But the fact that something was among us was plain to see. As the choir sang "I Surrender All" the squirrel ran up Harv Newlan's coveralls Harv leaped to his feet and said, "Somethin's got a hold on me!"

For Android, I really RSS feed readers. You can't post, but reading is really quick (the headlines/topics). This website doesn't seem to support RSS, or at least well.

A solution of 25% bleach (75% tap water, 25% from the bleach bottle) will do wonders on a shower stall. Let it sit for 15 minutes. I don't worry about rinsing. I just spray using whatever old, empty spray bottle I have around; Windex bottles work nice, but the bleach is hard on the mechanisms of all the spray bottles I've tried. You'd want to empty the bottle and run some clean water through it after you're done. Or you can buy the stuff that women buy.

Try a different weight of bullet or different brand of ammunition? Try some handloads with Sierra or Speer bullets? Try a different scope? Put a pad under the barrel at the fore end tip? A business card or two might work. Is the mount solid? Screws could be bottomed-out. The scope tube might be rigid enough to hide a loose base.

A co-worker many years ago claimed to have taken more deer with the .22LR than all other calibers combined. I believed him then, and still do today. He carried a .22 pistol in his pack when he hiked, and when opportunity arose, he took advantage. What he did was not legal. He was also very strategic, and opportunities had to be ideal; the fact that he did so much hiking increased the number of ideal situations for him. I would never say -- even based-on his success with the .22LR -- that the round is a great deer cartridge. The article on the Beretta 70/71 and its use as a tactical weapon is deceptive: it was used (as described in the article) as an offensive weapon, and it was used under rather ideal situations. Stalking a target, catching them off-guard, and firing a weapon a point-blank range into vital areas is not defensive. Defense implies unknowns, and could mean a well-armed, moving target, with significant distance. I would never want to underestimate the killing power of the .22LR or even the .25 ACP; both are more than capable of killing when hitting vital areas at close range. I would be uncomfortable with both in a less than ideal confrontation. I'll agree with that claim that the .380 ACP offers more energy and more damage potential than the .22LR, all in a fairly compact pistol.

Looking more at the 788 Mag, the stops aren't at the top; the magazine stop is at the bottom. Very simple.

Ya know, the Remington 788 .308 has a single-stack, 3-round magazine: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?pid=723530&catid=4346 http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/remington-788-3-rd-magazine.aspx?a=408001 You might be able to make U-channel guides (roll pins at the tops for stops?) for the fore and aft of the Mauser magazine. Biggest issue would be the release. Not very "Rambo", but do-able.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimes#War_crimes_trials "Soon after the war, the Allied powers indicted 25 persons as Class-A war criminals, and 5,700 persons were indicted as Class-B or Class-C war criminals by Allied criminal trials. Of these, 984 were initially condemned to death, 920 were actually executed, 475 received life sentences, 2,944 received some prison terms, 1,018 were acquitted, and 279 were not sentenced or not brought to trial...." "Between 1946 and 1951, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, the Soviet Union, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, the Netherlands and the Philippines all held military tribunals to try Japanese indicted for Class B and Class C war crimes. Some 5,600 Japanese personnel were prosecuted in more than 2,200 trials outside Japan.... More than 4,400 Japanese personnel were convicted and about 1,000 were sentenced to death." The German numbers per Wikipedia weren't as large, but were still significant.

I watch the show with my daughter too. She has her favorite cast members each season. The thing I like about it is the "reality" of the show. Show many of these type of shows aren't "real" at all (Bachelor, Cradle of Love, Real World, Survivor, Kardashians, etc.). The cast starts the day with a rough script of the day's events: fights are staged, conflicts are scripted, and outcomes are predetermined. "Project Runway" appears sincere and genuine in every way, and episode endings are a surprise to the viewer, cast, and crew. The thing that draws me to firearms is the "process", from start to finish. There's nothing more gratifying than building a rifle from basic components, putting your heart and soul into it, and seeing the end result as little holes on paper. Reloading ammunition is no different; it involves devotion, patience, and focus. The majority of my rifles have never had factory ammunition run through them; it just wouldn't be enjoyable for me if I wasn't creating something. Is designing and fabricating clothing any different? The cast on "Project Runway" are true craftsmen/craftswomen, each having vision and dedication to their trade. The producers also present them as human beings with all their "warts and blemishes". Their failures and shortcomings truly sting, and viewers wince during the judgment segments at the end of each episode; the judges are brutal and unforgiving. You see devastated people being sent home, and those left behind have to worry about the next challenge. The only other show that comes close is "Iron Chef America", which I also relish (pun intended).

How tight is "tight"? It almost sounds like you have a 38-40 cylinder rather than a 44-40. Could the factory (or someone else) have put a 38-40 cylinder on a 44-40 frame? Dimensions for the outside mouth diameter on a 38-40 is 0.417; for a 44-40, it's 0.443. That's 0.026. All other dimension are similar or identical.

Actually, reading your original post reminds me sooo much of the movie(s) "La Cage Aux Folles"/"Birdcage" and "La Cage Aux Folles II". The original French movies (I & II) were much better, tasteful, and less "in your face". The American "Birdcage" was way too over-the-top, preferring shock value to story; it was passable and humorous at times, and Robin Williams and Nathan Lane did a fair job with the material. If you haven't seen any of the movies, I'd give one a rent. It'll be a predecessor of things to come.

Dear Freakin' out in SC: I'd let the all wedding guests know that your home will be for you, your wife, and your children only. All other guests will either need to stay at a hotel or with the chickens in the coop. Be sure and have "Julia" wear her low heels; she'll need her energy when you and her "cut it up" on the dance floor. Etiquette would dictate, that as the father of the bride, you get to "lead". Abby

I've never played with a Turk. My limited understanding was that the Turks set up the 98s to use small ring barrels. If that's the case, then that inner shoulder should be correct. You can set up the Turk 98 to match a standard 98 (measured from the receiver face to the inner torque shoulder), or you can set it up to handle a small ring barrel. The difference is 0.020". I'm guessing that 98 Turks set the barrel on the receiver face, not the inner torque shoulder. I don't know if that's a fact though. I'd want to determine the distance from the receiver face to the bolt face for the 91, then compare it to that of the Turk; that really will determine the need for that shim. If you need the shim, you have a neat way of adjusting headspace.

Were it me, I'd want to match the depth from the depth of the receiver face to the bolt face on either a Swede or Spanish Mauser. On the Turk, aren't there two diameters? There's the handguard extension face, and there's an inner face, no? My understanding was that the Turks were set up to take small ring barrels; that inner face should be spot-on. DeHass lists the shank length for 93-96 Mausers as 0.645". 98 Mausers are listed as 0.625". Your 91 barrel is listed as 0.715", so for any action from 93 to 98, you'll need to trim some off the barrel, or use a spacer or shim.

Spicy beef jerky goes well in care packages. To a safe and uneventful deployment!

I carried the M92, and overall I thought it was a well made and designed pistol. My only gripe about it was the rather anemic 9mm ammo. I never had any issues with reliability or function. If the US would keep the Beretta and switch to the .40 S&W, would this even be an issue?

That's much better. I'm a big Sierra, Barnes, and Speer fan. Accuracy has never been an issue with Speer boat tails. I had a box of 140 grain Sierras in 6.5 that just sang.

I'll play Devil's Advocate here... I interpret this as being there in ADVISORY capacity, helping the Afghans better control the borders between themselves and their neighbors. A prime indicator the the word "Customs". If the Afghans can control the free-flow of weapons and "bad guys" into their country, they have a much better chance of winning. Actually, this should be the number one priority for both the US and Afghanistan. The stickler is that DHS hasn't been doing the best job shoring up US borders, unless "don't detain them at any cost" is an acceptable solution. Officials from Arizona might have a better handle on the issue of securing borders.

Is that horizontal stringing the same load? Something is wrong, beyond two bad barrels. At 100 yards, I'd expect no more than 2.5" with the worst barrel. You're shooting like lightning (lightning never strikes the same spot twice). - Did you actually put bedding compound under the receiver ring in the Ramline stock? I have a Ramline as well, and I bedded the front receiver ring only. The receiver rear screw is supported, and both receiver sides are "floated" (I can run a playing card along the full length, up to the rear of the ring). My barrel is also fully floated. I have always managed sub 1" groups with that setup. I like the stock. It has minimal drop and fits me better than many others I've tried. - For the bases, put the screws in individually and check for wiggle. You could have an issue with a screw bottoming out. - You need to try a different scope. If the above two items are set (bedding and bases) your only remaining holdout is that scope. I'm suspecting it's the scope.

I though that was done using an India stone?

For a pre-98 Mauser (93,95,96), a 6mm Rem is a little much. Ya know, the .250 Savage and .257 Roberts are damn close to the 6mm, and will do a good number on both varmints and deer.

What is your name? What is your quest? What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I'm rather curious how it performs on paper, especially compared to the AR-15/M4. One thing I've always liked about the AR rifles is the "balance" you get with stock, military-grade variants. They're very comfortable at the range in the classic 3 positions (prone, kneeling, and standing). I'm wondering how heavy the rifle feels compared to its competitors.

The main locking lugs keep things from moving to the rear. The cocking cam just helps cock the action. A soft cam surface will wear quickly and give the bolt a gritty feel.
