NRA files for bankruptcy and plans move

Just for your information, The barrel thread shank is identical to the Winchester 1892 being 20 TPI x about .808 . The only thing you would have to do aside from head space is cut a second extractor like notch at 6:00 for the bolt face extension. Also, I would put about a 75-80 percent chance that the barrel will clock to the correct depth and head space to be good right off the git go. Winchesters held really close spec on the 73 & 92. To me, if you have a sewer pipe bore, that pretty much kills any REAL excitement for the gun other than a historical artifact. If you barrel it with a good 92 barrel and turn it into a shooter, making it a mongrel that can put down a varmint or flip a can reliably, its well worth the different print model on the barrel. Ebay usualy has numerous original barrels in various shape and prices. 32-20 is very common to see swap out barrels on Ebay. Heres my 1892 with a Jap Winchester 357 chambered 73 barrel screwed on. Originally a rotted out 25-20 octagon.

To do that, you need a mag tube slug. Thats a steel pin that is the ID of the tube. tap it into the end, put some leather around the tube and over where the pin is inside, then vise grips over the leather and turn the tube slightly in both directions a few times and that should loosen it up enough to pull out. And remember, oil & 0000 steel wool is your best friend on cleaning off the bubbled up rust surface but go lightly to preserve the brown patina. Good luck Oh, and you can use mag tube slugs to tap dents out. Same thing as Shotgun bore slugs. I got a box full of em...

Oh crap..... got em turned around with Kimber! brain fart...

I'd go with the Marlin also. Besides, I have a weird problem with Henry. We all know they are made in Yonkers New York. That 16th District is run by anti 2nd Liberal Democrats (all 4 reps) since its nothing more than a NYC suburb in Westchester county. The ONLY way they stay in business in that location is by paying into the DNC cash flow machine. Thats the same machine that has gutted the 2nd in the rest of the state. I hate to go politics on this simple question but thats how I see it. Now if they followed Beretta's lead, Yeah go for that Henry.

Prayers for Nashville!!! Explosion reported
xtriggerman replied to A.J. Holst's topic in General Chat
Clearly the color vid shows no missile smoke trail and it has 14 seconds of pre bomb time recorded. The B&W puts the trail at 6 seconds before the blast but possibly a slow mo clip. So, more than likely a dubbed job. But in this air born clip, look at the big hole in the red wall right above the lifted holes of the side walk. I can understand the RV damage zone but this hole/ side walk damage seems a bit strange. (53) Witnesses report hearing gunshots, warning before vehicle explosion in downtown Nashville - YouTube -

Here you go... just watch for the smoke trail before the missile? hit. Its of interest that penetrator missiles DO NOT hit on impact. They are delayed detonators so as to get maximum penetration inside the target sight. (52) Nashville Explosion Caught on Tape (Second Angle) - YouTube -

Heres a full video of the launch and hit of the missile. Could it be dubed? maybe... its at the end of the article.

Ha, Ha, this is a full auto trigger just like mentioned, a light trigger assist that by keeping light finger tension on the trigger taps it into full auto. With the ATFE on a roll these days, these guys are in la la land!

Sig Sauer Mosquito Sport 22LR Thoughts - Trust the TGO
xtriggerman replied to Snaveba's topic in Handguns
My son had the GSG version of the mosquito and it matched the comments here. He sold it and earlier this spring bought the sig version. He said the ones made after a certain date were improved in some way and bought one of those. We shot a couple of boxes threw it and I think it had 1 FTF out of the 100 plus rounds we shot that day. I had no intention of buying one so didnt pay much attention to the date thing. I use a 1960's High Standard Light weight That I made an aluminum sleeved barrel for and it literally has rifle like accuracy off a bench. I had tuned a few Buck mark triggers years ago and have to say, that would be my choice if you like the traditional auto pistol. One time, I got a Buckmark silhouette for a guy and new, it had a barrel with rough rifling in it. I sent it to Browning and a week latter it came back with a perfect bore'ed barrel and a free extra mag. For you plastic frame guys, dont get to close to the camp fire! -
Sheepal..... I bought back when plentiful & cheap. Wolf 9mm at 14 cents a round. 7.62x39, $179 a 1K case..... peanuts. so you get a few cases and be done with it. Mil surp 7.62 x 51 South African was like .47 cents a round when I bought the rubber battle bags. Funny how fear can tick the sheep off so much. All bleeting bloody murder thinking they dont want to be lead to some kind of Over reach slaughter when the REAL deal is long term storage food. THATS what you need the ammo for. To protect that commodity. Its going to be all about food.

Most of Potterfield's articles were decent but when he did the AK magazine conversion on an SKS, boy, did he butcher the hell out of that poor SKS receiver! Now since its not proper to knock anothers gun work without hands on knowledge of the work, Here's what I wrote up on how to do that conversion. I sincerely hope it saved the destruction of good SKS receivers. The Potterfield mod-ed guns will have huge amounts of metal removed from the mag well rails weakening the right side of the recoil shoulder by a serious amount.

Heres the one I used as a 10". I put a 12" on my brother's 45 build. Nice if you want slim line yet not lose the muzzle quad rail.

Oh, I think you have to register. its a free sight.

I like to thank those here that served America. I have not. But I find it interesting that my father who was wounded 3 times on the Russian front as a conscript Officer in the German army was very religious due solely to his service, yet had zero belief in life after death. He just couldn't get his head around that. A Waffen SS bud of his would say if you didn't believe when you went in the front lines, You did if you survived it all. Its too bad it has to come to that for many folks to develop a faith in God thats so well hidden from the 5 senses. On another note, memory loss has a lot to do with anesthesia. That effect soars in folks beyond the age of 70 if anesthetized. The web is full of these sorts of studies.... Why anesthetics cause prolonged memory loss -- ScienceDaily

Pop Pop, Its good to mention this in forums since it is the entire reason why we are here in the first place. As the Korens say, "you were born to die, prepare for it". Oddly, I have a few crossed brain cells that on occasion gives me the ability to see & at times talk to folks I know that passed. Especially a brother I had that had a very violent death when he was 19 back in 1976. After his death, I would talk to him in dreams about what he was up to on the other side. Those dreams came years apart as he learned his greater depth of perception. Everyone is in a different level of self perception. Life times builds your ability to understand the expanse of the spiritual realms and accumulate knowledge if your humble enough to let it in. The most sad thing today is folks dont know how incredibly corrosive it is to lie. Lying carries over into a entrained subconscious spiritual reflex that puts you with spirits of similar mindset at death. This life gives each of us the ability to expand our awareness and movement threw the various "mansions" as Christ had mentioned once relieved of the encumbrance of blood and bone. He who uses lies to move threw this world retards their forward movement into the white light of all knowledge. It reinforces the hidden desire of dark and hidden places that fear the Light of God. If only people knew what lies do to them selves beyond this world...... Spiritualy speaking they are as little babies enamored with the light of this world but this is not the everlasting. Fear of death is their ball and chain..... Faith has yet to make it into their bucket list.

Try and run magnum shells threw it and see if that cycles it. 1100's can be finicky with the power level your using. Alot of them won't cycle the cheap skeet loads.

Wow, you certainly dont see a pre 64 in 257 every day! Very nice. I loved doing M70 triggers. I used to refit the seer contacts to 3.25 lbs in a zero creep crisp break for the hunter / shooters. John M Browning would have been proud of the simplistic design, yet reliable. Good Luck with it!

Going to a gunsmithing school like i did is the best way aside from being an apprentice in a full service shop with a established gunsmith. When I went to the Pennsyvainia Gunsmith school (18 months full time) back in 1979 the first section of schooling was learning machine operations by making a precision machinist square and a wide variety of various smithing tools and fixtures. Some guys simply didnt have the ability to form metal into the specs of the blue prints we were given. They were quietly asked to cancel their schooling so another person waiting for an opening could attend. I find it difficult to think I could learn from books the fine points of gunsmithing. A hands on instructor will cut to the chase if your screwing up a lathe threading operation or cutting into wood grain in the wrong direction. Thats not to say books And vids are worthless but would take a much longer time to understand the right & wrong way. I remember a friend of mine got some books like you want to do and he asked me where do I put my thread cutting tool when I go to put threads on a barrel shank. I told him what they told us in school, Just below the center point of the barrel or live center point. He snapped back, wrong... the book says dead center. What the book didnted tell him is, its far more accurate below the center line because you never run the risk of setting the cutting tool too high above the center line. If even a tiny bit above, you run the risk of the barrel force pinching the tool into a chatter cut. And that will destroy a clean barrel thread. Back then there was only one Gunsmithing book we were required to buy and that was GUNSMITHING by Roy F. Dunlap. The book cover all the gunsmithing opperations needed to build custom sporting/target rifles in the traditional sense of wood and blued steel. Also an extensive how to on National Matching the M1 Garand. In its day, it was the most comprehensive & meticulous Gunsmithing book available by an acclaimed master gunsmith. Whay ever you do, be skeptical of Youtube gunsmithing. Some of those guys on there should stay in the basements. Moving foward, be ready to probably screw up some of your own guns before you practice on others. Tools and machines is another issue all together. I'd be utterly lost without them. Good Luck

A common mistake in selecting a scope for the AR is the fact that it is not large objective friendly with the common full top rail. The scoping geometry of the AR pretty much maxes out with a 40mm objective IF you want the gun to handle with a good check weld and your close to medium range sight ins are relatively close as in point of aim. A 40mm gives you 2 1/4" above the line of bore. A 68mm is going to put you some where around 3 and 3/8ths above the bore line. Mounting high over the bore is never good for holding a greater zero'd point of aim with in short to medium ranges. Its like instead of watching your bullet fly from the back side of the bullet, your looking down at it from above its flight path. Leupold fought the whole marketing of greater light transmission with anything bigger than 40mm for years with data but in the end it was easier to sell scopes with the "bigger is all ways better" schtick to the general public. A 40 mm can be mounted with basic Weaver extra high rings. Good luck on finding a good fit for a monster like a 68 mm.

The most likely is 1) the extractor is too tight. 2) the extractor has a rough rim pick up radius. 3) the firing pin hole in the bolt face has a raised burr. 4) Rough/poorly mated feed ramp. 5) Mag catch casting is insufficient and or cut poorly to allow magazine not seating up high enough into the slide mag lip cuts. 6) the barrel / slide barrel bore geometry is out of spec allowing the barrel to pitch up at feed cycle, jamming the barrel up ward while out of battery. Thats off the top of my head. If it in fact is not the magazine its self, 99 percent of the time it will be one or a combination of any of those above.

Nice! Thats a great past time. Back in the days before a 10/22 was all the rage, I used to take cool aid, splash it on the back of a paper target and pick off flies with my Ithaca X15. It was only 25 yards but good clean fun.
