    Gunsmithing Mossberg 500 locking on fired shell

    I have a model 500 that has been serving me faithfully for 16 years now. Lately though I've been noticing that after certain firings, the pump locks up and won't remove the spent shell until i really pull on it. If I push the slide release on a loaded shell it releases smooth as butter, and if...

    New shotgun - Weatherby SA-08 or Mossberg 930

    I'm looking to get my first semi auto shotgun and I've narrowed it down to 2. Trying to get opinions on both to see what you think. Budget is $500 firm, no saving up for the super black eagle 2 with satellite trajectory or something stupid. These 2 guns, or same price. The purpose is going to be...

    Couple of days to kill in Sedona

    As far as restaurants go, try the Javelina Cantina. Amazing Mexican food and great tequila plus most of the time you can watch the animals for which its named. Order their Carne asada, mouth watering just remembering it. Also, don't let the hippies infect you. There's also a really cool wood...

    Hunting & Fishing Clear answer in regards to pelts

    So I've been searching Google for the better part of the afternoon trying to find a clear cut answer and I'm not coming up with anything. An elderly gentleman has asked me to try and sell 2 red fox pelts for him. My first question is if the hides have been tanned are there any licenses required...

    Hunting & Fishing Northern Arizona Fishing

    I haven't wet a line in 4+ years, and just recently came across some pictures from my surf fishing days in California. I used to be able to just drive down to the beach, throw some Berkley Gulp sand worms or some live ghost shrimp on a hook and be on fish in 20 minutes or less. Now, I'm living...

    Gunsmithing AR-15 Stripped Lower Assembly - What Gives?

    Thank you for the replies. As far as where to get the receiver, my local shop had 1 sitting on the shelf so I was able to buy it from them. I thought maybe I was hanging up on the detent, so I took the spring and detent out, and the pin won't even start the hole. The rear take down pin goes...

    Gunsmithing AR-15 Stripped Lower Assembly - What Gives?

    So I picked up a Spike's Tactical stripped lower, and ordered a Rock River Arms lower parts kit for it from Rainier Arms. It showed up in the mail today, so I ran home and started to put it together. Everything went together nice and smooth, up until I got to the front takedown pin/pivot pin...

    Maggie’s Epic military photos

    I've been quietly enjoying these pictures, thank you all for posting them, but this one was posted and I just have to ask. If the majority of the underside of the plane is smooth, why is there one small dent in the bottom by the US symbol(the star in the circle)? Looks like someone landed too...

    My 300RUM Build

    Let me/us know how that mag works for you when you start playing with loads. You measured 3.55 with a .2 gap for a total of 3.75. The load that I have worked up for my RUM is a 230 grain Berger seated 20 thousandths off the lands, and the COAL measures 3.830. I don't know if the long heavy...

    Accuracy nodes...More than one??

    In with Mtncreek, I havent seen different seating depths give me accuracy nodes, but I've only gone from 10 thou to 50 thou off the lands. Rifle likes em longer. Now I have seen nodes appear at two different charge weights. I got a nice accuracy node at 79 grains, but it was too slow for my...

    Norma mrp

    I have read the same thing as what Turbo said, it's supposed to be relatively the same thing. The only difference that I've heard is that MRP is supposed to have tighter manufacturing tolerances than RL-22 does. I have been searching everywhere for RL-25 to shoot my 300 RUM with the Berger 230...

    Gunsmithing 8-40 scope base hole is stripped. Now what?

    Is he hard up for cash or just a cheap dumbass? If he's hard up for cash right now, make him an old world deal. Take the $50 bucks now, and tell him to bring buy some of his wife's tamales or pot pies or whatever the next couple months. Food is so damn expensive these days, that having a few...

    Bad out of the box

    Can we add Rooney to the urban dictionary website? Under the definition there would be "See also:Fraud" and Verb tense: Rooneyed. EG- You got Rooneyed on that deal my friend

    Which rifle would you "Pull out all the stops" to buy?

    Not long ago, someone posted a video of a 338 Norma MG being fired. That would be my choice. I was awe-struck.

    Receivers only ?

    I don't know about the model 7's, but Bruno's Shooter Supply has the Remington 700 long and short actions in stock right now. I don't believe they're trued. There is a dealer out of Washington or Oregon that sells them fully trued, but that name escapes me right now. I think they're a Hide...

    Real basic questions

    I don't know about your other questions, but as far as depriming, I de-prime before tumbling so the media cleans up the primer pockets for me. This is on 300 RUM that I'm trying to be somewhat precise with

    CCW Class Complete . . . Feeling Not So Great About Things

    In my CC class, half the classroom time was spent advertising their more "serious" courses at 1500 dollars per person and then the rest of the time was rushing through material so fast that there was no chance to retain it. From there we spent 5 minutes on the range, fired 10 rounds each, and...
