      Translating/interpreting a 5-kanjii inscription?

      Only if it were Chinese. In Japanese first born would be Taro or Chounan (太郎 or 長男).

      Translating/interpreting a 5-kanjii inscription?

      I couldn't figure out the last kanji so I asked a friend living in Japan, so what you have is 水 (water-mizu/or sui in onmyou Japanese), 田 (rice paddy-den, ta, or da), 子 (child-ko/ shi,su,ne in onmyou), 秀 (preimenence-Shu). So what you have is a wet rice paddy preiminent child sword :-) The first...

      Translating/interpreting a 5-kanjii inscription?

      Correct! Tell him what he has won Bob! Seriously though, the markings on the sword look a little fresh to be on a blade that aged. Where did you get it?

      Translating/interpreting a 5-kanjii inscription?

      I speak Japanese, just post the pics, what can it hurt? Of course if it says 中国製 your screwed. :-)

      Bought: Benchmade Bedlam, Boker Magnum Bowie and Boker Jim Wagner RBB

      If you get tired of your Benchmade, give a ZT 350 (G10) a try, it is a beast. At $140 it is a bit of a steal too.

      Witness: Troy Teen Arrested for Carrying Rifle 'Was in His Legal Right'

      Then you didn't read the article, the first was from the point of view of a 17 year old girl without a response from the police, the second included a response from the police. This isn't the right argument to pursue 2A rights, the issue is did the kid have the right to not identify himself...

      "Does Obama have an office on the third floor above Engage?"

      Funny now, but this may become more commonplace in the near future. The Obama election office used to be over on 3750 University, where the Sun Trust is. It is still on the web when you do a search, lol.

      HELP ID SHORT SWORD

      Imperial Russian Bebut. There are a couple on eBay. Not sure if it is a repro or not.

      .950 jdj rifle

      I read that the "Sporting Use Exception" is exactly why he built the thing in the first place. Makes sense as a form of protest against ridiculous DD restrictions. On another note it is utterly absurd (and wonderful).

      neutered coyote

      It probably was a dog, the couple of females that I have spotted were way bigger than we have out west, could easily be confused with mutt and vice versa. Anyone that would release a Coyote is disturbed.

      Boar!

      I was just looking into this, not sure if they are any good or not but there is a place in WV that offers canned boar hunts and it looks like you can use a spear. http://www.mountainmeadowhunting.com/index.html As I am looking to do this too if anyone can offer an opinion of this outfitter it...

      INFO on FNH Pistols ?

      I just bought one, love it. Hardly any recoil with 124's. About 400 rounds through it at this point, no problems yet. Oh, the only problem I had at first was that the mag spring is a little tight, easy fix though.

      Mystery Persian Mauser

      My father in law is originally from Iran, if you have a pic of the writing on the receiver he can translate. He said that if it is Iranian made it would say so on the receiver, he is a big fan of the Mauser action and I had no clue. I think the Aliparsa link has more info on the Iran made versions.
