well I hope that Nigerian fellow can still contact me, as I am about to get filthy rich!

that I do not know. check over at gunboards or parallax bills, there are some finnophiles there which may know.

lacking any guidance over there, I would personally mix it with turpentine and apply to taste. start light, you can always add more later.

find it at a tack shop. it's used on hooves, among other things.

May we put the "...palling around with terrorists...." claim to bed?

not with that. Ibershoff, the author of that letter, is a registered Democrat who has supported Obama's campaign. he is biased. his letter did not disclose that. so he is unethical, too.

his letter also repeats Obama's misdirection, but NOBODY is accusing Obama of being a member of the weathermen or for participating in any of their acts, terrorist or otherwise. what people ARE accusing Obama of is associating with terrorist types. which he did. not only did they serve on a board together, but OBAMA LAUNCHED HIS LEGISLATIVE CAREER IN AYERS'S LIVING ROOM AT A RECEPTION HOSTED BY AYERS.

sleep with a dog, wake with fleas. you define yourself in many ways by the friends you keep. etc. etc. I do not hang around any terrorists, foreign or domestic. and I would not. and Obama cannot plead ignorance because ayers is still famous for his unrepentant association with the domestic terrorists called the weathermen/weather underground.

so obama's judgment in these matters licks balls. it blows. it is bad.

but it is not an isolated incident!

he has also said he would deal unconditionally with ahmedinejad, who is also a terrorist and supporter of terrorists (hezbollah). and he went behind the executive office's back to ask the Iraqis NOT to deal with bush, but with the congress instead. that is a diplomatic SIN and SNAFU of the highest order.

obama has displayed perfectly useless moral and diplomatic judgment, and his association with ayers is one part of the context illustrating that conclusion.

those are serious accusations, can you provide facts to back them up?

he has not released his LSAT so there is no way to show he needed affirmative action to get into harvard.

harvard law review notes are not signed, how do you know what he did?

He only got into Harvard Law School by affirmative action and extra special letters of recommendation from major politcal makers/fixers and Saudi money-men. His books were ghost-written, most likely by Ayers, the bomber. While head of the law review, he didn't write anything. In fact, if I recall, he only wrote one small article prior to picked head of the law review, which usually goes to people that can write.

 

He does read a speach real well.

because they are ignorant.

he was voted President of Law Review at Harvard Law School, and is thus deeply invested in the American system

WHOA not so fast

deeply invested? not necessarily. PLENTY of foreigners go to law schools here in the US, including harvard. you don't have to be a citizen to be on law review. just really friggin' smart and good at law school.

just go to the dealer. pretty cool place, been by there once.

thanks Bob, when I got home I took a close look at a 96 striker assembly. the front of the CP does indeed smack the inside face of the shroud.

the CP I have was welded a lot apparently, almost certainly refaced too. I imagine the dimensions and/or geometry is less-than-ideal.

I ended up ordering a FP and CP from numrich. not the very cheapest way to go, but I need to have this thing up and running fairly quickly, as I need to wring it out by early november. with a 4-mo.-old baby around, weekends have become quite short.

z1r, thanks for the pm. I thought about it, and if I had more time I would have done it, especially b/c the safety needs some modding. but I don't have the time.

I have a 91 argentine I am working on for a friend. it was worked on by a gunsmith friend but not stocked. I am putting a stock on it and working up loads.

at the range saturday, the firing pin broke. the first time I tried to fire it, it didn't. the FP was not protruding. so I unscrewed the cocking piece enough for the gun to fire, but it looks like it was too far. after some shots (60 or 70 or so) the flange at the front of the FP holding the striker spring broke. apparently it had been beaten by stopping the FP forward motion.

the cocking piece became deformed a bit, where the sear surface abuts the CP body, from slamming into the shroud. I can see where the CP was welded at the top. the sear surface looks unworn, so maybe it was not annealed.

when a small-ring mauser is fired, what is supposed to stop the forward motion of the firing assembly?

is the CP supposed to mate nicely with the cocking notch on the bolt body? that's how I visualize it here at work without any bolts in front of me.

BTW I got hit in the cheek with a few particles when the FP flange broke and the primer pierced. I was wearing safety glasses, so I don't know if my eyes would have been affected or not. but the gas did come straight back from a small primer issue. the action seems fine, but the gas handling leaves something to be desired as many of us have heard.

you can say that again. again.

First Lady I'd Rather Get Elected (than *uck)

hahaha. cankles. and flirge. that was great.

I don't know how to reload for a .22, or even if you can....

oh you can; it's just unneccesary, expensive, time-consuming, and difficult. given that, it's surprising I haven't tried it yet .

actually reloading is not supposed to be an option.

you will want heavier projectiles at higher velocities, in high-quality ammo, is my guess. unless, the transonic shift is destabilizing your bullet past 50 yards, and causing problems. then, start with subsonic ammo, and see if it doesn't help.

the folks at benchrest central can probably help you out. they seem nice enough over there. I have poked around a bit looking for info on a winchester 57 I got.

They supplied three with some Argentine 1935 actions I bought and thye are by far the worst bolts I've ever come accross....

what was so bad about them? pitting, or what?

suckers are kinda small, no? smaller than smelt.

can you imagine having all that stuff?

just mount them on the walls like I do in my range room. in the vault itself, where most of my guns are, I use sub-vaults.

At least the Pres. did something right of lasting value.

amen to that! he did VERY well with the Court.

I ordered a mosin and a hungarian M95, and some 7.62x54R from century last night.

I would not pay $14 for actual shipping. make him justify the costs. offer to pay the $54 by paypal right now, and start hammering away at the shipping. actual shipping = actual shipping. not shipping and handling. not packaging.

Figured I'd whine a bit.

 

I bid on and won a receiver sight for a Winchester 94. The Buy It Now price was 65.00. I won it for 54.00. The buyer sent me an invoice for 68.00 (54.00 plus 14.00 shipping). The auction says "buyer pays actual shipping costs". Unless he's shipping overnight, it doesn't cost 14.00 to ship a receiver sight. Though I should have asked him to quote shipping costs before I bid. I think one would reasonably expect shipping to be mush less than 14.00.

 

Anyway, here's my contact with the seller. I'm a bit miffed but I figure I can find another sight anyway. I'm sure this happens often and at least I didn't lose anything.

I made a mistake and relisted the auction without realizing that item was already sold...Please do not send payment. I am sorry for any inconvenience; I hope it is not too much trouble for you. Please respond to let me know you are not sending payment. I just discovered it at this moment.

(Is it radi or radiuses?)

radii is most correct, but then you sound like a snob. radiuses works, but is gramatically inferior. the easiest way out is to state that you 'cut a radius in each base.'

This is why washed-out Garand muzzles (that are only cleaned at the muzzle) are such a problem.

* * *

I wonder if it would be possible to create a die with a very gradual taper that could be used to constrict muzzles slightly?

there were some south korean garands imported that had the muzzles formed down to a smaller size. dunno if kim did it over there or bubba did it over here. I seem to recall the word "rolled" being used to describe the process, but am not certain. they could have been swaged, crimped or rolled.

I have a c&r, so you can ship it directly to me. I have a 98/22 or two I am not shooting....
