    Remington 600 in.223

    Clean and oil the rifle up, take lots of REALLY GOOD pictures, write a lengthy, informative description, and put it on Gunbroker starting at 1 cent. Have the auction run 10 days and end on a Sunday night around 9:00 PM ( lets the guys sitting around in their underwear drunk bidding have a shot...

    NFA transfers since the shutdown?

    I submitted a Form 1 two days prior to the shutdown - USPS showed delivery of the paperwork the day of the shutdown - and - haven't heard anything since. My Form 1's are usually approved within a couple of days. So, waiting.............. 🙏

    The one (gun) that got away

    Two years ago, a ( transferable ) converted Colt AR to full auto for $11K. The receiver 3rd hole was slightly off from straight across and the upper was slightly milled on one side to allow it to close properly. Colt would not destroy the lower and re-issue the same serial number on a new lower...

    Would you go into witness protection?

    Years ago, a coworker on the PD arrested a local University Police Officer for DUI. By the following day at the afternoon arraignment, a US Marshall shows up and has the charges dropped ( and won't tell us why ). Through one of our detectives assigned to the Marshall's Task Force we found out...

    My 427 blower motor project.

    Same. From a guy who raced in the early '70's, those are my thoughts, too. Always amazed at Chad's abilities and knowledge. :cool:

    Night Vision Older PVS14

    I'd call CustomNightVision ( a forum seller ) and talk to them. I've bought a bunch of stuff from them and they have always treated me well.

    Carbon 6 Barrels

    I've got 3 Carbon 6 barrels - all from a few years ago ( nothing recent ). They all shoot to various degrees below MOA. And since I'm one of those people that's "I got's to know" - I ran my borescope down them when they were new. All looked smooth with no obvious ugly imperfections. Of course...

    Questions & what to look for when purchasing land?

    Lots of very good information and suggestions here. But, my experience with the distance question - 60 miles or 60 minutes. Much further and you'll probably get to the point you hardly ever visit it. But, a funny story - a buddy bought a small farm about an hour from his residence to have his...

    What would make a H&R M1A worth more than a Springfield Armory M1A?

    Appears you are correct. Upon further looking, it appears Palmetto ( having acquired the rights to H&R from JJE Capital Holdings after the Remington / Freedom Group bankruptcy dispersal sale ) has done a special retro run of new H&R logo'd receivers with USGI parts for a 60 gun limited run...

    What would make a H&R M1A worth more than a Springfield Armory M1A?

    And, probably, scarcity of an H & R M14 receiver. Only produced under government contract from '59 to '64 ( I believe ).

    Moms now vs back then

    That is the truth - once I got spanked by the nun for misbehaving in class. Went home and told my mom - who told my dad when he got home. Got spanked again ( with his Marine Corps dress belt ) for embarrassing the family's good name. The following day I told the nun that since she spanked me the...

    6mm Mini Short Mag

    My understanding of the WSSM line was to have a shorter powder column that was supposed to mimic the philosophy behind the PPC line of cartridges for enhanced accuracy and power. Unfortunately, didn't seem to work out as well as they had hoped.

    How’s the gun market?

    I'm an old guy - been around a LONG time. Learned my lesson on guns and components back during the Clinton era of hard to get stuff. We've had 3 ( THREE !! ) long term gun stores close within the last 7 months - not entirely due to the economy - but, it was the apparent final straw for each of...

    Adding adjustable cheek to stock

    Stock Doc was "the man" for aftermarket adjustable cheek piece upgrades. I've had LRI do a couple on complete builds with their own accessories and it was super well done. Might try them.

    6mm Mini Short Mag

    I think a factory .243 WSSM in a Winchester WSSM short action and a fast twist barrel will pretty much get you there ( according to Nosler load data ). YMMV.

    Gunsmithing Omega 300 end cap brake adapter

    I've got several Area 419 and American Precision Arms brakes sitting around not currently being used that would be nice to use again. I'd be in for some endcap adapters.
