    Hunting & Fishing Fox trapping info needed.

    Hello, Its been a while since I've done any trapping so I'm not very knowledgeable about the different trap designations ie. number, size what not. So I can't give advice along those lines except double coil spring traps with an open diameter of about 5" worked pretty well. As far as how to...

    Any Experiences with "PowerTac" Lights?

    Hello, I have several of their pocket sized lights and carry one daily. There has been a few issues such as the bezel coming unscrewed on one, the ring which screws in and holds the switch came loose and one of the lights will just stop working but at some undetermined time will work again. I...

    Fieldcraft Taped muzzle

    Re: Taped muzzle Hello, I always tape my muzzle when out in the field. As stated above it keeps debris out and there is no problem shooting through it. I agree that condensation can be a problem if the tape is left in place long term. Rust is my main concern as it would take a serious amount...

    Re: Best case lube? Hello, Kiwi Mink Oil. Used just like Imperial Sizing Die Wax. Works great and a little goes a long way. If you ever need more you can get it most anywhere. Sim

    Re: Redding Graphite Neck Lube Hello, I use small ball bearings, smaller than a BB in a container with powdered graphite. This lubes the necks well and works just fine. There has never been any problem with the graphite embedding in the brass, barrel or anything else. In the past the...

    Gunsmithing It doesn't get any more redneck

    Re: It doesn't get any more redneck Hello Good job on all your Redneck mods. I have a Savage .243 Win. that I made a stock for out of birch plywood and put a varmint weight 26" barrel on. It would be nice to cut that barrel down to 22" or so. I've thought of using a hack saw but haven't got...

    De-burring outside of case necks

    Re: De-burring outside of case necks I second the above advice to use steel wool. 0000 steel wool works very well and is what I use. I no longer use an outside deburrng tool. To speed things up a bit if you'd like, you can take a nut driver and stuff it with the steel wool and chuck it into...

    I want to take a hit out on fleas

    Re: I want to take a hit out on fleas Hello, Get rid of any carpet if that is an option. Buy some permethrin from Tractor Supply and mix according to the label. Isolate the cats from the areas you spray until spray is thoroughly dry. Permethrin is toxic to cats. It won't bother them once its...

    Hunting & Fishing ballistic tips, after the shot...

    Re: ballistic tips, after the shot... Hello, I've used ballistic tips to kill quite a few deer over the years. Generally speaking fragmentation was not an issue. Most mushroomed uniformly and served their purpose. When ballistic tips first came out there were some legitimate concerns...

    911 Operator Gives Bad Advice

    Re: 911 Operator Gives Bad Advice Hello, The kids did exactly what they should have done. Its a shame the dispatcher gave the boy instructions which could have caused the situation to end very badly for him and his sister. I'm glad to hear that the boy will not be charged with a crime. His...
