I have a mixmaster M1 Garand, and it has just recently begun a failure to feed, and failure to eject at sporadic times. Could it be the Op Rod? BTW, I searched the forums, but if this has been asked before I couldn't find it.

Anyone have links to movies showing the operations of different types of firearms? I'm developing a firearms class, and would love to have a cache of movies to interject into the course. And any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I finally took a sanity day off from work to go to the range. While there, I remembered a few things: 1. A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. 2. A good day at the range is better than, well, almost anything. 3. Shooting is a cheap form of mental rehabilitation. 4...

Actually, I did a search for the GSA suppliers, but only found one. They wanted $0.66/round for 9mm!:what: And this was nothing special 9mm. So, that was out. Although some government agencies feel they have carte blanche to pay this much, I cannot with a clean conscience, especially...

The owners of the reactors sites ("licensees") are responsible for their protection. They can either use their own home-grown force or a contracted force such as Wackenhut. Either way, they are still responsible for what happens, so it behooves them to have a quality force. It is definitely...

Well, I can tell you we don't have any of those.:scrutiny: We're actually contracting with another agency to do this training. Unfortunately, they can't spare this type of ammo from their stockroom. I lookd at GT distributors, and I don't think they have everything-- it's worth an email...

Because we inspect the security of nuclear facilities. You would be surprised.:cool:

Sure! If you work for the NRC. :) I know it's a little low, but I thought you might have somewhat of an idea.... :D BTW, that website is great! They may have all we need. Of course, I need to get three bids.:( As for the walmart, we have one right next to our building, but they won't...

Hello all-- I also posted at AR15.com, but that is my other favorite board.:neener: I work for a small federal organization (NRC), and am in need of finding where I can purchase a bulk of ammo in a relatively short amount of time (prior to mid-July). It needs to be from an organization which...

Entomology Now, before you think, "Bugs are cheap-- they find me!" there is quite a bit of equipment you have to outlay before you can do it right. Microscopes, nets, lights, collecting apparati, storage boxes, storage cabinets, etc. etc. Not to mention the time it takes. I'm re-building my...

Sorry-- having troubles with attachments.

Is this the air rifle, or the wife? :D

I was able to convince my lovely wife it was the right time to purchase my Christmas present: I got a Feinwerkbau P70 Air Rifle, with an air tank, two adapters, sights, bipod, SKB case, leather sling and tools. :cool: Now, before you say, "Hey! That's not a firearm!" You are correct...

*whew* "I actually meant it as a rhetorical comment that might come up from the media along with all the other expected cliche's" Oh. O.K. :D I was hoping that was the case.....:cool:

""home schooled" One more example of a kid not being able to develope any social skills acting in an anti-social way???" If you are serious, this was probably one of the dumbest statements made on THR in a long time. Are you serious? You obviously have no clue as to what...
