  1. Being in a subdivision we normally get between 50 and 60. I really like seeing the new costumes they come up with every year. And the candy makes even the shyest (sp?) kids brave....
  2. Karl, look on cmos and change to boot from cd. Put the os cd in and start the computer. when booting the curser will go to the right top corner. push f12 while this is blinking and it will start loading the operating system. while it is installing it will find all of your hardware, and load the approprate drivers for you.

  3. Help please, I have just received my 1908 back from the gunsmith who did an outstanding job of bluing. And as I seem to do everything different, I asked him to blue the bolt as well. But when I tried to open the bolt, I thought it was stuck. I mean I really had to strain to get it open. It was perfect before it was blued. It seemed that I had just read this thread yesterday, so I came back and checked everything that was suggested. nothing seemed to help. As I have never lapped anything I thought I would try a little automotive rubbing compound as an abrasive. This did help, as long as I don't try to cock it, it works really smooth. But as soon as i try to compress the spring, it gives me fits. So I figgered that the next step was to use a real abrasive compound. But I have no idea what to use, or what grit to get...ect... Any suggestions? I don't want to over do, the only thing I have left to do on my first build is to bed the action. I am so close, but seem to be so far.... TIA...
  4. I also am building a 280 on an A&B barrel and run into the very same measurements. It appears that the reamer they use to short chamber needs to be replaced.
  5. Fritz, My wife and I were in Huntsville, AL, in 1974. I think they said that around 50 tornados went thru town that night. One of them took a dental lab down to the slab just across the street from us. It really does sound like a train. Mike
  6. Great looking rifle, What kind of finish did you use on the stock?
