Posted this in another thread, but it fits here too. I hope they all get shot like this:

Honestly, I've never noticed any issues which lapping would help. The parts that I was more interested in getting was the ring alignment tools. I might just get this though: http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/sight-scope-installation-tools/scope-alignment-rods/sinclair-scope-alignment-tool-prod36960.aspx I figured if the rings are aligned correctly, the lapping would become even less needed.

it's been years, but when I went I used a 12 gauge pump, Remington 1200 (2 3/4"), with 7 1/2 shot. only because I only own 12s. I have a Rem 870 but have yet to go Dove hunting with it because I have had a lousy time trying to find a good dove field. I use the clothespin decoys and depending on the field I clip them on whatever is better for a field of fire. No dog so have to retrieve myself, and with how rusty I am I probably won't be doing much of that

I wrestled with where to place this, in the General area or here, So if it need be it can be moved there, but I was fascinated by this video, a piece of glass defeating a 38 Special. The glass is something of a novelty in scientific community and worth a look see as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert's_Drop This guy puts out a few other videos but not all gun related, but science(ish) related.

Same here, I have all the peripherals except some of the lapping parts. At this point, it will probably be cheaper to just purchase the kit and sell the extra parts.

Hope the rats didn't get him.

I can kind of see their point. There is a fine line on what can be seen as a straw purchase and having the one that does the background check pay is one way to insure that they do not violate the rule of law. When a gun is given to someone, it is still the purchaser that gets his/her background checked, not the one that is gifted the gun. When my daughter gave me a Rugger Mark III , I went with her, ran my BG AND paid, so there would be no real or perceived issues. Because many gun laws are not real clear, many places choose to err on the side of caution.

I just can't keep up with it, by the time I'm done typing, the conversation has moved on.

Pretty sure it supports the iMac, but not sure on the other two. Not much of an Apple fan.

Wait, if you're using Firefox on a pc, I think you have add-ons that will present the text to you in any color you wish. This is why I used it on my pc, that and the pop-up blockers. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/collections/nfroidure/wysiwyg/

Yea, same here in Clarksville nice and clear all the way through the entire 3 or so hours. I also took my glasses off for the total portion, then a bright sliver as bright as a flash slipped through and back to the glasses.

Don't change on my account, I just highlight the text to read it.

I have a question, I've been seeing a few posts with dark text that almost disappears on the dark background. @MP5_Rizzo, can you enlighten me on what font color, browser you used to see if it's me or the forum? On my end, I'm viewing this on my tablet with chrome, but it does this on explorer on my work pc as well.

Probably subs, in the heavier range, it needs a faster twist.

I don't know about others, but I don't find her particularly attractive. So personally, I'd pass on any show.

Blue loctite should be fine, having said that, I didn't use any for years and never had an issue on any of my rifles. Just tighten each screw snug at first then tighten in a cross pattern to keep from warping the mounts.

I liked the nice temp drop.

To boresight, bolt actions without a laser, I pull the bolt and look through it while in a cradle or lead sled and aim it at a reference point. Then, without moving the rifle I move the crosshairs to the reference point.

I've always mounted my own, even before the internet except when the place I bought my rifles offered free installation. Nowadays, YouTube can walk you through a few ways to do it, with minimal tools. Now, if the new weapon will be something to compete with, it may be worth taking it in.

They all moved to my backyard. I haven't hunted squirrels in quite some time, but I may have to cull a few out back. I have two large black walnut trees, one in the back and one out front, the squirrels leave a mess everywhere with the nuts. I have to get me a good air rifle, while there is no law against shooting here, I don't want any issues.

Ironic isn't it?

It's better, more expensive, but better to make your own valve. I refill my bottles for a heater I use while hunting, I refill from my 20lb cylinders which saves me a whole bunch each season. The DIY valve has a shutoff valve which lets you keep the large cylinder upside down until all bottles have been refilled.

I could never own one of those, being retired military I just can't look past K.I.A.

I noticed that the forecast a week or two ago looked gloomy, but a couple news stations are now saying that there is just a small chance of cloudiness. I just have to wonder if that is true or if they have been instructed to tone down the forecasts. If they predict higher probabilities of overcast during the event, I bet more reservation cancelations will happen.
