Well done Marine

I'll go with door number three, Montie :P The atmosphere is imparting friction on the bullet acting both on velocity and rotational speed. We have observed the frictional effects on bullet rotation by the change in point of impact under varying wind conditions. Here is the scenario. You are shooting...

The wife and I are planning a trip to San Antonio for our anniversary. What restaurants and tourist type stuff would you gentlemen recommend. NEW Thanks for all the tips. It sounds like a lot to cram into a three day weekend but we'll do our best. We moved near Conroe, TX last year from Oklahoma Cit...

I've killed three in my yard so far this year. They all were small but copper heads just the same. I have some cci shot shells but never had the opportunity to use them on snakes. A few years ago, handloader magazine ran an article about loading your own using #9 shot and gas checks in the 45LC and ...

When I started competing with iron sights, I took all of my old glasses that I had laying around and tried each while at the rifle range. I found that one of my old pairs of glasses was outstanding at giving me a good picture. Also speak with your optomitrist. Remember that when you use your glasses...

Any of you guys have experience challenging your annual property tax assessment here in Texas? I'm new to the state and not sure what to do after I file my challenge. We have until the end of the month here in Montgomery County to file.

Welcome to the camp fire YKK. Those are great pictures of some fine guns. Thanks.

WOW

Thanks

Great post and really nice rifle. I have had one for about 15 years or so and really like making smoke with it. I discovered that they shoot high when the front sight from an earlier model is mixed with a later model Buffington rear sight (which you have). There are a few places on the web where you...

Congratulations and good luck. Fine looking store.

Wow! Great project. Keep us posted on the learning process. You are about a year ahead of me in this endeavor.

People are so caught up in their political agenda, they forget that this type of activity is about honoring the fallen. I don't care what flag a man falls under, he deserves to be remembered for his sacrifice!

When I started shooting competition a few years ago, one of the competitors I shot with had a side business of fitting custom molded ear plugs top his fellow shooters. They are made of food grade silicone rubber. They are very effective, convenient to use and last a long time. I use mine every time ...

During the Carter years, I was on a road trip from St. Louis to Florida.

Griff No offense taken. I just want to fiddle with it and make it a shooter. Before I buy it, I might just clean the barrel and shoot it a little to see if it has potential. I love putting orphans back into shooting condition but I'll be the first to admit this may be the worst condition of any proj...

A friend picked up a '92 recently and isn't really interested keeping it, so he is offering it to me. Its a 1910 mgfd, 32-20. It's not in very good condition as you can see by the pics. I'm interested in doing some limited restoration (mostly on the wood) but the metal will probably be kept as is. I...

The company I work for once had a coal mine in Wyoming. One of many companies working the coal in that area, each company took turns doing some infrastructure improvement in town.

Ditto on a good career. I started with the oil industry 20 years ago when the oil patch was in a slump.

There are a lot of anvils that vary in quality by a huge margin. Most of what you see in the deep discount tool stores are cast steel through and through. I have one about 55 pounds and the surface is not very hard. Quality anvils will be constructed of cast steel or iron with a flat plate of high c...

The ppc cartridges (22 and 6 mm) eclipsed the 222 as the gold standard in bench rest competition.

I saw this on the news last night and couldn't believe my ears! One has to wonder if the BATF purposely recruits anti gun personnel to carry out this kind of activity against fellow citizens.

I'll second J Miller on the rounds not bumping up. I had similar experience with a trapdoor Springfield. It shot smokeless loads just fine but got real picky when shooting blackpowder. Another suggestion is to switch to 30:1 lead mix. The softer mix may bump up to fill rifling better. What is the tw...

Pick up a copy of blade magazine and check out the various adds they run. There are a lot of comparable knives out there that will perform just as well and with a style all their own. WalMart knives do just fine in 95% of circumstances but if I were going into combat, you can bet I would be looking ...

Just as soon as I win the lottery, I'm sending some work their way.

You guys do great work Tom. I've always admired the attention to detail and craftsmanship at Turnbull.

My worst experience was when I shot a Shiloh Sharps in a Black Powder Silhouette match. This particular rifle has a military style stock. Most of the competitors shoot shot gun style stock. But with a lot of drop at the comb and a steel butt plate, it was murder in the prone position. I fired a 40 t...
