  1. ...Management, Secretariat, Science and Technology, Health Affairs, TSA, Civil Rights and Liberties, Intelligence and analysis, Legislative Affairs, Public Affairs, FEMA, etc. Not all pistol toten positions. I haven't seen their normal yearly ammo purchase amount anywhere. This may well be standard. It does sound like a lot.
  2. A lot of wisdom right there!
  3. If there's doubt, I usually go with the straight edge test. If the primer is seated a bit below flush, it's usually good to go. I guess you could put them in a hand primer and see if they'll seat any deeper.
  4. I'm guessing a Northern Pine Snake. http://www.google.com/search?q=northern+pine+snake&hl=en&rlz=1W1ADSA_enUS468&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=a2h2T-ClIuXKsQLq_ZijBA&sqi=2&ved=0CCsQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=719 The venomous snakes usually have slitted eyes, and a more blunt tail tip. This one has round eyes and a sharp tip on the tail.
  5. I've never been able to comprehend carrying one type of ammo, yet target practicing with another. I firmly believe you should shoot what you carry, and carry what you shoot.
  6. http://sharpeningmadeeasy.com/steels.htm http://www.knifeart.com/steelfaqbyjo.html It isn't as simple as the question you asked. It certainly depends on the heat treat, the steel manufacture's tolerances, and what properties you assign importance to in a knife blade. Most knives today, with the exception of ultra cheap Chinese and Pakistani junk, are made of pretty good steel.
  7. Does Kathleen Sebelius pack heat? Janet Napalitano
  8. I expect you'll likely get better training from the NRA certified instructor than the State certified instructor. Not necessarially a fact, but the odds are with you.
  9. Your boss shouldn't eber find out if you are carrying unless the need arises to use your weapon. At that point, who cares?
  10. WIn white box FMJ. It's cheap, shoots great, and readily available. With the 380, I'm looking for reliable function and penetration over possible expansion.
  11. How many of these employees actually use firearms in their duties?
  12. I guess they are. I pulled one off an 1895 Marlin 44mag, and gave it to another guy who put it on a 30-30 Marlin. I've only seen one size for sale, so I assume they are pretty much standard.
  13. Good looking knives! I'm gonna have to check that store out. I didn't know there was a Woodcraft store in the Middle Tennessee area.
  14. I was going to ask which one is hers. I once worked with a guy who bought a pink truck just to start fights. He drove it for several years, and loved to fight better than I love to eat.
  15. a)NO b)NO c)NO d)YES e)NO f)NO
  16. I believe it will ork now. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/46657-period-scope-for-a-vintage-riflemans-rifle/
  17. I've had this model 70 Featherweight in 243 Winchester for a number of years now. A week or two ago, I found a period scope and mounts I thought would look good on it. It is a Bausch and Lomb BalVay 8a. It is 2.8x8 power, and has a tapered crosshair reticle. These scopes are very clear and bright. Their marketing ploy was an interesting one. The adjustments are in the scope. The rings have a plunger setup, so that once zeroed on a particular rifle, it can be removed and reattached without altering zero. In effect, you can use the same scope on multiple guns just as quick as you can pull it off one and snap it on another. After a bit of difficulty due to my ignorance, I have it mounted and am quite pleased with it.
  18. Thanks for the offer, Jeff. If this doesn't work, I might be in touch.
  19. Glad to hear you got it to work.
  20. American black walnut. Yours is the Trapper model. The ranger would have a very plain yellow stock. You have a fairly sought after piece there. If it's like most of them, you'll find it's a great shooter.
  21. Read the writings of Mr. Elmer Keith, and you'll find that a 44 Magnum is an essential gun to own. You'll know you've gone off the deep end when you start buying 30-20s, 41 Mags, 256 Hawkeyes and the like.
  22. http://www.hegibbs.com/index.htm The old Bausch and Lomb Balvar line of scopes are quite interesting to me. They seem to be of high quality, and the big selling point of them was that the point of impact adjustments were in the mounts; not in the scope. This way, you were able to zero the scope on different rifles, and swap back and forth with no change in zero. This arrangement also made for a very rugged and durable scope.
  23. Thanks everybody. I found a stripped screw hole repair kit at Ace Hardware, that consists of thin sheets of a corrugated metal. They have a similar texture to a file. You cut them to size, drop in the screw hole, and screw in the screw. This worked, and only costed $1.99. If it lets go in the future, I'll likely pick up a helicoil kit.
  24. I'd suggest a size larger pants, and if you don't have one, a good double layer, leather gun belt. Sounds likt it may be squeezed in too tight to your body. On the other hand, it could be a poor holster design.
  25. Not a 99. It is on a pre 64 model 70 featherweight in 243. The screws are 8-32, and I believe a helicoil kit is available. How well do they work? I've never used them. I have thought about JB weld. I guess it's worth a try.
