1860 by a small margin. And I would love to own an original of either model

O.S.O.K.

This just illustrates two things. One, that the gun grabbers are still frothing at the bit to take as many as they can. Second, the NRA and friends are still in a position to stop them. Put up with the annoying phone calls and support the NRA! Regardless of whatever you can say about the NRA, you ca...

O.S.O.K.

Outstanding!! Please pass on my congratulations! You are right to be proud of him - just having our son accepted to an academy is making us proud

And Rangers too - good for him!

O.S.O.K.

Thanks! Man cave is in the back left - kind of behind the garage - area. It's my office/inside hobby shop - have a heavy-duty exhaust fan going in so that I can cast boolits in there :) It'll be the reloading/gun room too. The main shop where all of the dusty, dirty and big projects will be done is ...

O.S.O.K.

Thanks. Yeah, we are really excited for him and yes, proud

O.S.O.K.

If you want to sell it, let me know

Big discount for that bad sight right?

O.S.O.K.

Oh, OK. Yeah, that's what they're for - to hold the wall up for sure. And yeah, probably due to the amount of rain we get there. The soil is sandy too...

I sure hope everything is OK there - I've been away for 4 days now.... a few more and after loading a Penske truck, we're back that way.

O.S.O.K.

The whole thing went well - Cornyn gave a short but really pretty good speach and was not at all self-indulged. I think he's OK. I didn't know he'd had the background that he did - District Judge, sat on the TX Supreme Court, etc... Interesting to see the different kinds of kids that are appointed.....

O.S.O.K.

That is really amazing... you saved it's life!

O.S.O.K.

Just figure out the right sizes and order you some Marble sights - you'll love em. I like the 1/32 brass bead on the front blade myself. Semi-buckhorn for the rear.

O.S.O.K.

My son's appointment to the AF academy comes with some responsibilities for his Dad... I get to go with him to meet Sen John Cornyn and General Rice - that oversees the academy and a bunch of other stuff. Two hour meet and greet with speeches I guess. Had to drag out the suit - as it's "busines...

O.S.O.K.

Yes and not to mention that it will grow some tasty crappie and catfish too

This place has the best "as-is" water I've ever encountered.

O.S.O.K.

My Miroku 95's rear sight is just fine. Something just needs to be tightened up it sounds like. If all else fails, get a new front and rear sight combo = Marbles makes fine sights. And I know you don't like em but the Pacific Tool Lyman repro is the schitz for best shooting of the 95. My old 30 US o...

O.S.O.K.

Sore shoulder -thanks - we thought they did a great job too. What do you mean by "keyed in"? They poured the wall/retaining buttresses first (used wood panels and metal tab things that fit through the wall to give a consistent thickness), then poured the slab inside of it after the plumber...

O.S.O.K.

Using JB Weld to fill in rust pitting... cool. What's the bore look like?

O.S.O.K.

Again, thanks. Here are a few more pics which should answer questions: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7057/6847536780_57c7372e53_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7047/6847536772_8e231d7fe6_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7178/7048802021_c00dfe0ff5_z.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5040/69249...

O.S.O.K.

They are really great for the inside rooms and will save a lot of electricity $$ over the years. Those rooms are like caves.

These are really high-tech, new and improved skylights. Somebody really did a good job designing them.

O.S.O.K.

Thanks and we are located in central Mississippi - south of Grenada if you know were that is - I-55 is only 10 minutes away, if that.

O.S.O.K.

Thanks and no, no snow to speak of - when you do get some that sticks, it's gone in a day or two - melted.

O.S.O.K.

Thought I'd make an update - here's some pics of the house as it looks now: From front: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7075/7280045196_a6659d0ea0_z.jpg Gable end (right side as seen above): http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7084/7280045208_1d0481b43f_z.jpg Back of house showing solatube tops on roof: htt...

O.S.O.K.

I highly recommend loading gas check 200 grain .314" cast bullets (Lyman mold) to around 1850 fps or so - they are accurate, shoot a bit lowwer too - allowing you to adjust the sights to near point of impact at 100 yards

O.S.O.K.

Thanks for the replies.

2008 jeep wrangler - 2.8 V6, manual trans

I hooked the battery back up this morning and its back to normal... So far.

I'm taking in town to see if the shop can hook it up to a diag tester... May have to take it to the jeep dealer.

Weird.

O.S.O.K.

Hmmm. I wonder if this had anything to do with my Jeep freaking out? (See post)

O.S.O.K.

I opened the door of my Jeep earlier this eve and the horn started sounding, the wipers started working, the wqindshield sprayer ran and non of the electrical switches worked... The thing runs and drives, just with the horn blowing, etc. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop! Any ideas w...

O.S.O.K.

IIRC, they are the metric equivalent of 1:10"

ETA: yes, I checked - is 1:9.45"

O.S.O.K.

The answer is found in your chronograph. Every handloader should own one IMHO. You stary low and then watch your velocity readings - against published data. Velocity is THE best pressure indicator. Yes, longer barrels will give a little more velocity at the same pressure, so you have to take that in...

O.S.O.K.

Other than engineering, he isn't sure yet what tac he will take. They have serious counciling to help with that - as they should.

O.S.O.K.

I own several and different types. AR's, AK's and others. If you want a really good for the $, get a Saiga .308 and convert to pg configuration or just buy one already "fixed" - you can spend more but you really won't get much more IMHO. I own them because they can lay down accurate fire b...

O.S.O.K.

Congratulations. Having dealt with a large number of USAFA cadets though....... keep an eye on his attitude. Around his second year, he may need a smack in the head. Quite a few 3rd/4th year guys, not all wannabe pilot types, get a real superiority complex. We generally had to fix that little issue...

O.S.O.K.

Congrats Mark! You will love it. Load it with 180 grain xtp' or gold dots at max pressure and take it deer hunting for sure - nipping on the heals of the 30-30 in terms of kietic power and plenty for complete pass-through penetration at 50 yards. There are quite a few m357 mag levergun hunters with ...

O.S.O.K.

More than I can say with words, allhands :) Ysabel, yes he earned his Eagle rank and will be giving a speach in front of his 400 class mates along with their families next friday at his graduation as the class valedictorian - very dedicated young man. We did try hard as parents but sometimes God jus...

O.S.O.K.

Pitchy, you are amazing

I am sitting in my little cabin behind our house (under construction) on my blackberry and can't watch the vids, but it looks very interesting!

O.S.O.K.

Thanks guys.

86'r, I will tell him to look for Jimmy!

Gak, please tell your friend that I said best of luck and for him to keep trying - it often takes more than one go at it.

Modoc - thanks for the advice - I will pass it on!

O.S.O.K.

My yougest just heard from the Airforce Acsademy and has accepted enrollment :). He flies to Colorado Springs next month for basic training prior to starting his first year. He was rejected on the initial selection and placed on a waiting list. Very disheartening for him but he handled it like a man...

As one also edowed with some lead ww , bulk and bullets... Do not move - trust me on this :lol: We already moved my "stash" once - from house to rental house and are now preparing for the big move to our new home in Miss. - the lead hoard is a PITA... But I will be glad to have it once set...

O.S.O.K.

Thanks ya'll. It's dried-in now - has the sheathing on the roof and they're working on the roof over the garage and the side porch. I'm going to have a range - probably behind the house about 100 yards in further and down across a big draw. I'm planning on constructing a shoot house - maybe with &qu...

O.S.O.K.

Well, here's how far we've gotten - should be dried-in today (sheathing on the roof), along with the rest of the roof and side porch built: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5040/6924940960_1c8cd4b532_z.jpg Making progress!! Things are going to pick-up now - the inside subs can get in next week and the ...

O.S.O.K.

The real danger here is that they imply that you can put factory rounds into a 410 and it won't blow... they had to "overload" it to get it to "pop".

O.S.O.K.

Being preppared is not about spending a lot of money on things that you'll only use in a bad times situation. Simply purchasing some extra food stuffs of the kind that store well and putting them up every week until you get enough to sustain you for an extended time is a good start. Having a steady ...

No kidding. But the rules still apply.
Those people were true "believers" and just as dangerous.

Oh, I wasn't referring to that... just in general.

I sure would be concerned about any "group" that presented a threat.

O.S.O.K.

Yes, pictures.

But it sounds like it's shooting good! And the reline was a success

This is no Y2K - that was a joke.

Old Savage... I suggest heeding the Boy Scout motto... Seriously, there is no way that we are going to escape a bad economic crash... the only question is the level of severity. Mike is making a good point. This isn't "Doomsday Preppers" this is just fact. Obama had a recent "victory&...

O.S.O.K.

Yes, they are great working guns and you can load pointy bullets in em.

Of course, you have to be happy with iron sights

I have one of the new production repro Lyman aperture sights on my 30 US. I like it a lot. Pacific Tool IIRC.

O.S.O.K.

Oh yeah. We should be in by July. God willing.

I'd wait until the panic is really on -then sell. That's when demand will be at it's highest and prices too. Supply and demand.

I've got two - one original production Winchester from just after the turn of the century - 30 US - was refinished and had the barrel shortened and had a frosted bore when I got it, but I firelapped it and it now shoots just fine though it will foul up pretty quick - absolutely loves .310" cast...
