      Remington 660 main spring removal issues

      Gents: I have an old Remington 660 in .308 (from what I can tell, its essentially a 600) that the father in law left me and I was getting light primer strikes. When I took the bolt apart, I noted that the main spring was covered with rust, as well as inside the bore it rides in within the bolt...

      Local 10 IUEC taking applications

      All of the skilled trades are an excellent path for anyone willing to work hard. steamfitter, electrician, plumber, elevator constructor, etc. I have done some work on the Howard County Applied Research Laboratory (more or less a vo-tech high school), might not hurt to look into putting fliers...

      Concealed carry first shots

      Definitely jealous of your range. Practice is obviously the most important facet of carry, and it's something I am sorely deficient on (one of the reasons I don't yet carry, even with my permit. Much more of a long-gun guy). Keep up the good fight, I'm glad to know there's one more competent...

      Gun cleaning sucks!

      I bought an 870 express and used it at PG county trap and skeet for probably 1000-2000 rounds before I had enough money to buy something nicer. I cleaned it religiously every time, even after a 50 round range trip (so probably 30 times). It now has an action smoother than a wingmaster, and I...

      Remington 1100 magnum barrel with screw in chokes

      All: I tried asking this on MDS a year or so ago, but searching Ebay every few weeks hasn't turned up much. My father in law left us with a beautiful 70's remington 1100 in great shape. It has the magnum barrel (30" 12ga with a fixed full choke). I've been told it's a "flyover gun" from when...

      Annapolis Harley

      people in annapolis are unfortunately the "wrong side of the aisle" for harleys. I don't ride a harley (I go foreign) and personally don't like them, but I wish I was surrounded by more people that do. I get along with them better.

      Most likely cause for this......?

      I used to shoot steel cased 308 through my AR-10 until it deformed the lip on the extractor enough it wouldn't remove any cases. I ordered a replacement, and have put probably an additional 500 rounds through the gun with no failures but I will not shoot anything other than brass cased out of...

      How to shoot steel through 70's Remington 1100

      Thank you all for the replies, this has been helpful. It seems that by shooting my fixed full choke I am at best patterning super tight and possibly unevenly, and at worst asking for trouble. So, I think I will retire the 30" full barrel for now. There isn't any point doing myself a disservice...

      How to shoot steel through 70's Remington 1100

      All: I recently came into possession of a 1970's model 1100 from my late father in law. It is a really pretty gun, in excellent shape. He always told me it was his "go to" goose gun. However, I can only assume that was back before the steel mandates for migratory bird hunting. I have to be...

      Gun cleaning sucks!

      I'm a mechanical guy by nature, and half of my fascination with firearms comes from the fact that they are such intricately tooled devices. I do like Bullfrog does. Sometimes, in the dead of winter on a dreary, boring day, I'll haul everything out and just take it apart, clean it, put it back...

      Restaurant Recs....

      I like Lures in crownsville a lot, but really you need to be aware of how the particular food will travel. Lots of restaurants have excellent food that will be "meh" if it sits in a container for 30 minutes while you drive home. Alternatively, outside seating or setting up a table and chairs...

      Any dirt bikers here?

      I did some work in bogota colombia and noticed all of the police (with the narcos there, they are more like a military force) all rode drz400s. If it was good enough for them (where they could die if the machine failed) it was good enough for me. Now I have one, but there are no trails...

      Cut myself because I am a big dummy!

      End of a job (HVAC controls guys always go last) and I had to drill a hole in a metal stud to feed a stat wire through. Just me and the GC (everyone else was done), junior guy finishing up the last punchlist items at the end of a big job. Well I was drilling with a regular bit and not a step...
