I agree with all that you gentlemen have written above, but we live in a terminal world. All we can be is salt and light in a society which has turned its back on God.. We maintain the ancient borders and stand our ground. To some we will be an aroma of life, to others an aroma of death... it just goes with the territory. The Prince of This World holds sway over most of its populace, it is our job to be sweetly reasonable where we can be, but it is the Holy Spirit's job to do the freeing from Satan's thrall.

My Weatherby-wanna-be (but really a Howa) Vanguard in .270. Ugly, but accurate as hell.

I'm part of Samaritans Ministries. I really like it and it opts me out.

Or upside down. Mandela has been whitewashed, but a communist is a communist.

Interesting. I'd like to know what your source is. It wouldn't surprise me that the US media won't report it.

You might try micarta. It is laminatable and very durable. http://www.texasknife.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=587_826_841_611&products_id=1337

Well look at that, most of them have a "D" by their name. Gun owners who don't look beyond the party they and their parents have always voted for deserve what they get. Unfortunately, they will drag the rest of us down with them.

My go-to round for the .270 is 45 grains of RamShot Hunter pushing a Hornady 150 gr. spitzer. With a 130 gr. bullet, that same powder starting load ranges between 49.3 and 51.3 (49.3 for the Sierra SBT, 50.9 for the Barnes TSX, and 51.3 for the Hornady SST). By the way, I shoot a Weatherby Vanguard .270 which is really a Howa, which I believe is the same as the S&W.

You can use cyanoacrylate. As a carver and woodworker, here is what I would do: go to hobby shop and buy a bottle of the really thin cyano along with a spray bottle of instaset or "Zipkicker" . Clean up the surface of the crack on both sides by sanding and use of acetone to clean it up further (oil is not an impediment). Attempt to draw the crack together as best you can with some clamps. Now run a generous bead of the cyano on one side of the crack, let it penetrate, then kick it with the spray stuff. Do the same on the other side. It works well, and will stabilize the crack, but will probably not completely hide the crack.

... Which makes me think of McCain's parody of the Beach Boys: "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" which also led to some saber rattling.

Obama's toys.

Bingo!

I'd feel a little bit more like celebrating freedom if...

Obama cares nothing about the Constitution. For him and his supporters, such as the bimbo Pelosi, the end justifies the means.

ATI stocks can be warped and difficult to fit. I have had two different forearms for my No.4 Mk.1. One was straight the other I had to take a Dremel with sanding drum to in order for the barrel trough to be straight enough so that it didn't put pressure on the barrel. The stock I had for my MN was a great fit. Lots of variance in the product, but I have to say that they are very durable if you want a knock-about stock.

I'm not Catholic, but that was inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations! Longevity in marriages is a rare thing today. My wife and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary, and we too are having a blast.

Thanks. I have put on a thicker shoulder pad. How hard were those triggers to replace? Steve

I looked at the Canwest triggers. They look great but are fairly expensive and they say they need to be installed by a gunsmith (which I am not).

Are they a real improvement? I have a bad right shoulder, and that coupled with a long trigger pull on my No. 4 Mk. 1 is causing me to have some problems out on the range. I've never had a "flinch factor" before, but if a trigger can have a smoother pull to it, maybe I can do a little better than I have been. I know the rifle is zeroed because my son-in-law does well with it. $80 doesn't seem too steep.

Things are indeed bad, but there is no limiting God. America has been through two "great awakenings", and there could be a third. Consider Nineveh, the wickedest nation on the face of the earth during the time of Jonah, yet they repented before God. II Chronicles 7:14- "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.".

What a beauty! I was intrigued by the cold bluing while on the lathe.

I Timothy 4:1, II Timothy 3:1-5. I teach in a small Christian school (about 200 students). Every day I rub shoulders with student who love God, love their fellow man, are respectful to me and to their parents, and who take citizenship seriously. What's more, I get to teach every one of them gun safety and shooting at least once in their academic career! I tell them that they are the hope of the future...

They don't look like "Asians" to me. Look like A-rabs.

Classic "safari" looking rifle. Beautiful.
