    Gunsmithing Where to get oddball taps

    Can anyone give me a source to purchase a couple oddball through hole taps ? I need a #3-20 tpi and #3-24 tpi tap to complete restoration of a couple Civil War era firearms. I assume it will have to be a custom job... sometimes staying 100% original is hard :-) Thanks,

    do we have a divorce lawyer in the house?

    Re: do we have a divorce lawyer in the house? Expect to come out of it with your balls and your toothbrush and still feel you won and you'll have aquired the correct frame of mind. That "lets be civil" talk generally only lasts until her first sit down with a lawyer. That's when she will...

    Russian Film Clip - Movie - WW2 Female Snipers

    This YouTube user made a short clip from a popular Russian movie. The film was about Russia's female snipers in WW2. Unlike what we would expect here in a movie regarding this subject, instead of big tits and sex their latest films are pretty much fact based. This clip was part of the movie...

    Hug Your Puppies!....and give them a treat!

    Re: Hug Your Puppies!....and give them a treat! What he said ^^^^^ Blindly feeding "grocery store" food to a dog is akin to setting up your new GAP rifle with a $20 scope. Sure natural "good" dog food is expensive... but you will make up for the cost with a healthy dog with few Vet bills and...

    Re: Lost a fellow deputy & a good friend today Sorry for your loss. It always seems so unfair when a good person dies so unexpectedly, especially at a young age. Seems to happen that way all too often these days... just like with high school athletes. We've had two teenagers drop dead...
