    Gunsmithing Two Piece Bases not true. Short Action 700

    Re: Two Piece Bases not true. Short Action 700 I have seen guys lap bases in lieu of bedding them. Could this method be used on the rear base to bring it in with the front? I was never a fan of shims. I hear a lot of mixed answers on lapping rings. Some say the higher quality rings don't need...

    Gunsmithing VFD on a lathe?

    Re: VFD on a lathe? Its been a good miute since I did any kinda electrical work. The VFDs I am use to working with were all for 3ph stuff and were in the $8k and up price range. There was a hospital that had a single phase speed controller on an exhaust fan. I learned on that job that if you...

    Gunsmithing Rail bedding/ action bedding

    Re: Rail bedding/ action bedding Sounds like a chicken or the egg question. It doesn't matter. The whole purpose of bedding is to reduce/eliminate stress. So if you bed the action correctly, torque it in place properly, then correctly bed the rail, no stress will have been produced. Same...

    Steroid injections for neck injury.

    Well I am day one after the steroid injections to treat 2 herniated disks in at the C4-5 and C5-6. Sedated and done under X-ray, don't remember a damn thing. So, the first thing is an ever so slight headache that radiated up the back of my neck. The occasional ache and pain, injection site is a...

    Former LEO gone crazy in SoCal

    Re: Former LEO gone crazy in SoCal Oh goodie!!! Its been pretty bland around here with all the gun control posts and all. Now anyone looking for a reason to piss on any and all LEOs just got something long overdue. I might as well just jump in with the rest of the flock and shit on them too...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns SHTF holster?

    Re: SHTF holster? For SHTF, it really doesn't matter. If you feel that the holster you use to carry now is good enough, why wouldn't it be if things go south? Of coarse, if you don't carry, I can see the point in your question. Then you need to consider, are you going to carry open or...

    STANDOFF is over dykes is dead!

    Re: STANDOFF is over dykes is dead! I am very pleased with the outcome of this. As a parent, I could not imagine the uncertainty that this childs parents felt. Lets just hope this doesn't mess the kid up too badly for the rest of his life. Although, I will put money down, within a year...

    Jimmy Lee Dykes

    This scumbag. I hope and pray that he, those like him and those that support him, earn their place in Hell! This man has a seat reserved somewhere in the same row as Adam Lanza, James Holmes and Wade Page. What could possess a man to do what this less-than-human piece of shit, is doing to a...

    This is why our nation is falling apart...

    Re: This is why our nation is falling apart... WYcoyote, I think he meant Maser's comment about the commercial being corny. Only thing I'd change about the commercial it the fact its a Dodge. Sorry Mopar-lovers, I'd take a GMC/Chevy 3500HD. Back on the topic...I think anyone born after...

    178 AMAX and 178 BTHP

    So, my "go to" loads for my 06 has been the 178 AMAX over 58.5gr of H4350, or 59.5gr RL22. Either load gets me the same accuracy, I seat about .010 off the lands. I picked up a box of the 178 Match BTHPs and I was curious what how much of a difference folks are seeing with this. Any...

    What was the '94 ban like?

    Re: What was the '94 ban like? I was 15 when it went into effect. Growing up in NJ really didn't make a difference when it expired. I purchased my first pistol in 2005. It was kind of a limbo period where NJ didn't have much state restrictions on mag capacity and the 94 ban was no longer in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Try before you judge.

    Re: Try before you judge. Its not so much a problem with them, I have to qualify twice a year with a G22. Its mediocre at best for me. As a lefty, bone stock Glocks just arent something that will work. I have at times hit the mag release inadvertenly, out of the box, they just arent...

    Most Shooter-friendly States?

    Re: Most Shooter-friendly States? You can add Nevada to the list. CCW is a shall issue, open carry in 99% of the state. CCW has got way better than it was, much less restrictive. Plus, there is no shortage of places to shoot. Its just embarassing that Dirty Harry Reid is from here.

    Journal News "Journalist" about to be on Hannity.

    Re: Journal News "Journalist" about to be on Hannity. I couldnt believe that piece of shit actually felt the need to use the First Amendment to blanket the actions of the Journal News. "Something good will come of this." You better fucking hope so.

    Journal News "Journalist" about to be on Hannity.

    I just turned on the tube to Hannity and they just said one of the so called journalists from The Journal, the news agency responsible for the map of gun owners. This should be interesting. This is the first I have seen one of these worms crawl out of the mud since they published it.
