  1. "There are a few Post Offices in southern California that proudly fly the flag of Mexico and local postal mgmt. has refused to stop. Far as I know the Mexican flags are still up." If true, please post pics, links, or locations. This will not continue. I don't live in "Mexifornia" yet.
  2. Way to go. Me like venison. lol Congrats to the Young hunter. Is that a Ca. buck?
  3. """Would the Shlien be short chambered enough to ream to AI if I go that route without having to set it back?""" If in doubt call em. But typically, YES. Most short chambered barrels are cut .040 to .050" short. Plenty to play with. AZR and Ken both have good low recoil options. I love the 22-250. Shoot all day in shirt sleeves and no recoil pad. Yet reach Way TF out there for a pinpoint hit on a 400 yd yote who never heard it coming. LOL JM2c
  4. Welcome to the Nut house. Yep, what Sailorman said. Yugo bolts are shorter, but the lenght difference is just between the third lug and guide rib. http://www.hoosiergunworks.com/catalog/mauser_reference.html
  5. Good Catch Dude, Those Az jackrabbits are in deep doo doo now.
  6. Big Congrats to the lovely young lady. Her first dove is probably already eaten, but that smile is a lifelong memory.
  7. Handling would depend on how the rifle is balanced. An inch of barrel is worth between 30 and 60 fps depending on the load. Or 60 to 120 FPS overall for 2 inches. That same 2 inches increases muzzle blast significantly. Think "flame throwing thunderstick". I have an 18" barreled md 600 Rem. 308 carbine. Target crown is fastest and easiest to cut on a lathe. Requires no special tool. Recesses the actual crown juncture slightly more than a radiused crown for more protection. As to accuracy, no diff as long as the crown is cut concentric with the bore.

  8. Everything has value. [a]Check prices on all the parts required to turn a stripped reciever into a complete action. {bolt body, bolt parts, ejector box complete, bottom metal,mag spring and follower, etc} Then prices of comparable complete actions. Subtract [a] from if there is a difference and use that as a guideline for stripped reciever value. Other wise you can think you're getting a heck of a deal on a stripped reciever. And end up with more than it's worth upon completion. JM2c
  9. Of course racists like Sharpton, Jackson, Wright and their ilk will push hard for a civil case. How else can they stir the pot and keep their own fugly faces in front of a camera? That's all they care about. That's how they line their pockets. MSNBC actually paying Sharpton as a commentator is just another disgracefull show of their BSM race baiting reporting. But what will the Martin's get after all the hoopla of a civil suit except face time for their instigators? Zimmerman is broke as a church mouse except for a Defense Trust that is set up in his name. Not even an A-hole like Eric O-holder can trump up Federal Charges against Zimmerman.
  10. Sharpton is a race baiting piece of sheet who has made millions of dollars promoting his racist agenda. This entire case was a travesty from the time the State Attorney overstepped their bounds and caved to a bunch of racist azzholes and filled unfounded charges in a case the police had already found no cause for as well as the County DA. It was never about race no matter what Sharpton says. GZ didn't even know what color TV was "listen to the tapes". Until the thug jumped out of the bushes he was hiding in and attacked him. It was about self defense and the right to protect yourself from attack. "Live like a thug, die like a thug. Good riddance." JM2c
  11. Hey, Happy B-day Dave. Glad to hear you're hav'n a good'n. OBTW how's the shoulder treating you since you stopped working?
  12. Don't bother Dude. It works as is. Just click the play triangle at left and listen to Uncle Del tear it up. I just get frustrated as an old dog trying new things and just getting confused.
  13. IMO that judge has no business on the bench. She is more bias than the media. None of the thugs prior bad behavior is admissable. Can't mention his Twitter tag name "NO LIMIT NIGGA" or any of the pics he posted. His lenghy school disaplinary history including drugs, fights, burglary, recieving stolen property. Or his Twitter post where he bragged about beating up a bus driver cause he "dissed Him". Posted fighting vids and him as a minor showing off his illegaly possesed pistol. Yet GZ's whole life was put on trial including his schools and classes he took at Junior Colleges. His parents only want justice for poor thug-azz Trayvon. Trayvon already got the justice he deserved. Live like a punk thug. Die like a punk thug. JM2c
  14. That's what I did and it looked like a link in the preview but came out looking like it looks in the post. It works as a direct play of the music just aggravating when you feel dumb>
  15. Dude, ya going senile or what??? Dave, your handle on this forum was "strait shooter" not "mauserman48". "Mauserman48" was and maybe still is your E-mail address. Do a forum search maybe you can find yourself. FC can probably Email you your passwrod. Me, I'm a firm advocate of the KISS rule. That's why I'm "pacrat" where ever I go. If in your fiddling around endeavors you run across a long gone fella named "Delbert McGrath" he was AWESOME. And also a CHAMPION FIDDLER. Several times Ca. State Champ. And many other states too. He was also BTW my Uncle Del. Before passing away several yrs ago he lived in your old town of Sac. http://www.voyagerrecords.com/NWMP3/Possum%20and%20Sweet%20Taters%20DM.mp3 Here is a short lick of him doin "Possum in the Sweet Taters" Re-edit........well crap, I don't like this new format cause ya can't link stuff, I'm not smart enuff. Looks like a link on the preview highlited and all but not when you submit. Dave, google him if interested. I'm gonna go get a fricken beer.
  16. I hate it when that happens. Know what else really burns my buns? Websites that want you to look at their videos then block you from looking at their videos after you clik their link by locking up your computer screen until you give in and subscribe to their PIMP web sites so they can spam you. Screw em......I'll go check out you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdGvST3v3Zo&bpctr=1373149676 JM2c
  17. Optional magazine That's one cool bullet spitter.
  18. Well, up until Sept. 11, of 2001 anyway. Then the stumbling blocks between the CIA and NSA who both knew the 19 scumbags were terrorists and also knew they were in the country but refused to tell the only Federal LEA the FBI allowed to work within US borders. The petty childish pissing contests mostly driven by fund appropriations between alphabet agencies of the gubermint caused nothing to be done until it was to late and the towers were down and the finger pointing began. Now DHS is just another worthless bloated overpriced piece of Gubermint . Which still doesn't do what it was supposed to do. JM2c
  19. The simple fact that the number one cause of death for young black men is being murdered by other young black men is totally lost on race baiting Lib-Tards. That gets you no headlines at all. But let a person other than a young black man shoot a young black man and out comes the Sharptons, Jacksons, O-hole POTUS, and every other racist piece of crap in the country yelling for other than young black mans blood. Since 1964 when Looong Blow Job created the United States of Welfare the Socialist Democrap party has done everything possible to create and maintain the fallacy that todays black citizens are some how victims of all others than black citizens, This is how they then cater to the illusion and gain their votes. Watch the movie............"Runaway Slave". For a full understanding of what is going on race wise in this country. No it is not a movie depicting the South in the 1860's. It is a movie produced, directed, and starred in by a very smart black man who used to be a local NAACP president before he saw what is happening to his people on the "Government Plantation". He interviews black folks from both sides of the Welfare State Victim fence.
  20. "White Privilege", Meaning what? Whites should feel privileged to pay for all the non whites that are freeloaders. And have gaurantees of more than fair treatment such as Affirmative Action reverse racist crap. IMO, anything what so ever that makes a distinction or sets a diversity quota based on race is totally racist. JM2c
  21. NAACP will label it an Anti Affirmative Action Racist organization in the making. Ever ask why their isn't a Caucasion Congressional Caucus???
  22. Hopefully the next door this Ahole kicks in has a shotgun pointed at it from inside.
  23. Flatulant Fowl, Idea for globes is to use a sacrificial form inside. Place heads covering exterior of form like a mosaic. Quickly tack pieces and keep a spray squirty bottle handy so as not to melt form. After solidly tacking. Remove form from interior. Then weld. http://www.foamballinnovation.com/ Karl, glueing and welding are two processes that when mixed, rarely end well. To glue, pieces have to be touching at adhesive point. Same place welds must be. Can't weld over glue or any other contaminate. It just boils up in a bubbly tsunami of what is called "birdshit". JM2c
  24. Watched an entire series of documentaries on NETFLIX. Produced by the Military Channel. Titled "WEAPONOLOGY". Last several of the series dealt with hand held stand off weapons such as the TOW and Tanks. Panthers kicked ass on Shermans. One Sherman crew vet said " if you saw a Panther or Tiger and it was swinging it's gun at you, you better get out of there or you're dead". As stated the only advantage the Sherm had was numbers and mobility. 50,000 Shermans saw duty in WW11. Germans fielded only 8,800 of the Panthers. Sherms could be off loaded on beaches and carried on rail cars. They were cannon fodder. Sherm gun was short barreled and slow @ 2,000 fps firing HE projectiles for infntry support. Panther had longer barrel bigger 75 and later 88mm bore @ 3,485 fps and carried AP ammo. Opened up Sherms like tuna cans. The three big innovations that made the T34 an awesome weapon that could take out anything else on the field at the time were big road wheels with easily removable trax, so they could pull off the trax and do 60 mph down the road. Then retrack in minutes for off road battle. Independent Suspension for faster, safer broken ground travel with a smoother ride so they could shoot on the run. And SLOPED ARMOR that deflected the majority of hits they took. And of course the big fast gun idea they got from the Germans. SURPRISE.... All of these innovations were developed by an American Civilian Engineer [don't remember his name just now]. He offered his stuff to the DOD to help the War effort. Since he was a lowly civilian he was PooPooed and laughed out of the War Dept. He showed his stuff to our allies the Russians and they snapped it up and put it into production ASAP and had the best battle tanks of the era. The key ingediant of any standoff weapon for anti armor is the [shaped charge] which used a piece of soft copper in the shape of a cone to become an instantaneous "PLASMA TORCH" to cut through steel. Armor of the Abrahms battle tank is still TOP SECRET. But is known to consist of "LAYERED REACTIVE ARMOR" to defeat the penetration of shaped charges. It is armor that has layers which are backed by impact activated explosive charges that fight an incoming weapon with an outgoing explosion. And steel gridwork around perimeter like iron bars protecting your house windows that force shaped charges hitting it to detonate early and not be able to bridge the gap and penetrate. Amazing stuff............You watch this series of shows and wonder how anyone survives a modern battlefield confrontation with the US Military.
  25. Dude, getting screwed over whether for $13 or $1,300 is still screwed over. I have a tendency to start asking to speak to the supervisor, then the manager, then what is the CEO's name? I told a C/S gal recently that if she insists on jerking me off it would feel much better if she reached in my pants to do it. That got me immediate access to her supervisor. In your case, I've heard good and bad concerning Taurus C/S mostly the latter. I'd just drill and tap the original steel unit for a SAE set screw. JM2c
