Stories like this make me ill, careless on the part of the FFL. Who unwraps a rifle and thinks, "Wow, they didn't buy the bolt that goes with it?" Ian on Forgotten Weapons (youtube) had a good video on shipping weapons and how the auction houses avoid this type of problem. They go to great...

This is a very widely circulated photo, that I can find no details on other than Beirut. I have a co-worker that claims it is him in the photo, prior to leaving the Marines and joining the Army. I figure people doing retro builds (or lucky enough to have the real thing) may have further info on...

Thanks much, just what I suspected.

Will the Schmidt & Bender PM II ShotDot scopes (1x6 and 1x8) handle the recoil of a dangerous game rifle, such as 375 H&H? Seems they would be a good fit for a hunting rifle with distances of 200yds and less.

Sheldon, Back home and gave it a try. All 3 are now fixed!! Thanks much (now to get with SB after the New year and get some user manuals.)

We recently received some used Schmidt Bender scopes. Most scopes are fine but the 4-16x42 PMIIs are giving me a problem. Each scope has a different issue: 1. The single turn elevation turret will only turn to 7. 2. The single turn elevation turret will only turn to 6. 3. The double turn...

I'm a big fan of Crooked Horn brand. If I am hunting local, I go ultra-light and use their Trail Blazer II. I've used this for years and years, at least 30 days of hunting a year, and it still looks near new...

Verne, I'm in Southern Middle but go to Nashville regularly. Who do you have in Gallatin?

I'm still laughing as I write this. I needed that, thanks.

I am batting a big fat ZERO on properly cut threads on rifles using my BA30. Both did not have an undercut of any type. (On my M700 we ended up using different washers to properly index.) As my normal gunsmith is bolt guns only, is there someone in the Southeast (preferably, or anyone...

I feel sorry for the guy. A little one-on-one and that is a correctable issue.

Bowhunting is definitley tough for bear. With an excellent hit on a deer, you can hear them crash right away. If not, you have to determine where they were hit before deciding on how long to wait to track. 30 minutes for a solid hit. 4 hours or more for a bad/unknown hit. BUT, a deer doesn't...

That sound is especially creepy when you ware walking out of the woods in the dark after deer hunting.

I have a new Thunderbeast 30BA for my M700, but want to also use on an AR upper platform. (My current upper has a pinned muzzlebrake on a 14.5 barrel, so don't want to remove that.) Was thinking of just sticking with 5.56, but the 6.5/6.8 calibers have my interest now. Will be used primarily...

How about an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold (thermostat housing)? Still sick over that one. I now possess a nice torque wrench.

The Soviets used to ship their grenades with multiple fuses of different time duration. Some were marked with a 0 for use in booby-traps while other went, I think, from 1 to 4 seconds. You were able to pick which fuse you wanted and screw it in the body. The fun started when cases of grenades...

Good to know about variations in light strength affecting readings. Accuracy wasn't that great on the rounds fired, so won't be buying anymore. Thanks guys

I have a question on variations in factory ammunition fps. While I do reload, I picked up a box (impulse buy) of 300WM Federal Deer Thug, 180gr bonded soft point. FWIW, box says 2950 fps at muzzle. Ran a few through a 21" barrel and the chrono came up with: 2943 2775 1013 2956 I had...

I know I should be laughing, but...

Same here. Unblocked him a while back after seeing some of his most recent posts, reposted.
