He has already release his info bomb, and an army private is going to spend the rest of his life in prison because of it. You can go to his site and read it for yourself, there is some interesting stuff on there. I think everyone should watch the airstrike video and read the story behind it. It's disturbing to see what our soldiers are really doing over there, this one just happened to get out.

Care to give an example of the sort of bad information?

Usually when someone says they have damning evidence on someone and doesn't release it, it's a good sign that they do not have anything. Sorta like ol' Nancy saying she had something on Gingrich, and nothing ever coming of it.

What are some good books on mauser sporterizing? I am particularly interesting in magnum conversion, squeezing ever little bit of length out of a military mauser action. I know some filing can me done on the back of the action below the bridge, a little bit off the bolt stop, and some more off the feed ramp, but I don't know the specifics.

Interesting, so if the case has a diameter of D at the base and a diameter of F at the shoulder the formula would look something like D+D*cos(30) for the back of the magazine and F+F*cos(30) for the shoulder. From that the equation for the front would be front=F'-x*(F'-D')/L with F' being the width and the back of the magazine, D' being the width at the shoulder, x being COL and L being the length from the shoulder to the base. Oh and add .003 to final dimensions. What is a NOS trigger guard? And how much?

I prefer a balanced budget (Clinton), Bush started the longest war(s) in US history, DOUBLED the national debt (even if Obama wins a second term he won't do that). The UN inspectors had JUST left Iraq when we attacked, they found no definitive evidence of WMDs. We can't just attack everyone who we say is doing something bad when we have no evidence. Bush squandered the US credibility. Our foes didn't fear him, they attacked us within months of him taking office. Our allies left us in Iraq while their citizens were burning US flags and pictures of president Bush. I read a news report just the other day from the 90's that said Iran would have nuclear weapons within a year. Look how well that turned out.

And what would that make the foreign policy of Bush? A 12 year old that didn't get enough hugs? What about the foreign policy of the 3 neocons running against Obama? I am talking about the ones salivating over a chance to go to war with Iran. You know the 3 with no military experience, 2 of which were eligible for the draft during Vietnam. A 12 year old who had an uncle with boundary issues? Whether Obama wins or not, we are screwed.

Do you care to share the formulas?

Murder is not dealt with on the federal level, it is a state crime. That is the point RP is trying to make. Murder laws are different state to state. In some states you have committed the crime of murder if you shoot and kill someone that kicks in your door while you are sitting on your couch. Some states have castle doctrine laws. And if it works for murder then it can work for abortion, which many see as a form of murder.

Never built a mauser before but I have an action that has been sitting around for years. I have been studying it a lot lately and and have no intention on this being done any time soon but I was just wondering what y'all have done. I wanted to start working on mausers a few years ago but school came along and it got put pretty far at the back of my list of priorities. I guess I am curious to see what the average Joe has done.

So who here have bigger medium bores and large bores on Mauser actions? I want to hear about .375 H&H and up. Surely there are some .416 Rigbys and .458 Lotts around here. I read a few pages back about a 375 H&H and about a 416 Taylor. Nice reads but I am just wondering what else has been done around here.

Man that is one beefy scope base!

How much do these schools cost?

I too will be voting for RP even if he is not on the ballot. The first time I ever voted it was for Mccain. I regretted it when I did it, it didn't like him. When he lost I fell like it was a waste of a vote, I could have voted for a 3rd party that I actually liked, or wrote in, but I didn't. Now I will not vote for a candidate that I don't like just because I don't like the other guy more. Am I throwing away a vote? No election has been decided by one vote, and no election has been decided by my state so I guess I am throwing it away no matter who I vote for. Many people are saying RP will be a spoiler if he doesn't win the nomination, well if you are that concerned with beating Obama at all costs then I would suggest to all republicans to vote for RP in the primaries.

I don't think so, I am sure those 3 places have a split vote, as it is now the states of California, New York, a Illinois already account for about 1/5th of the votes. And with the electoral college, if 49% of the population votes for A and 51% for B, then all of the 104 votes go to B. If a candidate gets 51% in the 11 largest states, they win the election. Even if 100% in the other 39 states votes for the other guy. It was designed to be a scam, the founding fathers wanted liberty and democracy, but they didn't trust the average citizen. The whole point was to have congress decide who will be the president and vice president, and remember only half of congress was voted on by the people at the time.

AK has 3 votes, you could be the first to cast your ballet and it still wouldn't count.

Osama Bin Laden said him self it was because of US troops stationed in SA. He sent threats in the 90's after we stationed troops there to watch over Iraq and no one took it seriously, look where it got us. We need to get out of the middle east. If you think Iran is such a threat, what about all the other nuclear powers we haven't always gotten along with? Hell we sent navy seals into Pakistan, a nuclear power. We have fought proxy wars with China and The Soviet Union, both nuclear powers, and nothing ever happened. North Korea hates the US more than any other country, under Bush they were allowed to acquire nukes, test them, and build ballistic missiles to fire them.... and nothing happened. I don't know too many people that would call his foreign policy soft, and it still failed to prevent a hostile nation from getting them. Israel is not the only democracy in the middle east. But I am glad you said that because while it may be the only democracy supported by the US in the middle east, there are plenty of totalitarian rulers that we support. And a dirty bomb? Really? That is almost as crazy as Newt saying he is worried about terrorist using a EMP attack against us. Wow sounds scary right? Well lets dissect that a little more. How could it be carried out against us? By detonating a megaton class nuclear weapon in the upper atmosphere above the central United States. Please read that one more time, take it all in, and think about it. I am not even sure the US has the capability to do that. Do we even have megaton weapons that will fit in a rocket that can reach the upper atmosphere? Let's remember, there are the people whos most advanced weapon can the thrown together in a few hours on a farm. America first.

HOw is he off base with 911? He said it perfectly last night, if they attacked us because of our freedoms then why are they not attacking Switzerland and Sweden? We were attacked because we had troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, plain and simple. It is time to stop paying for the defense of other nations. America first. Iran is no more of a nuclear threat than Iraq, remember how that turned out? What is more kooky, the US sending 1/4th of its budget to the military, and by extension military contractors with huge lobby support, or.... not doing that? It's time to stop policing the world and working on building up America. I say schools and roads come before we spend $66 billion dollars on an aircraft with no definite purpose that even after being in service for 2 wars, has still seen no combat.

Maybe this is a dumb question but could the take off barrel be used on another type 38? Lets say you wanted to rechamber it to something longer so it would be like a short chambered barrel, sorta, could you use this barrel on the second rifle? Or would everything not line up right?

Where is everyone getting there guns now? I am wanting to collect a few guns for future projects, but only if the price is right. I am interested in mausers, 1917 lee enfields, Type 38, anything that can be made into a nice hunting rifle.

hey guys, just stoping by and thought i would give everyone an update. well ive decided to go to school! i graduated in may 2007 and didnt go to school for a year after that. i finally said ###### it and decided to pursue and education. i think alot of my problem was my friends, they were mostly roughnecks, i was working at a truck wash where even the managers never got a degree. in high school the only subjects i was good at was math and physical sciences. well i started hanging out with some higher class people and looked into the idea of going to school. after a while i decided on civil engineering and got in meeting with a head of civil engineering at the university of alabama. being from tuscaloosa and growing up a huge bama fan, auburn wasnt even an option. after my meeting, which took place in april of 2008, i learned i was to late to sighn up for classes in the fall, but there is a jr college here in town that would just have to meet my needs for the timebeing. in june i had one of the biggest changes of my life. in june i lost my best friend. i quit my job the day after his funeral, and broke up with my girl friend a few days after that. i pretty much cut ties with most of my friends. i now make it a poit to only associate my self with other students. well as it stands now, i will start alabama in the spring and will be getting a double major in civil engineering, and construction engineering. i MIGHT change the construction to mechanical engineering. long story short, im getting a couple degrees and im still pursuing my dream of making custom rifles one day, even if im only turning out one a month, working on the weekends, and giving them to friends for brithday and christmas gifts, one day my name will be associated with some of the finest crafted hunting rifles ever. sorry for the spelling, ive alrady taken my sleepy medicine tonight.

what would be a good choice in caliber for coyotes and bobcats

wow this is hard, i keep deciding to pay a little extra and now im to a douglas premium airguaged barrel

well i think its gonna be mostly a plinking rifle, i was thinking of an ershaw 26" 3.5 countor barrel and some kind of thumbhole stock. after this gun im gonna use commercial actions. so far ive had the bolt handle turned down and drilled for a scope
