    First on scene at a plane crash yesterday...

    Re: First on scene at a plane crash yesterday... God bless you son! It restores my faith in the citizens of this great country to see that we've not ALL been transformed into helpless sheep waiting for someone in a Government uniform to tell us what to do. Good show! Jim...

    AICS spigot dimensions...

    Hello fellow rifle cranks! Have a new AICS stock for a rifle I'm slowly completing. Am going to make my own spigot adapted to the Atlas clamp mount. Would any of you care to help me with dimension of the spigot? I would love to know the length, diameter, and distance from the end at which...

    Gunsmithing learned a good lesson today for sure

    Re: learned a good lesson today for sure Okay, I'll add to the pile... Had a Douglas XX blank marked ".30 10" . Perfect for the .30-'06 I planned to build. I spent considerable time turning the contour to just what I wanted, then came time to select a bushing for my Grizzly rod to get the...

    Hunting & Fishing Snattle Rakes

    Re: Snattle Rakes Poor ol' croatalus! Snakes have their place. Can't tolerate them around the house the dog or the kids of course, but they sure keep down the rodents. Most folks in this part of the country will run over any snake they see on the road. Most are gopher snakes, but they...

    GAP crusader vs hospitaller?

    Re: GAP crusader vs hospitaller? Count me in as another Crusader driver. It's just superb in every way, but it is heavier than I would care to hunt with. As Greg said, these Gap rifles will pretty much ruin you for future satisfaction with any factory product. Cheers... Jim

    Gunsmithing How to make it as a Gunsmith

    Re: How to make it as a Gunsmith I happen to know one of the best pistolsmiths in the country. He has a big shop, with quite a few very talented smiths on his team. He also manufactures some superb custom replacent parts which are sold in large numbers all over the country. So you might say...

    Gunsmithing Question on pad under barrel

    Re: Question on pad under barrel Seems as if an easy way to test would be by using a chassis such as the McRees. Fabricate a floating pad of steel or aluminum, perhaps with a bit of leather or heavy tape on the barrel contact surface, and then drill and tap for a couple of jacking screws to...

    Kentucky

    Re: Kentucky In my opinion, a kit can be more trouble than starting a scratch build. You're stuck with the stock blank in the condition you receive it, and I've seen them pretty badly warped. Also, you can't put wood back on, and there may be areas where you'll want to make changes in style...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly G0709

    Re: Grizzly G0709 Grizzly has a very good referral program. Call them and ask if there is someone in your area who is already running this lathe. I did so way back when, and Grizzly connected me with a fellow just a couple miles down the road. I was able to look at the milling machine I had...

    Gunsmithing Question on Tikka actions

    Re: Question on Tikka actions If you're running a stock rifle, you're also feeding from poly magazines, which generate lower friction as the top round is stripped. I had a Tikka Varmint in .223, which is now the wife's. It's an amazing rifle for the price, and I wouldn't pull the factory...

    Movie Theater Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter

    Re: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter Just watched it. Wasn't looking for "To Kill a Mockingbird," just wanted an hour and a half of diversion. I thought the film was great! It was nicely filmed and had a good look about it. I thought the entire burning trestle bit was a little over the top...

    Cryo treatment of 91/30

    Re: Cryo treatment of 91/30 Okay, I suppose all experimentation enriches the mind, and I know I'm being a horses' ass here, but I rather suspect all of these wartime Mosins have seen quite enough cold already. Why not keep it in military trim and see how well you can shoot it as issued...

    Voodoo packs?

    Re: Voodoo packs? The VooDoo gear is really quite good! I sell a lot of it, and yes, we see the occasional problem, but the ratio of defects is very small. Best part, my rep from VooDoo says, "Just hand 'em a new replacement, and I'll credit you." The company is very anxious to build their...

    Pac-Man loses to Bradly!?!

    Wow! Talk about an unexpected outcome! Yes, Manny looked like he was cruising a little, but I can't believe the judges were actually watching the fight. Got to hand it to Manny, he accepted the surprising decision like a gentleman and man of faith. So, anybody else watch the fight? Cheers...

    Re: Tubbs brake install. Looks like very fine work! I'm curious about your spider chuck. How is it mounted to the D1-4 (?) spindle head? Thanks for sharing! Cheers... JIm
