Uh oh

[btroj]

I was just at the range and heard rumors that the Cerebrus group has purchased the rights to sell loob grooves and they are gonna discontinue production.

I suggest you get yours now, prices are sure to skyrocket soon.

I have a bunch on hand now, not really a hoard but a size able collection.

Don't say nobody warned you!

[snuffy]

I keep gathering the extras that accumulate around my lee sizer die. So they can discontinue production whenever they want!:kidding::groner:

[smokeywolf]

Perhaps we should pool our resources and buy all their tooling and patents.:kidding:

I believe the rumor is false Brad. I happen to know that all Loob Grooves are manufactured in a highly secretive facility located at Doe Squat, MT. Not to be confused with the infamous Doe Run Lead mine of recent news. Maybe that's where the rumor originated.

I do understand that there is substantial interest held by and considerable backing for the manufacture of Loob Grooves by the "Clan McGreggor", not the Cerebrus Group.

Rumors come and rumors go, but not to worry when your in the know!

[starmac]

I hear the currant manufacturer of the lube grooves, sold out for enough to retire, and will no longer be a moderator. lol

[wlc]

Loob grooves gone!!!! Oh my!!! Gonna have to start hoarding my supply. If I start trying to sell them in the S&S for 10 times what I paid for them will folks think me a gouger????

Since there will be no lead and since loob grooves are made from a lack of lead we can now have all of the loob grooves we desire. Never again will there be a shortage of loob grooves unless they re-open Doe Run.

Can you have loob grooves without a boolit?

I pose this question- which came first, the boolit or the groove?

Ponder on that one Rick....

[cbrick]

Doesn't matter. Happy days are here, FREE loob grooves for everybody. [smilie=2:

Rick

[btroj]

Bit you can't have a groove if the boolit doesn't exist.

Would someone please call the resident loob groove expert for an opinion here.

Nonsense! I bought a whole box of loob grooves. Feller said until you fill them with lube they'll fit most any boolit. Just cut em to size. I got em without the boolits to save on shipping. Bulk loob grooves weigh almost nothing.

[bhn22]

Everything in moderation guys.

[btroj]

Were those grooves cut from boolits?

[CastingFool]

Were those grooves cut from boolits?
naw, they were outsourced from China!

[btroj]

Are they metric?

[runfiverun]

china made loob grooves?
jeez, this is worse than then I thought.
maybe that's why I had problems with the SL-60 series of lubes.

[Mal Paso]

Were those grooves cut from boolits?

Don't think so. Fella said it was new material not pull downs. Hard to tell though. Think I might need another tool to put them on.

[btroj]

Yeah, the SL series originated in Tejas, that would make it a natural enemy of anything made in China.

Dude, you have a major problem.

[JSnover]

I make my own. It's rather time-consuming as I was unable to reverse-engineer waksupi's process, but I'm able to produce enough to satisfy my needs. You need a lathe, some freeze-dried compressed air and an inverted boolit mold.

[btroj]

I don't have a lathe. I was gonna get one but I was to lathy to follow thru.

[R.Ph. 380]

Nonsense! I bought a whole box of loob grooves. Feller said until you fill them with lube they'll fit most any boolit. Just cut em to size. I got em without the boolits to save on shipping. Bulk loob grooves weigh almost nothing.Now I know you don't have to have a FFL 6 or 7 to make loob grooves, but can you export them without paying the ITAR fees? Has anyone got any of that camo loob to go in the loob grooves? Mine's wearing a little thin and you can just about see my grooves again. They're too hard to put away if you can still see them.

Bill

[btroj]

I would contact the ATF and ask about exportation. If nothing else they are easy to smuggle.....

[waksupi]

Gentlemen, gentlemen. Not to worry. I have simply sold the Swaziland distribution rights to the Cerebrus group for 4.5 billion dollars. They have to get them the same way as everyone else, in the order of date when the purchases are made, and put on permanent back order status.
The transaction is being handled by a member of a deposed Ethiopian royal family. I have sent him all of my back account numbers, and social security number to expedite the transaction. And my mothers maiden name, and my city of birth. And my first pet's name.

[Mal Paso]

Are they metric?

Geez! They aren't metric, standard or anything until you put them on. Bulk Loob Grooves are shipped in one solid block. Here's what they look like.

[farmerjim]

Those of us that Hi-Tek and PC don't need them. You can have all of mine for free, just pay shipping.

Ok that was a screen cleaner.....which is getting hard to find too! I had to go to the swap meet to find some last week.

[KYCaster]

Can you have loob grooves without a boolit?

I pose this question- which came first, the boolit or the groove?

Ponder on that one Rick....


Duuhhh............The boolit came first.

The first firearms were the blunderbus with tapered barrels so a rock of any size could be pushed into the barrel till it couldn't be pushed any farther.

In the early part of the 15th century, the Cartier family (later Americanized to Carter) discovered a method of applying a radial groove around a lead projectile, thereby creating the loob groove.

This discovery laid dormant for more than 300 years till the introduction of the metallic cartridge.

The rest is history!

"0 results found for boolit lube grooves"

It's obviously in code. I'm pretty good at this, let's see...

"0" is obviously a reference to Obama.
"results" must mean Congress, so if we put "0 results" together, it means Obama & Congress because the two of them together cancel each other out.
"found" is a synonym for "establish"
"for" has no synonyms, I suspect the NSA had their foul hand in this.
"boolit" also has no synonyms. But a bullet is a projectile.
"lube" is a reference to former President Clinton. Slick Willy.
"grooves" is the Secret Service code name for Monica Lewinsky.
But what does it mean?

[cbrick]

"0" is obviously a reference to Obama.

That should not be in purple. If there is anything in the universe that is a true absolute zero that's it right there.

Grooves is the secret service name for Lewinksy!

[dagger dog]

Well, I aced out for a change.

Fellow came by the other day selling prefab post holes, I got to doing some measurements on them and decided I could chuck 'em up in the lathe and turn 'em down to the calibers I'm casting for, so I bought a single axle load of them.

If y'all need some PM me and I'll ship them to ya. All you got to to do is pay shipping., and I can get 4-5,000 in a SFR box.

Oh, I did dye them black makes 'em easier to see but if you prefer a different color let me know .

Not to instill false hope but it my understanding that attorneys have found a flaw in the contract and we may be able to get loobs manufactured under
the title of lobe,lobes, loobes, loube, loubes and/or grouves, grooves etc.

I know the guy selling them, and you wouldn't want those.

His Daddy died and left him a backhoe which he is using to dig up the holes under old, abandoned outhouses.
He cuts those up into smaller ones that a fencepost fits snug in, but they all stink to high heaven.

As far as I know, they are only being used on hog farms ... in Israel.

Are potholes where you hide your pot?

[btroj]

No, they are holes in our pavement that increase profits at auto garages and body shops. The local government responds by throwing aphalt into the resulting reservoirs rather than stocking fish. I think they are missing the most on this as the recreation possibilities are endless. As a state with little open water these potholes could increase our fishing and boating opportunities tenfold.

For Nebraska, it makes sense.
