Montana is nice but good accommodations are particularly pricy. You jump straight from the "Super 8" to $300 a night in the places we were. There are lots of wild woods camping opportunities tho if that works for you. Yeah me neither ;-) There are lots of great hiking trails but you have to look for them. They are not all that well documented. If you like falling water and walking on trails by yourself it is worth looking. Sounds like a great place to take an RV. Yup there are plenty of opportunities to go off the grid for a night or two and then get to a full service park to freshen up the RV. The maid doesn't come into the RV the morning, make up the beds, vacuum, clean the bathroom, take out the trash? :) In an RV, doing all that takes only about a half hour. Not worth hiring a maid for. Ahh, so there is more time to order breakfast from room service! :) We rented houses in Montana and we did not get any of those things. Plenty of room to spread out tho and lots of privacy. Our nearest neighbor in Paradise Valley. (near Yellowstone) http://gfretwell.com/ftp/montana/Par.../SE%20View.jpg This is the house we rented in Bad Rock (near Glacier NP) http://gfretwell.com/ftp/montana/Bad...ry%20House.jpg This was the view from the front porch http://gfretwell.com/ftp/montana/Badrock/horses.jpg Well, there is a nice KOA in the neighborhood, but the view from the picture window may not be as spectacular. http://koa.com/campgrounds/whitefish...d-1eb2215996df But, for $60/night some sacrifices must be made. Looks pretty nice. I have an old college buddy from Missoula who tells us to come for a visit while we're still above the ground. Might do that. Better hurry. ;-) Indeed...what was that line from that old Startrek movie...ahh "Time is the fire in which we all burn..." Or something like that. |

I detect just a whiff of hypocrisy here. You should help feed the poor with your ill gotten gains. For shame. Merry Christmas - remember? |

Well, I went with the Walther. Will give a report on its reassembly when I get it. It will be interesting to see how the one you bought breaks down. On the PPK/2 you pull the trigger guard down and to one side that then allows you to release the barrel assembly. Very simple. |

The Rugers are easy to reassemble if you follow the simple directions on the many youtube videos dedicated to that subject. It took me less than 10 minutes to reassemble my Mark III the first time, and a lot less since then. I doubt I break it down more than once or twice a year. One of the attractions of the Rugers is that the sight picture remains constant...there's no external slide on which your sights are mounted cycling. |

On the PPK/2 you pull the trigger guard down and to one side that then allows you to release the barrel assembly. Very simple. Here's what I read: "Disassembly is similar in some respects to a standard 1911. First, one removes the magazine and disengages the safety. Second, the recoil spring plug at the muzzle must be depressed and the bushing rotated. Once these pieces are removed, the recoil spring slides out easily. After that point, disassembly is similar to the other Walther .22s – The slide is pulled back to lock, and the slide release can be pushed out of the frame. Once you’ve done this, the slide can be pulled back and off the rails of the frame, then pushed forward to clear the slide from the barrel." http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...t-1911a1-22lr/ Does that sound the same? |
