  1. Keep us posted... or PM me..Please.. I really prefer the left hand safety..Dunno Why... But that is how I like it.. I think I have an Extra around here...Some Place!!! I will look into something like this... But...For me, After the Holidays..
  2. I got one like that around here someplace.. not stretched that far, and even more contoured to the shroud..I like it alot...in fact been cogitating just How I could do something like it... Make a Jig or Fixture I suspect
  3. Paralax Bill?? Just checked...Appears to be Gone... Dammit!!!!

    Crypto

    I have been using Paypal for a very long...long time.. Never with a Credit Card... not happenin.. I have a Checking Account at the bank, with No Checks...it is my PayPal only account!! Works a Dream...
  5. Another neat looking piece...thanks Horsefly
  6. Thats the ticket... thanks precisely what I was wanting... Next, maybe "stretch it a tiny bit longer?? One day I will concentrate on some of my lame assed Wood!!! Embarrassed how sad some of my stocks really are!! Maybe this winter!!!
  7. a friend is wanting help with an M96 bolt mod.. we havbe a tentative plan, to cut off the existing handle and weld it on...then shape... Anyone done this??? Thanks BTW I have this very idea in my mind for a Spanish "turned down" bolt
  8. I believe typically called a Bomb Sight... found on many Small ring Mausers...mine seem mostly to have been MFG by Lowe Coincidence?? BTW; My Chilean (s) display that symbol on the Extractors as well!!
  9. A steel pin (nail) peened in place is just as good... I like easy!!!
  10. Glad you did not give up Horesefly... Especially if you want a .270.. I am still in search of a good 8mm barrel... maybe get lucky and end up with a Turk take-off!!!
  11. We Shoot Skunks on sight... or they take up residence... However I highly recommend Anchoring them.. Preferably in the open.. Eagles love them...skunks and possum seem to be a Favorite with the local Eagle population.. If allowed to escape to die wherever... they really set up an unbelievable Stench!! BTW I endeavor to be a minimum of 75 yards away,, and have yet to get any stink Onto Me.. as an aside.. in regards ground hogs.. Either eagles do not prefer them, or the Coyotes like 'em so much that the eagles don't get a crack at em!!!!! Carrion does not Last at our place
  12. My groundhogs will beg to differ!!! I do Not wish to wait for 'em to die!! Want 'em anchored...
  13. Shoot a Ground hog... or certainly a Skunk with yer .22lr then you will Know why I use Nothing under a .357.. 35 Remington is Better... .308 is Overkill... but not much to Bury... all Good...

    the site

    Not the only place suffering that way. Some are springing back a bit, but very Lame. FacePlace is taking 90% of the Traffic "online" .. As it becomes more and More Obvious, that FacePlace, censures all content. Some Forums are actually coming back. Content is Critical... I would offer, that this site was Built On "customization". Especially of Military arms.. Without relevant content ... Growth will be at risk.. I will try to do my Part... but... lets face it.. this is a Minority undertaking.. maybe more Reloadfing?? IDK But I will continue to stop In!!!
  15. Holy Shhhh Smokes!! I don't remember no crap like that in our little town!!! But, You are probably correct in the "having connections" thing.. Any system can be infiltrated or manipulated.. Not having such "powers" I would say, myself and the Majority had Luck or Nuthin!!
  16. It was a good Gig for me. I do Not think anyone Drafted "did" anything much to influence "where" they went... You were assigned wherever there was a Need!!! so Luck as much as anything I believe.
  17. Late in the "Draft" game... I had my Number drawn, went to AFEES station, took some tests etc...as well as physical.. Assigned to USN..left AFEES for G-Lakes Navel Training Center... Best thing that ever happened to me.. Never milked another cow, nor shoveled (poop) again... Re-upped after 2, for 4 more... then bailed... not my most intelligent move... wish I would have stayed...
  18. Sounds like alot of fun in the offing!!! Trust me, I have started with Worse.. While I personally have never been sucessful with making a Silk Purse, from a Sows Ear!!! I have had more Fun, than is probably Legal!!! Have some Fun with it.. and Please Report Back The Thing deserves to be Used, and Enjoyed!!! If you hang it on the wall... it is Useless!!!!
  19. Except that "Skilled Labor" was involved... as noted, Skill trumps Heavy Machinery...IMO
  20. But...But, But The color of Some States..is only a result of One major metropolitan area... in our case Detroit and surrounding...and maybe a smattering in Lansing, or Grand Rapids even... tho miniscule... Poin is, the rest of us Ignore those "places" and carry on as if we were all "Yoopers"... Thems that don't like it... can Kiss It..., they don't come around our part of the Rhubarb Patch anyways... Thank God
  21. In my iPhone it is under settings... scroll down to passwords.. HTH
  22. BTDT... the original Threads will "Ghost" thru.. Not a huge problem with Milder Cartridges.. I would not go Hotter than say... 270 WIN.. which IMO are plenty hot...and out of bounds for my liking...I am in the process of a .270X57... If I don't go to getting my Dragbike around pretty soon... in which case... see ya this winter!!!
  23. Google any "Live" version of Linux... no need to "start" your current software.. no reason to reinstall anything.. "Live Linux" don't need Nuthin but Hardware... use it to evict unwanted Software... simple ..again... if this was Rocket Science... I would Not be able to even talk about it!!!!
