    RIP Seals

    We'll never know the truth...but I hope they took a magazine worth of guys before they were done.

    Front stuffers and pumpkin slinger picture thread…

    I thought a side lock would be a pain to clean.....I was wrong. Some hot water and a bit of ballistol.....and done.

    Any original members here?

    I worked with one of Larry's pards when I was in Alaska. They definitely lack social skills....but they can shoot. Pretty sure scoring chicks is lower priority than gram pics with fish and spray painted guns.

    Which Heavy Duty Truck?

    I have a ram 5500 4x4, 2500 4x4 and a powerstroke excursion. I have a 6.7 ford at work. I don't like aluminum bodies and the awful turn radius of the ford. The 5500 4x4 is the obvious king of towing and stopping big loads. My best scale so far has been 38k and it was no issue. The 7.3...

    I can't even remember my original user name. It was back around 2010ish. I stayed away for quite a while because it just wasn't the same salty place.

    Howa thread size - options for reusing Savage threaded barrel

    Absolutely it matters. The depth of your action needs to be known to match to tenon. You could end up with a bolt that won't close....or worse yet, an unsupported chamber.

    Night Vision Scammed in PX - SOP for this?

    My daughter got burned on a deal. I used my channels and tracked the perp down by calling his family and explaining that I want my daughter's money back or I will be pressing charges. My guy was the son of a US district attorney and it got pretty sporty until junior (27 y/o basement dweller)...

    Question: Will a small base die increase speed, and will neck turning affect speed?

    With 15 firings being the beginning of your clicks, did you ever section a case and see if brass flow is an issue? If it's not a carbon ring....this is where I would look next.

    Gunsmithing Removing engraving, Stainless Colt Commander

    I've hit similar messes with a surface grinder then skimmed the length to match. You end up with the portion behind the serrations 90* to the slide grind....but it can look good....and it can always be dusted in glass to blend.

    Gunsmithing Too short for headstock

    If you dig around you'll find Les Brooks documenting building a rifle on a 7x12" lathe on the tail gate of his pickup while living in a motor home. He was an instructor at Trinidad state and quite talented. He did some impressive stuff with very little.

    Gunsmithing Too short for headstock

    A viper style action jig would hold a short barrel if you're not greedy with the feeds. I'd skip measuring off of stuff unless the stuff is the barrel. Grab a long reach stylus and rock on.

    Gunsmithing Anyone ever seen this before (Savage)

    Looks like the scope base screws were still in the action or they were installed on top of glass bead and pushed into the threads....that's my guess on the shanked shank.

    What is up with the Narcan commercials

    We wouldn't need narcan if they'd just let us buy drug dealer tags. I'd have a tree stand over a pile of bike frames and be curing America of it's dilemma.

    Front stuffers and pumpkin slinger picture thread…

    While not as old as most here, this is my 100k serial tc hawken with target sights I installed. I built this wedge for quick elevation stops and it works like magic. I scribe the wedge once I validate the load and range. I am very repeatable at 300yards and before long should be solid into the...

    Prefit barrels, and how the barrels are indicated during manufacture

    Once you've dialed a few to the tenths....you can appreciate the effort required. I'm curious how many cnc shops just touch off and let it eat without a fixture like the tbas.

    Just .243 handloads, I know, boring.

    How's the br shoot the vmax at 300? They aren't the slickest pills around. How much of the group is horizontal dispersion?
