Lost the clip out of my 22 on my last armadillo hunt,  Remington 541S, they don't make them anymore.  The gun comes with a 5 shot clip that looks good, lost this one several years ago. The only ones available now are 10 shot which takes the streamlined good looks from the rifle. The magazine retainer spring is very weak in these rifles, this is why I have lost several in the woods.

I went back to where I thought I lost the clip, I was in the heat of the battle with a fleeing dilla at dusky dark. I used a top of the line Whites metal detector but couldn't find the dang thing.

I found a couple of the 10 round clips on Fleabay which surprised me, 541s rifles have been out of production since 1999.

After failing to find my clip I engaged the enemy for the rest of the evening, 4 dillas took a dirt nap before I went home.

Eric, Sorry to hear that about your clip. I hear armadillo is good eating. Ever try it? Why do you shoot them? Are they non-native/invasive to your area?

Hears my last two days. Last night we had the pinewood derby. My Tiger cub, 6yrs, took second in his den, 112.5mph average and my Bear cub, 9 yrs, took 4th in his den, about the same speed. Cooper my youngest was stoked to get a trophy fro something that he won rather than just participated in.  ;)

Today I took two of my welding students to the SkillsUSA competition and one took 3rd and one 8th out of 21 contestants. March 15 the 3rd place winner goes to state comp. Man I hope that isn't a 3D shoot weekend.

Have a gooder, dpg

Yep, non native invasive species, very destructive to food plots, root just about like a hog. No natural predators except me, their population will take a place over if they are not kept in check. Deer won't come around when they are footing about. No interest in eating one.

Yup...I've heard they can get that way.  Sounds fun! Good luck on finding a new clip. Bet there are a few out there still. Hope you find um.

Congratulations Derik for your sons and students! Bad news, the 15th is a shoot. Plenty of shoots left. Good luck to your student at State!

Pinewood Derby. That's what the score board says. 214.5 won over all. Maybe you can do the math. 2.4 seconds running, I think it was, a 40' track. ?? That's what the score board said. Now a days everything is computerized.

I was with ya there Pat  :o.  Thanks Derik for clearing that up.  Big difference in my mind between a soapbox and pinewood derby.  Your not riding in one of them.  ;D ;D

Eric- I believe there is a gun show at the fair ground in Muscle Shoals this weekend. You might find one there.

I won our district pinewood derby when I was in boy scouts. My brother won our local and I came 2-3rd. Can't remember. I beat him at district because his car jumped the track and wouldn't run as well the rest of the competition. I'm 28 now and still have my car.

I picked up a couple magazines off flea bay for my 541S, free shipping and about the same price as the ones I have seen at the gun show, they were delivered yesterday.

Busy week, water heater went a few weeks ago, heat pump a few days ago. I had trouble with my heat pump from day one(13 years ago) so I had a new one installed, my wallet took a pretty good hit.

I started getting my camper ready to go to the Spring Arrow Fling at Tannehill Park. I installed the fifth wheel hitch in my truck, B&W Hide-A-Ball, easy to remove and leaves me with a flat bed when it is out so I can use my truck to haul stuff. I have to pull my camper to my fix-it guy to correct a few problems before I put the monster on the road.

I am trying my best to figure a way to go to the Spring Fling again this year, Eric. I really enjoyed shooting the range with you last year. My son moved back from Gadsden, so no staying at his house. Maybe I will get lucky and find a way to get there again this year. I look forward to seeing you.

Well, don't laugh you guys, I am taking a sewing class this evening at Joann's Fabric. My late wife handled all the pants hemming and such, now that she is gone I need to learn how. Making period correct clothes for my flintlocking has crossed my mind as well.
