Cant get Stag10l to shoot,ejector swipes etc.
mrmackc replied to Popeye51's topic in Building a .308AR
Yes, a sharp edge ejector face may be the problem, how about a rough chamber? Did you follow the recommended break in for that rifle? Maybe just using reloads that aren't properly resized? Maybe if you have 500 rounds without FTE or FTF you are just thinking you have a problem? -
Back in the day (even before my younger days)Texas Rangers, not the baseball bunch, trained their horses to not spook when the Rangers shot their Winchester repeating rifles from the saddle in a dead run. Their horses were often semi-broken and often did a bucking spell when first mounted early in the morning.

98, I think you must have peed on an electric fence or two.

here is some more stuff from my cousin that is 94 and lives in an assisted living place, which is almost like living in a nursing home but costs more. This is what she comes up with: God's Plan for Aging: Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys, and other things, thus doing more walking. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose coordination so they would drop things, requiring them to bend, reach, and stretch. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors would have additional calls of nature, requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing more exercise. God looked down and saw that it was good. So if you find as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it’s God’s will. It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under your breath. Nine Important Facts to Remember as We Grow Older #9 Death is the number 1 killer in the world. #8 Life is sexually transmitted.. #7 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. #6 Men have 2 motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich. #5 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years. #4 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing. #3 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. #2 In the 60's, people took LSD to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal. #1 Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow. Please share this wisdom with others while I go to the bathroom Don't look down your nose, about this being silly, Lord willing you will be old too, someday. . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This ain't all of it, but some I picked out for you folks. Don’t name a cow you plan to eat. Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for. Never miss a good chance to shut up. Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce. Keep skunks, lawyers, and bankers at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. Don’t sell your mule to buy a plow. Don’t corner something meaner than you. When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty. Don’t squat with your spurs on. Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. When in doubt, let your horse figure it out. A good fence should be pig tight, horse high, and bull strong. Good judgment comes from experience, specially them that had to pee on the electric fence. If you’re ridin’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then, to make sure it’s still there with ya. Only a fool argues with skunk, a mule, or a cook. Any hoss’s tail kin ketch cuckleburrs. Always drink upstream from the herd. There’s two theories to arguin’ with a woman. Neither one works. A pair of six-shooters beats a pair of aces. An angry bull is less dangerous than an angry woman. An old timer is a man who’s had a lot of interesting experiences — some of them true. Speak your mind, but ride a fast horse. Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction. A cow outfit’s never better than its hosses.

Some people can come out of a rose garden with a stinking mess, which I see as ten gallons of cat shitt in a five gallon bucket, and expect to smell like Old Spice. IMHO -
And cordless, never a need to charge, I am looking forward to buying a Nuclear Corvair or Pinto.

At only 50 you ain't a codger yet, let alone an old codger ! -
He grew up big 6 2" strong as a longhorn, and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces. When he finally came of age, he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: The West Texas Sheriffs Department. After a series of tests and interviews, the Chief Deputy finally called him into his office for the young mans last interview. The Chief Deputy said, "Youre a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look good, but we have, what you might call, an "Attitude Suitability Test" that you must take before you can be accepted. We just dont let anyone carry our badge, son." Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the Chief said, "Take this pistol and go out and shoot: Six Illegal Aliens, Six Lawyers, Six meth dealers, Six Muslim Extremists, Six Democrats, and a rabbit." "Why the rabbit?" queried the applicant. "You passed," said the Chief Deputy. "When can you start?" I LOVE TEXAS!

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot Wiley Post, was one of the Greatest political country/cowboy sages this country has ever known. Some of his sayings: 1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. 2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman Neither works. 4. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 5. Always drink upstream from the herd. 6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. 7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket. 8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves. 9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. 11. Lettin' the cat outta’ the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back. 12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral : When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. ABOUT GROWING OLDER... First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved. Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra. Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top. Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it's such a nice change from being young. Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been. Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable and relaxed. Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf. And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.
