Re: I bought a Singer When I first saw the post I thought; "Wow, this guy was lucky enough to find, and afford to purchase a rare "Singer" 1911... Good Shooting, Jim,

Hey there, Just wondering if any of you on the "Hide" have any recommendations for high quality, foul weather parkas. I am leaning toward the 3 in 1 layering variety, but am interested in other opinions as well. They should be multi-cam, but O/D green will do. I would like to see at least...

Re: Remington Extractor Problem... This morning my blood pressure and frustration level were down so I went to work on the extractor. A little bit of cautious beveling and polishing and the extractor works just fine. A little bluing to clean up the areas I hit with the stone and I'm all...

Re: Remington Extractor Problem... Thanks for the advice guys. Now that my blood pressure is down a bit and the chest pain has subsided, I can head back out to the shop and give it another go. I think some additional beveling and polishing of the hook area may be the way to go. Thanks...

I am having one-hell-of-a-time installing a simple "old style" riveted, Remington extractor. I have done dozens of these with little difficulty, this one, however, is giving me chest pain! These come with two rivets. I opened the package and immediately lost one, then the extractor itself flew...

Re: best outside the waist belt holster for 1911 I have carried in a Mernickle PS-6 for some time now and find that it is the best concealment holster I have owned for a 1911 pistol. http://mernickleholsters.com/ps/bwcc_6a.html I offset the weight of the pistol on my right hip with a...

Re: Minox Optics... k2peaker & MinorDamage, Thanks so much for the reply on the quality of the Minox optics. I have never seen them in my area and I am very curious as to their quality, as they are apparently German made glass, which is usually very good, and I am in need of a good spotter...

I am curious as to the relative quality of Minox Optics. I am in the market for a new spotting scope and was leaning heavily towards Pentax, but I have found a fair deal on a Minox MD 62 with an angled eyepiece. If this is quality glass, it is going to be several hundred dollars less expensive...

Re: Another miserable experience with Botach Many thanks for the heads-up, I was just about to order a Maxpedition "Black Bear" laptop case from Botach! I'll find another source. Good Shooting, Jim

Re: Ballistic F.T.E. & 1st Gen. i-Touch.... Thanks guys, I'll see what happens when I plug that iTouch into the 'puter and go to the iTunes store. Hopefully, it will work out. Thanks again, Jim

Re: Ballistic F.T.E. & 1st Gen. i-Touch.... Pete, Were you able to have the O.S. in your 1st Gen iTouch changed over to the newer O.S? If that is an option, I will have to take a drive over to the Apple store. Thanks, Jim

Re: Ballistic F.T.E. & 1st Gen. i-Touch.... Iggy, I appreciate your response, and I think I will just have to purchase a new device to take advantage of this software. One of my kids will probably be able to use the old device for a while, so it won't go to waste. I will use this version...

Re: Ballistic F.T.E. & 1st Gen. i-Touch.... I figured someone here would have had some ideas on this software, given the number of posts surrounding it's use among those here on the site. I e-mailed the developer and have not heard back from him yet. I'm sure he is a busy guy. Perhaps...

I have a question regarding "Ballistic F.T.E" and the first generation i-Touch, which did not appear to be covered under the search function of this forum. I was recently given a first gen. i-touch by a friend who no longer had a use for it. I purchased the Ballistic F.T.E. application and my...

Re: Sharp Shooter Supply Trigger Question... Chris, Sounds as though you have had a similar experience. I was really looking for a more...elegant mechanical solution, but I guess Scotch Tape would work. Thanks. Good Shooting, Jim

Just the other day I took a rifle out of the safe to do a bedding job on it. When I removed the barreled action from the stock, I noticed shiny wear marks on the top of the bottom metal, then noticed the trigger pin was half-way out of the trigger housing. Looks as if it had been that way for...
