Hello,
I've not done an all-original article in a while, and I miss it. I hope you find it helpful.

Hi Folks,
I noticed my Savage MkII wasn't acting right, so I parked it until I could take a look at it.
A couple weeks ago a decided to resurrect it. It is a good-shooting rifle. A new trigger was a must, so I ordered a Rifle Basix.
I was aware of some bouncing going on when the bolt was...
Hi Folks,
I was asked on another board about sling positions and how do I work the bolt action on a rifle, anyway, without dismounting from my shoulder? I took pics and figured I'd post them here as well in the hopes it might help someone.

mosinmagazine.webs.com is FAKE.
It's stealing a picture from Richard. I'll be calling Brass Stacker Monday as they hold the patents now (Richard sold the patents to Brass Stacker and was working with them.)
There's no way this is going to be $25.
I went far enough into the website to...
Hi Folks,
The first concept of this sight was posted on a few boards only. I wanted to see if the concept seemed sound to most folks and was therefore worth pursuing.
Moving on, this is Prototype II:
Very tough construction. It's just a little high and I'll fix...
This is a basic accurizing kit for the Mosin-Nagant.
The tang shim is smaller than is usually seen, and the shims that should be steel, are, with the recoil lug shim being brass.
The pressure point is thin, oiled gasket stock, but I may change this to slightly thicker cork gasket...

If I get positive feedback with this, I might extend it for another week.
As well, if there's a sight you'd like to see put on sale, please just ask and I'll see what I can do.

Hello,
I'm sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. I had it set on high resolution, but on a 2.0mp Blackberry camera zoomed to 3x, that doesn't matter much.
The sign reads "No Person shall carry firearms or concealed firearms on these premises." Idiots. The address of this particular...
Hi All,
Found some primers. Bought 1k Federal LPP and 1K LRP from the local friendly gunstore. (These are the folks who know me by name and have called me in on milsurps after I bought a complete Gewehr 88/05 from them for $37.50 OTD :D Good folks, family owned, and large...
Hi Folks,
I've been asked by folks here and elsewhere for a range report for this sight.
Conditions were about 34F, light wind, and overcast with snow flurries turning into snow showers.
Distance was 75 or 80 yards. Though I lasered it at 75 yards, my shooting position changed...
Hello,
I did a big no-no for most forums: I created two accounts.
This was purely by accident, I promise you.
First I created this one, "Josh Smith".
I somehow forgot about it, and signed up a year later as "Joshua M. Smith", seen here: http://www.mdshooters.com/member.php?u=11889...
Hello,
My name is Josh Smith. I'm from Indiana. While searching the Web to see if I was the only one with a problem with my rimfire Savage's Accutrigger slipping the sear, I came across a thread by Buzzzy, who indicated he had the same problem. (It's far from isolated).
