    Joe Biden Told Barack Obama He Will Run in 2024 to Defeat Trump

    Sure the Pretendent 'n Thief will run. A virtual/zoom campaign from his basement with plenty of bots in attendance. Way to go Dementia (non compus mentis) Joe! Dominion beats human voters every time.

    Gunsmithing 700 bolt lugs , weld and refit to action ?

    In the blueprinting class we NEVER welded on the bolt lug. As others point out, you're going to compromise the bolt's integrity. When the bolt was coverted from the Rem extractor to a Sako type extractor, the bolt was cut first to remove the rim that retained the Rem extractor and a collar...

    This girl just screams firearms expert doesn't she?

    DarnYankeeUSMC raises a good point. I've heard elsewhere she wasn't on the set when it happened and besides working as an armorer, she was given duties other than that of an armorer. Both does matter with respects to her culpability. I've also heard that they had live ammo with which they...

    This girl just screams firearms expert doesn't she?

    Family connections. Must be osmosis. She's wasn't present and should not to be blamed for it. Derivation from accepted industry standards b/c AB wanted to cheap out production is at fault. If anyone should be blamed, it's AB and his negligent handling and wilful disregaard for the basic...

    Left Hand rifle vs adjusting to standard (right)

    You can't do it? The historical documentary Saving Ryan's Privates has the actor doing it. To each his own. I'm a southpaw and left eye dominant. I've some left handed bolts but it doesn't bother me to use a right handed bolt on my left shoulder. It is what it is. BTW, there's a WW 2...

    Live Trapping Beavers?

    Fur trade era trappers put the trap in the pond. Then they shove a stick into the ground with the tip over the area of the trap. Beaver musk is applied to the tip of the stick. The beaver tries to stand up to sniff the tip of the stick, getting their rear paw caught in the trap. Afterward...

    Im joining the military

    Unless you've already been through one branch's basic training, I don't see how you can avoid boot camp. I think the recruiter is FoS too but good luck to you.

    Tokarev SVT 40

    400 yards was about the max the Soviet snipers would try with their scoped SVT-40s. The M91/30 was slower (for follow-up shots) but was accurate at longer distances.

    Left Hand rifle vs adjusting to standard (right)

    Think right hander using left handed bolt. Faster shooting since you don't have to re-establish your grip. Since the grip isn't released, the gun also remains on target.

    Left Hand rifle vs adjusting to standard (right)

    Raipd operation of the bolt. Dominant right hand remains on the pistol grip and non dominant left hand operates the bolt.

    Can you tell us anything about WW II sniping by the Italians? Unlike WW 1, I don't think they made any scoped rifles for WW 2. What happened to the scoped M95 that Hungary gave to Italy as reparations? All scraped?

    Gew 98 custom? What do I have?

    Remove the extractor and then check it with a .243 go-gauge. If it won't close, then I'd chamber cast it. If it is .243, then the chamber may need some light polishing. You could also slug the bore with pure lead to confirm the diameter.
