      Luger serial number wuestion

      As many here know, M1 Garands were manufactured by four entities. Each was assigned a specific range of serial numbers. So, generally speaking, a Garand’s serial number will indicate by which entity it was made and when. Does the same hold true for “Luger” pistols? Or, did the various...

      Savage 1907 issue

      Hey, folks. Not sure if this is the right place for this question…maybe Gunsmithing? Anyhow, I have a 1916 Savage 1907 used by the French Army (correct serial number range, 124xxx, and has the lanyard loop). Problem is it is incredibly tight. By that I mean it takes a ton of force to get the...

      RIP Joe Gressis

      Today, we lost Joe Gressis, 42, loving husband and father of two. Those of us who have enjoyed the fruits of Joe’s incredible efforts would have enjoyed any of his several restaurants in Charles County - Obo’s of Waldorf and Indian Head, Galazio’s of La Plata, and Lucianna’s of...

      Hey, folks. Still recovering from our house fire and are at the point of needing estimates on a two zone A/C system with two mini-splits. We know Winters Heating and Cooling up there in Leonardtown, has a very solid reputation. Wanted to get one or two more estimates. Any ideas? Thanks!

      Great music in SOMD

      Who knows how we will all be feeling after tomorrow’s elections? This is a very “Blue” Maryland, after all. But, if music soothes the savage beast, may I commend yo my fellow SOMD’s, an AM station I just found? Yes, I said AM. WPTX, 1690 AM, is licensed in Lexington Park, but I...

      Attorney needed in St Marys

      Last night, I met my wife for a nice dinner at the Tiki Bar at Solomon’s, and we left together to drive home in our separate vehicles. Our place is in Lexington Park, St Mary’s County. We were almost there when she got pulled over and was charged with DUI. So, we are in need of a good...

      Internet service in SOMD?

      Comrades, My wife and I recently lost our house in Prince Frederick to a house fire. And, yes, my guns DID suffer badly for real. So, we are in a lovely rental in Lexington Park. As we are settling in, we need to get an internet service for the house, e.g., FIOS, etc...

      Major Meat Place in Waldorf

      I see a new Brazilian-style restaurant will be openning in Waldorf next month. Luciana’s will be openning where the old Hong Kong Buffet was, west side of 301. That sort of restaurant is all about grilled meat in mass quantities, brought to and carved at the table by waiters until you...

      Need concrete sidewalk contractor

      Hey, fellow Southern Marylanders (Me, by marriage). My wife has decided that we need to replace a concrete sidewalk and walkway at our house in Dares Beach. I am guesstimating a walkway of about 3 feet wide by 100 feet in length. Not sure how thick, but beefy is better. And, maybe...

      Eddie @ LaPlata Walmart

      Hey, Southern Marylanders. Was at the LaPlara Walmart Thursday while in the area on an errand. Wandered over to sporting goods to ogle the guns, while my wife took care of some real stuff. The salesman there, Eddie, came over to offer his help. We had a great conversation about...

      How did I miss it?

      I was driving through LaPlata the other day. Passed what I thought was a small gun shop located on the north side of Route 5, near the railroad tracks. Don't remember ever seeing it before. Did not have time time to really read the sign. Pretty small, simple block building. What was it? How...

      Kitchen Grease Trap on the Bay

      Folks, my 80+ year old house is waterfront on the Bay - hence, deeply in the "critical zone". Built under the old Southern Building Code, it has a grease trap and drain field for the kitchen sink. Essentially, that is a small septic system dedicated to the kitchen. Well, the iron...

      5.56 Frangible as HD ammo?

      Recently shot up a bunch of Winchester 5.56 frangible stuff...45 gr...relatively inexpensive, easy on the range infrastructure. It shot consistently low and was very dirty. The question is whether it would be suitable HD ammo? Close ranges obviate the low shot concern. The 45 gr...

      Am in San Antonio for son's AF Basic Graduation

      So, why do you all care? First, I and, I know you all, respect and celebrate his willingness, in fact his eagerness to serve. God bless all our troops, past, present, and future. And, at the ceremony today, NO ONE sat for the national anthem. Second, and more directly to the Forum's...
