio antennas. This hill, the only one around, is the dirt from the lakes when they were made. If you look at the last picture near the top, you can make out a blimp. These are tethered to the ground and have a camera where you can zoom way in day or night. There are a few of them around the base.

Good pic Ben,never knew you were in the army,thanks for your service.Noticed you don't have a rope on your saddle,although if you don't need to rope anything that makes sense.

It took me like a week to go all the way through 38 pages of this but I made it.
This is one of the only pictures I could find of me.

How bout them legs?

Looks like a corn picker to me.....but I could be wrong :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: ( as I don't live in Alabama)

That is a one row corn snapper from the 50's I think. I use it every year to snap 5 to 10 acres of corn. At least I did back when it rained.

 

[Blkbuckaroo]

Corn snapper? :???: Does it just bend the stalk over?

 

[RobertMac]

Ben, like the 50 cal.!!!!! M-16 is sweet too...I got a couple AR-15s I shoot National Match with...or did.
Thanks for your service.
My ex-Special Forces brother is south of Bagdad now.

It runs the ear through some rollers and snaps the ear off.
