      Rant - effing hunters

      +1 to what jpk1md said...then track where they go to, what vehicle they use, and make sure something happens away from your property just so they wont make the connection... im thinkin a clever disabling of the distributor cap wires so they would have to call for AAA or something... and no...

      Loaded magazines- again

      about searching a car during a moving violation...i have been stopped with or without friends in the car and have not once been asked if i would consent to a search of the vehicle... i have been speeding a little, brake lights out, and other minor infractions, and it all boiled down to...

      Hornady TAP Personal Defense Ammunition 308 Winchester

      the idea was not to use it for home defense, but the ballistic info leads me to believe the pressures are safer for firing through a Mauser, even more so than NATO surplus... # Ballistics Information: # Muzzle Velocity: 3165 fps # Muzzle Energy: 2446 ft. lbs. compare that to stock NATO...

      Hornady TAP Personal Defense Ammunition 308 Winchester

      http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=236872 the ballistics on this ammo look really good for an old Mauser...anyone have an opinion? its 110 grain and the reviews are excellent! i found a shop that just got an order in this weekend...might go ahead and get a box or two! it...

      Spanish mauser

      i agree careful is the word...the more i ask about it and the more i look at it, it is pretty plain to see that it is indeed a "bubbatized" Mauser...the only part of the rifle that bears the f 8 which was unsuccessfully scrubbed off for the most part, is the barrel (makes me think this was from...

      Spanish mauser

      nope its a large ring, the measurement is exactly that of a larger ring link->"Across the face of the receiver will measure 1 3/8" ...and that is a noticeable difference... i thought it was small ring too until i got out the tape measure and saw for myself... the distance between the trigger...

      Spanish mauser

      i have been doing some much needed research on the origin of my Mauser, and one thing that i came up with is the serial number leads me to believe it is a Turkish Mauser for the most part, but it was dressed up to look like a Spanish Mauser...the serial number starts with an OT, which is...

      How Long? Do U Keep Mags Loaded?

      guess that means you didn't really get to use them very often... there is a simple reason for that...the humidity... but if you have them stored in a clean dry place like most civilians, there is little need for the swap... in the field, it is good to check them especially if they are...

      Interesting piece about our first four amendments...

      i you have read it before, then great...for those of us who have not this is important...it is a very well reasoned explanation of the importance of the bill of rights, especially the first four amendments... The Tripwire by D. Van Oort & J.F.A. Davidson From The Resister "How we...

      The Deer Have Been Moving

      saw several on the job Friday night, we were driving through residential and almost hit two of them, small deer, probably young does, i really want to get out this gun season and bag a doe... anyone know of any hunter friendly farmers around for off season hunting? used to do that...

      Spanish mauser

      i believe it was originally 7mm that was re-chambered for 7.62 nato, which it fires now...i took a look at the collar where the barrel meets the receiver, and it appears that it was indeed re-milled to compensate for too much head-spacing, since the collar is a fraction of an inch less than the...

      Spanish mauser

      well my brother had it stored in his gun locker for the last 20 years, and he got tired of storing it...so i had to get that and a bunch of my hunting gear from his house...he has not fired it since i left it there, i told him to sell it but then i changed my mind and really wanted to see if i...

      Spanish mauser

      i will post some pics as soon as possible, but i finally got my Spanish Mauser back after about 20 years...i have been looking it over and i noticed what appears to be stress cracks between the barrel and the receiver...is this just bad finish milling? i have not seen it in so long i cant...

      military recruitment in local high schools

      as long as people are not conscripts and its still a volunteer army, it is a personal decision... i personally think that military discipline is exactly what most of the youth need today, i support fellow soldiers, but i do not agree with the reasons for the "peace keeping operations" in...
