  1. I sure bet Josh Whatshisname wished he was a better bald-faced liar, he is pathetic sounding when he is lying through his teeth for Ossoma Ben ----oops BHO!
  2. new email: Mack ...for what it's worth, I just got a call from the builder saying that he shipped the triggers yesterday. We shall see... triggers should be here buy Thurs. Van Barker Put in my order...
  3. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the freedom and liberty loving Americans residing in the land of milk and honey and the domain of the golden bear. We are praying for the demented souls of your state's current rulers to be cured of dementia that could be caused by inhaling too much giggle-weed smoke and eating too many tuna tacos! ..... Have a good day and welcome again from the Lone Star state.
  4. Thanks, II received an e-mail automatic reply that someone would reply soon.
  5. I left a message on their website about our group buy for the Rough-Justice 3/0 will see what he says
  6. I saw on the website that shipping was delayed a month or more, but what the heck, later is better than never!
  7. Well maybe I hollored HELP a bit premature: This it? Will it work in my DPMS LR308 Oracle? do you think? $155.00 $135.00 Rough-Justice 3/0Match-Grade AR15/M4 - AR10 Drop-in Trigger Group
  8. Okay Wash guy, just how do we get to the Rough Justice group buy place where we can get some one . Go to the Rough Justice site or the Mech Armour? and is there a secret handshake, secret code number or what? HELP!
  9. A good NRA marksman training course will include the things that go into aquireing and holding a sight picture whether using glass or iron sights. Use of the sling, getting into a correct position (Prone, Sitting Kneeling or Offhand) and learning to control heart beat movement and the correct breathing process and coordinated trigger squeeze. Many NRA rifle and pistol clubs will have members with military and LEO marksman instructor training and are willing to tutor shooters and observe their needs. Of course there are professional training shooting clubs where excellent training is available for a fee. But what the heck, you have already spent good money over the years for rifles and ammo.
  10. Before the M16 was the standard service rifle, the M1 training manual suggested that after loading a clip and eight rounds to tap the operating rod handle forward to assure the bolt completely closed and the round was chambered, even though the hammer on the M1 has a spur that engages a notch in the bolt to assure the bolt is rotated closed before the hammer strikes the fireing pin. Ever since then I do "a forward assist" after chambering the first round, in my Ruger Mini-14, Ruger 10-22, remington 1100, LR308. etc., etc.,etc......
  11. I wonder if one of these little jewels will fit my full choke Ithaca mod. 37?
  12. I hope my experience of over 65 years of shooting and 6 years of milatary training in the USMC and USMCR ( even USMC reservists were required to qualify with the service rifle one day of 50 rounds pre-qual and one day of Qualifying 50 rounds from 200,300, and 500 yards) and 20 years of teaching NRA Marksmanship to 4H kids from 8 years of age to 18 years of years with BB, 22LR and 20 years of teaching NRA Hunter Safety to 12 years old and up to adults can be helpful to someone. I will be ready to answer questions and recommend some training suggestions for marksmanship problems.
  13. Like I said. "WHO are these GUYS? WHERE ARE they from, maybe some foreign ROTC university? Damn Let the dogs loose!
  14. When you shoot on the range call your shot ,be honest, watch carefully when you are taking up slack in the trigger calling the sight will be a clue about why the round didn't impact the bull because of flinches, jerks, unstable position etc.,etc. But a very big but is everyone needs instruction in marksmanship training from a good marksmanship course. I had been shooting rifles ever since I was eight I am blessed with excellent eye sight and was a fairly decent shot without any formal training. My training in Marine boot camp made me an Expert rifleman and Marine Corp advanced marksmanship training made me better. We spent many hours training on sighting and holding a correct picture, position training and sling use, and days on the snap-in range.
  15. Just who are these Guys?
  16. Here is the log book that I print and have used for myself: [PDF] COMPETITIVE RIFLEMAN'S DATA BOOK (3591) - inlex.net
  17. the editing timeout got me before I was finished. I think you have a good understanding of the BDC scope, verify your thoughts with live ammo at the range on non-dangerous paper.
  18. What I do is because of my experiance and bases on my USMC training with the M1 Garand rifle iron sights adjustments. For example" Sighting in I boresight the rifle for 200 yards zero, shoot at 100 yards adjust elevation and windage to get on at 200 yards. use the Federal Ballistics tables to test fire at 200,300,and 400 yards, log the data in my rifle log book, compare it with the ballistic table. I then Check out the BDC on my Bushnell .223 (basically same trajectory as my Federal 7.62X51 150 gn MK319) and then using the instructions with the scope. I checked each dot at 400 yards and it alppears that the 200 yard zero will shoot close using the dots for hold over without having to adjust the elevation and windage knobs. Bassically I log my shooting data in my rifle logbook. The bushnell BDC scope is the first BDC scope I ever have owned and I did a lot of reading to compare to what actually happens on the range, I am still uncertain about using the BDC reticle for hunting, as I have used the mental picture of what I see in the sights (apparent size of target to estimate hold over) I seldom tke a shot at a deer, hog or coyote over 200 Yards. My experiance of long range shooting is using my .3006 sporterized Springfield 03A3 or my M1 Garand in .3006 beyond 400 Yds. and I am pretty much a two rifle shooter for shooting paper or hunting, I am just getting into shooting the LR308/7.62X51 maybe I will become a three rifle shooter. My Bushnell BDC reticle: I use crosshair for 200,first dot for 300, next one for 400. I have not mastered which dot is which without taking some time to go down to the right dot quick enough to really be efficient using it. I am sure the guys training with one day in and day out like them, I'm not too crazy about it, myself.
  19. well Wash, I have watched my dad and locals where I was raised harvest mountain oysters from young hogs and cook them up when they were fresh and as I remember they were delishous. There are not any hair on them . Just open the ballbag lenghwise, pull them out clip off the cord and toss them in a bucket of water, slop on some strong tar like ointment on the wound , let the pig loose in the pig pen and I suppose he tells hls litter mates about his operation.
  20. That sounds like hogs that are free to roam really adapt to their new habitat and new environment.
  21. maybe the Mountain Oysters will grow hair on your chest? I wonder how many generations of hogs these are since they were domestic hogs? It looks like some of these balls would fit on Washes new fangled automatic meat smoker? Maybe you would need to soak them in a pan of salt water for a couple of days before putting them on the smoker
  22. yes there many scenarios that could have played out in WWI
  23. sorry Ed, but by the text and language you led me to believe that you have little or near no experience fixing broken motor vehicles in your opening posting. Bust some nuts and knuckles.
  24. I doubt that these bullets were an mid air collision, the victim appears to have not been fired (no rifling marks) and more than likely was in a a ammo pouch.
  25. Harmonics make the barrel have a long wave action. Sometimes in horizontal or vertical action and different points. I believe it is caused by the bullet torque action in the rifleling. JMHO Back when we started glass bedding bolt actions we did a small barrel pressing point out near the end of the forearm believing it was good to disrupt the barrel harmonics but when experimenting with how much pressure contributed to accuracy it was discovered that free floating worked best when the receiver was very rigid. I glass beded a 03A3 several Mauser action 2506 rifles and the freefloated ones were more accurate. I used sandpaper to freefloat until a playing card would easily slide between the forearm and the barrel. Accuracy was improved on both a cold barrel and a hot barrel.
