    Air rifle questions

    I have a Benjamin fortitude (shares a lot of marauder parts) it does eventually leak down over a period of months but it stays above the regulator pressure for a long time so it’s pretty serviceable, has claimed a lot of chipmunks. Pyramid air and air gun depot both occasionally sell refurbished...

    Sporter Mauser 98 25/06 pawn shop purchase

    Try posting this over in the vintage sniper rifles section, you’ll be more likely to have a Mauser fan see it over there.

    What is this M1903? Civilian hack job or military conversion?

    Agree with above comments but you could try posting it in the vintage section, one of those guys might be able and interested in tracking it down, nice looking rifle but not for $1500.

    Broken Bolt Lug

    Good thing you had those 8 other lugs keeping that bolt in battery. Seems like a huge stress concentration where the extractor pocket meets the lugs, and another one where the extractor groove meets the bolt face, no ground relief groove or anything to mitigate the stress, I don’t think I’ll be...

    Media trying to turn this around........

    And again, you ignored everything stated after that. For fucks sake, I’m agreeing with you that the American bureaucracy was actively working against your favorite political hero and that it’s illegal for jcos to stand in between the president and his military commander. Understanding someone’s...

    Media trying to turn this around........

    Somebody got upset when i said I don’t like Trump and didn’t read where I said it was the wrong thing for Milley to do, I absolutely don’t want the chair of the JCOS involved in those decisions and I think it’s completely illegal what he did. In a normal political climate, when the highest...

    Media trying to turn this around........

    I can understand what motivated him to issue an order about the nukes, but I still think it was the wrong play, only basing that off the limited information I have. I think Trump was off his rocker, but colluding with pellosi and calling China was too damn far, that’s an end around on the...

    8.6 BLK update

    I’m going to keep waiting for the new 11.6 x 54 mm Springfield to come out, straight walls, 600 grain subs designed to open at subsonic velocities, and I’ve heard they’re coming out with an innovative split breech action.

    Battleworn/distressed cerekote pictures

    Why not just cerakote a base color, like a gun metal grey or black and then krylon over that? if you don’t like the look of the distressed krylon you can probably wipe it off without too much effect on the base cerakote. That way you’d still have the protective element of the cerakote no matter...

    Shit box shooting challenge

    Sounds like the 24 hours of lemons, or chump car, and those are both a lot of fun. I like the idea.

    I lusted for The Fix rifle; I just do not want the caliber I got.

    8.6 BLK, The Caliber For Advanced Years.

    I, for one, would really love it if we could break into a discussion about fieldcraft, I think that would really take this set of threads into legend status. But like you say, we’re all a bunch of benchrest shooters, who hate recoil, and can’t work in field conditions, especially those guys...

    We already had that with Woodrow Wilson’s wife when he had a stroke, could end up similar if we didn’t have the 25th amendment, instead we get Kamala. Joy.

    With the PX being pay to play now does the OP even get anything for us catapulting him to 100 posts? Reach around from some of frank’s Twitter buddies? Dutch rudder and a moist towlette?
