Actually, I think we caught the edge of that storm all the way down here in Arkansas. Even just getting a small bit of it, you could tell it was a very angry storm.

I hadn't heard about this. I hope everybody can stay safe and that they can recover quickly from all the damage. :(

Wow, that is some beautiful engraving. I believe you now have an heirloom on your hands. :)

Wow! I'd be more than a little nervous to find myself that close to one of those. We had one walk through the green belt right behind our house the last place I lived. My Mom spotted it and wasn't quite sure what she was seeing and just kept yelling, "That is not a dog! That is not a dog!" It...

I think public school has also become a way for parents to not need to raise their kids. I'm not sitting around judging everybody for sending their kid to a public school, but we have to start realizing that we are asking a corrupt institution to raise our children. I heard a story that a girl...

If you gain some extra velocity from the 26" barrel, I'd do that, especially if you can afford to flute it, then it won't be adding much weight for the extra length. I don't know what the recoil is like on a .264 Win Mag, but if it is manageable and you don't want to suppress it, it may not be...

Sounds like a fun range trip. I do like the old .308. I've never really shot beyond 100 yards and don't get a lot of opportunity to shoot lately, I will be curious to see what shooting out to longer distances is like when I get the opportunity. I am kind of interested to know if anyone here...

Tikka is probably a better feeling rifle than Savage, good triggers, but I do like the way Savage rifles are designed. They are easy to take all the way apart, but in fairness that probably is not a major concern for most people. Savages are made in America and Tikkas are made in Finland if that...

I spent most of my growing years in Texas, and the "Come and Take It" mentality is something I firmly stand by.

The Bible says that the Antichrist "shall think to change the times and the law." I don't think we have seen him yet, but many people seem determined to roll out the red carpet. We have certainly seen many changes to the times and the laws, all for evil intent. The world is seeking to justify...

My neighbor at the last place I lived was a school teacher. She went back to school to get certified which was a challenge, then she finally got a job but is always burned by the administration at any school that she teaches at. The kids always love her, she would let all the bullied kids come...

Wow. I was home schooled and appreciate that more every day. If I ever have kids of my own, they aren't being put under the authority of someone who has no concern for them.

No problem, glad I might be of help. Locktite is what I would try, but since it doesn't cause a noticeable difference, it won't hurt to pull out. That will just mean you have maximum over travel, which if I'm not mistaken will be the same as a standard trigger that has no adjustment anyway.

Interesting, let us know how they work. I have been interested in dry lube types for some time, they seem like they could solve a lot of common problems, but am not familiar with very many.

I really wish double barrel rifles of all sorts were more popular in America. I would be tempted to get one if I can ever afford it. Hard to justify it, but I love them.

I think I know why the screw on the trigger was not adjusting the trigger pull weight. That screw should be a trigger over travel screw, not a weight screw, unless this is a highly unconventional 1911. The trigger spring, which is called the sear spring, is a flat spring that resides almost all...

So on ramps, most ramps benefit from being polished. This can be done with a polishing head on a Fordem or other such rotary tool. On the 1911 there are two ramps, the frame ramp and the barrel ramp, both can be polished, but the important thing to keep in mind is that there are two edges that...

It really would have been nothing more effective than a prank except that so many people are ignorant and disillusioned. I am an amateur singer songwriter, I do it as a hobby, and I wrote a song that has some lines describing how I view current society; "The snare of the spellbound strives to...

I have little hands on experience, but I am a gunsmithing student and have been told by my teachers that most of the time feeding issues are caused by ill shaped extractors. As the cartridge rim slides on to the breech face, it runs into the bottom corner of the extractor, and if that corner is...

Ha ha, yeah it sounds like some people really get into it, but I do like seeing kids doing something hands on in the real world for sure. Me and my brothers used to take making paper airplanes pretty seriously. Spent hours making them and testing them off our second story landing. Some of those...
