    Re: EDM XM408, does the serial #, show its age? And... Not sure how this matters? Why do you need to know the date of manufacture? His rifles have always been well made. If they wear out (wouldn't happen) than you only need to change the barrel and bolt. SUPER SIMPLE. That is the nice thing...

    Email from the Giffords asking for support

    Re: Email from the Giffords asking for support They never want to address the problem. Just a divert blame. If I lost a family member to drinking and driving I would never blame the car or truck that was involved. It is a personal responsibility issue plain and simple but the gun control side...

    About to lose my best friend

    Re: About to lose my best friend So sorry. I went through the same thing a few years back with my GSD. I will not tell you it gets better. What I can tell you is that unless you pick a parrot or a turtle they just don't live as long as we do. You have to think of it that way. Dogs have a...

    off topic electrical engineer question

    Re: off topic electrical engineer question Just to jump in here first. There is no such thing as perpetual motion. Doesn't happen. Energy is never lost but it is not created from nothing. If I had to guess (and I am going to) inside that piece of wood he has the other side of those nails...

    Range Report bullet imperfections - what do I do with this?

    Re: bullet imperfections - what do I do with this? You could get all wrapped around the wheel but they will shoot just fine. If you don't have any dope set for those all you really need to do is make them all uniform with a file. Flat top the lead. If you want to get real anal you could weigh...

    Wash DC man shoots dog

    Re: Wash DC man shoots dog Maybe some of the legal eagles can correct me here. Isn't it legal for a felon to be in possession of a firearm "if" it is when in imminent threat of life or the protection of others? I don't mean carrying but just in possession at the time of threat. <div...

    Why are we buying up all the ammo???

    Re: Why are we buying up all the ammo??? I certainly can't beat that answer but here in Kalifornia ammo restrictions are commonplace. Just try to get a 5.7 pistol in this lovely state. There are bills coming through to restrict ammo purchases to under 499 rounds, no Internet sales of ammo...

    [video] Dillon vs. Midway tumblers

    Re: [video] Dillon vs. Midway tumblers Really like my Dillon. If it does not work they have the best warranty in the biz. That being said if I didn't have one already I would invest in SS media and tumbler. I am working on building my own machine right now.

    What is he best reloading kit for the money?

    Re: What is he best reloading kit for the money? That is kinda' like asking "what is the best car to buy?" You need to specify a price range and what you will be loading for.

    Ruger...Take Action

    Re: Ruger...Take Action Ruger had caved during the first AWB so I am surprised that they are going this route. They must feel the heat from investing in the AR market and the potential of a MUCH more substantial ban coming.
