    Dead druggie is dead. I knew her.

    I want to say that we can predict who will likely become a drug addict or regular drinker. It is someone who sees no way to improve his status. Conservative Canadian psychology professor Jordan Peterson has 45 million views on youtube....until they ban him. He is in big trouble for threatening...

    What do I not know about Savages?

    I build Win 70s, Rem 700s, 98 Mausers, Mosin Nagants, Arisakas, and Sav 110s. I have owned Sav 110s for 35 years. The Sav 110 is the only rifle worse than a Rem 700. But I am still buying and building myself Sav 110 types.

    FBI failure on tips for school shooter?

    I got an email showing how he likely has alcohol fetal syndrome. I looked at his history and thought, "Another case if , your parents can't discipline you, the police will have to."

    Gunsmithing building a 6.5 cm or rem 260

    I build a rifle, fire 50 shots, shoot a deer, put the rifle in storage and build another rifle. I have a 260 reamer and a 6.5-06 reamer. At 50 shots, the 6.5-06 is way better. Now I have lots of expensive Rem700 short action stocks lying around and two expensive long action stocks on order. At...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    I have hoarded thousands of pounds of reloading components and gear. More stuff will not make you happier, but buying more stuff always seems to offer hope of more happiness. My reloading room is packed with stuff to the ceiling on 3 sides, and to the level of the windows on the 4th. I have a...

    Should I join the local Sheriffs department?

    500G is a legal scholar AND a dick.... he is a friend of mine, and I have to accept his faults.

    308 Alpha brass - small vs large primer

    The small primer pockets in 6mmBR allow me to use very high pressure. My guess is from Quickload and work ups, and things going wrong: 308 case head with large primer, threshold of short brass life 70 kpsi 223 case head with small primer pocket, threshold of short brass life 80 kpsi 6mmBR case...

    Movie Theater Blade Runner 2049

    This action adventure science fiction big budget, without any political propaganda. This was shot in Budapest, and so like a Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, shot outside the USA trade contracts, this movie has the look of lack of diversity that makes real money in foreign markets.... if you...

    Movie Theater Comedy, Dave Chappelle?

    Greg, I am waiting for the pendulum to make gun forums intelligent again, like in 1994. Chappelle's stand up was always terrible. He had some good skits before he flaked out on Comedy Central. Charlie Murphy, set builder from the lunchroom, was his best writer.

    308 Alpha brass - small vs large primer

    I did that with Lapua Palma brass necked down to 260 and turned the necks. While breaking in the barrel with CFE223, I found a CCI450 magnum small rifle primer could not set off more than 40 gr of the coated ball powder.

    Gunsmithing Need new calipers

    My cousin keeps getting patents working for Mitutoyo digital calipers, so I buy some of them...... but owning dozens of calipers, I still like Starrett dial calipers best. Only $80 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SJADL3G

    Gunsmithing Barrel Vise

    I make my own barrel vises and action wrenches. The barrel vises are made from 2x2 steel. The collets are made from 1.5" round Aluminum alloy. At 550 foot pounds static, Kroil, and a sledge hammer, I can get most any old rusty military barrel off. I have been doing it this way for 18 years...

    Swatted

    In negligence, the cops are the ones with the deep pockets. It is very hard to sue the gov, but my friend did it when his son was killed by a perp going around a poorly constructed road block. This looks like one of those cases.

    Gunsmithing Want trigger recommendation

    I put timeneys in the rifles I build; Rem700, Sav110, Win70, Mauser98, Arisaka99, etc. In 10/22s I go to a Volquartsen Trigger.

    Gunsmithing Rifle bedding life span

    Bart Bobbitt, the guy who shot a 3.25" 20 shot group at 800 yards with a 308 in 1997 in Precision Shooting ad by Krieger, used to say that the bedding breaks down under a round bottom receiver. He used a Win M70 at Camp Perry with a flat bottom. That info can still be found with Google. 60 years...

    Gunsmithing 7RM + 180 ELD-M reamer spec questions

    I have a couple 7mmRM reamers of the garden variety. But my custom reamers from PTG [6mmBR] or Manson [223], I could pick the over all length. I know when I handload 7mmRemMag, I ignore the SAAMI registered numbers of 61 kpsi and 3.29". I load more like 72kpsi and 3.34". That works with my...

    Acceptable concentricity for hunting

    Supposedly the above derivation of concentricity of ammo effect on precision has been verified. It is real, it is linear.... up to the point where the chamber bends the ammo straight. Jamming the bullet into the lands will get at least the front of the bullet concentric in one plane normal to...

    Acceptable concentricity for hunting

    918V. It has been a long time. The curious thing about concentricity is that it is much more important in ammo than in chambering. Eccentricity in the chamber is consistent and throws all the bullets into the same small off center group. Eccentricity in ammo usually has random radial...

    Finnish M39 - struggling with seating depth

    I have a rifle with a neck that is 0.338" go 0.340" no go, that should be big enough, but I have had serious neck pinching problems causing pressure spikes. The chamber must be short for the brass. The groove on the barrel measures 0.309" Mosin Nagant Sako VKT M39 Westinghouse 1915-18...
