You just never know, Driver killed by droped concrete
frankmako replied to RED333's topic in General Chat
there are a lots of dirt bags in this world. most get off because the courts don't do their jobs. we need to bring back the chain gang. back in the 60's i use to watch the chain gang cutting the right of way by sling blade in the hot august sun. i knew that i did not want to break the law and end up on the chain gang. -
I still watch but the show is getting slow. After time there is not much new things you can do. It has been on to long. Time to wrap it up.

The pawn shops in my area think their guns have gold in them. The prices are high and they don't deal. I just walk out. When you can buy new over pawn shop prices then it time to walk. Also the other items in store are priced the same as guns.

David Hogg is coming to FedEx in Memphis

he is a fool and is being used by the left. -
i use ss pin wet for rifle and i do the normal walnut clean with the pistol brass. once a year i will deprime my pistol brass and run them in the ss wet pin system. i use the frankfort arsenal one.

i reload lots of 30-30 for nra cla silhouette matches. so i have seen just about everything a 30-30 brass can do. but i have never split any neck on my brass during reloading or shooting. most of my brass has 10 plus reloads. after the last match i have two cases that had a split in the shoulder area. i trim my brass when needed and once a year i anneal my brass. i run a inside neck brush with lube on it on all my brass before i resize/deprime them. then clean in a ss pin cleaner system. what rifle are you using and what is your load.

frankmako replied to Ahitchc4's topic in Ammunition and Reloading

NRA SILHOUETTE JACKSON, TN
frankmako replied to David S. Mackiernan's topic in Competitive Shooting Sports
A scope CZ 455 will work. I carry one as my backup match rifle. The CZ shoots just as good as my Anschutz 1712. Standard class the rifle with scope has to be under 10.2 pounds with a safe trigger. Bull barrel is okay in standard class and you can go a little more than a hunting style rifle stock. In the hunter rifle class the rifle with scope has to be under 8 1/2 pounds with a 2 pound or higher trigger pull. Hunter rifle must have a taper barrel and a hunting type stock. There are other things in both classes concerning scope height and type/size of stock/comb/fore end. Most club matches that I have shot over the years don't get to much upset on the little things. They want the new shooters to grow the sport. But, if you go to a State Match, Regional Match, and/or the Nationals your rifle will be checked. Seen many crying because their rifle did not make the rules during inspection. But to get back to your question a CZ 455 will make a good silhouette rifle. Just get the one with the taper barrel, work the trigger to 2.25 pounds, keep weight under 8.5 pounds, and use the factory stock. You can use a Hunter Rifle in the Standard Rifle class. -
what a fool.

get a survey of the lines. then have the current owner fix the problems. it he can not fix the problems that pass the legal test it is time to look at others places to buy. these type of problems don't go away.

Winchester 75 premature fire
frankmako replied to Choatecav's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
As with any older and/or used guns that you pickup used, you need to break down and clean. Then you need to a safety/function check making sure the gun is safe and will work as it should. -
Merry Christmas to all. I hope all will have a great new year.

I would like to get a box or two to try. They seem to be mini mag with a polymer coating.

i got over 25 trees on the farm that give some large nuts each year. we put them on the dirt driveway by our barn and run over them with a tractor. after they dry out we knock off the rest of the hull. then i set by the smoke house breaking them open with a hammer on top of a very large iron i-bean. lots of work for the return, but you don't waste.
