    Disabled Members - How Do You Cope?

    Depression is the silent stalker. And a word of warning: if you tell a psychiatrist in this age of enlightened medicine that you are depressed AND own firearms, there's a good chance you will lose them, and possibly be iinvoluntarily committed. The DSMV for psychiatry is an abomoination of a...

    USPS not always at fault.

    I'm with this one. My UPS driver is so fat he can BARELY get in and out of the truck. One say I watched him heave a package 10 feet onto my porch so he wouldn't have to walk his lard ass any further. Scared the hell out of him when I opened the door and shouted "Hey, Chief, you reckon that...

    Last Navajo Code Talker Passes Away

    They deserve it more than most. They were human Enigma Machines with guns pointed at them from both sides, yet they served with distinction a country they arguably could have told to "forget it". God Bless them all; they are few, if any, to whom we owe a greater debt. Sent from my iPad...

    Suppressors Rotary Baffles - Opinions, Has It Been Done, Is it worth the effort

    OK, ordered a set of sealed bearings designed to be used in hot and corrosive environments with a 7/16" ID. This project is moving ahead. It will have a blast baffle/brake with a static end plate in front of it and 4 rotating baffles. Next step is sourcing the turbines to be used for the...

    Mystery Winchester Model 70 Action

    Barrel is 26". Screw holes seem to match Long Action; in fact, it seems to be as long as a regular Win70 LA. This rifle came with a complete set of Redfield Palma Type irons and hand guard. Only thing missing is one of those strappy jackets, Michael Jackson Glove, and Mad Scientists...

    Mystery Winchester Model 70 Action

    A few years back I acquired a Winchester Model 70 rifle from my local shop's used rack at a very good price, then promptly put it into the back of my safe while I dealt with other projects. Today, I got around to pulling it out. It is a match rifle, with irons, Palma type rear, globe front...

    Cannot Bump Shoulder in FL Resizing Die

    Let me toss in a silly suggestion: if it has never been done, have the headspace checked on the gun. I have seen a lot of factory guns, not to mention a few guns by well known gunsmiths, with chambers drilled too deep. Now, having said that, if you can accommodate the chambering with...

Everyday I get up and grit my teeth and try to do something to make my life seem worthwhile, but most days are a a struggle...

    Range Report New 30cal magnum?

    Awesome analysis. When I start thinking this deep, I stick (DELETED) grains of XMR31000 in some cases, slip in a few Sierra 240s to give 2900 fps and go see what callled hits I can make out to 1300 yds from my friend's hayloft...at least I used to... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Range Report New 30cal magnum?

    A few things to consider in making a bigger badder cartridge in any caliber. We'll talk 30 cal since that's the topic at hand. Downstairs above my loading bench is a 30-378 WBY cartridge loaded with a Sierra 250 gr ( initially, they were 250 grains, but were so thin in the ogive they would...

    Range Report Crippled Old Guy Shoots .375 CT For first time

    DTA 352gr Cutting Edge @105 yds. Took me a few rounds to get about halfway ahold of this beast - had to set up new rest so the gun would sit at a natural point of aim. Can't get directly behind gun because of neck injury - won't bend that way. Its a start. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    In the end, the problem ends up being the most common problem in gunsmithing - a loose nut behind the stock. After further testing, it turns out the mount is fine and properly installed, Upon inspecting the rifle at the range next trip out, I discovered the left front corner of the scope base...

    Suppressors Rotary Baffles - Opinions, Has It Been Done, Is it worth the effort

    Well, not exactly, A suppressor is an energy conversion device, changing acoustic energy into heat. The cans with turbine baffles that do not move do absolutely create a lot of turbulence, a great way to convert sound to heat; now, if those turbines could also rotate/spin, now you have added...
