  1. Well it`s happening. P.T.R. Ind. from Ct. are moving out of state. There are going to S.C. & the move should be final by the years end. They are taking 23 of there people with them & will hire about 140 after the move. The rest (gun co) will follow?
  2. I was at the range today that I`m a member. A day shooter & family stopped by to do some handgun shooting. got to talking & he was from down under. Been here about 10 years & still has kin back home land. I asked him about the firearm laws & he said it started with gun reg. & they were charged $25.00 when they reg all there guns. From there it went to $50.00 a year for the reg permits. Then they were told by there gov that it would be a yearly fee of $75.00 per gun for a permit for every gun owned & reg. When the people complained, there were told if they didn`t want to pay, then turn them in. If you don`t turn them in we will come & get them because we know were there are. He said that it didn`t matter if you were a hunter, target shooter or collector one way or another they got them & detroyed them , old, new, antique, or a collecter firearm, it didn`t matter. Now days a person can have a rifle or shotgun only by going through a lot of red tape & you have to have a good reason to own one. You are a target shooter or hunter, & you must have proof of were you shoot or hunt by permission forms. No one can have a firearm for home defence, no handguns, no semi-auto`s & only 3 shot mags. But he said, the bad guys still have there guns. AMERICAN GUN OWNERS BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE IT`S TO LATE.
  3. Hi, IMHO any one can modify just about anything if they have the know how & want to do it. My question; Has anyone taken a Mauser sporter stock that has the action screw spacing of 7 5/8" & opened it up for an action screw spacing of 7 7/8"? If so, how did it turn out & were there any problems doing it?
  4. What is going on in our country? Are people really that paranoid that they are buying anything & everything that has to do with firearms? No ammo, if your are a reloader, no bullets, no powder, no primers, & the latest that I just checked on, no reloading dies. All out of stock, Lee anyway. Did all these mfg just stop producing or what? When I go to range any more, I don`t even shoot my cartrige guns, all I shoot is my BP ML guns & I guess BP will start to dry up too? When is it going to let up?
  5. I wonder how much $$ he donates (pays) for those speical gun permits. He buys his way everywere, including DC in my opion.
  6. Well done, sounds like you have some good boys. Be proud of them.
  7. LOL Now that was a commerical.
  8. I`ve asked other places & still haven`t gotten a clear answer, so I`ll ask here & hope for the best. Subject pistol is a Colt 1911 45 ACP to carry concealed. With a round in chamber & hammer cocked & thumb safety on, just what does that safety do? In other words, what does it lock to prevent you from firing it? Does it lock the hammer or trigger? Also, with round in chamber why can`t it be carried with the hammer at half cock, isn`t this a safety also? Thanks in advance.
  9. Here is a good you-tube vid. I don`t know how to make them hot. Shooting USA`s Impossible Shot; The Old Sniper

  11. Go on line & google this, DHS supplier provides shooting targets of American gun owners. It`s a little shocking?
  12. I like it. Any one else who looks at this, be sure to click onto the full list.
  13. No need to reply, I figured it out myself.
  14. Hi, any one here know how to change out the coin slotted adjusting knobs to instal target knobs on a Lyman 57 style peep sight? Thanks in advance.
  15. That was good, I watched the whole thing. Thanks for posting it.
  16. OK lets say the rifle is a mauser 98 & you have a timney trigger with the safety on it that`s for said rifle. Can you do away with the safety lever on the trigger & just use the safety on the bolt? Why would you want do this, because you got the trigger NIB for next to nothing & you want keep the rifle stock? Thanks in advance.
  17. Yes glad all is well with him & he is back safe. Thank him for me.
  18. Hey Don, nice work. I think your C-clamp could use a little lube on the screw? LOL
