    Home school curriculum

    From what I have read, the state requirements vary, so it would be best if you could talk to someone local in your state what is available and how it is regulated. There is a National Home school association. One of my friends home schooled in Illinois. His wife taught his kids most of the...

    feedback on replacement stock for Ruger American

    I have the oryx stock on a ruger american predator that I had PVA barrel put on to convert it to a 22 creedmoor from a 6 mm creedmoor. The rifle shoots well and no issues with the stock itself. I have had issues with MDT's ACIS magazines (poly) feeding in this gun. The poly mags also would...

    Hunters First to Die from "Zombie Deer" Disease

    The NRA had a 4 part series on CWD in deer back in the early 2000's in the Hunter magazine. Talks about the federal government studies around fort collins ,CO where they were researching this in deer (CWD), elk, sheep, cattle (mad cow). I wish I had saved those as a reference. I think I...

    Question (potentially ignorant) on barrel swaps between two Ruger American Predators (.308 / 6.5cm

    ok, so you are just switching barrels on the 2 guns, my mistake. I thought that you had ordered a PVA barrel as well. Why not reuse the Ruger barrel nut then?

    Gunsmithing Recommendations for best cleaning chemicals - bonus if non-toxic

    I am using brake cleaner now on my AR to get the carbon out, as well as my pistol barrels. Dissolves it (carbon) faster than anything else I have tried. Once carbon is out use Butch'es bore shine to clean the barrels themselves. Still use sweets to get the copper out. Have switched to FMO...

    Maggie’s Compact tractor advice.

    You might be better off with a sickle bar mower. Depending on the size of the rocks you are dealing with, the larger ones (5in in diameter and greater) the bar would go over without any damage. The smaller rocks 2 in and below could knock some of the cutter (sickle) out, but only about a 3...

    MDT send it level question

    I do have another thought, check to see if your battery is making good contact. Perhaps if it loosened up during a recoil event it might be doing what you are seeing.

    MDT send it level question

    I have one and it have not had any issues with it, I am running it with the factory setting as well. Give them a call, sounds like you need to send yours back to have it fixed.

    Question (potentially ignorant) on barrel swaps between two Ruger American Predators (.308 / 6.5cm

    https://www.littlecrowgunworks.com/store1/Ruger-American-Lock-Ring-Wrench-LRW-p106089776 I suggest getting this to break the original barrel nut off, not that you are planning on using the original barrel later on, it just makes it easier than using a pipe wrench. Only thing about this tool is...

    Auto Help needed near Williams, AZ

    How bad did the hose blow out? You are 38 miles to flagstaff. I had to fix a radiator hose that "blew" once. The hole was about 1/4 inch long. Wrapped electrical tape around hole and then cut up a mountain dew can wrapped around the hose centered around the hole and used the rest of the tape...

    Ruger Precision rifle sling

    https://www.amazon.com/qd-sling-swivels/s?k=qd+sling+swivels I mounted a keymod qd sling swivel on the hand guard for mine. If you have a later version it comes with the Mlok slots.

    Hornady 6.5CM Bulge?

    It looks more like it is showing that you are going to have case head separation pretty soon. How much has the brass grown between firing? You may be bumping the shoulder back too far. Take a paper clip with a slight bend in it and run it down the inside of the case. You are feeling for a...

    I'm done with Tyson foods.......

    IBP took over the plant in the late 80's, and from what I remember, they broke the Union at that time, at least according to the locals that use to work at the plant. IBP was known for doing that (dismantling the Unions) although I believe that of the plants they had, about 25% had Union labor...

    I'm done with Tyson foods.......

    Well, this plant is actually a pork processing plant that is being shut down. You are assuming that Tyson does not already hire illegals in this plant, which is not a very good assumption. Here is one of the employees discussing the closure. I grew up about 5 miles from there on a farm, and...

    2K to 3K Budget Rifle Seekins, Tikka, Solus, MPA

    PVA is offering the solus action with their barrels. I got a barrel for a ruger american in a 22 creedmoor from them and it is sub MOA now. https://patriotvalleyarms.com/solus-barreled-action/ Only thing you would need to do is chose a chassis to put it in.

    Devil Dog needs guidance on 7mm STW

    Well, the only thing I see for ammo, using ammo seek, is 168 gr bergers, and 140 gr Remington core loks, ( @ 6 to $7 dollars a round ) and it has been that way for a couple of months, so I would be interested in knowing where you picked up some Nosler. As far as brass goes, all of my usual...

    Best round that is cost effective to reload

    My Dad originally got into reloading back in the late 1940's because the ammo available was not loading the bullets that worked best on the game he was shooting. It really wasn't because of the cost itself. Also, some of the calibers that he and I shot were discontinued for some years (220...
